Re: TWW Tuesday 8/3

  • Month/Cycle: 3/7

    CD/DPO: 27/12

    Timing: good if I actually ovulated 

    Typical LP length: I’ve got 5 more days of progesterone 

    Testing: today- negative 

    R/R: Im debating on if I should go rouge with the letrozole next month. I’m really torn. 

    CS/Q: natm

  • @daisy0322 Rogue as in take all that you have left next cycle with no monitoring, or rogue as in doing the same dose for the other 2 cycles you were supposed to do but no monitoring? I'm not a medical professional so I would say no, but my understanding of letrozole leads me to believe it's pretty harmless. I think I took 5mg a day but I have seen some on as much as 10mg. Just remember that more is not always better (like in terms of IVF meds to grow follicles).

    Month/Cycle: 50/9 AL

    CD/DPO: 19/3 (although Flo says 4 since it always seems to default to O being the day after the first positive OPK and not when the actual temp increase happens)

    Timing: per FF, -3, -1, 0, +1

    Typical LP length: 12-13 days

    Testing: for shits and giggles I'll test super early this weekend

    R/R: I was supposed to be working in the office today but the internet was out. Sat around for a while and after my boss came in after 9 he said to give it another 15 minutes and if it's still out to just go work at home. So yay I got to put comfy clothes back on! I never did get to doing a load of laundry or two so I will take this wonderful opportunity to get that done.

    CS/Q: it's looking A+

  • @daisy0322 I totally get that temptation. I definitely considered it too when my doctor didn’t want to go forward with a medicated cycle with my diabetes scare but ultimately, he’s the medical professional and I decided to trust his judgment. You gotta do what you feel is best but I’m agreeing with @inthewoods23 and would caution you.

    @inthewoods23 yay for comfy clothes and being able to catch up on laundry! 

    @shortstack930 I hope tomorrow is better. Those days are definitely challenging!

    Month/Cycle: 26/4AL

    CD/DPO: 28/6

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 13 

    Testing: maybe this weekend?

    R/R: I’m excited because I got asked to mentor the new music teacher we just hired. I was a mentor last year but they assigned me to the librarian instead of one of the 3 new music teachers which really didn’t make any sense to me but whatever. We agreed at the end of last school year that the two of us weren’t a good fit, simply because I wasn’t really able to help her with what she needed given that we teach different subjects and she is a more experienced teacher than me. I think my new assignment will be a much better fit for both of us! I’ve met him a few times already between interviews and him shadowing a day or two in June. I’ll have to go to new teacher orientation next week.

    CS/Q: 

  • @inthewoods23 i was thinking about taking them as prescribed just with no monitoring. If I don’t then we really just are benched until we get picked for FET and bio child is just not a possible option 


  • @daisy0322 no real advice here since I haven't taken it before, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you either way. Without any other info, though, I'd agree with the others, it makes me nervous to think about going rogue when it comes to medical stuff.

    @inthewoods23 yay comfy clothes! Sounds like a good day overall.

    @shortstack930 it's always tough getting back into work mode after a few days off, hope it improves soon.

    @gingermama29 awesome, sounds like the new assignment will be great!


    Month/Cycle: 10/9

    CD/DPO: 22/2

    Timing: O-2, O-1

    Typical LP length: 10-11 days

    Testing: late next week

    R/R: throat is still bugging me, voice is still crap. But we're going to a concert tomorrow so that's very exciting and should be super fun.

    CS/Q: chart's on OPK detector at the moment, but should have regular CH tomorrow.



  • @gingermama29 The new mentorship sounds like it has potential!

    @fantasyflyte hopefully you’re almost over your cold, sounds like it’s been going on forever.

    @inthewoods23 very jealous of getting to work in comfy clothes.

    Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD/DPO: 29/?

    Timing: ?

    Typical LP length: ?

    Testing: unsure

    R/R: It’s been a real weird time lately with family and work stuff.

    CS/Q: FF is officially confused and has decided it’s not sure what to do with me. After another low bbt this morning it took my predicted O day away.
