Re: TWW FRIYAY 6/8

  • Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD/DPO: 29/ 2 or 3

    Timing: -4, -2, -1

    Typical LP length: unsure. Last month my cycle was 32 days as opposed to my "normal" 28. It was 7 days that cycle. Today I am already on day 29, soooooo we will see. 

    Testing: nope

    R/R: My weekend is shot to shit. I have two papers to write for grad class, 4 chapters to read, and about 80 essays to grade. Good news is there's only 9 days of school left. 

    CS/Q: Not sure when I actually ovulated. May have been 4 days ago. May have been 2. Unclear. 

    GTKY: Book: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Movie: When Harry Met Sally, Personal item: my really fuzzy couch blanket.

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 22/7

    Timing: -4, -1, +1

    Typical LP length: 10-11

    Testing: Sunday/Monday if my will power is strong.

    R/R: Kept waking up after 4am, so I ended up just taking my temp early. Got a temp barely below coverline, so I'm a little bummed out today. I'm trying to keep myself from thinking it's an implantation dip and prepare myself for AF.

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have? Book- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Movie- The third Indiana Jones movie. Personal Item- I'm not really sentimental about things, so either a picture of my family or perhaps my wedding ring.

  • @meggyme if you're not taking temp at regular time, they can fluctuate! So don't count yourself out yet. Hopefully this weekend you will get more restful sleep and see your temps go back up. 

    Also, I was tied between Azkaban and HBP for my picks. I love #3 because it's the last book with innocence to it. But HBP has that intense Dumbledore/HP moment in it. And I love Snape and the roll he plays.  
  • @ladylinsey Azkaban is my favorite book and movie. I think it has more re-readability just because there are so many little pieces that fall into place with the time travel. I love thinking about how if just one decision was made differently how much would have changed. Also, Sirius is my favorite character, followed by the twins.

  • @ladylinsey Ugh that bites that you have so much school work to do this weekend. But it is almost done and then you get the summer to enjoy! Stay strong. 

    @meggyme Don't stress about your temp drop today. It is still so early, it could just be because of poor sleep. See how your next few days play out. 

    Month/Cycle: 13/14 (4 benched)

    CD/DPO: 21/8

    Timing: -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: Nope

    R/R: My hip is so sore today. I feel like a little old woman! I did a bit of running yesterday and this is what I get for doing it. These hips were not made for running. So excited for the weekend though. 

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have? Book - The Art of Racing in the Rain. Movie - Hmmm...something that would make me laugh for sure. Personal item - Something that reminds me of my family for sure. 

  • @nitnat007 OMG The Art of Racing in the Rain. ANY person who has EVER loved a dog MUST read this. I C.R.I.E.D. ugly style. 
  • @ladylinsey woohoo for only 9 days of school left!

    @meggyme sorry about your temp, hopefully you'll have a better temp tomorrow and AF will stay away!

    @nitnat007 @ladylinsey I'll have to look into that book! I love dogs.

    @sparty18 I love your practicality! 

    Month/Cycle: 13/13

    CD/DPO: 24/6

    Timing: -4, -1, +1

    Typical LP length: 11-13ish

    Testing: waiting till 6/14

    R/R: It's Friday! I get to have lunch with my mom today, too!

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have?
    We answered this for our International Women's Day conference my company held. I would chose Harry Potter 
    The Prisoner of Azkaban, You've Got Mail (pretty sure that's only on VHS), and my journal. 
  • @Sparty18 Well played lol. I didn't even think of the logical perspective on that. Probably should have taken a knife or something practical. Have a great fun and busy weekend. 

    @thrgirlwhowaited @ladylinsey I completely ugly cried reading that book too. But I thought it was beautifully written. Enjoy your lunch!
  • Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 30/12

    Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

    Typical LP length: 11.5, but I think I might be finally getting that extra missing half day back. TW in spoiler

    I started taking B complex this month, but I also finally completely weaned DD, so I’m wondering if both of those things are helping my LP get back to 12 days. 

    Testing: I’ll test tomorrow if my temp doesn’t plummet. 

    R/R: Miraculously I'm still here. I was 100% expecting a temp drop this morning, but it’s pretty much the same as yesterday. I feel like it’s just my LP lengthening, but it’s also giving me some misplaced hope, I think. I would expect my temp to go up if we were successful this month, which it did not. I just want a definitive answer so I can move forward. I hate limbo. 

    CS/Q: chart if anyone cares to look. 

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have? A book on how to survive on a desert island, a some kind of romcom, and a photo of my family. 

    Sorry to post and run this morning - we've got a bunch of errands we need to get done!

  • @nitnat007 @ladylinsey  

    I started that book years ago but have a bad habit of dropping books when I know I’m getting to the sad part. The feelings are just too intense sometimes.

    Month/Cycle: 5/5


    CD/DPO: 26

    Timing: crappy


    Testing: BFN this morning I guess it’s possible it’s too early because I usually have a 32 day cycle even though I got EWM and O pain earlier this month so I’m expecting a shorter cycle. I really don’t think it’s happening this month so I’m going to go ahead and enjoy all the beer I want camping this weekend. 

    R/R: 

    CS/Q

    GTKY:
    Book: The 5 People You Meet in Heaven which I’ve been wanting to reread and can’t find my copy. 
    Movie: I feel like this is a trick question. Would there really be anything to watch the movie on? But I’d still take one Incase I could makeshift it into a knife or something. 
    Personal Item: a lighter  
  • Month/Cycle: 17/14

    CD/DPO: 21/7

    Timing: -3, O, +1

    Typical LP length: 14-15

    Testing: Not if my willpower holds out. Thank goodness I am busy with wedding things this weekend or I may have cracked.

    R/R: Rave: Friday!! Meeting with our officiant tonight. She has written a ceremony with little nerdy bits in it. It is subtle and beautiful. I had my colleague redact MF vows as I don't want to know what he is going to say before he says it. Rant: I am waiting for a call from a company who has software to give reminder calls for appointments and a recheck call at the 4 month/1 year mark. It was supposed to be at 10:30, but he was in a meeting that ran late. We pushed it to 

    CS/Q: - 

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have? Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Price or Deathly Hallows, Hook and a lighter (unless MF counts as a personal item :) )
  • @ladylinsey I hope you can scratch out at least 30 minutes of time for yourself this weekend. I hope those 9 days go by quickly!

    @meggyme Sirius & the boys are my favourites too! I am glad there are so many PotterHeads on this forum!

    @nitnat007 That's what you get for running. Gross ;) Hope you feel better.

    @Sparty18 I do appreciate the practicality of your list. Enjoy the wedding!

    @thrgirlwhowaited That's so nice! Where did you and your mom go?

    @general_organa I'm sorry about the limbo. I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

    @JLaVO888 I thought about the movie question too, but let's assume we have been kidnapped and placed on the island who wants to see the breaking point of humans. They want to see if having these 3 items will help us or just drive us batty! Fx for you!
  • @general_organa So hopeful for you!  Looking at your chart, is there any chance you really O'd on 19 instead of 18?
  • @nitnat007 running makes my knees hurt. I swear my knees are 40yrs older than the rest of me.

    @Sparty18 @general_organa @JLaVO888 @meri-Mac you guys are all so practical... I’d be sitting there with HP and my wedding ring, just starving to death...

    @JLaVO888 hope you have the best time camping! Going anywhere exciting or just local? 

    @general_organa FX this is your month. And I agree, definitely a romantic comedy. Just watched bridget jones for 7 millionth time. 

    @meggyme i feel you about knees. DH laughs when we play tennis (poorly) bc I hate any running and let many balls go out. 
  • edited June 2018
    @sparty18 You're totally right. I checked my notes for CD 19 and recorded a much lower temperature the first time I woke up around 5 am than the one I ended up using for the chart. I feel like a n00b! Such a rookie mistake. Updated chart definitely shows O on CD 19, but I remember CM was already changing from EW to creamy that day, which is why I pushed to CD 18. I went back through my chart and corrected temps to the first wake up temp even if it was ass early, so I guess today is really 11 dpo. I guess I'm still hoping my LP is gaining that missing day back, though!

  • @general_organa Hope your LP is still going to be longer too... like 9 months longer.  The good news is, I feel like this makes your timing a bit better since you weren't happy about the PM/AM situation and this gives you a solid -1,O.  Also, your BFN from the other day was now even a day earlier, so... here's to hoping!
  • @meri-mac she took me to La Madeleine. It was nice to spend some time with her. Hopefully she comes over tomorrow and we'll go to the pool.
  • @sparty18 you are too sweet! Thank you, I appreciate that  <3 And you're right, it does make our timing better! 

    @ladylinsey I love me a fuzzy couch blanket. Good choice! 

    @meggyme I definitely wouldn't count yourself out yet! I don't think a temp dip on 7 dpo means you're out at all. I've noticed my temps are definitely lower when I wake up early than when I wake up at a normal time.  

    @nitnat007 Getting back into running shape is so hard. Good for you for doing it! 

    @JLaVO888 sorry about the BFN. I hope you have fun camping this weekend! 

    @meri-mac enjoy all the wedding things this weekend! 

    @vl_16 thank you! I'm not super hopeful, but it would be nice if this were my month!

  • @ladylinsey Your weekend sounds miserable, I'm so sorry :( I hope you find -something- to enjoy though!
    @meggyme Sore joints are the worst, especially when you're trying to exercise and be good and you get punished for it, ha!
    @Sparty18 Keeping busy will definitely be helpful. I hope it helps the TWW fly by for you! And have fun :smile: 
    @thrgirlwhowaited Aww, have fun with your mom :) Is she local to you or in from out of town?
    @general_organa FX for tomorrow's test if you do end up testing!
    @JLaVO888 Sorry you aren't optimistic but enjoy the beer ;)
    @meri-mac Sounds like a great person to officiate if she's able to incorporate some nerd fun into the ceremony :smile: 

    Month/Cycle: 2/1

    CD/DPO: 30/6?

    Timing: If I'm right about when I ovulated, -1, O, +1

    Typical LP length: ??

    Testing: I'm trying to hold out until next weekend when I'd estimate AF is due. I have one hpt right now and I'm trying VERY hard not to buy any more right now in the hopes that I don't become a POAS obsessed monster. 

    R/R: Caps win the Stanley Cup!! Hubs is working tomorrow which is kind of a bummer, but I'm looking forward to the time to get some stuff done around the house.

    CS/Q: n/a

    GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have?
    Book: Outlander. I read it like 20yrs ago as a much younger person and it is still my very favorite. I do love me some Harry Potter, too though.
    Movie: 10 Things I Hate About You
    Personal item: probably a blanket.
