@holly321 totally understand, long days are the worst! Hang in there!
ETA spoiler, my bump mobile is being weird today.
Month/Cycle: 11/12
CD/DPO: 26/13-15
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-15
Testing: AF due today but I still think I O’d either CD 13 or 14 so I expect her Wednesday or Thursday. If still not here Thurs I’ll test but don’t want the heartbreak of another BFN
R/R: I have an all day training today, tomorrow, and Thursday for work so I am in pack mule status at the gym. Already can’t wait to get home tonight! Rave- finally made it back into the gym!
CS/Q: I ended up disregarding that abnormally low temp from the weekend. Still looks pretty funky
CS/Q: Anyone want to vote on when I O’ed? My temps were a little jagged last week due to travel. I think I O’ed yesterday or Sunday. FF says Saturday. This happened last month too with the dotted lines until a few days later with raised temps. I know timing is good either way, but for LP/AF purposes, I’d like to pin down a day at some point 😊
Mobile bumping this am. I’ll be back to check in this afternoon!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 18/3-5 (app says 3 days based on 28 day cycle, and no other info. I looked back at my last few cycles and they are around 25/26 days, so I think I would O earlier, or I have a shorter LP?)
Timing: Decent
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: going to try and wait until nov 1/2
R/R: I’ve been training for a half marathon, and everyone has said I will grow to love running, but that has not happened! I dread my runs lol! The half is on nov 4th, and I’ll probably walk/jog it, and never do another one again. Big props to those out there who are avid runners!
CS/Q: not yet. Just waiting to see what this cycle does.
@holly321 chart looks good! I also hate stuff after work (unless it is fun stuff and on a Friday ha) @b_1029 giiiiirl that chart looks good too!!! fx also I lol'd bc I use "pack mule" a lot. @cpiper39 FF might be right and you missed the start of the LH surge on CD12 @nolemomma14 wow that is impressive! I hate running lol
@holly321 Your chart looks so good! Sorry about going somewhere after work! It's no fun!
@b_1029 So exciting to get back in the gym!!! FX for you!!!
@cpiper39 I think Sunday - probably a few more days of temps will make FF change the date and solidify the CH? Regardless your timing is great!
@chichiphin Hey there, stranger!!! That's so cute about your outfit!!! I agree - her outfits are always on point! I think you maybe O'ed yesterday or even today.
@nolemomma14 Oh goodness - how cool about the marathon!!! I used to be in track and ran for years and I hated every second of it lol. GL in the half!!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: Good.
Typical LP length: N/A
Testing: Nope.
R/R: Happy Tuesday! Is it summer yet? BRRRRR. But I did find a sweater that I totally forgot about and it's super cute and cozy. So I'll take it lol.
CS/Q: Just because. My LP is usually super short, normal-ish, or super long so I'm curious what this month has in store. I'm hoping AF just gets here already.
@holly321 - I hate having errands to run after work too. I get home and it's like time to eat dinner and go to bed.
@b_1029 - Those temps still are nice and high. I'd say you have a chance!
@cpiper39 - Maybe overnight of the 12-13? FF should probably give you solid CHs tomorrow.
@chichiphin - Hey friend! Good to see you over here. I wanna say that you O'ed the night of the 18, but I also want to selfishly say CD19 so that we are TWW buddies. Hopefully we'll get our longest LPs yet!
@nolemomma14 - If nothing weird is going on in your body, your LP should say the same and it's your FP that changes. However, TW
If you are still nursing, your LP may vary. I can't remember from TFAS if you still are.
@brookert615 - I love unpacking my fall/winter clothes and finding pieces I'd forgotten about. It's like Christmas!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 18/1
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 12 is my longest
Testing: Sunday the 4th
R/R: Had a migraine yesterday that came on quickly. The only trigger I can think of was I took my beta blocker yesterday afternoon for a performance I was nervous for. I'm feeling much better today though!
CS/Q: Starting my slow temp rise. Takes me forever to get the CHs because I always have like 4 days of temp rising, so I put it on OPK detector. I think I know my body well enough by now to move over here confidently, but now I've jinks myself.
@cpiper39 My vote is for O on the 22nd... hopefully your next few temps keep climbing and it is more obvious. Was there anything that stood out that could have made the temp so low on the 20th?
@chichiphin Welcome back to the dark side! My vote is for yesterday.
@nolemomma14 I will never understand runners either, it just isn't for me.
@brookert615 I love when I find clothes I love that I forgot I had!
@marebear15 That is annoying about your temps, but it looks like the signs all add up!
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 22/10ish
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2, IUI on -1, IUI on O
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: Nope.
R/R: Rant: I dislike Tuesdays. Rave: I did my nails yesterday in a nice fall color.
@holly321 not the same but I hate when there's something I have to do that is out of the way I usually do things. @b_1029 fingers crossed!! You're chart looks great! @cpiper39 in thinking CD 13 with the opk and CP. @chichiphin I think the opk detector @nolemomma14 good luck with the marathon. @brookert615 sorry that AF is taking her time. It's chilly here and I realized we really need sweaters.
Month/Cycle: 10/11
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -3,-1,0
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: on friday if I don't get my normal temp drop.
R/R: barely slept last night and kept waking up every hour. Also one of the dogs is driving me crazy. She would not stop pooping in the house doesn't matter how long I leave them outside. I need to check out the backyard to see why she's refusing to do her business out there. She's not scared of anything since she barks non stop.
@marebear15 lol we are close enough to still be TWW buddies... what was your performance for?? @brookert615 girl you got some time left on fall and winter hahaha @asupernovablizzardstorm ugh I'm sorry about last night and your poor pup! @Sparty18 I'm on pins and needles every day waiting to hear from you!!
@chichiphin - Okay, this might sound weird, but I get anxiety for other people. So it was really my friend's senior speech recital, but I've helped her for so long on it, that I felt very invested in it. I pass out a lot when I get nervous, even when I'm nervous for someone else, so I took it just in case.
@holly321 I just had the same
conversation with my friend at work today about allllll the stuff we have to do
when we get home and home the day doesn’t REALLY end after work. I hate when
people think I want to do anything except go directly home after I’m done in
the office.
@b_1029 Your chart is looking great, especially being the
end of your LP. Good luck!!
@chichiphin Welcome over here, lady! I think you O’d Sunday
but that’s just because I never have 2 days of + OPKs without O’ing on the
second day of positive. That’s just me, though! Looks like good timing no
matter!
@marebear15 Hey girl heyyyy! I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Headaches/migraines are the worsttttt…Also, I always experience a slow rise so
I feel you!
@Sparty18 What color? Have you ever used Lincoln Park After
Dark? It’s one of my favorite Fall/Winter colors!
Testing: Trying to stay strong! Probably will cave in!
R/R: My commute to work has been KILLING me lately. I feel like I'm constantly either in my car or in my office. Blech. On the bright side, I made Sunday brunch plans with my oldest girl friends. I'm VERY excited.
@cpiper39 Dotted
lines are super annoying! I would probably pick CD 13
@chichiphin I would go with the OPK chart. There was a
chart I saw when I was still lurking in September that talked about the BBT
ride being delayed up to 3 days.
@brooker615 Super
glad you get to be cute and comfy today. It's going to be over 65 where I am
today so I felt obligated to wear a skirt even though I would love to wear my
stretchy work pants.
@marebear15 Hope
your chart confirms your suspicion soon!
@sparty18 I I did my
nails yesterday too! Do you do them yourself?
Testing: I always say I will but then get too scared to,
maybe not that I'm no longer lurking I will feel more supported this month
R/R: I am visiting my sister for Thanksgiving, we are six
years apart and haven't been too close in the past few years. She has been TTC
for over a year and I know the topic is very sensitive to her so I have been
asked not to discuss my adventure in TTC with her which I respect but really
wish I knew a way to show her my heart breaks for her.
CS/Q:
Actually got solid CHs this month which makes me happy, but feel like the rise
looks odd.
TTGP November 2018 Siggy Challenge - Thanksgiving Dinner Fails
@queenie_b That's a tough situation with your sister! I don't even know if there were any ways to show support other than just being there for her and making sure she knows it.
@queenie_b Perhaps if you're not KU after a few more cycles, your sister might be more open to hearing your struggles and commiserating with you. And don't be afraid to POAS around here! We will support you!
Was lurking / love titting all day and am finally able to respond! Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words on my chart- They gave me a glimmer of hope after a very bleh/hopeless day yesterday.
Welcome @chichiphin ! Glad to see you back here again! And it sounds like you’re crushing the work attire- she has amazing style! @nolemomma14 wow good luck in your race! Very impressive- I hate running haha @brookert615 I personally hope AF doesn’t show up for you @marebear15 sorry about your migraine yesterday, they’re awful! Glad you’re feeling better. And welcome back to TWW! @Sparty18 yessss girl 💅🏼💁🏼♀️ @asupernovablizzardstorm ugh I’m sorry about the sleep and dog. Has something changed recently that might be causing her to do that? @literatureandink it’s amazing how much commuting can take out of you and I’m sorry you’re struggling. But yessss for brunch! @queenie_b that’s a really tough situation. Agreed with PP on just letting her know you support her and are always there to talk when she needs to.

Welcome @chichiphin ! Glad to see you back here again! And it sounds like you’re crushing the work attire- she has amazing style!

@brookert615 I personally hope AF doesn’t show up for you
@marebear15 sorry about your migraine yesterday, they’re awful! Glad you’re feeling better. And welcome back to TWW!
@Sparty18 yessss girl 💅🏼💁🏼♀️
@asupernovablizzardstorm ugh I’m sorry about the sleep and dog. Has something changed recently that might be causing her to do that?
@literatureandink it’s amazing how much commuting can take out of you and I’m sorry you’re struggling. But yessss for brunch!
@queenie_b that’s a really tough situation. Agreed with PP on just letting her know you support her and are always there to talk when she needs to.
@brookert615 FX for a longer LP!
@marebear15 You below here 😊
@Sparty18 Nothing crazy that I can think of that would have impacted temps. FX! Hopefully, that was IB yesterday.
@asupernovablizzardstorm Sorry about the sleep. That’s so frustrating.
@literatureandink Boo for commuting but yay for brunching!
@queenie_b That’s a tough situation. I agree with @marebear15 though - we’re here for you!
