Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: This weekend

R/R: Mondays! I’m already looking forward to the weekend, is that bad?! 😂

CS/Q: No questions. I stopped temping last week, but I checked this morning, and I’m still High, which is good.

holly321 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 21/3 post bench

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: decent

Typical LP length: 15 days

Testing: daily with crappy tests. They had good ratings but aren’t sensitive, 50 is their level I believe. So while I could normally accept a bfn, this is just playing mind games with me. I will be buying another brand for next month.

R/R: Lots of crappy things and now work! My boss is out of town, and while I harbor no ill will towards her, i love the solitude.

CS/Q: my chart is full of spikes. I think next cycle I am going to try to not temp during TWW

chichiphin · October 2018

@holly321 ugh I understand not wanted to pay for a FRER, but are you planning to get one soon? Enjoy the solitude with your boss gone
@cpiper39 glad the temp is still high!

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: great

Typical LP length:9

Testing: my doc ordered a beta with all of my other "day 21" tests, so I guess today even though it will be negative

R/R: Rave: MH's SA results will be in today! Quick turn around. and my blood work is today too, so I expect those results to be back to my doc tomorrow or the next since I am using their outpatient lab. Rant: I already think I'm out. I feel like bloated, crampy sh*t. had night sweats. nausea woke me up. I had ONE glass of red wine last night and apparently this is my hell to pay.

CS/Q: temps on the decline, plus all of my sh*tty symptoms this morning.

holly321 · October 2018

@chichiphin good luck with all your tests, FX for good results. Sorry you feel crappy! I tried to buy a FRER last night, but the store was out. My temps low this morning, so I guess it is for the best.

cpiper39 · October 2018

@chichiphin FX on the tests today! That was quick on the SA too - relieves some of the waiting. You’re still above CL, so don’t get too down on yourself today.

@holly321 It’s always nice for a break from the boss sometimes, even if you get along well. Sorry about the BFN and temping anxiety. Especially since your temps haven’t been stable, I wouldn’t call yourself out yet.

yelyah4826 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: ?

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: going to try and hold off until AF is due

R/R: Rave- I ate on plan yesterday and had a short jog so I'm so pleased with myself! Keeping motivation can be soooo tough sometimes!

elle-0409 · October 2018

@cpiper39 It feels like this Monday is especially Monday-ish. Hopefully, the weekend gets here soon!

@holly321 Enjoy the solitude! Sometimes it's just nice to be left alone. And your chart still looks good!

@chichiphin It's great that you'll get the results back so quickly! FX that it all goes well. And I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. You are still above the cover line so don't count yourself out yet!

@yelyah4826 Good for you! I wish that I had some of your motivation right now.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/6

Timing: FF says "Good."

Typical LP length: 7-8

Testing: Not today, Satan.

R/R: Rant: Dear Mother of God, I am still sick. If this doesn't go away in the next day or two I'm going to take another trip back to the doctor. Rave: My husband and I had our anniversary dinner last night at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and I ate too much and almost died. After dinner, we went to Barnes & Noble and I bought some books and a French Vogue with a feature on the 90's-era supermodels. Books make me so happy!

CS/Q: My chart looks so sad during my LP. It's just lazily falling down.

MotherofDragons · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 15/3

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: 11

Testing: I don’t think I’ll test unless I’m late.

R/R: I was caught off guard by ovulating so early. But my chart shows a definite shift. I’m just happy I appear to have ovulated after a few iffy months (2 for sure anovulatory).

CS/Q: - -

inthewoods23 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 16/15

CD/DPO: 27/2

Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: I might next week Thursday... But we'll see

R/R: long rant - (TW child mentioned) the onesie party ended up just me being in a onesie at my friend's house. Apparently earlier in the day my friend had shown her DD a picture of the Boogeyman from a movie and so when it was time for bed she was crying and scared about going to bed so they had to comfort her to get her to sleep. Their onesies were either in her room or her attached bathroom so they didn't want to try getting them. Which was fine anyway. Most of the night was telling friend and her fiance about my SIL's BF who does not have a lot of good qualities (if you want my honest opinion he has none...). We have a lot of weird experiences with the BF. DH and I are actually probably leaning towards rejecting being in the wedding party if their relationship gets to that point because we do not like who he is as a person, even if he does make SIL happy (or so she says).

CS/Q: my app comfirmed an O date of Saturday after I entered this morning's temps! I never did enter that 4AM temp of 97.35 to see what it would say. I'm kind of curious!

queenie_b · October 2018

@cpiper39 Hope this weekend is worth the wait! Keeping my FX for you!

@holly321 Sorry to hear your tests aren't giving you confidence FX there will be no need to buy more for next month!

@chichiphin Yay for quick turnaround on the tests! Hope the results are good!

@yelyah4826 Glad you are finding some motivation! Sounds like you had a very successful day! FX it continues this week for you!

@elle-0409 Happy anniversary! Your date last night sounds perfect! Hope he liked the toiletry bag!

@Motherof Dragons Yay for ovulating! Hope your chart continues to have good signs!

@inthewoods23 Sorry to hear about your SIL's BF - that sounds like a really unfortunate situation. Happy your chart is looking good!

Month/Cycle 4/4

CD/DPO 26/13

Timing -3,-1,0, +1

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: BFN Saturday, signs of AF so not unless I am late

R/R: Feeling energized this morning, I have a bunch of running around to do today and tomorrow for work so I am happy I am not dragging! Plus it will be 72 here today so trying to enjoy the (probably) last day of warm temperatures.

CS/Q: Chart in spoiler.

rikiteacup · October 2018

@holly321 50 is pretty hight for a HPT! I would get a cheap Dollar Store one if you don't want to splurge for a FRER
@chichiphin FX all your test results are good!
@yelyah4826 you can be proud of yourself for meeting all your fitness goals! It's not that easy.
@elle-0409 Happy anniversary! Hopefully you feel better soon. It's the season of nasty stuff so it's good you are being proactive.
@Mother0fDragons Yay for ovulation!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 18 / 1

Timing: -5, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: Nope

R/R: We are hopeful this TWW. My H was gone during most of my fertile window but I ovulated 2 days later than the last 2 cycles (thank you body!). Also, the timing we had might be better for someone with low sperm count. H is also noticing a difference since taking all the FertilAid pills.

CS/Q:

coffeeandcookies84 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Typical LP length: my guess is 10-11ish

Testing: meh

R/R: DH finished up his last class over the weekend! He’s been in school every other weekend for the past 18 months so it’ll be so nice to have him around on weekends again. Also we’ve got leftovers packed for lunch and dinner is planned for tonight. Winning today so far!

cpiper39 · October 2018

@yelyah4826 Yay for staying with your goals!

@elle-0409 So glad you had a good anniversary

@"MotherofDragons " Glad you ovulating!

@inthewoods23 Ugh, sorry about your SIL's BF. That's a tough situation.

@queenie_b Yay energy!

@rikiteacup Glad you are hopeful

@montee1917 Woohoo!

coffeeandcookies84 · October 2018

@cpiper39 I feel you on the Monday!

@holly321 I finally have a great boss, but I also get a bit excited when she’s away for the day or on holidays. Probably doesn’t help that I’m super introverted. Also your chart still looks good!

@chichiphin good luck with all your upcoming tests and results!

@yelyah4826 nice work! I have my meals planned for the week, but I’m lacking on workouts. It’s a hard balance!

@elle-0409 your dinner sounds delicious! Also, the bookstore is my favourite. I’m not much of a shopper, but I can browse for hours and spend all my monies at a bookstore.

@Mother0fDragons yes for ovulation!

@inthewoods23 yay for ovulation! Sorry your onsie gathering was a bust! At least you were comfortable

@queenie_b your chart looks really good! Glad your motivation and energy is still high. Maybe a good sign!

@rikiteacup wow! Your timing is amazing!

chichiphin · October 2018

@holly321 you aren't out yet my friend, and fx it stays that way
@elle-0409 jeeze that is a rough cold

happy anniversary though!
@Mother0fDragons @inthewoods23 glad you both have confirmed O!
@queenie_b fx for that good lookin chart
@rikiteacup fx for your timing!!
@montee1917 congrats to YH & yay for those rising temps

tinybluesprite · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -1, +1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Still a week away

R/R: Absolutely hellish month! So being as I can't see a fertility doctor until I get new insurance in January, I've been taking all kinds of supplements that are supposed to help, including a "conception" multivitamin with megadoses of all the vitamin B's. Last two weeks, I've been feeling horrific, dizzy and light-headed, shaky, and with insane break-outs (which I didn't initially connect with the rest). It got so bad, I went to urgent care. Turns out I have toxic levels of the vitamin B's. So that's been fun... watch out for what's in your supplements, they're not always healthy! This also resulted in my hormone levels all being out of whack so I have no idea if this month is a total wash. Apologies for the long rant, I am just so sick (literally and figuratively) of this nonsense. Signing up for the best insurance I can afford as soon as the marketplace opens so I can go see a professional.

mamanbebe · October 2018

@cpiper39 Hooray for temp staying up! Any plans for next weekend yet?
@holly321 I'm sorry about the bfn, I hope your week gets a little better with your solitude at work.
@chichiphin Good luck with all the testing today. Do you normally have those symptoms before AF?
@elle-0409 Sorry you're still not feeling well but happy anniversary! Does your chart usually do the slow decline like that?
@MotherofDragons @inthewoods23 Congrats on O!
@queenie_b Your chart looks good! FX!
@rikiteacup Yay for late O! Glad you had better timing than you expected this cycle

@montee1917 Having leftovers ready to go for lunch is one of the best feelings sometimes. Glad you and your H will get to have more time together going forward

@tinybluesprite Sorry about your toxicity, you definitely have to be careful with vitamins and supplements. Does your current insurance allow visits to a naturopath? I only ask because sometimes you can see a naturopath who specializes in fertility and have it covered as a specialist office visit -- and they do full blood panels to check hormones, thyroid, etc, and can advise you on how to move forward with supplements. This is what I'm doing at the moment.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 9-12

Testing: WFAF or next week, depending on chart temps

R/R: Rant/ It is so rainy outside and our yard is an absolute disaster. We did not clean it up before the autumn rain started, so we need to hire someone to do it for us. Rave/ I feel so much less stress the past few days after loosening up my schedule a bit! Even my resting heart rate is starting to even out. Excited at the prospect of getting to the gym this week AND my infrared sauna visit!

CS/Q: I've been using fertility tinctures since CD14 that have vitex in them, in addition to other herbs. I'm interested to see how this affects my temperatures.

It's interesting using a few different BBT and charting sources. Kindara only goes to the 10th, so my temps look non-progressive. Clue goes to the 100th, and you can see a definite rise, continuing. BUT my Oura Ring is detecting a more sensitive change in my BBT and I can see the curve is more dramatic than my thermometer and Clue are providing so far. Spoiler for Kindara/Clue differences.

elle-0409 · October 2018

@queenie_b Enjoy that warm weather!! I wish I had your energy.

(And good memory re: the toiletry bag! He loved it.)

@rikiteacup I'm glad that you had good timing and that your DH is noticing a difference with the FertilAid pills.

@montee1917 It's wonderful that your DH will be able to have his weekends free again.

@tinybluesprite I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully, you feel better soon and January brings you lots of positive changes.

@mamanbebe This is my first time temping, so I'm not sure if it normally does a slow decline. I think my body wants to start AF (she should be here either Wednesday or Thursday), but the progesterone supplements I'm on are doing their best to prevent that. So, I guess we'll see what happens. I'm happy that you are feeling less stressed! Have you gone to an infrared sauna before? I've read up on it a little bit.

inthewoods23 · October 2018

@mamanbebe I'm definitely in need of some food since I read the word "clue" on the chart as your temp curve when I first scrolled down. *Facepalm*

mamanbebe · October 2018

@elle-0409 FX that the progesterone does it's job

I have not gone to infrared sauna before but my pilates instructor peaked my interest earlier this year, telling me a bit about the benefits. I'm excited to give it a try!
@inthewoods23 hahaha, get yourself fed!

chichiphin · October 2018

@mamanbebe I'm so glad you have found ways to de-stress. That's awesome. And you know what, no I normally don't have these wicked PMS symptoms at all. AF just shows after about one really bad cramp session on day 9. My body has yet to prove consistent tho so I won't read in to anything!

emeraldduchess · October 2018

@mamanbebe I am so glad that you feel less stressed. Keeping on taking care of yourself! 💚 Can I ask what an infrared sauna is?
@tinybluesprite that's scary about you vitamin B levels. I hope you are able to turn that around and feel better fast!
@montee1917 I am very jealous of your leftovers for lunch. Sounds much better than my carrots, pita bread and cheese stick!
@rikiteacup that's great that your body waited until your H got home and that he is noticing a difference. FX for you!!
@queenie_b enjoy those nice warm temperatures today! We had a cold snap last week that I am still not over.
@inthewoods23 I totally saw the word "clue" too.
@Mother0fDragons, glad to see you over here!
@elle-0409 happy anniversary! Love the "not today, Satan" comment. I definitely needed that chuckle.

@chichiphin good luck with all that bloodwork! You are definitely not out yet this cycle either! Crossing everything for you!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/3

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 11-14 days

Testing: I hope I can wait until November 7 or 8. It might be a little easier to hold off this cycle because I want to stall any disappointment. I would almost rather wait until Friday of next week so I can have the weekend to process my feelings, whatever they are.

R/R: It's Monday, so I don't think I need any other rant than that. My rave is that in just two days, Halloween candy goes on sale!

CS/Q: FF gave me crosshairs this morning! *does the Snoopy dance* Looks like O was on Friday like I thought. Now to decide if I want to keep temping for the rest of this cylce or just pick up again after AF arrives. Not sure which would cause less anxiety.

mamanbebe · October 2018

@emeraldduchess Hooray for crosshairs! Infrared saunas are indoor saunas that emit infrared, radiant heat to warm the surrounding air. Supposedly they can help with reducing inflammation and pain, detoxification, improving skin, stress & anxiety, insomnia, digestion, etc.

MotherofDragons · October 2018

@cpiper39 I was ready for next weekend before I went to bed last night. You’re not alone.

@chichiphin Wow, pretty amazing turnaround of results. Glad that worked so quickly for you guys.

@yelyah4826 Good job staying on plan!

@elle-0409 Sorry for your lingering sickness. Those are the worst.

@inthewoods23 oh, that’s lame. I’m sorry it turned out to be like that.

@montee1917 Oh, that’ll be so nice to get all your weekends back with your H. I used to work weekends (quit about a month ago) and it was so amazing having that time back together. Enjoy it!

@tinybluesprite That’s pretty terrifying. I’m glad you figured it out. I hope you’re able to get something decent through the marketplace.

Side note, I strongly dislike mobile bumping. I’m dizzy from scrolling up and down. Ugh.

queenie_b · October 2018

@rikiteacup Welcome to TWW! Hope your body continues to decide to cooperate with you!

@montee1917 hope you plan some fun dates with YH! Glad your week is off to a good start!

@tinybluesprite I'm sorry to hear your vitamins aren't agreeing with your body. Hope you are able to find a great doctor soon!

@mamanbebe I glad to hear you are feeling less stressed! Hope your weekend gym and sauna plans work out - sounds wonderful!

@emeraldduchees sorry to hear about the cold weather, I know I am due for some soon. Hope you figure out what is best for you with charting and testing!

cpiper39 · October 2018

@mamanbebe Nothing yet, but I just got off the phone from a 7pm meeting, so I’m ready! That’s so weird about the different apps. I’m surprised Kindara doesn’t do 100ths 🤷‍♀️

mamanbebe · October 2018

@cpiper39 they claim it’s not needed for Fahrenheit but that it may be added at some point. I wish they did though because rounding does make trends look more severe.

nolemomma14 · October 2018

@cpiper39 I’m always looking forward to the weekend lol. Glad your temp is staying high!

@holly321 sorry the brand you’re using isn’t great! Enjoy your boss being out of town!

@chichiphin I hope all of your test results come back quickly like your H's!

@yelyah4826 Way to go with the eating plan and running! The weekend always seems to be my downfall in staying healthy lol

@elle-0409 I hope you're better soon! Your dinner sounds amazing, love Ruth's Chris! Enjoy your new books, and Happy Anniversary!

@MotherofDragons Glad that it looks like you O'd this cycle!

@inthewoods23 Sorry the night didn't go quite as planned. That stinks about your SIL and the BF! It's tough seeing a family member with someone that the rest of the family doesn't care for much

@queenie_b I hope you enjoyed the weather today!

@rikiteacup So glad the timing worked out well for you this cycle!

@montee1917 Yay for your H being done with classes! I bet it'll be so nice to have him back on weekends!

@tinybluesprite I'm sorry you can't get in to see the fertility doctor yet. I hope you can get in with one soon

@mamanbebe Hope the weather is better soon! Enjoy the gym and sauna this week!

@emeraldduchess I love when the Halloween candy goes on sale! I stock up on the Reese's pumpkins!

nolemomma14 · October 2018

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/ 12

Timing: Decent

Typical LP length: Not Sure

Testing: Picked up some FRER yesterday, was going to test this morning, but felt super bloated and had cramps. Pretty sure AF will be arriving in the next few days

R/R: It was a busier Monday than usual, but at least I was productive. Got a workout in the morning, and now I'm enjoying a delicious cupcake. It all evens out, right!? lol

CS/Q: I downloaded FF since that's what the majority of the board uses. Input all of the data I had (just when my cycles started for the last year). Going to use it going forward

queenie_b · October 2018

@nolemomma14 of course it evens out! Good luck testing!

yelyah4826 · October 2018

@tinybluesprite oh no! Thankfully you went to see the doctor!! Hoping you feel better soon
