Timing: -4 (I said -5 yesterday, because apparently I can’t count properly.)
Testing: 8DPO only to drink. 11DPO if no AF after that.
R/R: I bought some new PNVs today, the last kind I used had too much iron, I think. Kept me bloated. Hopefully these are better (they have less). Also, I looked up my EDD for this cycle and it’s DH’s Birthday. I need to stop feeding the crazy
CS/Q: Really high temp today, probably due to poor sleep.
GTKY: If we were to have a holiday cookie exchange, what kind of cookies would you bake? If I’m feeling ambitious, I would make sugar cookies decorated like Santa. If I’m feelin lazy, I’d make No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal cookies.
@lalala2004 My temp is usually lower when I don't sleep well/as much, is that weird? Sugar cookies yummm.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/8
Typical LP Length: 12-13
Timing: -5, -3, -2, O
Testing: Still holding strong for 12/1
R/R: Having lunch with an old coworker who I really like today at this yummy salad place, so excited for that. Not happy with myself that I still haven't finished this brief I have been working on on and off forever and want so badly to be done with (and it needs to be filed next week so I will HAVE to be done with it soon), other more urgent work keeps popping up so I am not really slacking, but I am just sick of it hanging over my head.
CS/Q: Nah, temp still up but it's too early for it to drop so its pretty meaningless.
GTKY: If we were to have a holiday cookie exchange, what kind of cookies would you bake? Oof, I really do not bake often. I have had success in the past with cake mix cookies, so I'll go with that.

Testing: 12/1 although the urge was strong to test this morning. The only thing that stopped me was not wanting to feel like crap all day if it was negative.
R/R: DH told his brother we were currently trying so my SIL keeps texting me and asking me when I'm going to test. She is due in March so really wants to be pregnant together. I don't want to be rude but seriously f*** off. DH now knows to STFU.
CS/Q: None

@lalala2004 Glad I'm not the only one that looks up what the due date would be. I always feel like if it's a special day that it's meant to be.
@legallykate I thought about you when I wanted to test this morning! Must wait until 12/1. I also hate the feeling of having something hanging over my head. You are just never fully at ease. Hopefully the rest of the brief goes smoothly and quickly for you!

@eleven_ I am glad you held strong! We also have a work happy hour planned for Friday now so all the more reason for that to be the test date. I will console myself with a glass of bubbly if I get a BFN. That is super annoying about your SIL, it is cute that she wants to overlap but come on, TTC is stressful enough without anyone haranguing you to POAS.
@leafyarch FX about the house! Will you hire movers or DIY?

Testing: WFAF, temp has been dropping (not below cover, but dropping) the last three days. Feel like I'm out.
R/R: So I looked up the planner for the next few cycles and for the next cycle, test day would be Christmas AND EDD would be our dating anniversary. Geez, no pressure there! that should teach me to look ahead!
CS/Q: I gots nothing.
GTKY: If we were to have a holiday cookie exchange, what kind of cookies would you bake? Snowflake sugar cookies and lemon thyme spritz cookies.
@lalala2004 - i actually have PNV for now without iron bc of the bloat issue. hope the new ones help! and I'm right there with you in the crazy boat.
@legallykate - enjoy your lunch today! i like your plan for friday, too. AF is due friday here so I'm guessing there'll be some wine flowing my way as well.
@leafyarch - good luck with the house! hope you hear today!
@eleven_ - and they say we ladies gossip. Smack! Yeah, it's sweet of your SIL to want to do this together, but not cool, dude.
@catlady2015 I would have gone without iron, but last time I gave blood the said my iron level was really good, and I assumed it was because I was taking the vitamin, so I didn’t want to cut it out completely. Plus I’m now taking the highest rated quality PNVs on Lab Door (Garden of Life). I’m also giving up my banana addiction for now.
@lalala2004 I was wondering if I was the only east coaster in the TWW right now, and I started yesterdays thread so I didn't want to start today again. Thanks for starting it up. Which PNV did you start taking? Hope they work for you.
@legallykate Hope that you have an awesome lunch today. And GL getting that brief handled! I also don't like things looming, I like to get them done quickly.
@eleven_ Oh no! Sorry that YH spilled the beans. Sigh....here's hoping that SIL will get the message and back off with all the questions soon.
@catlady2015 Oh man those cookies sound good! I am a sucker for lemon cookies. I have looked ahead at EDD and test dates before. It can be hard on the head. But how wonderful too. FX for you! You aren't out until you are out.
Month/Cycle: 6/6 (1 benched)

R/R: I went in for 7dpo BW today and apparently in order to get AMH tested I have to be referred by an RE. WT??? My family doctor didn't know this and I can't get in to see an RE for another 6 months. Just seems a little crazy to me. Oh well.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Honestly not huge on the cookie baking front, but I would go with a chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie. Love those.
*wave* Hi guise!!!! Still floating around so tag! Also NOM! COOKIES!!!! I don't bake cookies often, but when I do I typically do classic chocolate chip cookies, or the peanut butter cookies with the Hershey kiss in the middle
@lalala2004 good luck not feeding the crazy What kind of sugar cookies do you make? I like the soft/chewy kind, not the thin crunchy ones.
@legallykate Have fun at lunch today! Hope you get that brief done once and for all
@leafyarch FX you hear back on the house soon! That's exciting
@eleven_ Good job holding out on testing! Ugh so sorry to hear about your SIL driving you bonkers.
@catlady2015 Haha, that's one of the reasons I tend not to look ahead too far Ooo... lemon thyme cookies sound really interesting and good.
@nitnat007 Blegh that's annoying about the bloodwork. Why wouldn't your GP be able to order AMH? Weird.

@nitnat007 Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal. It sure is a long name....lol. I’m CST, but I also wake up obnoxiously early in the morning. I didn’t want to start it until I thought of a GTKY. Not always easy early in the morning!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I like them a little crunchy, myself! But I know not everyone does so I tend to make a mixed batch.
Typical LP Length: not 100% sure. One app says 13 days, which sounds normal and right, but FF says 9 days, which seems too short. I think I just messed something up in FF last time around.
Timing: Meh. -6, -4, -1
Testing: I have a bunch of tests to use up so I will probably start at 8DPO, just to use them before they expire.
R/R: I think I'm finally getting the hang of FF. I've been using two apps because FF is so overwhelming, but now I think using two apps is just creating more confusion for me because they never say the same thing. I had to discard a wonky temp but when I did that, I finally got crosshairs! Hooray for my first CHs.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If we were to have a holiday cookie exchange, what kind of cookies would you bake? Lemon Crinkle! I found a recipe on pinterest and every time I make it I get tons of rave reviews. Or maybe gingerbread. Yum. I need a cookie.
@catlady2015 Lemon thyme spritz cookies sound amazing! I’m
not really familiar with charting yet so I don’t know about the temp drop, but
I hope it doesn’t mean you are out
@nitnat007 Sorry about having to wait to get your AMH
tested. I hate all the hoops that doctors make us go through.
@lalala2004 I cannot decorate full size cookies to save my life @legallykate Cant go wrong with cake box cookies they are so yummy and easy. @leafyarch Eck I hope you hear something soon and it’s good news. @catlady2015 Lemon Thyme spritz sound interesting I’ve always done butter and added flavors like mint, orange and my favorite almond I think I’ve done lemon but not with Thyme

Typical LP Length: FF says 11, idk though
Timing: My CH's got moved today so Meh -5,-3, O
Testing: Going to try and hold out until the 9th but probably the 6th
R/R: Rant-Blasted headache today and I'm just grouchy all around. Rave-Can't think of one at the moment TBH hints the poor mood
CS/Q: I'm not surprised my CHs changed, I expected it honestly. Nonetheless i'm crazy frustrated about it though. The past two months something has come up during peak -2,-1 day and we haven't been able to get things accomplished, and DH won't just suck it up and do it. I know we're not completely out with our timing but I'm not to hopeful about it.
GTKY: If we were to have a holiday cookie exchange, what kind of cookies would you bake? Every year I make cookies for my doctors office, dentist and DS's Peds office. I always do butter spritz shaped/decorated in various Christmas designs and then I try a new cookie almost every year. Last year I did chocolate mint cookies topped with an Andes mint. I haven't decided what I'm doing this year but I'm thinking something simple so maybe cake box cookies(thanks @legallykate for the idea) and use red velvet and coat them in powder sugar. Or a red velvet crinkle.
