R/R: Rant: Had to work late yesterday and have to work late Wednesday, boo. But it is helping me keep busy during this TWW. Rave: I've been keeping positive this TWW! Even though it's early, I hope it continues. I've been trying really hard to improve in that regard. Also, we're whitewashing our fireplace this weekend and I'm super excited about that!

CS/Q: Not at the moment

jennifer_louise · October 2018

Hugs @jessg2223 and @dogmomma271, AF can get the heck outta here.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 15/3ish

Timing: B+

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: WFAFish

R/R: My train was backwards this am. I didn’t get my usual seat which makes me a little sad. I also slept like poop...and my headphones are about to die. SOMEONE TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD STAT!! Lol. At least I remembered my tea this morning! And I have an unhealthy but DELICIOUS Chicken Pot Pie for dinner tonight!

CS/Q: Nada

@jessg2223 Woo Hoo for sleeping great. I am super envious!

@dogmomma271 I really hope it’s not AF!

@crookshanks10 I applaud you for trying to stay positive during the crazy TWW. I’m a glass half full myself. I believe I am KU until proven otherwise!! 😉

@jennifer_louise Stay positive!! Put a smile on. And if you have a hard time with that - think of a T-Rex making a bed. Bahahahahah!! It always makes me smile. Poor tiny arms.

Sparty18 · October 2018

*lurrrrrking*

@dogmomma271 Sorry for the BFN, friend.

@crookshanks10 Ooh yay for whitewashing! My H did ours last year and it made SUCH a difference.

@lillywonderland lol at your ish-es and B+

I like your style.

crookshanks10 · October 2018

@jennifer_louise I'm sorry you're feeling down. It's such an emotional roller-coaster. I have started reading positive affirmations and have started a gratitude journal and I think both of those really help! I hope you find positivity soon.
@lillywonderland Yummy to that chicken pot pie!! YAY for fall/winter comfort meals haha.
@Sparty18 Ohhh what method did you all use? Just painting it on and wiping it off? It sounds too easy but I figure if the worst happens we can always just paint it white lol.

lillywonderland · October 2018

@sparty18 I’m hoping someday we can get to A+ timing but I’m afraid after we do that DH will drop dead, LOL!

@crookshanks10 Will you please post pics after you’re done? I LOVE anything home-improvement/HGTVish related!!

Sparty18 · October 2018

@crookshanks10 I *think* he used 50/50 water & white paint and started with wiping it off, but it ended up not being necessary as he continued. I can confirm with him tonight. We had also figured it was worth the risk, if it didn't work we were just planning to tile over it or something anyway. Ours surprisingly ended up having different shades of grays/pale color kinda showing through, in a good way.

nomangos23 · October 2018

@jessg0820 Sorry for the temp drop but you're not out yet! And hallelujah for a good nights sleep. We celebrate those kinds of things in our house

@dogmomma271 Sorry AF is on her way

I was rooting for you. Do you like your Ava? I bought one then sold it online before I ever used it and sometimes wonder if I should have given it a shot.

@crookshanks10 Boo for late work days but YAY for feeling positive! That's half the battle right there! I'm keeping my FX for you! And post pics of the fireplace!

@jennifer_louise I was having a day like that last week and *gulp* turned on Xmas music to brighten my mood and get through the day. My boss walked in and was like "Seriously?" : D

@lillywonderland I was JUST thinking I should make a pot pie. Perfect way to ring in the fall season, in my opinion. Sorry for the back luck this morning... Can I recommend.... CHRISTMAS MUSIC?! : D

Month/Cycle: 11

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: an accidental possibility

Typical LP length: 10-13

Testing: No thanks

R/R: It's a monsoon here today and I'm supposed to travel for work this afternoon. I crossing my fingers for no flight delays but the rain doesn't look like it's going to stop

CS/Q:

crookshanks10 · October 2018

@lillywonderland I will definitely share pics! (:
@Sparty18 I'm so excited to do it. Our fireplace is so 80s! We were going to do some big renovations and make the fireplace gas but, that's on hold since we may be dropping all the moneys on IVF. Priorities I suppose...

grangerhp37 · October 2018

@nomangos23 I do like it so far! It’s a major plus that it doesn’t disrupt my sleep at all since I have trouble sleeping most nights. I also like that it tracks more than just temp - it tells you whether it identifies a bimodal pattern between your RHR, temp, and breathing rate (takes until 6 days after O before it’ll confirm). That’s super reassuring for me with PCOS to have a better idea whether I actually O’d. It is expensive, and hard to make the decision to buy it (I kept thinking “but I’ll waste all that money if I’m speshul and get KU right away!”) but since it looks like I’ll be here a while it was worth the investment to me.

b_1029 · October 2018

Not sure where I belong and am bored at work so I'm going to lurk on both threads...

@jessg2223 FX for you! And yay for a good night's sleep!
@dogmomma271 FX it isn't stupid AF! I have been wondering if Ava is worth it as well.
@crookshanks10 oooo, that sounds fun! I echo what someone else said, please post before/after pictures!
@jennifer_louise I'm with ya, seems like all I can think about is TTC. Easier said than done, but try to stay positive - it ain't over till it's over!
@lillywonderland chicken pot pie sounds amazing! and hey, veggies...totally healthy haha. I'm sorry your Tuesday is a Monday pt. 2!
@nomangos23 I hope the rain doesn't delay you!

ruby696 · October 2018

@dogmomma271, @b_1029, and @nomangos23 I love my Ava, especially since I have a delay between ovulation and temp rise. Every month I think Ava is wrong and every month it turns out to be right.

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD/DPO: 2dpo

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 12 days

Testing: Not anytime soon

R/R: Rant - I love fall weather, but it's fire season in CA. Last year we had horrific fires (this year too), so while I want to love the weather, it also makes me very nervous. I'm pretty bitter that I can't enjoy it like I used to.

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet

ETA: spelling

nomangos23 · October 2018

@ruby696 Interesting! I suspect Ive been having a delay between O and temp rise too but that's been corrected since I started thyroid meds. I know you mentioned you'd be having a RPL panels.. Keep an eye on your TSH level. Mine was at 3.6 and docs didn't want to medicate, but I insisted and am seeing so many positive changes in my life and in my cycle *TW Although I can't speak for a success pregnancy yet but hopefully that's to come? End TW*

ruby696 · October 2018

@nomangos23 Okay, so I've suspected my thyroid is the problem but my TSH level was at around 3, so I've been told it's not the issue. Thank you for telling me medication has been helpful for you! I'm having my prolactin levels tested next week and one of the causes of heightened levels is the thyroid. If my results are abnormal, I'm going to insist on thyroid medication. And I will be so angry if that's the issue.

ETA: words are hard

kiki047 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 10/7

CD/DPO: 45/7

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: Unknown, I'm usually an-ovulatory but last O cycle it was only 6 days

Testing: I can't say WFAF with a straight face so... we'll take it day by day. Friday if I make it that far.

R/R: Realistically I know I'm out this cycle but happy to have made it to 7dpo. Still not feeling 100%, mildly crampy and my belly is still tender to the touch. My SO is trying to convince me to go to the doc but there's a 50% chance it's just a result of my poor eating choices and I don't want to look like a fool if I go in and it's nothing.

CS/Q: Pretty sure this is the beginning of the end for me.

kiki047 · October 2018

@jessg2223 still keeping FX for you! Also, your chart gives me hope that my downward trending temps could still rebound, so I'm sorry for the BFN but thank you for the little glimmer of hope.
@dogmomma271 So sorry for AF and your BFN *hugs* thank you for continuing to share your Ava experiences.
@crookshanks10 I love that, I'm not religious our even spiritual but I do believe that sometimes certain outcomes are the manifestation of our energy, whether that is positive or negative. TTC is such a rollercoaster so it's challenging to be kind to oneself and to find positivity in the daily struggles so all the more power to you for trying!!

@jennifer_louise I chuckled a little at your comment about trying to be more positive because I had the same mentality this morning, but in reality I came in late, left an hour later for a lunch presentation, and have spent the last hour lurking the June BMB.
@lillywonderland bummer your day was off to a rough start but chicken pot pie sounds amazing! That's definitely something to look forward to after a long day of work.
@nomangos23 safe travels tonight. Also, I love Christmas but I'm so not ready for Christmas music just yet. You're right though, it's like an automatic pick-me-up when it's not played in a retail environment

@ruby696 that must be stressful to always have that fear of fires looming over you.

lillywonderland · October 2018

@nomangos23 I AM NOW ADDICTED TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC! Why did I ever stop listening to it?!?

@kiki047 Holy Moley, your RHR is practically identical to your temps! How cool!

@ruby696 We must be neighbors! I’m in SoCal! 😎

suzycupcake · October 2018

*lurk* @ruby696 and @lillywonderland A CA neighbor right here

ruby696 · October 2018

@lillywonderland Nope, I'm NorCal. Ours was right before yours last year. Horrible. At least we didn't have the mudslides you guys had!

@suzycupcake Hey there neighbor

kiki047 · October 2018

@lillywonderland haha yeah it's pretty neat, I use RHR as a secondary sign to recognize temps that may be outliers. For the most part they seem pretty accurate.
