Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: maybe tomorrow or Friday
R/R: still dealing with sinus congestion. Probably should have stayed home from work since I'm so tired.
CS/Q: I had a big drop this morning. I did only sleep with 1 blanket last night instead of 2 so maybe that explains the drop in temp. I've gotten dips before, but I need to check other months for when they occur. I'm trying not to read too much into it since I've been sick since Monday.

R/R: Busy day yesterday so didn't get a chance to post in the dailies but today should be much slower.
Rave: New countertops are going in tomorrow!! EEK!
Rant: I have to clean out all the cabinets tonight
CS/Q: What are the chances that I'm actually O'ing on CD16/17 and just get a delayed temp rise? Is that possible?
Testing: Nope. Nope. Nope.
R/R: HUMP DAY!! Or as I frequently like to say, another day, another dolla! DH was so cute last night - he called me (which he rarely does on his work trips now) and we ended up talking for over 1.5 hours! Nothing too substantial, but it’s still nice to chat with your best friend! 😍
CS/Q: Maybe tomorrow (or maybe not...)
@nomangos23 YAY for your new countertops! They make such a difference in your kitchen! Sorry you have to clean out all the cabinets though. That part sucks so bad. Can you leave all the stuff in the uppers at least?
@nomangos23 yay for new countertops! What kind did you all get?
@lillywonderland so cute about YH! Mine typically calls me on his work trips but I tend to try and keep them short...what can I say, I love the alone time not talking to anyone
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 15/? 3ish
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-15
Testing: nah
R/R: rant and rave - DH is back from his work trip! Of course I missed him, but I also reallllly liked having a clean downstairs. And watching whatever I wanted without judgement (I can't help that I love all the cheesy Netflix originals)
CS/Q: I don't know what's going on. I still don't think I O'd on CD11 but FF put the CH there again today. It still doesn’t like the temps in relation to my +OPK haha. The only way I can get it to move is if I put in a low temp on CD12, then it'll give me solid CH for then. Oh well. Trying not to obsess over it, I’ve already O’d so what’s done is done!
ETA chart
@b_1029 I love watching shows without judgment when MH is out of town too, glad I’m not the only one! Have you watched “To All the Boys I’ve loved” on Netflix already?
@nomangos23 a little early but my cycles are typically 26 days. I usually O around 12-13 so 11 wouldn't be out of the question, just seems odd that I didn't get a +OPK that day. Then again, I only tested in the afternoon that day so I could've just missed the beginning of the surge.
@nomangos23 to me you ovulated CD18. Why are all your DPO temps open circles?
Make sure you share a pic of your new counter tops!
@lillywonderland Good for you for having such a long conversation with your H. I don't think I could with mine. The guy LOVES to talk and sometimes I need a break
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 27 / 10
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: BFN this morning. It is still super early though and I have pretty low expectations this cycle. I just have 50+ HPTs and they need to be used lol.
R/R: We had snow overnight and the roads were icy this morning. I slowed down a bit and felt like I was slightly losing control of the car. This scared the shit out of me and I drive super slow! Did I also mentioned it's a brand new car and I am scared someone will damage it this winter?
CS/Q: Temps still elevated but this is normal at this DPO
10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml)
11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged
1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele

12/23/2021: BFP! EDD: 08/31/2022
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: "Good" per FF
Typical LP length: not sure right not, too soon off of IUD
Testing: Maybe 9 DPO I'll start
R/R: WTF is with the fly-by's today? I'm still fighting my cold, and I finally gave into an Advil today to ease the symptoms. My attention span at work has been that of a nat, and I need to get work done.
CS/Q: none
@rikiteacup Having a slight moment of losing control is awful, and smartens me up for the snow season. Terrifying feeling.
@b_1029 I'd guess CD13-14 too. Have you tried other predictor methods to see what it says?

@rikiteacup: I'm in the south, and people in big SUV/Trucks here do that, too. Like, buddy, your 4 tires will slide on black ice the same as my two-wheel drive will. Plus, they forget their center of gravity will make it even worse!
Month/Cycle: 4th cycle
CD/DPO: 27/6
Timing: could have been better
Typical LP length: 11-12 days
Testing: FF and Ovia both suggest next Monday or Tuesday (which is when AF is due if truly 11 days)...I may wait until Wed, if AF stays away. The 11 day LP was based off of one well-documented cycle, but I'm not sure that's real. We'll see if I can keep from POAS, though. I get worse and worse with SS as I get closer to AF.
R/R: Werk werk werk werk. That's all. But rave: my sweet DH sent me the nicest little text today about how much he appreciates everything I do around the house and for the family. Which was super sweet.
CS/Q: None right now.

Month/Cycle: 7/5
CD/DPO: 29/3
Timing: -5,-3,-1
Typical LP length: 15ish days
Testing: Going to try and hold out for next Thursday, 11DPO
R/R: Rave: Crosshairs this morning! Really hoping I get to keep them. I usually get another temp spike after 2-3DPO. Rant: I wish the bump gods did frown on us referring one off crazies to BC when realistically that’s more of what they’re looking for! Hugs to anyone that was hurt by the nonsense that was posted today.
CS/Q: Wishing we had better timing - we were on a roll for a while but then O was delayed (or never happened) and H and I were apart a few nights. Clomid starts next cycle if this one’s a bust and my H is scheduling a SA so I at least feel like we’re moving in some direction.
@PugMum I was totally on the comparing chart train last week, too. I am amazed that I didn't POAS sooner than this morning.
@lcking82 that is so sweet of your DH! Mine just spams me with dog gifs. Which I don't hate.
@rikiteacup sorry about the BFN this morning. I am still hopeful for you!
@b_1029 welcome home to your H! I get what you mean about watching what you want. Anytime H is out of the house I am thrilled that I don't have to listen to soccer and football talk!
@lillywonderland that's sweet of your H to call. Hope he has a safe trip home!
@inthewoods23 feel better soon! Good luck with testing, I am crossing my fingers for you.
@nomangos23 hooray for new counter tops! I would love to replace mine, but they really don't need it. "They're ugly and I am sick of them" isn't a good enough reason to convince DH to spend the $$. Not that he spends any time in the kitchen, mind you.
And I would just like to add hugs for anyone who was hurt by all this nonsense on the board today. 💚💚💚
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 32/12
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1
Typical LP length: 11-14 days
Testing: Not again, just POAS this morning to confirm that I wasn't KU. Still spotting, AF should show her ugly face tomorrow. Of course all of my usual AF symptoms messed with my mind and stayed away until today. Jerkfaces.
R/R: Thank you ladies for comforting me yesterday and all the support while I learned to chart. I will probably be heading over to WTO tomorrow, but I'll be lurking and keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.
CS/Q: My temp is still up which I know is normal since CD1 hasn't arrived, and I am refusing to let it mess with my head. I am hoping 10/11 days isn't too short for an LP though.
@b_1029 I was literally not doing anything for the first 45 minutes of the call, then I realized I have freakin Bluetooth headphones so I put them in and then proceeded to clean all my dishes and do some meal prepping while chatting with him.
@rikiteacup SNOW?!? Ahhh! Good luck driving in it with the new car! Be super careful!
@pugmum I hope you start to feel better soon!
@icking82 YH = 😍 How sweet of him!
@emeraldduchess I’m so sorry, I was rooting so hard for you. All the hugs for you today!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23/? I’m thinking 11 but apps say 7.

Testing: Guilty.
R/R: A Christmas gift I’ve had my eye on for someone was out of stock when I finally decided to buy it A rave is DH finally has his schedule for the holidays so I can plan allllll the things!!!! 🎉
CS/Q: Nothing new. I guess I need to figure out FF & start temping next month. I’m usually so regular I didn’t see the need for it but this cycle proved me wrong!
