R/R: I wanted to test this morning but resisted. Hope our accountability worked for you, too, @mrs_drc_rn ! I’m such a SS right now. Sore boobs, spotted some EWCM. Trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s hard.
CS/Q: -
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? U2 was on SNL and I was impressed with their new stuff. They are so good.
Testing: Started yesterday at 8 DPO (ridiculous, I know!). Looked like there was a squinter but BFN with FMU this morning
R/R: I'm super bloated and have a heavy feeling, which is what prompted me to test early in the first place. We've tried SA, endometrial biopsy, and HSG. Next step I believe is laparoscopy. We had the HSG in October so we were really hoping this would be our month .
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? Not new music, but I'm a big Ed Sheeran fan!
R/R: DH is doing his semen analysis test this morning, so I’m feeling a little anxious! They did at least say that we should have results by the end of the day, so we won’t have too long to wait. Other than that it’s just a typical Monday for me with way too much to do at work.
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: I actually haven’t found any new music I love lately! I’ve been listening to the album Little Seeds by Shovels & Rope nonstop in my car for a few weeks now, but it came out last year. If anyone has recommendations of new folk-influenced rock for me, I’d love to hear them!
@lalala2004 it’s been a struggle but I am holding out! I’m kind of SS... I didn’t have any spotting this cycle like I’ve previously had. It probably means nothing but you know how TWW-brain gets! I am keeping my FX for you girl! I have work tonight so I’ll probably test when I get up in the afternoon.
@Nikkels0516 sending hugs. Are you currently seeing an RE? Nothing has shown up on your or YH’s tests?
Testing: In 24 hours but I’m not feeling that great about this cycle.
R/R: I’ve been a little cranky this weekend so I think AF is on her way. But I did have a nice weekend with DH! We got our tree yesterday and decorated! Back to work tonight... womp womp.
CS/Q: No longer temping during TWW.
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? I never paid much attention to him while he was in One Direction, but I really like Niall Horan’s new music.
@Augusta108 I'm not sure what to hope for your DH's SA. Obviously you want it to be good results, but then you won't have answers! I just hope you have some answers and a plan soon, one way or the other!
@lalala2004 - Good luck tomorrow! @mrs_drc_rn - Good luck to you too! @Nikkels0516 - 8 days is soooo early, hoping things look better in a couple day! @Augusta108 - fx for good news on the SA!

CD/DPO: 16/4
Typical LP Length: 14
Timing: n/a
Testing: n/a
R/R: i'm already getting 2WW anxiety and we weren't even playing this month...wtf?
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? st. vincents new album is still rocking my world from October. Soooo good!
@Nikkels0516 Hopefully it’s just too early and this ends up being your month so you don’t have to move on to the laparoscopy
@Augusta108 Let us know how the SA results are! Hopefully they are positive!
Month/Cycle: 9/14 (5ntnp)
CD/DPO: 26/4 (although I think FF is wrong and it’s only 3 today)
Typical LP Length: 12
Timing: good
Testing: holding out for Sunday
R/R: Rant: Ugh, Monday. We are way behind on chores after a busy weekend so my day consists of dishes and laundry in between work emails...joy. Rave: Two more weeks of work and then I’m off for 3 weeks!
CS/Q: Anyone else agree with my 3DPO theory? Should I change it?
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? I am loving ‘Havana’ even thought it’s way too poppy for my usual taste! Makes me dance every time!
@lalala2004, yes, my emotions are a big mess right now whenever I start thinking about all the possible outcomes of the SA. I’m trying to think of it as being the beginning of answers for us regardless of how it turns out. GL testing tomorrow!
@mrs_drc_rn, FX for you tomorrow as well! I hope you’re wrong about AF looming.
@elothair, 3 DPO looks more likely to me, too. It’s hard to say for sure, though...
@Augusta108 GL for the SA results & dealing with them, whatever the outcome. Keep us posted. DD in spoiler
All the emotional messes are expected & normal. MH has his SA tomorrow. On one hand, I hope it is normal so that’s one less obstacle. However, I will be devastated if it is only me that has an issue. I’m afraid I’ll be happy or relieved if he does, too. Point being- there’s no correct response! Take care of yourself.
@lalala2004 Good job staying strong! @mrs_drc_rn FX for tomorrow. Hope that you are wrong about AF. We are here for you ❤️ @elothair I would venture to agree. At least then you’ll be more conservative in when to test (in theory!).
Thanks @mrs_drc_rn@jengibre_zorro and @elothair. I appreciate your kind words. We are not seeing a RE yet. Our OB is wonderful and has been ordering the tests. Although I'm wondering if an appt with a RE will be the next step after our laparoscopy. DH's SA came back within normal limits.
@Augusta108 keeping my FX for your DH's results - the waiting is agonizing! Keep us updated! @mrs_drc_rn here's to hoping AF stays away!
@jrm_14, thanks for being open about how you’re feeling about the SA—I definitely am feeling similarly and it really helps to know I’m not alone! All of this is just so emotionally complicated all the time, it’s exhausting.
Does seeing EWCM during the TWW mean anything @lalala2004 - I don’t think I’ve heard that one before?
@jrm_14 - lots of hugs. IF testing is the worst. FWIW, there’s only so much that can be done with low sperm count and/or quality, so as much as it sucks to “be the problem”, I will hope for good numbers for YH. And even one bad SA doesn’t mean much since values can vary widely (MHs first SA was awful, but the second one done a week later was much better). I know it’s hard, so hard, not to blame yourself, but I’ll keep my fx that the SA tomorrow goes well.
Month/Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 26/?
Typical LP Length: it was 10/11 days before but not sure now
Timing: unsure
Testing: I tested today and BFN
R/R: I hope no one minds me jumping in here. It’s my first cycle TFAS so we haven’t done more than HIO. I plan to start temping and OPKs next cycle so I have a better idea what my body is doing. I’m still BFing and I’m fairly certain that can throw things off
CS/Q: nothing to see here
GTKY: What is the best new music you heard lately? You know, I have the radio on but don’t feel like I really hear the music anymore lol
Ugh, it’s been a long busy Monday...Love its to all, hopefully tomorrow I’ll have time to post! I will add I’m SS like crazy and I’m only 4 DPO...insert eye roll emoji
Same as @nmbrcrnchr1 - crazy busy day. GL and Fx for everything that's going on for all you guys today. @lalala2004 and @mrs_drc_rn Fx for BFPs tomorrow! I'm 9 DPO and holding off, too busy packing. Although SS like it's my job, legit spent my morning coffee break googling (TMI) "foamy" FMU - Yes I know I'm ridiculous. But I'm getting PMS irritability and it's showing up at approximately the right time in the cycle (3-4 days before AF) so I think I'm out soon.
