Sorry for the wonky spacing on this...

Month/Cycle: 16/1AL

CD/DPO: 15/3

Timing: -2, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: holding off as long as possible, but we'll see how that goes..

R/R: Today is the only day this week that my boss is in the office, so I have to make myself look busy lol. Also, the end of this cycle is going to be a doozy because of vacation. I will either have AF or have just gotten a BFP as we are getting ready to leave for vacation. I guess it's a good thing that my family knows what's been going on or it might be super suspicious if I don't drink on vacation.. I'm going to try my hardest not to worry about that now though! 

CS/Q:

@tessiesmom26 Haha, good luck looking busy. I know it’s hard not to stress about it, but the good thing is no matter what you have vacation to look forward to at the end of the cycle!

Month/Cycle: 8/8 AL

CD/DPO: 15/1

Timing: good

Typical LP length: If last cycle is any indication, probably 10,000 days

Testing: Around 12 DPO to see if I need to stop progesterone

R/R: If stress isn’t good for TTC, there is no possible way I am getting KU this cycle. Sigh. On the plus side, the sun is shining today and I’m going to make myself take time for a walk.

CS/Q: Nope

caseys02

@abjm0325 Right! Some weeks I'm just like well this is f*cked.  Can you take a mental break during lunch and destress a little bit or write down what is stressing you out? IDK why but I just started writing down what has been making me anxious and it's been helping lower the feeling. (brene brown and my pcp and group therapy all said it's good for you and helps but I don't know the research on it) 

Month/Cycle: 6/6 (honestly I don't know anymore)

CD/DPO: 23 / 10

Timing: -1, -2

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Maybe Friday depending on how I feel. 

R/R: My boss is in an all day off site meeting, so I'm the boss which means I'll be hiding in my office listening to podcasts. 

CS/Q: nada

annanbby

I’m on my phone so I’m struggling today lol don’t mind me.

@tessiesmom26 I’ll be going on a trip the end of this cycle too. Either way, we have some fun to look forward to, right?

@abjm0325 sorry for the stress. I worry about stressing too, which causes stress, ohhh the vicious cycle.

@caseys02 lol! I love that. Enjoy your boss-free day!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -3, O

Typical LP length: 15 days

Testing: Probably Monday? If I can hold off longer I will lol

R/R: I had to bring my car in for an oil change this morning, but I didn’t bring my laptop with me to start work here thinking that it would be quick cause I’m one of the first appointments today. I asked how long it would take….an hour and a half….I’m gonna be starting work so late 😑

CS/Q: I had some spotting this morning again and also had a little cramping the last few days. This is the second or third cycle since TTC that that’s happened, and I have no idea why. I’ve never had spotting mid-cycle like this before, so I’m gonna send an email to my doctor this morning and see if we can figure out what’s going on. It’s too early for implantation, so I’m a little concerned that this is happening again. 

caseys02

@annanbby I always spot usually starting 1 week prior to AF. I have been told many things, I was on BC for 8 years, age and getting older, progesterone is low, ovulation bleeding. Nothing I have done besides getting pregnant has stopped the spotting.  And yuck on the oil change and no laptop. 

@tessiesmom26 I hope you can "stay busy" I know those days. Also I hope your vacation is enjoyable no matter what. Are you going anywhere fun? We're going to OKC in May, for this years state so trying to find some fun things to do while we're there. 

annanbby

@caseys02 ahh yes, I was wondering if it were age or progesterone related. I emailed my doctor, so we’ll see if he wants to do anything about it. And yep, still here just waiting 😑

tessiesmom26

@abjm0325 I hope you get time for that walk! Any self care is great!
@caseys02 We're going to Jacksonville FL to visit family. We will also be doing two days at Universal while down there. We've been looking forward to it since booking in early Jan so I am so excited it's finally here! What podcasts do you listen to? I'm a huge true crime podcast fan, but I am always looking for new ones!
@annanbby Boo to not having your laptop but yay to delaying work a bit? Has to be a bright side right? 

caseys02

@tessiesmom26 So I listen to Was I in a Cult and American Scandal regularly. I'm searching for new ones always though. And enjoy Florida! I have friends at Universal this week and are loving it. 

annanbby

@tessiesmom26 well I have to work my full hours regardless of when I clock in, so it just means I have to work way later today than usual. And we had dinner plans. lol AND the dealership decided my car needs $1,000 worth of work cause I hit a certain milage. It's just bad all around. lol don't mind me being a negative Nancy over here today.

abjm0325

@caseys02 Enjoy your podcasts! Part of my stress right now is just waiting for information, but once I have all of the information writing everything down might be a good idea.

@annanbby Ugh, sorry for the delayed start to work and cost of repairs. And for the mid-cycle spotting. When it rains, it pours.
