lokibear89 · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 10/7

Cycle Day/DPO: 28/11

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: Tuesday

R/R: I am super tired but hopefully in a week or so it should all calm down. My boss is buying the whole business from the people who currently own majority and I am super sick of stocktaking. Next weekend they will check some random items and if it's all good we are all done.
Also the closer I get to AF the more crazy symptom spotter I become.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends? It depends, we hate plans so when we can avoid having to see anyone, we sleep in, clean up, go for a walk and maybe fishing if H is organised and the weather is ok. If its rubbish weather we play on the Xbox (not currently playing anything), crochet (me not him), or watch tele.

holly321 · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 14/7

Cycle Day/DPO: 16/4

Timing: O, or possibly -1,O, since I question FF.

Typical LP length: I think 15 days.

Testing: probably around Thursday.

R/R: Rant- I have not been feeling well, horrible heartburn last night then vertigo/nausea this morning, I keep thinking I am getting the tummy bug I was exposed too, but so far so good. rave- once I took a zofran that I unfortunately have a ton of, I have felt a lot better and have had a mostly good day.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends?
Mostly just spend time with family. dH and I try to get out together every couple of Saturdays. Usually on Sunday we have a big dinner with my parents, that is usually cookouts once it warms up a bit.

fantasyflyte · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 25/4

Timing: -1, O

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends? not usually much, just hanging out, sometimes going to my parents' for dinner. lots of relaxing.

meri-mac · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 14/11 (I have had this wrong all month. I was not prepared for March :S)

Cycle Day/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 14-15 Days

Testing: Waiting for AF

R/R: Had the sticky toffee pudding last night for the first time in a while and it made me miss London so much. I recommend anyone travelling to London go to the Sherlock Holmes Restaurant. So good!

CS/Q: -

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends? Usually I play some games on the PC: Sims 2, Stick of Truth, Injustice, etc. I also take my puppers for several walks to tire her out.

CecilB93 · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 34/10 if I got O date correct

Timing: -4, +1 (again, if I got O correct)

Typical LP length: 12-13 days

Testing: probably Thursday morning if AF doesn't show up. We get back from vacation on Wednesday night, but AF is due potentially Wed or Thurs

R/R: Got to go to a Royals Spring Training game yesterday!! We won!!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends?
We try to clean or do something to fix our house, hasn't been happening much lately. We typically make one day a lazy day though and watch tv/movies or play video games. We also enjoy walking thru places like Menards, Lowes, Home Depot and talking about what updates we want to do to the house.

suzycupcake · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 4th iui

Cycle Day/DPO: 15/We are either 1dpiui or right at O (explained below).

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 14, 16; previous iui

Testing: 3/31

R/R: FF marked O as yesterday, but one follicle already ovulated when we did iui then and there were two more about to. RE said the trigger can take up to 48 hours to make the other two release. We cannot know for sure when/if and we aren't going to pay $250 for another followup u/s. We more than likely have two O dates this cycle or ovulated multiple eggs in the same ovulation timeframe. I don't really know how that works and don't feel like researching right now.

I'm just happy we had good timing this cycle too. So now we wait. I wish mh wouldn't have had performance anxiety last night, but I have to think positively and believe there was a reason for that and that God knows what's best.

CS/Q: No

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends? Mostly I relax, take care of myself, some gardening sometimes, binge watch shows, eat good food, etc. Mh does a bunch of tasks (he finds it difficult to relax) and used to want me to do everything with him, but I don't have as much energy as he does. We make sure we block out time to be together during it all.

emmasemm · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 36/34

Cycle Day/DPO: 22/7 (though O is a bit subjective)

Timing: -1 and 0

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: If no AF then next weekend probably, but will try to hold out until Monday (haha)

R/R: Looks like it’s been a quiet weekend around here.
Rant - the weekend has gone far too quickly and I’ve not made enough progress on my thesis. Also it seems like the results won’t be back from our last testing before AF is here.
Rave - after another measuring session we officially placed the order for the blinds and we sent off enquirers to 12 landscaping companies to try to get some quotes for our terrace, garden and fencing. So it was quite productive - especially considering after having some “fun” after breakfast we fell asleep, and it was almost 2pm when we woke up!!! Oops!

CS/Q: My temps rose normally, but dipped and haven’t come back up again so I assume it was a weak ovulation with a corpus luteum that doesn’t really pump out enough progesterone. I didn’t start my progesterone supplements as I wasn’t sure if I’d Od and now I know I guess it’s a bit late, but have started today just in case.

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends?
Saturday is our day for doing jobs and going out shopping etc. That’s partly due to all shops being closed on Sundays here. We typically take a late lunch out, or early dinner. In the evening we normally watch a movie. Sunday’s we normally have a nice breakfast together (DH cooks great pancakes and a special omelette thing) and then we do a mix of house jobs and DH cooks a nice dinner. Maybe another movie, or we will do some online research for one of our house projects together. In between we do some prep work for the week ahead. And at the moment I’m supposed to squeeze in as much time as possible writing my thesis.

@suzycupcake I understand it’s supposed to be rare for follicles to ovulate more than a few hours apart as the hormones from the corpus luteum from the first is supposed to prevent it. But it definitely is still possible. Try not to worry too much. And it’s good that you have such awesome timing.

@cecilb93 sounds like you’re on the home improvement tour too. I’ve never seen so many DIY stores and furniture stores before we bought our house.

@meri-Mac oh my god, sticky toffee pudding... as a Brit I can second your recommendation

@fantasyflyte hope the dress shopping went well

@holly321 hope you don’t have the tummy bug

@lokibear89 management buy outs can be pretty stressful, hope they get it concluded really quickly

fantasyflyte · March 2018

@emmasemm it did, thanks! It was a lot of fun, and I got a very comfy dress that should also accomodate a bump if I have one by then. Which was interesting trying to assess because my bride sister is the only IRL person that knows we're trying, so I couldn't let on that that was a consideration lol.

suzycupcake · March 2018

@emmasemm Even with the trigger shot? I thought hyper ovulation can be a thing with treatment cycles. It’s hard to not worry lol

I found this online and about died

maureenmce · March 2018

@lokibear89 Crocheting sounds awesome! Do you make scarves mostly, or blankets? Or clothes too?

@holly321 Sorry you've been feeling under the weather, hopefully you feel better soon! And big family dinners every Sunday sounds so nice I'd love to get a tradition like that going if we ever lived closer to family.

@fantasyflyte Oooh wedding dress shopping is so fun! Have a great time!

@meri-mac Sticky toffee pudding is sooooo amazing! We had it for the first time on our honeymoon in Scotland and I do not understand why it's not a thing here in the US really. It's so incredibly delicious!

@CecilB93 I love just walking through stores and planning future changes with my husband too, though we mostly do Target (since we rent and can't make any major changes.)

@suzycupcake Glad you had good timing this cycle! Also loooooooool at that Betty White quote!

@emmasemm Sorry you didn't make a ton of progress on your thesis but it sounds like you're making a lot of cool improvements to your house!

Month/Cycle: 2/2 **TW after 2 losses end TW**

Cycle Day/DPO: CD17/3DPO (I think, I could be 2 DPO.)

Timing: We were in it to win it this month, lol -3, -2, -1, 0, +1 (if I'm right on O anyway.)

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: Ugh, gosh, I don't know. I want to be all mature and wait until I'm late, but I was already thinking "how soon can I test???" TODAY so I'm guessing I will cave and test the day before my period is due (3/29) or maybe even the day before that.

R/R: None of either today, just busy with errands!

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKY: What do you do on the weekends? Really just errands, cleaning, writing and exercise. And my husband and I try to watch something fun on Friday and Saturday nights because we don't usually get to through the week. Not crazily exciting, lol.

lokibear89 · March 2018

@maureenmce At the moment making a blanket but eyeing up a pattern for a cozy looking cardi just in time for winter

suzycupcake · March 2018

@lokibear89 I bought a singer stylist a couple of years ago and have only used it to make cushion covers so far. What sites do you go to for patterns? I'd like to try other things. I got one of those mat things and a cutter, but I hate using it. It messes me up, but probably because I'm not used to it yet. I've only ever used scissors.

lokibear89 · March 2018

@suzycupcake I spend way too much time on Ravelry which is like a knit and crochet website, I also follow some blogs on instagram. I have a sewing machine as well that I have done just about as much as you eek (gathering dust in the cupboard). Although apparently according to the H I will be bringing some curtains up and making some outdoor cushions covers soon.

suzycupcake · March 2018

@lokibear89 Lol mh made me buy the machine because I once took several hours to sew a 72" side of a cushion cover together and then realized I didn't line up the stripes!

lokibear89 · March 2018

@suzycupcake that would be heartbreaking

fantasyflyte · March 2018

@lokibear89 lol I practically live on Ravelry. I haven't had a lot of knitting mojo recently though, I have a huge number of projects on the needles but nothing's calling to me.

lokibear89 · March 2018

@fantasyflyte finding patterns you have no intention of doing is a pastime on its own

meri-mac · March 2018

@emmasemm I am glad it isn't just me being an ignorant foreigner with my recommendation

I can only go by my taste buds. I also love their fish and chips. It kills me that I haven't been able to go back!

@maureenmce I have tried to make it myself using a BBC receipe, but I can't find the right dates and sugar. I really want to be able to make it properly with custard and I can't. Oh the agony!
