CD/DPO: 29/ 2 or 3
Timing: -4, -2, -1
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.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
CS/Q: Not sure when I actually ovulated. May have been 4 days ago. May have been 2. Unclear.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -4, -1, +1
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.Typical LP length: 10-11
Testing: Sunday/Monday if my will power is strong.
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.
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 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.

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.

R/R: Rave: FRIDAY! Rant: Such a busy weekend ahead with a wedding tomorrow and a family party thing on Sunday. I guess it will help the TWW go a little faster...

GTKY: You're stranded on a desert island. You can have one book, one movie, and one personal item. What do you have? So, I'm stranded like can't get off? In that case... I'll take a book on how to survive, Castaway for solidarity and a volleyball for my own personal Wilson.
@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!

R/R: It's Friday! I get to have lunch with my mom today, too!Typical LP length: 11-13ish

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.
@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
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
R/R: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.
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
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 toTypical 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.
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
@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
@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!
@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...
@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.

@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!

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.
