Timing: -4, -3, -1

Typical LP Length: 13

Testing: Going to hold out until Sunday

R/R: Going and getting my progesterone test today since the office is closed tomorrow (7dpo). FX that the usual nurse for BW is there because she always gets my tiny veins the first time.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? We found an a 6-legged end table at antique store and got it for $40. When I looked it up on ebay they were going for over $150.

RVAmom315 · July 2017

@KariAnn323 GL with getting the BW done today!

I go here now!

Month/Cycle 11/11

Testing: July 16

R/R I'm off today! I'll have to find something productive to do lol

CSQ

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? Does DH count?!

Probably our dining room table. I got it on wayfair and it was on sale plus I had a coupon so I got it for $350... I looked about a month later and it was on there for over $1000! What?!

mamasaurus12415 · July 2017

Good morning! I'm sorry for disappearing over the weekend. I decided it would be best for me to unplug for a couple days.

@KariAnn323 I hope you get the nurse you like!

@RVAmom315 Yay for having Monday off!

Month/cycle: 10/4

CD/DPO: 31/13

Timing: -1

Typical LP Length: TBD

Testing: 9 DPO & 12 DPO; both BFN

R/R: I still haven't heard from my pharmacy as to whether they've filled my Clomid prescription, so I'm getting nervous that it won't be here in time for CD 3. Also, MH and I watched A Cure for Wellness last night and I woke up several times feeling absolutely nauseated because I kept thinking about one particular scene.

CS/Q: My temp went up this morning when I expected it to go down.

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find?
A $100 pair of jeans I found at Marshall's for $40. They're my favorite pair of jeans because they fit so well, aside from the length. I'm really short so most pants are too long for my legs.

muggle621 · July 2017

@KariAnn323 I hope you get the good nurse and good results!!!

@RVAmom315 I'm so jealous you are off! I hope you get some good chill time in too!

@mamasaurus12415 I hope you get your Clomid in soon! I'm also making a note not to watch a Cure for Wellness

Month/cycle: 6/7

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing:O, +1

Typical LP Length: 14ish

Testing: *Trying* to hold out until Friday but I doubt I will make it

R/R:I got my progesterone tested Saturday and should find out the results today. I feel pretty good about it since my temps continue to be elevated.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? My cat lol. When I adopted her 9 years ago she was already declawed and overweight so I've never had an issue with her clawing furniture and getting on counters. She is down 4 pounds so still overweight but the doctor said she's very healthy!

fishsticks-n-custard · July 2017

@KariAnn323 Good luck with blood work! FX for a good stick!
@RVAmom315 I have the day off too. What are your plans?
@mamasaurus12415 Ugh about the clomid. Will the pharmacy be closed tomorrow?

Month/cycle: 5/2

CD/DPO: 26/1

Timing: -3,-1, O

Typical LP Length: ? (TBD)

Testing: Hopefully I can hold out until 12 DPO. But FF is telling me to wait until 18 DPO. I so don't have the personal resolve for that.

R/R: Watched Central Intelligence last night. It was decently funny! I'm off but DH is working so I'm going to go shopping.

CS/Q: Not at the moment.

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? I found a first edition by one of my favorite authors (CS Lewis) at a garage sale one time. I picked it up for $1. I didn't want to rip the person off so I told them what it was but they still only wanted a dollar for it. Said they were happy to pass it on to a fan!

RVAmom315 · July 2017

@fishsticks-n-custard I loved Central Intelligence! I'm not sure what we're going to do yet - TW DH is working so it's just me and DS End TW. What about you?

mamasaurus12415 · July 2017

@muggle621 Thank you! As long as I get it on time, I'll be happy. I'm glad I called last week and not the day before I needed it because procrastinating is totally something I do and it could have been really disappointing for me this time! Also, the movie was good, just really incredibly disturbing in a few instances. I'm also pretty squeamish about things, you might not be!

@fishsticks-n-custard I think they'll be open tomorrow! Though maybe I'll go there today and see what's going on.

Just a PSA for everyone:
MH is in the cyber security field, so he's super careful about passwords, etc. Well, he's home with me today and he was just standing over my shoulder when I signed in. He noticed my username and PASSWORD in the address/URL bar at the top of my browser. It even said password=___________. He seemed to think that it's because I had it set to remember my password. But he suggested I change it and change my password anywhere else I might have used the same password. I don't know if any of you are also having this happen, but I just wanted to tell everyone to check and be careful!

ajsanders-2 · July 2017

Made a boo boo last week...now I belong here! haha. Note to self: make sure you are actually in the post you want to reply to, and not one you were previously reading.

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 14/+2

Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP Length: 13-14

Testing: Hoping to hold out until the 15th...but we shall see how that goes.

R/R: Today is my youngest sisters 21st birthday, so I think we plan on going out to dinner, and then having a relaxing 4th of July! Yesterday I got a nice surprise of my other sister came up from Chicago, and didn't tell us! Which was just what I needed!

CS/Q: None at the moment

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? I would consider my best find would be a salt lamp! I had been looking for a nice one that I really like for months, and finally found one a few months back that's just perfect for my desk at work!

Avrilmai · July 2017

Month/cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 23/6

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

Typical LP Length: 13-15

Testing: I'm in the "no" camp right now

R/R: ugh, the lady working the counter at the coffee shop in the hospital literally made a call to sephora...on speakerphone, while I was finishing my order. Such a pet peeve of mine. You work in customer service, you need to focus on the customer. Rave: working a short day today and then off tomorrow. More time with the DH!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find?
I'm not much of an antiquer (is that spelled right?), but I did get a dress for my office Christmas party last year for $6. I was so proud. I told like 10 people.

@KariAnn323 GL with the blood work. I have tiny veins too and I always try to casually mention it to the person taking my blood. (I'm sure it doesn't come out as casual as it sounds in my head)

@RVAmom315 enjoy your day off. I'm sure You can make a case for anything being "productive" it's all in the mindset

@mamasaurus12415 sorry about the bfn, can the temp rise be a result of the disrupted sleep? And thanks for the tip about passwords. I will definitely check

@muggle621 hope the test results are good

@fishsticks-n-custard what a great find and awesome that the seller just wanted it to have a good/appreciative home

vflux33 · July 2017

@KariAnn323 GL with the progesterone test! Do you know how long it will take to get the results?

@RVAmom315 Welcome to TWW!

@mamasaurus12415 I hope you don't end up needing the Clomid at all because of that temp rise! Maybe they are holding off until they know you of sure need it because of the shortage? IDK how much they know about your situation/cycle. I'd def call again if and when you get AF. FYI I didn't get my Clomid early--it was never even ordered by my RE until CD 1.

@muggle621 GL with your progesterone test results! Please report back! Also I love that you put your cat on a diet. Can we get before and after pictures pleeeeeease?

@fishsticks-n-custard That's a really good deal! I have one first edition but it's by Donald Barthelme, who I love, but he's not super famous like C.S. Lewis.

@Avrilmai That definitely would have pissed me off too. Did she get your order right at least? Enjoy your time off! We're off too and I'm excited.

Month/cycle: 16/13

CD/DPO: 28/12

Timing: -3, IUI, IUI O, +1

Typical LP Length: 14-16 days

Testing: Wednesday

R/R: Not much going on here, just trying really hard not to over bump (you can tell how well that's working out).

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? I once found an antique trunk listed by an old lady on Nextdoor (the site) for 100 bucks--it's from the 1800s and these things typically go for way more than that even at consignment and thrift stores. When we went to her house to get it, she was like, oh I also have this other one, and that was also for 100, and it was in even better shape! We had always wanted an antique trunk and now we have 2. Now where to put them is another story... hopefully next time we move they'll find a better home in our home, right now they are just kinda hanging out in random spots.

charlestonchew · July 2017

Month/cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -5,-3,-1,0,+1

Typical LP Length: 10-12

Testing: All wondfos I took yesterday had a faint line. Temp dropped today and I took one more wondfo and it was negative. So I guess this means my new batch are going to give me visible evaps often? Fantastic.

R/R: In a horrible mood today now. Cycling between weepy and angry.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find?
My bed we ordered online. It was cheap and memory foam and the frame is made so you don't need a box spring.

vflux33 · July 2017

@charlestonchew I'm sorry.

I was feeling super hopeful for you. You're not out yet, but I'm sorry those dumb lines are playing with your emotions.

LazyCrane · July 2017

Just peeking in since I should be here soon.

@mamasaurus12415, my pharmacy (walgreens) had clomid back ordered for several weeks when I was trying to get it for this cycle. I transferred my prescription and was able to get it in an hour at a different pharmacy. It might be worth making some calls if it gets down to the wire.

vflux33 · July 2017

@mamasaurus12415 It was over 3 weeks ago so may have changed, but I had no back orders or delays for my Clomid and I used Costco.

jsnakehole · July 2017

Month/cycle: 6/2 (most of my cycles were benched)

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: -5, -4, -3

Typical LP Length: 12-15

Testing: On the 14th, since AF is due the 13th. Waiting is killing me. I'm pretty much having a staredown with the FRER in my bathroom cabinet.

R/R: My cycles have been a little unpredictable, and I wasn't temping because I wasn't expecting DH to be home for this cycle (I also sucked at temping consistently). I know it's a shot in the dark (word play/euphemism?) that we were successful this cycle, but we'll see. I'm going totally BSC with symptom spotting. My mantra (You're not pregnant, just gassy) has been helpful.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? I can't take full credit for this, but I did give the go ahead on it- my husband found an antique desk on Craigslist for $350 when I first moved in with him and needed a place to do my work. It has to be from the 40s/50s, and has a gorgeous leather top. It's gorgeous and I love it.

@KariAnn323 good luck!
@RVAmom315 Welcome, and enjoy your day off!
@mamasaurus12415 Everyone needs a break once in a while. FX your pharmacy comes through! Also, I love Marshall's. I just got a really cute basket to put my dog's toys in for $4 from there.
@muggle621 My cat is one of my best find's too. He's currently sitting on my windowsill, chirping at the birds he thinks he's hunting.
@fishsticks-n-custard You can do it! I also don't have any resolve, so I totally feel you.
@ajsanders-2 I might be sounding like a total dummy- but what's a salt lamp?
@Avrilmai I would have gone off. That's a pet peeve of mine too. I was trying to checkout at an ELF store the other day, and THREE workers were standing around talking about one of their outfits, so ringing me up took ten times longer than it needed to. So annoying.
@vflux33 I don't think there's such a thing as over-bumping. I feel like we're all friends, and there's no such thing as talking to friends too much.
@charlestonchew Like vfluxx33 said, you're not out just yet! I'll keep my FX for you.

KariAnn323 · July 2017

I'm on mobile so I'll come back later for tags and responses, but the normal nurse was there!

*insert your favorite happy dance gif*

It still hurt like a SOB and my hand stings if I move it too much but it's done! I didn't even cry so I stopped at Starbucks on my way back to work as a treat. I'm hoping for results on Wednesday but it might be longer because of the holiday tomorrow.

ajsanders-2 · July 2017

@jsnakehole - You are not a dummy! I've been told no question is a stupid question! I have a Himalayan Salt Lamp:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/sz/l9x5i6y2qmpn.jpg

^^ I love this thing! They help with so many different things, and I just love the ambient light it gives off!

I love ours too! MH calls it our sex lamp because he also likes the light, lol. It's plugged into one of our smart outlets and he can turn it on with his phone, so he often does that to test my mood. If I don't turn it right back off he's in!

multifariousmermaid · July 2017

@mamasaurus12415 thanks for the heads up! Can never be too careful with passwords and such.

@Avrilmai how rude! I don't get it when people do that. Just as a customer I try to end any phone conversations I'm having before I get to the checkout. I guess common courtesy isn't as common as it used to be...

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: CD19 DPO4 but I'm really not sure if this is accurate

Timing: Not good, hubby and I haven't had much time together lately +1

Typical LP Length: so far it's been 2 weeks if FF is accurate with my O date.

Testing: I don't plan on testing but FF says to on Friday the 14th.

R/R: I'm going backpacking this weekend with a friend and just can't wait! I haven't been in a long while so it's time!

CS/Q: I'm not sure I ovulated this cycle. FF doesn't seem to know for sure either. Here's my chart if anyone has any thoughts on it.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/9f/65qd63bb2w52.png

GTKY: What do you consider to be your best find? Boxes of washi tape at Michaels normally like $25 for only $10! And... maybe my husband too lol

SesshomaruMom · July 2017

Month/Cycle: 15/14

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: O

Typical LP: 15-16 days

Testing: Holding out for Saturday, when AF is due.

R/R: Having a lazy day thanks to the holiday tomorrow. Watching DH play video games; it's a hoot.

CS/Q:

GTKY: My DH! He's a total gem.

mamasaurus12415 · July 2017

@Avrilmai You know what, you're right. I didn't even think of that earlier but that's totally it! I didn't check the time when I woke up during the night but it was probably close to when I wake up to temp.

@vflux33 Thank you, but I took a test yesterday and it was negative, even though it was only 12 DPO I feel like it was right. In any case, my pharmacy actually called me today and told me they'll have it by Wednesday! My RE just wrote me a three month prescription for it back in April and this will be my second refill.

@LazyCrane Crisis averted! They'll have it in time. Since this was my first O, I have no idea when CD 1 will be but definitely soon.

@jsnakehole The worst thing they ever did was put Marshall's next to Target near me. I practically live in that plaza! Marshall's is the best... I have found some amazing things there.

@multifariousmermaid It's crazy how easily things get hacked these days. I'm probably too aware of it though because MH tells me scary things all the time since he knows from work. I'd also wait a few more days and see what your temp does to determine if you O'd. FX!

muggle621 · July 2017

@vflux33 Well you can't really tell she's lost weight!!! We just have to trust my vet's scale! Here is a belly pic

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/aw/19yeravq3whk.jpg

vflux33 · July 2017

@muggle621 Awwwwwww. That pic made my day! Thank you!

Avrilmai · July 2017

@vflux33 yes, it was a simple order (I was not being very healthy and ordered a pastry. FX so hard for you. Hoping you get to post somewhere else on Wednesday.

@charlestonchew so sorry you're having a rough day. Hugs.

@jsnakehole I'm just so excited that you're here in the TWW. I'm hoping the BSC/SS isn't too bad for you.

@multifariousmermaid I know what you mean, my sister told me I was "too nice" bc I put her on hold when I was paying for something and also because I thanked the cashier. How is being polite being too nice? As for your chart, I realize this may be a cop out, but have you posted it in the chart stalk thread? The ladies there are awesome at interpreting charts. How long are you cycles typically? You can also plug in some higher
temps for the next few days to see what FF does.

@muggle621 can we talk for a second about your dog in the background giving the cat total side eye. I love them both!

LazyCrane · July 2017

@multifariousmermaid, I would keep testing with OPKs and wait a few days. That looks a lot like my charts when I get a fake out surge...minus the actual positive OPK. If I was forced to pick a side, I'd guess you hadn't ovulated yet. Any sleep deprivation or drinking that could account for those higher temps?

KariAnn323 · July 2017

@RVAmom315 Hope you had an awesome day off! I love Wayfair. I got my comforter set for my guest bedroom from there.
@mamasaurus12415 It's important to unplug sometimes, don't worry about it.
@muggle621 FX for good test results! And your cat is adorable.
@fishsticks-n-custard I find FF's testing suggestions to be ridiculous.
@Avrilmai I LOVE a good deal on clothes! I found a coat once at a clothing consignment shop for like $13 and when I went online to check out the brand it was a $200 coat. The first time I met this nurse I flat out told her that 1. I hate needles and I'll probably cry and 2. I have tiny veins and the only good one is in my right hand. It actually went really well and so now whenever I need blood drawn I just tell them. Most of the time they're thankful because then they're not spending forever trying to find veins in my arms while I'm being all squirmy.
@vflux33 Oh those trunks sound so cool. I was hoping for results on Wednesday but it sounds like since the doctor is reviewing them instead of the NP (since I refuse to see her anymore) it might be Thursday or Friday. My appointment with him isn't until the end of the month, but they'll put the results on my patient portal along with information on the "normal range." He's also really good about calling and not waiting for the appointment if it's something very concerning.
@charlestonchew Lots of creepy internet hugs

multifariousmermaid · July 2017

@Avrilmai yes I did the other day but since my chart had changed I figured I'd post it in the TWW thread with my other information. I hope that's ok. They've been about 30-31 days since I started but i just started paying attention. Im that woman that walked into the dr. Office and when asked about my last cycle i shrugged and said a few weeks ago? Yeah that was me and I'm not proud.

@LazyCrane I don't drink anymore and I think I've been getting decent sleep for the most part but the last few nights I have woken up several hours before my alarm.

Thanks for your thoughts ladies
