CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: doesn't matter

Typical LP length: 12 + progesterone

Testing: BFN this morning - I know I'm not technically out, but I was emotional this morning and I'm done testing

R/R: I had a vicious migraine last night and didn't take any serious medication because of the TWW. So the BFN this morning felt particularly rude. I also think I was really pinning my hopes on this month because of the difficult announcements we've had lately, you know the whole "I can cope if I at least know my turn is coming." But it's not (yet anyway), so that was a hard pill to swallow. Sorry to be a downer today. Even the weather is letting me down as it is currently SNOWING. Not amused, April. Not amused.

CS/Q: Nope

@abjm0325 that sucks; I'm sorry BFN hit you hard. How's your head today? Also, wtf is with your weather? I definitely don't miss the east coast weather. No Siree Bob!

CD/DPO: 17/2

Timing: -2, -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: I control it with progesterone! Muahahahahaha. 

Testing: don't know yet

R/R: Okay, I've never had so much sex in the span of 2 weeks. Lol. Yesterday around 1:30pm, MH pokes his head into my office and asks if I were on a call. And when I tell him know, he's like "you wanna go have sex?" I really do appreciate how "into it" he was this final "hail Mary" cycle. But in the evening he admitted that if he were to ejaculate, it would be sawdust. Lol. 

CS/Q: I added my chart in spoiler but I don't really BBT so it's kinda empty. But you can see all of the sex that I've been having! Hahahaha.

@abjm0325 hugs lady, don’t feel like a downer, if we don’t have a place to express the very real and VERY understandable disappointment that comes along with this process we will probably implode. 

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/2

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

Typical LP length: no clue

Testing: why are these tests just staring at me? Don’t let me touch them for at least another week! 😫 

R/R: Rant - wow wow wow so it’s been a long time since I wasn’t either on birth control or *TW LC and MC* pregnant or recovering from a loss and what the HELL the post-O EMOTIONS are SO REAL. I was elated all last week and spent most of yesterday pissed off or weeping for pretty much no reason. YIKES. Okay one reason to actually be pissed is my friend flaked on me AGAIN and I tend to be extremely understanding as I know life happens but she does this to me allllll the time and it really starts to hurt and then I get mad at myself for being disappointed. 

Rave - as I was so grouchy yesterday and I feel like this TWW is going to be long as hell I convinced my husband we should buy a Nintendo switch to distract me 🤣

CS/Q: not now

@acleverusername It was 80 on Wednesday, so definitely a WTF weather week. Also definitely laughed out loud to that sawdust comment. Way to give it your all! *Edited to add* My head is better today, but I'm glad to be able to work from home to stay in comfy clothes and take a break for a nap. 

@mamafox14 You should buy a Switch! And get Kirby. It is adorable and fun.

@mamafox14 good luck with your TWW in a while! Hopefully you won't need to get through too many of these.

@abjm0325 Wow... that weather is GROSS and very reminiscent of what I was used to in Eastern Canada. I hope it doesn't last! Also, I'm here for the humor. I'm thinking of having a standup routine about TTC at some point.

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: O, +1

Typical LP length: 14-16ish

Testing: Next week

R/R: So over this week. Feeling mentally and physically drained. I really want to have a glass of wine tonight but being sick, it's probably not a good idea. Trying to think of things to do to be indulgent while DH has to work. I have a lot that I *should* be doing but I have a strong inkling that I need to take some time for myself because burnout.

CS/Q: Feeling so annoyed about this cycle for some reason. I tried to remove the manual override in FF but then it took away my crosshairs, so I put it back.

mrsmtothek

@abjm0325 I'm so sorry. The BFN is *definitely* rude considering all of that. Try to do something indulgent for yourself today.

@acleverusername My DH absolutely loves O time for this reason lol FX for the hail mary!!

@mamafox14 I also get super cranky during TWW! The whole thing is so anxiety inducing.
