Re: TWW Tuesday 9/26
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (Rollover....womp)
CD/DPO: Too scared I'll lose my post if I switch over to FF & look.
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: Not feelin' it.
R/R: I'm loving my pumpkin shakes in the morning! I need to finish laundry this evening. And put them final coat of sealer in our bathroom cabinents. And prep dinner for tomorrow.
CD/Q: Nope.
GTKY: Sir Furry McMittens (my favorite color isn't on there, so I chose my other one).
CD/DPO: CD20/DPO? (I think 6?)
Timing: -1, -2
Testing: Not yet. Going to try this coming weekend, which feels like it's in a million zillion years.
R/R: I had a job interview yesterday and got asked to come back for a second interview pretty much right afterward! That was exciting. Unfortunately they also told me the salary, which is the same as I make now (I was hoping for more). But it would be an upgrade in many other ways. !!
CD/Q: None.
GTKY: Chancellor Bossy McMittens!! Such a regal cat name!
--------------------------------
LO arrived 11/9/2018! We have a baby!
--------------------------------
Me: 33 | DH: 41
Married: March 2016
TTC #1/IUD out January 2017
PCOS dx January 2018
Medicated cycle 2.5mg Letrozole CD3-7 February 2018
BFP 3/10/2018!
-------------------------------
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -2, -1
Testing: nope
Typical LP Length: 10-15
R/R: I had a good meeting with my director this morning! I actually wish I always reported directly to him. I have a ton going on at work right now, but not enough motivation. Also I am SO tired lately it's a struggle to get out of bed every morning.
GTKY: Sir Snuggly Bottom
@jrm_14 Sounds like it will be a productive evening! Also TB is being a B for me this morning too. Seems to be working now?
@diadem_l Good luck with the potential new job! Is it in your same field? What are other positives of it won't be a salary increase?
TTC December 2016
BFP 2/28/17 // CP 3/1/17
MFI Diagnosis: Aug 2017
BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18
TTC January 2019
BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
CD/DPO: cd27/10dpo
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0
Testing: Waiting until Saturday (14dpo) unless AF shows up
Typical LP Length: 14 days
R/R: This is Us returns tonight. I'm way too overly excited about this, and nervous at the same time. Once I watch it, I will have nothing to stop me from going BSC symptom spotting and googling all of the things. Even though my rave yesterday was that I know my body so well that I'm doing great this cycle, it's all lies.
GTKY: Count Fishy McPaws... Not sure that goes with our other 2 felines Marianas and Itsu, but I'm down for a 3rd cat, and this is as good of an excuse as any.
@diadem_l sounds like you're doing exactly what I am. I'm blessed to be pretty regular as far as cm and other symptoms go, but I'm worried that I'm going to get a weird cycle and kick myself for not temping. Also: Good luck with the interview! Sometimes the benefits of a new position outweigh the salary. Less stress or more fun would wonderful. Money would too though!
@jrm_14 Thanks for your heads up about TB being a turd. Made me open up the actual computer to prevent any issues.
@MrsMiller8588 I used to love reporting directly to the uppers at work. Sometimes middle management is such a drag. They get kind of complacent. At least in my experience. Hope you get some energy and motivation soon. I'm currently suffering from the same lack of "get-up-and-go." I have a to-do list similar to @jrm_14 and nothing is going to get done on it today. I'll be lucky to eat lunch.
CD/DPO: 10 dpo
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: Not sure, will probably be Monday unless AF arrives
Typical LP Length: 28 days
R/R: On nightshift at the moment, which is totally messing with everything! Worked 7a-7p on Sat and Sun night, work tried to guilt me into working last night, but I refused! Luckily husband looked after our 6 month old puppy yesterday so I slept 6 hours in the day, then 9 hours last night and feel alive again! Today it's just me and the puppy as husband works the next 48 hours and BS10 is with his dad tonight, doing some cleaning and being lazy!
GTKY: Judge Hissy McPaws, which should be my current cat (Zelda's) name - she has resting bitch face and always hisses and claws! My husband tells her she is lucky he loves me or she would be an outside cat! Fluffy our other cat (named by my son!) is the complete opposite and a scaredy kitty and always with my son - the two have a weird connection!
@diadem_I ~ FX for the new job! Hopefully there is room for growth in the salary department - but it sounds like you are happy on other aspects of it, even if its the same pay. Keep us updated if you get it!
@MrsMiller8588 ~ Was your director able to help with work motivation at all?
@br0co1ii ~ Everyone seems to LOVE that show. I never saw the first season, but I am thinking I need to see if I can find it and watch it, so I can see what all the fuss is about.
Month/Cycle: 2 (1AL)
CD/DPO: 18/7 (FF says 8dpo, but I still think its drunk, so I am going with my gut on dpo)
Timing: -1 on my timeline, O on FF's timeline
Testing: I am trying to convince myself NOT to test on Thursday (9dpo on my timeline/10dpo if we believe FF)
Typical LP Length: 12 days
R/R: I'm sick and *TW* so is DS *End TW* ~ I hate being sick and I am over it already. I am also irrationally worried being sick will negatively effect potential implantation.
GTKY: Emperor Snuggly Bottom
@br0co1ii ahh, This is Us! I just started watching it a few weeks ago and am not done with the first season, but now I'll have a new episode to look forward to when I'm done. enjoy!
@BurlapandLace feel better, being sick is no fun.
I'm just here to introduce myself as Princess Pouncey Von Scooper. I'll be joining y'all tomorrow!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD19 / DPO 4 or 5?
Timing: -4, -3, -1
Testing: I'm trying for the missed period before I test (which would be Oct 8) but I hiiiighly doubt I'll make it.
R/R: Am I the only one that's excited about that fact that although it's technically fall is still feels like summer!!!???
CD/Q: I know this group tends to recommend the Mabis thermometer, but Amazon actually has quite a few negative reviews re: it's accuracy. Have any of you had any issues or have found higher accuracy with other thermometers?
Also... I run and bike every day and find it EXTREMELY challenging to not drink water for 2-4 hours before OPK strip test. Has anyone cheated on this rule and still had success? Or are there other ways to test for O that don't require me to pass out from thirst???
GTKY: Dr. Fluffy McPaws will see you now...
CD/DPO 19/6
Timing - well the embryologist maybe helped out a bit ;-) Fertilization in vitro 20/09
Testing - beta is 6th October, but no way I will last until then. Will probably use an FRER on Tues 3rd as it's a public holiday so I have the day to recover...
R/R Work is crazy busy for me and DH. Trying not to SS every little twinge and dizzy spell. And the progesterone has made my boobs enormous (which for me is a rant but DH is pretty happy lol)
Rave - all the love from you guys over the last weeks especially. Right now today I am 4dp2dt!!! (And totally freaking out inside!)
CS/Q Here's my chart, though with all the drugs I'm not sure if it's trustworthy or not
GTKY Professor Sassy McMittens
Awesome GTKY @jrm_14 - and omg sounds like a busy evening ahead!!!
@wifehacks welcome! I drink water the whole day but just try to hold off peeing for 2 hours if I want to do an OPK during the day. I never had a problem to get a +be doing that, but O'ing is not my main issue
@darkstar42 yay to joining us tomorrow - and awesome GTKY answer :-)
@diadem_l good luck for the second interview
@burlapandlace get better soon!
@gene_genie If your normal LP is 28 days, how come you might test Monday if you're currently 10DPO? Or do you mean your whole cycle is normally 28 days?
@br0co1ii I fully support your logic to get a third cat!!!
@mrsmiller8588 I'm with you on being soooooo tired. It's no fun (and not very conducive to productive evenings!)

Fav Quote: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
@darkstar42. See you tomorrow, Princess!
@emmasemm. FX (still very tightly!) I forgot MH has softball, too, that I'll watch.
@wifehacks. I second @emmasemm. I drink water, just hold off going pee for a few hours.
@burlapandlace. A giant scoop of pumpkin puree (1/2c?), almond milk (1c?), squeeze if honey (1T?), couple shakes of cinnamon (1/2t?), and a glob of peanut butter (1-2T?). Shake & drink!
hahaha on the timing goals - not always the case with our jobs, so when we get the chance we make up for lost time!
CD/DPO: 31/11
Timing: Benched, doesn't matter
Testing: Nope
Typical LP Length: 12ish, just WFAF on Thursday/Friday
R/R: Rant: Work is crazy. We have several major meetings and trainings in the first two weeks of October, hard core crunch time! And I am away for an conference in the middle of it. Cool cool. Rave: I think next cycle I'll be off the bench! For now, I shall enjoy my glass of wine!
GTKY: Count Bossy McMittens. I don't have cats, but this makes me want to get one just to name him that!
@diadem_l good luck on your next interview. Health benefits are definitely a positive, especially when ttc.
@gene_genie I echo everyone else on timing goals! I also understand the crazy schedules and doing it when you can MH works noon-midnight Tuesday-Friday so our timing can be pretty interesting most months/weeks.
Month/Cycle: 10/9
CD/DPO: 34/14
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing: BFN yesterday, will test again if af doesn't show by Friday
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: I'm flying to MA tomorrow for 7 hours for work then coming home and had a ton to get done today. Of course driving to get my new Frye boots calves stretched I ran over a pocket knife (really?!?!) on the interstate and ended up replacing all four tires on my car (was about a month away from replacing anyway and just doing one seemed silly at this point). We also found out some stuff about MH sperm production yesterday which may make it harder to conceive right now. It has definitely been a rough, and expensive, day.
CS/Q: I got a new BBT today so I'm excited to start charting temp!
GTKY: Professor Kissy Bottom...haha the more I say it out loud the funnier it is.

Thanks @quiltandknit I get to see my favorite client tomorrow which will definitely help. It also means I will be really busy so I won't have average time to sit and stew. How much quilting do you do? I love to quilt, I wish I had more time for it.
Month/Cycle: unsure
CD/DPO: 39/18
Timing: also unsure
Testing: haven't tested yet. To be honest I'm scared. I've been trying 4 years with no success. I don't want the disappointment again.
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: neither rant nor rave. I'm waiting not so patiently on a load. (I'm a truck driver with my s/o)
CS/Q: unsure what this is
GTKY: I'm a truck driver with my s/o. Love crocheting. I'm planning on getting into sewing. When I get off of this truck I'm going to raise chickens and turkeys.
CD/DPO: CD 49/ 21 DPO
Timing: -3, -1 and 0
Testing: Tested on 19 DPO and got a BFN
Typical LP Length: Unsure
R/R:
GTKY: Doctor Bossy McClump
@countri_gurl_89 How are you confirming your O date? I think the longest an LP can be is 16 days, so you really should take a test if you're sure about your O date. I'm sure it's really hard to work yourself up to it since you've been trying for such a long time. GL to you!
@gimmiethebump Are you sure about your O date? How are you confirming it? I think it's really unusual to have an LP longer than 16 days, so it's really odd that you'd be at 21dpo and still getting negatives. Is it possible you haven't Oed yet or Oed later than you think?

@wifehacks and @jenben8888 Can you guys tell me more about this no water before OPKs? I'm super new to the OPK world and have just been doing it with my first morning urine (bc that's when my Clear Blue Fertility Monitor asks for it. Yes, I'm doing OPK sticks on top of the CBF because I'm crazy.) I'm asking because I drink so much water during the night - our apartment is super dry and husband has the window AC cranked up. I'm wondering if all that water is why I've never seen a positive OPK....
And while I'm here: Sir Fishy Von Scooper! Love it!!
@wifehacks That's awesome that you run & bike every day! Do you do triathlons as well? I also run a lot and find testing with OPKs challenging because of the suggestion to limit water intake 3 hours before.
@jenben8888 Good to hear that you have not noticed a difference. I need to experiment a little more. I usually only see one positive, so I'm always nervous I will miss it!
@LaceyBee522 Some OPKs recommend against testing with FMU, and instead suggest a time in the late morning or in the evening. I usually like to test 2x a day during the FW so that I do not miss it. However, if your CB monitor suggests fmu, then you may want to follow that recommendation and also try a second time during the day just in case. (I say the more data the better!)
(Sorry to bump yesterday's thread! Forgive me!
