Re: TWW Tuesday 7/17
CD/DPO: 23/ 8 DPO
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: 13 days I think
Testing: I am trying to hold out until at least 10 dpo, which is Thursday. Really I would like to just wait until AF, but don't know if I can.
R/R: I have a job interview today and am nervous!!! I just want this to go well so I can get out of here before they find my replacement.
CS/Q: I didn't sleep as well and took my temp an hour before normal time, so it would've been a bit higher if I had taken it at the correct time.
Month/Cycle: 26 months
CD/DPO: 19/9
Timing: -5, -4, -2, O
Typical LP length: 15 days
Testing: WFAF
R/R: I got to the gym yesterday and kicked ass on the elliptical! I forgot how good it can feel to sweat it out! Now let's see if I can keep this up lol. Also, a former coworker that I don't care for is coming up for lunch so WS (work spouse) and I are going out to get lunch at Subway.
CS/Q: nope

DPO: 8 DPO (probably)
Timing: -5, -4, day of ovias window start (let’s pretend this is o day), 3, last day of window
Testing: I was supposed to wait til next Monday. Couldn’t. BFN this with FMU today but maybe it’s too early especially if I didn’t o at the start of the window.
R/R: I made the mistake of stalking the “what does a BFP look like” thread last night. Lots of faint BFP at 8dpo and so I broke my WFAF rule in my silly hopefulness. Lots of SS in the last few days and DH has now joined me in the vivid dreams of being KU which doesn’t help lol. I’m going to make him hide all the tests in the house until the end of the month because clearly I have no self control. BUT I get to go snuggle a friends LO today so that should put the bitsy fever on standby at least for a day or two.
CS/Q: Not really a CS but I’m thinking I’ve gotta start using OPKs or FF at least because this whole not knowing when I O and having a week of potential days makes my TWW into an almost 3WW which is mildly maddening.
@lulu1180 Mmm Subway. That sounds so good right now. I love the elliptical too. That’s definitely my go to.
@Raeraezilla93 FX it’s just too early for you right now. I also laid in bed last night going down the rabbit hole of SS on google. Enjoy the snuggles!
@literatureandink Good luck with your interview as well!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13/14 days
Testing: Still holding strong for Thursday
R/R: I’m going with my mom and sister tonight to get a pedicure. We are leaving for our family vacation on Saturday, so we are getting ourselves beach ready! I’m trying to decide what color I want before I go. I always feel overwhelmed by the choices. I’m a red/pink color girl so I’ll probably go with something predictable.
CS/Q: none
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 12 ish
Testing: still waiting for af. FF says I can test tomorrow, but I think I might still hold out a few days if af doesn't arrive. Last month FF had O day wrong and I had a longer cycle than my normal, so there was a lot of disappointment and confusion with testing dates. So I'm a bit gun shy now.
R/R: Rave: I get to work from home today! It's always great when I get to do this. But the reason for it is less great, given it's still the ongoing nonsense with this annual report we're working on at my library. Wordcount restrictions are real things in printed report!! But this basic concept is apparently too much. Oh well. Still get to work with my cats on my lap, so I shouldn't complain.
CS/Q: Temps are still high. Trying not to get too hopeful!
@sparklingdiamond - Good luck with the interview!! I hope it goes great!
@Raeraezilla93 - I definitely recommend FF. I only really tried one month without it, but that was enough to convince me that the unknowns around O were too much for me to handle. Of course, as I mentioned above, there's still room for error, even with it, but I at least have more to look at and can get a better sense of patterns and when to really start testing or not.
@lulu1180 - Great work with the gym today! It's so bizarre how hard it is to get oneself to go, but then the payoff is so good when you're finished.
@nanner26 - I've never gotten a pedicure! But everyone raves about them as being really nice. I hope you enjoy your upcoming vacation!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -5 -3 -2 -1
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: I'm going to hold out until Saturday morning when I'll be 10dpo. I have one expensive HPT to use then.
R/R: I really don't think this cycle will be successful. H has been making comments like "when you're pregnant..." and telling me baby names he likes. I'm putting on a good face when he talks about baby stuff, but I'm crying inside. I know he's really proud of himself for all the HIO we did during FW, I am too. I think it's going to be pretty tough on him if this cycle isn't successful. Overall this TWW has been emotionally tougher than others.
CS/Q: My temps since O have been lower than in previous TWW by .3 degrees at least. I don't know what to make of that. I'm still having CCM so that's probably not a good sign either.
@lulu1180 good for you getting on the elliptical! I hate working out, but the good feeling afterwords is worth it.
@nanner26 where are you going on your vacation? I need to treat myself to a pedicure, it's been too long.
@auburnvelvet86 cats definitely make work more bearable.
@Swiftlet what book are you reading?
@sparklingdiamond Good luck with the interview
Good luck with everyone waiting to test!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: Trying to hold out until Saturday morning.
R/R: I was really tired yesterday, but I'm better today. Totally SS yesterday with fatigue and low back soreness., but they were probably from getting up super early for a workout class and
**TW carrying my 11 month niece around the ballpark Sunday and bending over to hold her hands while she walked. end TW**
CS/Q: Temps seem to be stabilizing higher then right after when I had the positive OPK and CM signs, so I'm either 10 DPO or 7 DPO. Either way I think I'll be okay to test Saturday?
@luckywife10 We are going to Florida. It’s not that far of a drive and it’s usually relaxing. It’s sweet when DH gets excited but I always have to remind him it could take awhile. Who knows?
@Swiftlet Some fingernail polish names make me laugh. That’s a good one!
@lulu1180 yay for hitting the gym! I finally went last Sat and felt so good afterwards.
@literatureandink Good luck at your interview!
@nanner26 Yay for vacation! It should just be the one interview. It's a small company.
@auburnvelvet86 I love working from home when I can. Which isn't often...But sorry for the annoying issue you're dealing with.
@luckywife10 Aww it's so hard when they get excited about it.
@Swiftlet I am an accountant and do bookkeeping and taxes.
@jessg2223 FX for you!
@luckywife10 I'm sorry this cycle has been tough emotionally. That's the pits. It's very sweet that YH is also really bought in emotionally. Riding an emotional roller coaster seems to be the price we all pay for wanting TTC to work out, including DHs. I'm rooting for you!
@literatureandink and @sparklingdiamond Possible new jobs? Woo!
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: yes
Typical LP: 8
R/R: I have a pimple on my lip and it's bad. It hurts when I talk. I almost called in sick to WFH. After applying a pound of concealer, I was able to pull myself together and get myself to work.
CS/Q: Temperature dropped today 0.4 deg. Given my typical LP, I'm WFAF to show up any time now today or tomorrow. My optimism from yesterday has evaporated. I guess I'm not technically out for the count, but it feels that way.

On a brighter note: yes, Jaws the movie is based off the book by the same name by Peter Benchley! Like most other book to movie transitions, there are things that didn’t make the cut to the movie. Definitely a quick/light read- check it out
