CD/DPO: 18/3 (I'm going with my own assumption for ovulation for now)

Timing: O, +1

Typical LP length: 14-16ish

Testing: No sir

R/R: It's above freezing here today!!!! Thank god. Please let this be the end of winter. I feel like we spend all spring waiting for spring, and then it's summer. Sad because spring used to be one of my favorite seasons. I miss the cherry blossoms in DC terribly.

CS/Q: Meh. I'm not sure how to override FF to assume ovulation happened on CD 15 instead of CD 11. Like I know better than FF Kicking myself for not POS sooner. I'll just have to ride it out and see.

@mrsmtothek It was 80 here yesterday and 40 today. Spring apparently means wild oscillation between winter and summer. 

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: good-ish

Typical LP length: 12 + progesterone

Testing: Maybe tomorrow, definitely Saturday so I can stop progesterone

R/R: I have a crazy busy afternoon, so might be a P&G kind of day. I have left a (clean) pile of laundry on our living room floor for an impressive five days now. I guess I should probably fold it and put it away since it's almost time to do laundry again. 

CS/Q: Nope

@mrsmtothek I'm glad you're not letting FF dictate when you O'ed! To override, you can click on the hamburger menu (top right) > Settings > Detector/Override settings and select OPK or Manual or whatnot. 

@abjm0325 MH and I are super guilty of letting clean laundry linger in piles or in baskets. Good luck with your busy day!

I go here now!

CD/DPO: 16/1

Timing: -2, -1, O (FF qualifies this at 'High')

Typical LP length: I control it with progesterone. Muahahahaha.

Testing: Dunno yet

R/R: Good lord yesterday I was in so much pain because of O. I had to take several of my meetings from the couch, where I was nursing a heating pad. Luckily it got much better by evening, and MH and I were able to DTD one final time this cycle. We really went all out. A topic for the After Dark thread. 

I'm excited for it being Thu because Thursdays are our no meetings from 1-4pm days. Which, as a project manager, I really need. 

CS/Q: there was a lot of sex this month. It ain't a Hail Mary unless it's a Hail Mary. Lol.

CD/DPO: 18/1

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, O

Typical LP length: no clue

Testing: I am going to TRY to wait as long as I can but it’s soooooooo hard. I am not a patient person. 

R/R: Raves- my husband is off work today, my best friend is coming over to celebrate her new job, and I just feel like good things are coming. I read my tarot regularly (I use it as a tool of self reflection, kind of like guided journaling if you will, more as a way to gain perspective on my feelings and situation than to “divine the future”) and all my readings lately have been so positive. 

Rants- I’m ready for warm weather! Not nasty hot but just consistently 60+ with rain at night so we don’t have fires this summer. A girl can dream! 

CS/Q: not at the moment 

mrsmtothek

@acleverusername Awesome thank you!! That would've driven me crazy seeing a different DPO and making me feel like I can test when I shouldn't 

Edited for spoiler. Apparently FF doesn't trust my judgement enough to update my homepage chart

@mrsmtothek Actually, your homepage is updated now!

CD/DPO: 16 / 2

Timing: -3, -2, -1 (x2), O

Typical LP length: I thought 14, but OPK CBD show it’s closer to 16 or 17 days. Glad I used them.

Testing: new at this, testing for what? Too early for hcg but did use OPK CBD

R/R: So impatient! Trying to relax and not stress but want to know! First time trying so I know the odds, but timing was really good. Also have only used BC on/off in my life (probably less than 8 months total) - just never really liked it but glad now that I didn’t. Have noticed since 1 DPO I’ve been EXHAUSTED. Like, needing 3hr naps each afternoon which is very unusual for me, and having lots of very vivid dreams too. I did start PNV around CD 6 - trying to be proactive, noticed this cycle O pain was significantly more than usual. Both husband and I are 29yrs.

CS/Q: haven’t started charting, was going to start now though incase this cycle didn’t work. Just got a BBT thermometer off Amazon yesterday but forgot to use this morning.
