Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU:  timing with cm and opk. Just got my tempdrop back last cycle

R/R: well CD 1 came a day earlier than expected. My LP is always the same length so this is a tad strange and adding to my disappointment a day early at dpo 8/9 really bums me out. This cycle we will be tta which makes it even more disapointing. 

CS/Q:

@jhysmath I've had a couple cycles like that. Sometimes I wonder if the actual time of day that ovulation occurs plays a part in LP. Like if you ovulate super early morning vs the afternoon could that make your LP appear to be one day shorter or longer. I wouldn't be too concerned if LP is +/- 1 day from your usual length.

Month/Cycle: 50/10 AL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: opks, bbt, gf/df diet, supplements

R/R: going for dose 2 of the covid vaccine today woo! DH is off today to prepare our house for guests tomorrow but he's currently playing Planet Coaster and watching Youtube. So much for getting the house cleaned up and organized We have most of tomorrow for cleaning so even though I'm annoyed that he's not doing anything, I can't be a complainer.

CS/Q:

@jhysmath sorry about CD1 and the bench cycle. Hoping you can stay busy until next cycle and it flies by for you!

@inthewoods23 fingers crossed you're one of the ones who doesn't get a reaction to the second dose. My DH is the same way! I'll be practically vibrating ready to go at things to clean and he'll be looking to "rest" after 10 minutes of doing something.

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon, metformin for me, vit c and e for him

R/R: Uuuuughhhhhh. We have to batten down the hatches today because we won't be home most of the day tomorrow, and there's a freaking hurricane coming Sunday. Yaaaay. At least I'll have some cake, since I'm making a cake today and I'll have the bits I cut off the top and out of the middle that I can snack on lol.

CS/Q: nothing exciting. Woke up early today and didn't think about temping til I was already awake for like an hour so said forget it. Will probably start OPKs today to be safe.

@jhysmath ❤️ hugs. TTA/benched cycles are tough. I tried to focus on things I can do (not having to worry about taking ibuprofen, etc, having that glass of wine in the TWW) and planned a lot of fun activities. I hope you guys have something fun planned in the next month that you can look forward to!

@inthewoods23 good luck with dose #2!

@fantasyflyte fingers crossed you guys stay safe with the hurricane! That season is unfortunately upon us now. Which reminds me, I really need to upgrade our flashlight situation...🤔

Month/Cycle: 3AL

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, cm, opk

R/R: it's Friday! Maybe I'll work out on the garage this afternoon. All my meetings will be done for the day here in a little bit so I've got the space!

CS/Q: definitely shouldn't have slept in 30 min today. That temp rise combined with my + opk (super concentrated pee???) yesterday and my even more + opk today (also kinda concentrated) has me really confused what's going on. My normal O day is 13.🤷‍♀️ Who knows.

Hi everyone - sorry I’ve been MIA. It’s the last week of summer vacation here, DH and I are both teachers so we’ve been ultra busy getting ready/cramming in last minute summer stuff.

@jhysmath Sorry for your TTA cycle

@inthewoods23 Yah fully vaccinated!

@fantasyflyte Mmm, cake. I love your bonus cake hack 

@pajamstagrams I’m in the same boat with changing wake up times right around O, ugghhh.

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: temp, CM

R/R: DH went back to work this week, I go back next week. I think it’s both a rant and a rave

CS/Q: Temp is up today, but also a bunch of EWCM, so maybe O is today and not yesterday? 🤷‍♀️

@pajamstagrams I'm in New England, so we usually don't get a lot of tropical weather. Of course this is now the second year in a row, and the fourth time in a decade that we've been hit by significant tropical systems, so... As a weather nerd, it's super interesting to me. As a homeowner, it sucks.

@wisewitch222 I've had cycles with EWCM in the couple days after O, so I wouldn't be surprised if you did O yesterday and it's just taking a little longer for the cm to catch up.

@fantasyflyte cake makes everything better lol


Just sitting and waiting 5 more minutes before I can head home after dose 2! I remembered my phone this time so I actually know what time it is. There's no clocks where they seat us. Last time I guessed it and ended up sitting for 20 minutes instead of 15.

@jhysmath sorry for CD1, especially coming early. 
@inthewoods23 Good luck with your second dose! Hope you can take it easy tomorrow.
@fantasyflyte Stay safe this weekend! Looking forward to hearing how the cake turns out.
@pajamstagrams Happy Friday! Hope you had a good work out. I forced one to happen yesterday and it really helped my mental state.
@wisewitch222 Good luck with the new school year!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opk

R/R: Not a great day at work today. I really hope to figure out a way to get through some of my anxiety and anger. It's not helping that I was supposed to be at a concert with my sisters this weekend but between delta and MBA classes it's not going to happen. I just want something to look forward to, you know? Meh, at least it's Friday I guess.

CS/Q: Definitely understanding how much my bbt is influenced by things like my dogs waking us up early for breakfast or hitting the snooze button several times. Also I'm having some strange cramping in my lower abdomen lately. I'm currently chalking this up to being hyper aware of all feelings related to my reproductive system now.

jhysmath

Thank you all for the support. My husband didn't "get it" he said ok well I guess we'll try for a late June baby.... Well sorry darling that's not how the dates would align. I have a 32 day cycle.

@inthewoods23 good luck with dose 2, it was a lot easier than everyone made it out to be.

@pajamstagrams advil is awesome so
that is a great point especially heading back into the school year I always get terrible headaches adjusting to school.

@fantasyflyte I didn't even realize there was a hurricane coming until I heard it on the radio today. I really need to start watching the news of something. We're in northern New England so we should be safe. I hope all your preparations aren't even needed.

@wisewitch222 my husband and I are both teachers too, and after last year we decided we're not going in until we have to, so Monday for pd day we'll go in. The school we're at gives us a pd day to work in our classrooms so that's super awesome, our last district didn't allow for that.

wisewitch222

@pinkkillersheep Sorry you are missing the concert 😞

@jhysmath Good luck with your school year!

pajamstagrams

@wisewitch222 i always have EWCM 2-3 days after ovulation.

@pinkkillersheep sorry you're having to miss the concert, that's such a bummer.
