Re: TWW Tuesday 07/31
CD/DPO: 34/8
Timing: -3,-2,O,+1
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: Thursday
R/R: Not much going on here until we leave Thursday for a week!
CS/Q: My temp has gone down slowly the last 3 days, still well above cover but it’s really crushing any hope I thought I had. Should be too early for AF but at this point I’m starting to assume it’s inevitable.
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: high
Typical LP length:10-12
Testing: did this morning (I got excited, alright? ha) - BFN. will try in another couple days
R/R: Nothing much going on here today. Just chuggin' along
CS/Q:
I figured out how to get just a pic of my chart emailed from FF to my email! Thrilling!
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD/DPO: 19/8
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,O
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Friday? Saturday?
R/R: Rant: It's only Tuesday?
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 14/16 (4 benched)
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -3,-1,+1
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Nope
R/R: Just want to get through the next couple of days and get to some time off from work. I need a break right now. Oh, and DH is off this week, came home to a loaded dishwasher (clean) sink full of dishes and him on the sofa, dishes around the house. I wanted to scream! It is a good thing that I love that man.
CS/Q
CD/DPO: 37/12
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: 13 or 14 days
Testing: All BFN. Yesterday was the last time I took one.
R/R: Rave: Today is my last day at my old job! I am getting my hair done tomorrow and then leaving for Portland on Thursday! Rant: I will have AF pretty much the WHOLE time I am in Portland.
CS/Q: Big temp drop today, so AF should be here in a couple days. I kind of wasn't expecting this big of a drop until tomorrow or the day after though.
@MRDCle - It's early for you too! Don't give up hope yet
@Sparty18 - Right there with you on only Tuesday. It should at least be Thursday, right?
@nitnat007 - When do they ever learn to clean? lol My FIL actually does all the dishes in his house, but DH didn't gain that gene haha!
@sparklingdiamond - Ooooh! How are you going to do your hair?
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 9 last time
Testing: 10dpo
R/R: Still not feeling the greatest. I wasn't able to eat much yesterday, just 2 biscuits at lunch and a couple of carrot sticks for dinner. I'm still SS even though I know it's too early for implantation so it's only progesterone that I'm reacting too or this flu.
CS/Q:
@nitnat007 I HATE DISHES. I would have been so annoyed. Last night DH promised to put the leftovers away after dinner. When I stopped for water before bed I saw that we have very different definitions of what tidying up after dinner means.
@sparklingdiamond sounds like you have a pretty nice week shaping up!
@marebear15 I hope you're feeling better soon!
@dogmomma271 Keep the hope alive, girl! You are still early. I will keep everything crossed for you!
@nitnat007 That used to drive me nuts!!! When we had an apartment it was DH's job to do dishes and mine to cook. He would leave them for a couple days and I would get so impatient with him! Enjoy your time off!
@marebear15 I hope you feel better soon
@sparklingdiamond Woot for last day!! Don't for get to...
Month/Cycle: 17/15
CD/DPO: 18/3 or 4 DPO
Timing: -5, -3, -1 or -4, -2, O
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: Recommended testing date is August 13th if AF doesn't show.
R/R: Nothing either way. First appointment at the fertility clinic is tomorrow. Not nervous. I just want to get the ball rolling. More nervous about leaving work for the morning as I have no replacement. It will be up to the clinicians to do some admin work :S
CS/Q: -
@marebear15 I want to try to go strawberry blonde. I usually do red, but I think DH is tired of that lol.
CD/DPO: 27 / 13
Timing: Good.
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: Sunday if I can hold out.
R/R: Rant: Migraine again today, ugh. Also been feeling crampy/sick to my stomach since Sunday. Not sure if it's a bug or I'm just SS way too hard and making myself ill. Last cycle was exactly 28 days, so I'm expecting AF tomorrow or Thursday. Between my face breaking out and these headaches, I'm trying to stay realistic that AF is on her way. Rave: I have some birthday cakes to make this week for family, and next week is our local carnival, which is always fun times (and full of junk food!)
TW: previous pregnancy mentioned
@dogmomma271, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's still early for you! I hope you have a great trip.
@MRDCle, fingers crossed for you as well!
@Sparty18, agreed, this meme explains my feelings perfectly...
@nitnat007, ugh, that's the worst! Seems like they never have the same definition of "cleaning," that we do...
@sparklingdiamond, I'm sorry about the BFN. Ooh, what hairstyle are you getting? Color, cut?
@marebear15, That stinks about your appetite, I hope you're back to 100% soon.
@meri-mac, good luck at your appointment! I always have mixed feelings leaving work to others... on one hand, it's good to feel needed, and on the other hand, I worry about what mistakes I'll need to fix when I get back
@Sparty18 Yay for DPO buddies! I have no sense of what day of the week it is anymore (teacher in the summer...) but I go back to work in less than 3 weeks so I need to start getting my head in the game!
@nitnat007 I didn't realize so many of us are 8DPO! That would drive me crazy too - I know I'm guilty of doing the same to my H once in a while, but usually on a day when we've both been at work and I just don't have the energy to clean up lol. I definitely try to make sure the kitchen is cleaned up before he comes home if I've been off all day!
@sparklingdiamond Damn, hugs for you friend. I always wanted strawberry blonde hair but mine's pretty dark and I don't think I could pull it off. Enjoy your trip and your last day at work! Like @meri-mac said - treat yo self!
@marebear15 Sorry you aren't feeling well. I totally get you on the SS - I made an omelette on like 4DPO and thought it smelled weird so threw it out, then thought OMG food aversions I must be KU! ...pretty sure the cheese was just expired.
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: high
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: I’m telling myself I’ll wait until AF is due
R/R: I’m symptom spotting like a crazy person, even though I don’t really have my hopes up. Like half of me really doesn’t think we’re going to get lucky this month and the other half is so so hopeful. Ugh.
CS/Q: nothing remarkable at this time.

@sparklingdiamond Sorry about the BFN. I hope you have a wonderful time in Portland with your H.
@marebear15 Sorry to hear you're feeling sick. I find it impossible not to ss. It's like I can feel every tiny movement in my body.
@meri-mac GL at your appointment!
@kangstadt I have my fingers crossed for you!!! I had a ton of symptoms this month. It's too bad PMS and pregnancy have the same symptoms.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/14
Timing:
Typical LP length: 14?
Testing: BFN wfaf
R/R: I leave for vacation on Saturday and this week is going to drag on I'm sure of it!!
CS/Q: Figured out my BBT thermometer and have been temping to get into the habit. I find it difficult to go back to sleep after. I'm sure the novelty will wear off soon.

@mermaidca Enjoy your vacation! Where are you going?
@general_organa I hope this is your month! I feel that way every time. Half convince myself it won't happen and half convince myself i am pregnant.
@dogmomma271 I haven't really noticed a difference in sleeping with DH or by myself. Unless he is sleeping right up next to me and I get too hot.
This is the color I want to try to get done!
That hair colour is beautiful!!

@Sparty18 great timing!
@MRDCle do you post from your computer or your phone? I'm mostly on my phone and I screenshot and crop my chart.
@nitnat007 dh is the worst when off work. Being off work doesn't mean house chores don't need to be done.
@meri-mac good luck at your appt.
Month/Cycle: 7 /8
@MRDCle sorry about the BFN! I'm trying to hold out until AF is due, but I know the temptation to test is strong.
@sparty18 oh wow we are all DPO buddies! I hate that it's only Tuesday. This TWW is going to take forever.
@nitnat007 oh hey 8 dpo party! haha wow. I guess it's the thing to do this month! Sorry about the dish situation at your house. My H likes to hoard dirty dishes and empty water bottles in his home office and it drives me bonkers.
@sparklingdiamond sorry about the BFN and the temp drop! I hope you have fun getting your hair done!
@marebear15 sorry you're still not feeling great. Hope you feel better soon!
@meri-mac I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow!
@kangstadt *TW*
@asupernovablizzardstorm our bed at home creaks too, and it's the worst.

@MRDCle Normally MH would cook and I would do dishes, but since he was home ALL day, I figured he had more than enough time to tackle it. Especially since I literally do all the other cleaning around the house myself. MH does the same thing with putting away the food too. Like why??
@meri-mac A couple of days? That would not work for me. I struggle with a couple hours. So much luck for your appointment tomorrow. Please update us on how it goes.
@kangstadt Hope you can get rid of that migraine. Shame man.
@dogmomma271 So many of us. Gotta mean its good luck for someone right?!
@asupernovablizzardstorm I think its worse when he is off too. It is like the mess just isnt even there to him. Yay for vacation sex!! whoop whoop!
@general_organa @MRDCle Oh, yours does that too?? Haha I have left dishes in his office before just to see how long they will sit there. Not to mention his car. Coffee cups and McD bags everywhere. So gross!
@kangstadt Preach girl!
Also - not really sure I fit in TWW yet - somewhere between WTO and TWW (just waiting for a 3rd temp)...so maybe tomorrow I'll jump in
@MRDCle i took a test at 8DPO too and it came up negative
@marebear15 I hope you feel better soon!
