Re: TWW w/o Mar 27
CD/DPO: CD17/4DPO
Timing: O-4; O-3; O
Typical LP length: 11
Testing: Gonna try to hold out until 10/11 DPO. WE shall see
R/R: Need to get to spring cleaning but I feel like I can barely keep up with normal chores as it is.
CS/Q: Got crosshairs this morning. Gave me O day on positive OPK day. So that's interesting. I've seen it a few times on reddit that it's happened. We shall see what comes of it.PG #2: EDD 8/15/23 Miscarried 9w1d 1/11/23
PG #3: EDD 12/15/23
CD/DPO: CD 33, 8DPO
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: No idea, but a “normal” cycle for me is 36 days.
Testing: We’ll see…we always at least wait until after my “predicted” start date, so starting there and then talking to my husband to see what he thinks because we always look at the tests together.
R/R: Hoping this week will be a good distraction while I wait to either start a new cycle or not. 😬 We’re down in FL for the week, so I’m hoping that being here will keep my mind off of the two week wait.
CS/Q: Nothing at the moment.Month/Cycle: 21 since we started trying, 7 back TTC after some time off for loss/bench/etc
CD/DPO: CD22/4DPO
Timing: -2, 0
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: I will probably wait for my period this cycle, not feeling overly optimistic and I’m out of cheap tests
R/R: This cycle has been so weird, had all the O signs and positive OPK around CD11-12 when I normally do, but no shift until CD19. Not exactly sure what happened there. The acupuncture doc says she thinks I ovulated earlier and the shift was delayed, but I’m not so sure. In any case, I made it to the TWW this month. Not holding out a ton of hope that this will result in pregnancy, but I guess you never know.
CS/Q:CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -4
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: Well I was in the ER yesterday and they gave me a test, which was obviously negative. I’ll probably test at 10 or 11 DPO
R/R: After 6 days of being sick, I got really bad yesterday and had to go to the ER. Turns out I didn’t even have an infection anymore, but had just gotten really dehydrated. So I got pumped full of fluids and now I feel great today!
CS/Q:CD/DPO: 15/1
Timing: O-1, O, O+1
Typical LP length: 11-13 days
Testing: I learned the hard way last cycle: DO NOT TEST UNTIL 14 DPO. Knew better, did it anyway. Hoping to avoid a repeat this time around.
R/R: Why am I always ovulating in the middle of the week lately? Trying is so much easier on the weekends!
CS/Q: None yet.@britters314 Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear of your nasty and very unwanted detour to the hospital. So glad you're feeling better now!
@stashattack It definitely happens! I've sometimes ovulated on the second day in the row that I've had a positive OPK test. That's what happened this cycle, in fact. My LH levels peaked on Monday, but were still high enough to register a positive OPK result on Tuesday, which is the day I ovulated. FX for you!
@maggiemadeit Interesting. Some women get multiple LH peaks in one cycle, but I see that your OPKs were negative at the time your chart says you ovulated. Did you get a line that was just shy of positive? In a couple of my cycles, I've had my test lines fall just shy of "positive" (i.e., as dark as the control line) but still ovulated.
@geekprincess26 I am with you on avoiding the early testing torture! I always do it and then I spend the last few days of my cycle squinting and disappointed or overly excited about an evap line and then disappointed. Not doing it this month!
