Timing/Testing/CS: 

How are things going? Any questions?: Well, I didn’t have to wait long for CD1. It has been rough too. Very crampy and much heavier bleeding. I’m bummed that last cycle ended the way it did. 

R/R: Easter was a fun day. We spent it with close friends and it reminded me of being with family as a kid. Lots of people and nonstop stuff going on all around. We checked out a new bee hive and tapped some trees to make some syrup later this summer. I was exhausted by the time we got home.

WAYDTGKU (BD/TI/IVF/FET/Benched/etc.): Waiting for match for embryo adoption

WTO/TWW: TWW (10dpo)

Timing/Testing/CS: -2, 0. I’ll only test if AF is late 

How are things going? Any questions?: I was really hoping for another match before the holidays, but that didn’t happen. I’m also SS like crazy even though it’d be crazy to get pregnant on my own after all this. I would just test but I don’t have any cheapies on hand and don’t want to waste the more expensive tests

R/R: My sister is in the ER with a probably kidney stone and she just had surgery a few days ago. My mom has been staying with her to help out after the surgery so at least she isn’t on her own, but any thoughts/prayers for her would be great!

@britters314 I have been using wondfos and FRER. I think I’m done with the FRER. They are not reliable. So I’m done wasting money on them. I’ll be praying for your sister. I hope everything goes smoothly for her.

@britters314 Praying for your sister and for your mom to know how to help her.

Timing/Testing/CS: Waiting for OPKs until the weekend, should O early next week based on past cycles. Trying not to over-analyze every tiny thing like I usually do. 

How are things going? Any questions?: Anyone ever used a Tempdrop monitor? I got one from Poshmark but now I’m seeing some people complaining that there is a delayed temp shift compared to oral temperatures. I have really disrupted sleep and have a hard time taking my temps consistently, especially with needing three consecutive hours of sleep beforehand, which doesn’t really happen.

@emeraldcity603 Sorry to hear about your rough CD1, hope you can get some rest and feel better. 

@britters314 Will say a prayer for your sister.

Timing/Testing/CS: Currently on CD 12, waiting to get an LH peak

How are things going? Any questions?: Things are ok, I'm thinking our timing will be good as long as peak happens by Friday. Usually it would be today but my LH is rising a little slow this time. My CM is crazy right now so I'm hoping it all comes together tomorrow. (Pun totally not intended but now that it's there I'm leaving it 🤣🤦😘)

R/R: None

@aloha_mama I have used Tempdrop since 2017. I love it. I have the newest version. It has an easier battery change function. I just started using it this past January for the first time in almost 2 years. I really didn’t need it at one point and then when I got my cycles back I was just being lazy and tracking mucus only. I have noticed a slight delay but if you’re tracking mucus it shouldn’t matter. You will just have a peak day DPO count and temp shift count. When I used to use a regular BBT I typically had a 3 day delay of my shift. So for me, it’s not a big deal. The convenience of it makes the delay a non issue for me. 

@ferret22 I hate waiting for a peak LH. I don’t know why but I stress about when it will finally come.

Timing/Testing/CS: Just doing the Inito thing. I'm CD11 and still low fertility. Usually I get a high by this point.

How are things going? Any questions?: N/A

R/R: I'm back to work today after about 10 days off. It was tough getting out of bed this morning but I am happy to be back into a routine.
