CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: goodish

Typical LP length: 12 + progesterone

Testing: 4/1

R/R: I dislike testing for the first time on the weekends (prefer the upcoming workday to distract me, I guess) so I'm testing a day earlier than usual on Friday. I will test again on Saturday if it's negative though, before I stop progesterone. It is beautifully sunny today but kind of cold. I'm holding out for when the spring weather returns. Trying to psych myself up to walk at lunch even though my walking buddy is gone this week. 

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What's your favorite part of taking a road trip? So despite being the one to pose this question, I actually get carsick sometimes so road trips aren't always fun for me. I selfishly asked this to pump myself up for a longer road trip we're taking this spring! I do love seeing different places while you travel and the uninterrupted time to chat with the other people in the car.

@abjm0325 I am ready for spring weather to come back, also… I’m over the cold! 

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 37/5 dpo

Timing: +1

Typical LP length: 10-12 days

Testing: probably not

R/R: I’m just done with this cycle. FF can’t make up its mind and I’m over it. This is the best of the crosshairs I’ve gotten since we actually DTD at some point around O, but I’m just ready to get into the next cycle. 

CS/Q:  Enjoy this mess

GTKY: What's your favorite part of taking a road trip? Just the joy of not having a timeline. I’m such a planner that when we take road trips, MH doesn’t tell me anything. I just sit back, relax, and turn off my brain! It’s wonderful!

@ejoseph16 Ugh, sorry for the frustrating chart. I do love being able to turn off planning brain sometimes!

@abjm0325 how interesting, I'm the total opposite! I prefer testing on the weekends.

@ejoseph16 ahh sorry for the confusing chart. I'm struggling with mine this month too.

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 25/11?

Timing: -2, -1?

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: Possibly sometime this week.

R/R: I have a bad headache today, as well as still dealing with some leftover exhaustion from being sick. But I'm back at work today so I'm trying hard to just get through the day.

CS/Q: Can't share my chart right now, but my temps are just barely above the coverline, so I'm thinking maybe I just didn't O this cycle due to that fever I had right at the time of O. I think I asked something similar last week, but is it possible that a fever can stop you from ovulating? It's a bummer since I had a peak OPK the day before so I was really thinking we had great timing this cycle.

GTKY: What's your favorite part of taking a road trip? Getting to the destination. lol I don't like being in the car for long periods of time, I get motion sickness pretty badly.

@annanbby sickness can delay you, and so can stress. Stress is my culprit this month… so I’m sure sickness is probably yours. I had Covid at the beginning of my last cycle, and it delayed O by a few days. 

abjm0325

@annanbby I'm sorry you're still not feeling great. Hopefully if you were already gearing up to O it wasn't delayed? But I do know it's possible.
