Re: TWW Wednesday 11/8
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 27/3
Typical LP Length: not sure
Timing: nailed it
Testing: don't tempt me
R/R: Yay! Got my cross hairs! Happy that I actually O'ed this cycle and am here legitimately.
CS/Q: not much to see. Still finding my slow rise/sloping pattern very interesting. I started temping vaginally this cycle so everything looks so pretty and smooth.
GTKY: Who were you in high school?
Definitely the overachiever. You name it, I did it. Three seasons of sports, band, orchestra, chorus, student government, academic team, drama/musical....I honestly have no idea how I did it. Having just one extra curricular in my life now takes so much out of me.
CD: 23/9
Typical LP: 11 days
Timing: -1, O
Testing: Saturday
R/R: Department meeting this morning first thing, ugh. I’d rather just get to work!
CS/Q: Nope. My temp bounced back up this morning such that I now have a dip at 8 DPO, so I’m trying to let that give me some hope. (I have the opposite of BSC brain this cycle, I feel super pessimistic and sad most of the time...so I can afford to indulge in the BSC a little bit! I know dips usually don’t actually mean anything.)
GTKY: I was “quiet but sweet.” Very shy, huge bookworm, obsessed with Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, and member of a four person clique consisting of people who were, in retrospect, mean to me and really horrible friends. I spent a lot of time writing and worked as a shelver at the library where I now work as an adult!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 20/3
Typical LP Length: 14ish
Timing: very good
Testing: nope
R/R: day 6 in a row of work complete! Hair appt tomorrow and bookshelf project this weekend.
CS/Q: definitely paying close attention to every sound, feeling and ache from my body this month. Also just realized that my DH will be out of country for a work trip during peak FW. don’t think -5 counts as the only HIO next month. Kinda bummed about that.
GTKY: The good girl, always responsible one in group of friends. Tennis and editor of yearbook 2 years. Also had my first job right after 16 and kept it through college working during fall and summer breaks.
CD/DPO: 21/9
Typical LP Length: 10-12
Timing: I think good, starting to feel bad again at this time of the cycle, which happens every month.
Testing: BFN. I took a test TWICE yesterday. at 8 DPO. Ya'll, I need an intervention. Oh and I also took it again this morning.
R/R:
This is my mood cycle within my cycle -
CD 1 "OH SHIT I got my period" cries, wine, wine, chips.
CD 4 "You know what, I GOT THIS" hio a lot
CD 12-CD18 "omg I don't want to hio anymore but I can doooo it"
CD 19-21 "I feel so good about this cycle, this is my TIME"
CD 21-25 "I suck, I'll never get pregnant" wine wine wine
Repeat forever.
CS/Q: psht
GTKY: Who were you in high school? I was kind of a wannabe skater gurl. I wore the biggest widest pants and the teeniest ironic t-shirts from Value Village. I was secretly a church good girl who really didn't do much "wrong."
@Augusta108 Love your musical you! Sorry you had shit friends. I think we've all been there.
@And846 Hey DPO buddy! I am with you on the insane SS. Trying to calm down and not be BSC.
@mygoodlucycat Hang in there lady! Still early. I would recommend trying vaginally next cycle if you're still here. They have definitely smoothed out my temps as I am sometimes a mouth breather at night.
@Augusta108 Amazing how we put up with crap friends in high school because the fear of being a loner was so high! I would never be friends now with the people I was 'friends' with in high school - they were awful!
@And846 Boo for work getting in the way of HIO. FX this month is your lucky one and you won't need next month!
@mygoodlucycat I am right there with you on the POAS addiction - I have also been testing twice a day since 8dpo even though at this point I know it's a negative this month it's not going to stop me. I also have copious amounts of the cheap internet strips and tell myself (every month) I don't want them to go to waste and it's possible this month I'll get pregnant and then won't be able to use them all!
Month/Cycle: 8/13
CD/DPO: 27/11
Typical LP Length: I'm thinking it will end up being in the 12-13 day range now that I've been charting again.
Timing: really good
Testing: Another BFN - I know AF is coming but that won't stop me from POAS!
R/R: Rant: Ugh pain in the ass employees - I have an ex-employee of one of my families who is upset and wants to take on the whole system to rectify the injustices within. Good lucky buddy. Rave: Only two days of work to go this week for me. I can do this.
CS/Q: Temps are still diving. Hoping AF shows on time tomorrow.
GTKY: Who were you in high school? I was super lost in high school and a bit of a chameleon. I would adapt who I was depending which friends I was with that day and what their interests were. I definitely had a bit of a rebellious streak and a boy problem. And I spent a lot of time hiding how smart I was and trying not to let anyone know that I got ridiculously high grades without trying at all thanks to my eidetic memory. I am so thankful I never have to do high school again - teenagers are awful.
CD/DPO: 21/3
Typical LP Length: 10
Timing: pretty awesome I think!
Testing: Trying to hold out but...@mygoodlucycat I will also take a test at 8dpo because FAM setting on FF says I am like, 5 days DPO right now so I will justify it like that.
R/R: Rave: made some boss banana bread on try #2, and the gathering for this morning was cancelled so now I get to eat it! RANT: now I have banana bread in my house that has CHOCOLATE chips in it because I was trying to get the kids all excited about it. I, too, am excited about it but I mean, its not good for me.
CS/Q: nopers.
GTKY: Who were you in high school? Church girl. I spent upwards of 5 days a week at church between working there, volunteering, youth group, various fundraising dinners, band practice, etc, plus actual church on sundays. We had an awesome youth group.
@nimmle yay for crosshairs! Also I hear you on that extracurricular thing. As I have gotten older, it has been harder to stick with the same number of extra curriculars. Like, where did my time go?
@Augusta108 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, even though you are trying not to keep your hopes up!
@And846 don't think about next cycle yet! And I hope you have fun with your bookshelf project!
Also @And846 and @nimmle DPO buddies!
@SmashJam Yay for another DPO buddy! I just played with my settings and my O day is the same regardless of which one I pick. How the FAM setting is different than the advanced setting?
@nimmle yay for crosshairs! What is the connection between mouth breathing and oral temping, my friend said she stopped temping for that reason but I just assumed she meant she couldn't breathe if she tried to temp first thing in the morning, but does it actually eff up your temps? Do you have to clean it every day when you temp vaginally? I am admittedly lazy and do not clean mine every day after temping orally.

CD/DPO: 20/6
Typical LP Length: FF says 13 days average
Timing: -3.-2,-1
Testing:No. But I'm sort of considering CD 12 which is next Tuesday.
R/R: Rant: Trying to stop myself from day dreaming. I do this every TWW. I think about the due date, when we'd tell people etc etc Anyone else do this? Just sets myself up for disappointment. Rave: It's Wednesday, I have a half day Friday AND I'm not working this weekend. Yay!
CS/Q: None
GTKY: I was very shy, nerdy and unsure of myself. I'm not shy or unsure of myself anymore, but still nerdy.
@Augusta108 Sorry to hear you're feeling pessimistic. I feel like I swing back and forth between optimistic and pessimistic during the TWW>
@And846 I've also been trying to work around MH overseas travel. We were pretty much benched in Sept because he was on a trip. It is frustrating.
@mygoodlucycat I go through that same mood cycle every month!
@elolin Sorry to here about the BFN
@SmashJam When I first read your R/R I thought you wrote that your boss made banana bread and was thinking how nice! haha
@And846 sorry YH will be out of town, are you super regular because maybe your body will do something else next month and he will be around for the fw?
@mygoodlucycat lol I love the "wine, wine, chips" description of AF time.... it's so perfect. Sorry you're feeling down, but you're so early and you're not out until you're out. I'm trying to hold off until Monday for testing, if you want you can join me in the "Monday Challenge"... and anybody else is welcome to join!
@elolin sorry for the BFN. Also you have an eidetic memory?! That's so cool!
@jaylii I do the daydreaming too, it's so hard not to.
Month/Cycle: 4/3 (<-- totally didn't realize the month had changed)
CD/DPO: 28/8
Typical LP Length: 12-15 (I think closer to 12)
Timing: -4,-3,-1,+1
Testing: I almost caved and tested last night but talked myself down - that's a slippery POAS slope. Still trying to hold strong for Monday **Monday Challenge**
R/R: Rave: we get a 3 day weekend and then DH and I are jetting to Palm Springs next Friday so next week will only be a 3 day work week....this is really getting me through the week! Also we're going to see Rhys Darby and a few other comedians on Sunday so that should be hilarious.
CS/Q: None - I must say, not temping during the TWW has been liberating for me for this cycle, but it's a tad difficult not knowing what my temps are doing, especially as I hit the 8DPO mark today...
GTKY: Who were you in high school?
I was a dancer girl - always at the ballet studio... would go out and party sometimes, always a rule follower, all my friends always got exasperated because I hated breaking the rules. In fact, they didn't invite me when they did the senior prank, and when I confronted them they said it was because I would be too naggy about rules. I had to agree actually haha.
Edit: Just googled it and mashable has a fascinating article on the history of instant messaging. I used ICQ in high school. Oh man...
Month/cycle: 6/7 (1 benched)
CD/DPO: 22/5
Timing: pretty good
Typical LP Length: 13-14
Testing: no plans (1 liners stress me out)
R/R: Great run to start my day!
(Rant): @mygoodlucycat pretty much summed up exactly how I feel each cycle. And as @Augusta108 mentioned, I’m feeling fairly pessimistic at this point. Trying to find a balance between hopeful and realistic, but it’s hard because TTC is such an emotional rollercoaster at this point. I May be in and out of the dailies over the TWW because sometimes it is just too anxiety-producing, especially since PMS symptoms usually arrive early for me.
CS/Q: Has anyone done the 21 day progesterone test (aka 7dpo)? Did you get your results right away? If your results were low, did your doctor prescribe something for the current cycle or not to begin until the following one?
GTKY: Definitely overachiever like @nimmle! School council, sports, theater, & advanced classes.
Month/Cycle: 3/3(1/1 al)
CD/DPO: 29/13
Typical LP Length:??
Timing: Pretty good
Testing: BFN Monday so just waiting AF or I’ll retest Saturday
R/R: Yay for plumbers and a new toilet and kitchen faucet
CS/Q: Nothing
GTKY: Who were you in high school? I was the awkward teachers kid who hung out with the weirdos. I was also the sole target of our class bully and his crew. #smallschoolproblems

@canucklehead123 If I thought that I could do that, I totally would, but since I've started testing, I don't think I can stop...!
@nimmle I was the same way in HS, and I also cannot fathom that extreme involvement now.
@Augusta108 I loved Phantom! My siblings and I would re-enact it at home--my parents sat through long (sub-par) productions!
@And846 Yay for a hair appointment this week. I love having my hair washed and styled.
@mygoodlucycat You described my cycle moods to a T!
@elolin Sorry for the pain in the behind ex-employee, but yay for only two more work days this week.
@SmashJam Yum! Please share your banana bread recipe!
@jaylii As per your R/R, I used to do that all the time. I've tried to stop myself because I feel sad when another cycle comes to an end.
@canucklehead123 Stay strong on the testing, my friend. Also, what a wonderful trip to look forward to next week! (I also stopped temping after confirming the rise and it does feel nice).
@kindbytealikat I'm glad you got your toilet and sink fixed! We actually need to fix our sink, but have been dragging our feet.
@jaylii I definitely do the daydream every. single. month. It gets so frustrating because I have it all worked out in my head and then have to change everything. This month I had visions of telling people at Christmas...so much for that theory! And omg ICQ - it was totally my jam in high school!
@canucklehead123 I do! It's definitely not at strong as it once was but it drives MH bonkers because I remember everything so he doesn't get away with much. I have faith in you staying strong until Monday! I failed miserably at waiting this month (and every month to be fair).
@dukestar5 The TWW sucks. Especially when every month is another let down. I definitely feel way more jaded about each month as things go along - I always expect the BFN.
@kindbytealikat Woohoo for new plumbing fixtures! The things we get excited about as adults....!
