cpiper39 · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/12

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

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: Tomorrow (almost did today but figured I could go one more day)

R/R: Yesterday, I surpassed my annual work goal!!! I am so excited, especially since the first part of the year was pretty stressful. This is also part of why I didn’t want to test this morning. I’d rather enjoy the day 😊

CS/Q: Nothing new. I did temp this am, and it’s still the same as last week’s rise, which is good. I haven’t been doing daily temping though, so I don’t know all the fluxes I’ve had (which is good).

nolemomma14 · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 28/ ??

Timing: decent

Typical LP length: not sure

Testing: Monday if AF isn’t here

R/R: it’s friday and I’m off today! Going to vote early and I have to take a bridesmaid dress for a fitting, my friends wedding is in a couple of weeks! Dinner out with DH tonight, it should be a great day!!

CS/Q: not really, just waiting to see what this cycle does. My cycles have been ranging from 26-33 days

yelyah4826 · November 2018

@cpiper39 awesome news with the work goal- congrats!
@nolemomma14 enjoy your date night!!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: good ?

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: I did test this morning BFN, but I don't have a strong gut feeling either way, so I'll probably just test until AF or BFP

R/R: Glad all of the halloween treats are gone! (Or at least the ones that tempt me!!) now to try and hope back on the healthy eating and exercise train after being off for a few days! Going to a free yoga class this morning though so that's fun!

coffeeandcookies84 · November 2018

@cpiper39 congratuations! That’s such a huge goal. I’ve always got a 6 month bike room rental at our office. That’s expired now, but my goal for the winter months is barre3 x3. I should get a 10 pass at our gym though for random days. It’s so hard to get motivated, but I always feel so much better!

@nolemomma14 sounds like a great way to end the week!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -2,-1

Typical LP length:10-11ish maybe

Testing: maybe if I make it to 11dpo

R/R: hooray for Friday! This week started out so slow, but then out of nowhere it was Friday again! There’s a work event this evening that I’m thinking of going to for a bit. I also think I’ll take a break from temping for the rest of the cycle just to keep some sanity!

nolemomma14 · November 2018

@cpiper39 way to crush your work goal!! I hope you celebrate it!!

@yelyah4826 sorry about the BFN. Enjoy your yoga class this morning!!

@montee1917 I love when all of a sudden it’s the weekend! Enjoy your work even tonight!

inthewoods23 · November 2018

@cpiper39 way to go on your work goal! That's always a great feeling!

@nolemomma14 yay for date nights! It's a great way to forget about the stress of TTC. Especially in the TWW!

@yelyah4826 yoga sounds lovely! I've always wanted to get into it, but it seems so expensive!

@montee1917 my week feels like it went so fast! Might be due to the fact that every evening this week has had something going on for us. Today I can finally pick up toothpaste that we're low on lol!

Month/Cycle: 16/15

CD/DPO: 31/6

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

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: next week Friday

R/R: I'm alone in my department at work today. I can't decide if I'm happy or sad about that since that leaves only me to answer customer calls. Tomorrow DH and I are going to the nearby Audubon center for their Xtreme Raptor Day event. They have all kinds of owls, hawks, and eagles! It's also where we got married so it has a special place in our hearts. I think it's going to rain all day, but DH loves cloudy, rainy weather so he's fine with it. Me? I just want to be sure I'm warm and dry while we're there!

CS/Q: none, temps are looking ok. Should stay up for about another week. AF due next week Friday.

mamanbebe · November 2018

@cpiper39 Congratulations on exceeding your work goals!
@nolemomma14 Have a nice date night!
@yelyah4826 Way to go on getting back on the healthy eating wagon. It's definitely hard to resist temptation during holiday season but it seems that when keeping healthy outside of holiday feasts, you don't feel so bad about indulging once you're in the thick of it

@montee1917 I hope your temp break gives you some relief this weekend, have fun at your work event!
@inthewoods23 Hope you have a nice outing with your DH tomorrow, that sounds like fun!

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 9-12

Testing: Hoping to get through the weekend without testing. If my temp doesn't go back up will WFAF.

R/R: Rant/ I had a solitary glass of wine last night at dinner and managed to forget to take my antibiotics AND my PM tincture. I also felt way more stressed yesterday than I had for a week so I don't think infrared sauna did much good. Rave/ Have my 7dpo blood work this morning, wooo! Party!

CS/Q: I forgot to take my tincture last night and slept with my covers mostly off. When I temped this morning, it was down considerably. So I'm not sure if any of those played a role. BUT my temp on the Oura Ring was up.. which is interesting.

queenie_b · November 2018

@cpiper39 Congrats on surpassing your work goal! Are you doing anything fun to celebrate?

@nolemomma14 Sounds like you have a busy and fun day! Hope AF stays away!

@yelyah4826 Sorry about the BFN. The yoga class sounds so nice!

@montee1917 Glad your week flew by for you. Have fun at your work event!

@inthewoods23 Your event sounds really interesting. Hope you have fun with the hubby and stay warm!

@mamanbebe Hope the blood work comes back with good results! Sorry you are feeling so stressed and you're body is being confusing, FX your temps are back up tomorrow!

Month/Cycle 4/4

CD/DPO 30/17

Timing -3,-1,0, +1

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: BFN today, again tomorrow if no AF

R/R: Rant: Not doing well keeping my mind busy while playing this waiting game. Rave: Going to see a movie at the dinner theater with DH after work, looking forward to a little date night.

CS/Q: Does anyone think I could have O'd later than FF thinks?

marebear15 · November 2018

*lurking*
@queenie_b - I could almost make a case for CD17 being O day based on temps, but you have Creamy CM marked. It's possible that you have a very long LP (longest normal is 17 days), or that you're a late implanter (longest normal is 12) plus it's taking awhile for HCG to build up in your body. What brand are you testing with?

misshelen86 · November 2018

@cpiper39 Congrats on reaching your work goal! FX for tomorrow!

@nolemomma14 Enjoy your day off and date night with YH!

@yelyah4826 Have fun at your yoga class!

@montee1917 Enjoy your work event tonight! Happy to see your temp come back up!

@inthewoods23 Hope work goes by quickly and you and YH have a great time tomorrow!

@mamanbebe Sorry you were feeling stressed. Hope you take some time this weekend to treat yourself!

@queenieb13 Enjoy your date night! I’m not great with these charts but I think O date looks correct, although maybe CD 15-17 is possible too.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: maybe 11-12 DPO

R/R: Had a nice time visiting with family last night.. I have work to keep me busy the next 2 nights, which is good because I feel like I need the distraction right now.

CS/Q: My chart isn’t looking great so far this month, my temp went down just barely above cover line. But I did get my CH this morning!

queenie_b · November 2018

@marebear15 Thank you so much for the input! My LP has gotten longer since I started traching after stopping hormonal BC but it seemed to have leveled out at 14-15 days for the past 3 months. I have just been using strips I got off of Amazon, ClinicalGaurd is the brand, says it has 25 mlU sensitivity.

mamanbebe · November 2018

@queenie_b I def think you O’d at least a day later than FF suggests. I almost never O on a day with ewcm, usually it’s the next day or two after and sometimes my watery cm seems more creamy during that time before drying up.

@misshelen86 I find those first few dpo are always a little weird temp wise, it’s when your estrogen starts to decline (temp drop) and then progesterone starts to increase (temp rise). I hope everything starts to level out for you soon!

coffeeandcookies84 · November 2018

@queenie_b I’m also wondering if Cd17 is a potential O date. I’m also looking at your open circle from CD7. If that temp was different (closer to your daily time) it may have been slightly higher, which might have moved your crosshairs. Im still learning chart and I’m probably reading too far into it though!

coffeeandcookies84 · November 2018

@mamanbebe good luck with your testing this morning. I think if this month is a bust I might consider buying a Tempdrop (all other products aren’t easily available in Canada). Might help to ease some anxiety too

mamanbebe · November 2018

@montee1917 Thanks! Supposedly the Oura Ring works similarly to Tempdrop in that it accounts for your temperature throughout the night and pulls the BBT from there, so that even with crappy sleep you can still have an accurate depiction. So it's quite possible that it is correct and my oral thermometer was off. FX for some BBT recovery tomorrow. I'm not messing around with forgetting to take stuff today!

wabash15 · November 2018

dirty lurker because I love a good chart stalk****
@queenie_b what happens if you take out your two days of fertile CM? does that switch your crosshairs to CD15 or 17? With the information you put in I would agree with FF, but I could make an argument for CD15 with a slow rise or CD17 based off of temps alone. also not to feed the BSC but it might be worth getting a different test just in case you have a bad batch...

emeraldduchess · November 2018

@cpiper39 congratulations on your workout goal! That's wonderful. FX for you tomorrow with testing!
@nolemomma14 enjoy dinner out with your DH.
@yelyah4826 sorry about the BFN this morning.
@montee1917 I am with you on the slow start to this week. Monday and Tuesday alone felt like an entire week.
@inthewoods23 that raptor event sounds like a great time! I love owls. I know there is one near my house because I hear him/her all the time, but I have never seen it.
@mamanbebe good luck with your bloodwork! I hope you get your results quickly.
@queenie_b enjoy your date night! What are you going to see?
@misshelen86 yay for crosshairs! I hope that your temps keep going up and even out. I got scared when I had a dip at 4DPO but then it went right back up. Don't get too frustrated (easier said than done, I know!)

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/7

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

Typical LP length: 11-14 days

Testing: waiting until next Thursday/Friday

R/R: I am so glad it's Friday, I got my grading finished last night, now I just need to grade a few projects this weekend. Going relax, clean my house, and start knitting my MIL's birthday present. I just need to find some yarn that I know she'll like!

CS/Q: Nope. Temps have been pretty stable the last few mornings, which I assume is good? I gave my DH a crash course in charting last night. Poor guy, he had a bit of an emotional breakdown over ttc because he didn't think that it would take a while or how much planning and timing we have to do. He's worried it won't happen and he'll be disappointing me. I think after I showed him my chart and explained everything, he felt better knowing we did everything we could this cycle.

lcking82 · November 2018

@cpiper39: get it girl! Yay for accomplishing a big goal! FX for testing!
@inthewoods23: that raptor event sounds FASCINATING. Hope it's cloudy (good for looking up at birds, right?), but not cold and rainy!
@mamanbebe : hope that the testing goes well, and you can get some sort of answers.
@queenie_b : agree with others - maybe CD16/17? that's tough.
@misshelen86 : I bet you see it start mountain climbing up tomorrow.
@emeraldduchess : I think it's kind of neat to really go into the science of it all with the SO's. I think high school health class with it's YOU CAN GET PREGNANT mentality is hard to un-learn!

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 22/1

Timing: Ok on timing, but not on quantity

*TW*/TMI

We took our 2 y/o to Disney, and DH got some serious chafing in, um, "sensitive spot". So early FW was in hotel room with toddler (limited activity), and then only managed one session once home (on day -1). Poor thing just couldn't on "O" day, due to the chafing. We're coating it in Vaseline now, and using goldbond powder for any future park-hopping.

Typical LP length: 11-12 days

Testing: ha ha. Way too early.

R/R: I'm tentatively moving over here, based on OPKs. Not temping this cycle (due to too much travel), but CP/CM are tracking right along with the most clear + OPK I've ever gotten. I may be a day early (meaning O today), but both Ovia and FF are suggesting that I'm LP now. I'm going out of town for a short semi-work trip this weekend, but it's with a group of people that I adore, so I'm pretty excited!!

CS/Q: None. Nothing very exciting to look at without temps.

nolemomma14 · November 2018

@inthewoods23 I hope your day by yourself at work wasn't too bad. Enjoy your day with DH tomorrow, it sounds fun!

@mamanbebe I hope your blood work went well this morning!

@queenie_b I'm so sorry you're in the waiting game. I hope you really enjoy your date with DH tonight!

@misshelen86 It's always great to spend time with family, glad you enjoyed it! Yay for crosshairs!

@emeraldduchess what are you going to knit for MIL!? I tried my hand at knitting last Thanksgiving and it did not go well lol. I'm glad DH learned about charting and temping, it sounds like he was happy to learn about it!

@lcking82 sorry about the chafing, hopefully the timing was still good though! I hope you enjoyed Disney!

emeraldduchess · November 2018

@nolemomma14 I am going to knit her an infinity scarf. I have a really easy pattern that knits up quickly. Her birthday is at the end of the month, so I should be able to grt it done in time.

@lcking82 you are absolutely right about how we were taught sex-ed in school. It's frightening how little people are learning about their bodies if that's the only info they get. DH literally had no clue how small the FW. Glad you had a nice vacation in Disney!

queenie_b · November 2018

@mamanbebe @montee1917 @wabash15 @lcking82 thanks for the input! AF showed last night. Still not too sure about the LP length but glad to be out of my waiting game! Removing the CM just gave me dashed lines for CD 13. Will see how it compares this month!

@emeralduchess We saw Bohemian Rhapsody! It was definitely entertaining but I wish it had gone a little deeper, I prefer movies that give me all the feels!

mamanbebe · November 2018

@queenie_b I’m sorry about AF
