b_1029 · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 12/13

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 13-15

Testing: not till at least next Saturday

R/R: I have a consult with a hand/wrist specialist and I’m kind of nervous. Also annoyed because as soon as I made the appointment a couple weeks ago, it seems like my wrist doesn’t hurt as much? So now I’m worried I’m wasting money. Rave- looking forward to a low key date night with DH tonight! Margaritas from our favorite spot, maybe some queso and guac if we’re feeling crazy, cooking dinner, and watching Manifest!

CS/Q: I took my temp this morning and it seemed very low, so I took it again immediately after and it was .6 higher. Seems weird to me?

heml · November 2018

@b_1029 I may have missed it... what happened with your wrist? Recent injury or it just started hurting? Enjoy your queso and margs. sounds like an excellent Friday night.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20/3 (got my CH today so moved over from WTO)

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Going to try to WFAF, as she's due the day before Thanksgiving

R/R: I'm heading to Orlando today with MH to hangout with my BFF from college. We're going Epcot Food & Wine and Harry Potter World, and I'm SO stinking excited. I need to always plan vacations during TWW (except then we couldn't afford a kid, ha)

CS/Q: Nope

b_1029 · November 2018

@heml I hurt it a while ago, like the end of March, being stupid at the gym. Went to PT for a while but it hasn’t fully healed yet except for my lack of pain now that I have this appointment. Go figure haha.
So jealous of your Orlando trip, sounds awesome! Have so much fun!

marebear15 · November 2018

I'm still here, y'all!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 35/13

Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

Typical LP length: 12 is my longest

Testing: this morning was a BFN, so my unicorn is half-broken

R/R: Last day of work before a 3 day weekend!!!! So excited to have a day off. Probably going to make Christmas cookies and watch Hallmark all day.

CS/Q: Got my temp rise and more than I needed for CHs!!! Now does anyone have any suggestions for a later O day? I didn't do anymore OPKs and I got discouraged and didn't really check CM anymore because I often have EWCM about 2 days before AF.

b_1029 · November 2018

@marebear15 hmmmmm I’m the worst chart interpreter, but I could see either CD26 or 28 since most of the temps you’ve taken since then have gotten progressively higher?

marebear15 · November 2018

@b_1029 - I hate when I make appointments for something and then it almost seems unnecessary by the time it comes around.
Are you taking your temp orally or vaginally? Could it just have been in a weird spot when you took it? Do you completely trust your thermometer?
Also, thanks for checking my chart. I was thinking about CD26 since that spotting looks good for implantation there. CD28 would make the spotting probably just break through bleeding or something less hopeful.

@heml - Yay for CHs and welcome back! Harry Potter World sounds fun and will make the TWW fly by!

lcking82 · November 2018

@marebear15: maybe CD30? It doesn’t look as likely though. But yay for a half-alive unicorn?!?

@heml: JEALOUS of your fun plans!!

@b_1029: agree that margs sound AWESOME. Not at all the same, but whenever I finally schedule a hair appt, my hair always looks good for the days leading up to it...hope you can get answers on your wrist!

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 29/8

Timing: not nearly as good as some of y’all. I’m always amazed at some of these charts. #exhausted

Typical LP: 11ish

Testing: FF suggests Monday, Ovia suggests Tuesday. I have no tests in my house right now, and I’m going to try and avoid testing until Tues/Wed if AF stays away.

R/R: I’m back today at the same “govt hospital” today to credential - yesterday they didn’t have all my stuff together (although they said they did). But rave: I’m looking forward to a really low-key weekend.

CS/Q: none right now. Just trying to stay busy and keep my mind off “symptoms.”

b_1029 · November 2018

@marebear15 I’m still doing orally this month. I switched sides of my mouth and that seemed to do the trick? Maybe I can’t jam it under my tongue as far on one side? No clue lol. Still have my FX for you!

marebear15 · November 2018

@b_1029 - I remember someone saying that when she temps on one side it's always lower than on the other side? And this is why I temp vaginally lol.

inthewoods23 · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 16/15

CD/DPO: 38/13

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

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: might bring a test with me for tomorrow when we're out of town. Nothing more romantic than revealing you're KU to YH in a Super 8 hotel room

assuming AF doesn't arrive of course.

R/R: hurray weekend! Also I'm about 90% over this crappy congestion! Woohoo! And it snowed overnight and will during the day today! Yay snow!

CS/Q: Looks like @marebear15 and I are in a race to see who ends up with a BFP or AF first. No AF for me yet, but I did have a bit of a temp drop again

not as low as 2 days ago, so maybe there's still hope. If not, AF will show today or tomorrow I bet.

PugMum · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: Unknown at this point, regulating from IUD
Testing: Started today, because

BFN, obvs
R/R: See above.
CS/Q: None today

@marebear15 Keep riding that unicorn, I think you O'd much later

daisy0322 · November 2018

@heml Epcot is my favorite Disney park! I hope you have a great time

@b_1029 let us know how the hand doc goes...I loved mine I actually had trouble do PT this summer for a dog bite on my finger and I was surprised how much went into it!

@PugMum Are you doing anything to help regulate your cycle? Someone suggested accupuncture to me but I'm not sure about it

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -4, ,-2, -1
eta: i think I ovulated later than predicted encause typically i should be having light cramps by now since I usually have (26ish days) cycle in the past.

Typical LP length: unknown ATM

Testing: I'll wait until my period is about a week late. I've not had one in awhile so I'm not sure how long my cycle even is these days.

R/R: Full house inspections on the house were looking at buying tomorrow! I'm super excited.... so far all our added inspections have gone really well.

CS/Q: n/a Im not that educated on this yet

lillywonderland · November 2018

Month/Cycle: 6/6 (benched this cycle)

CD/DPO: 20/7ish

Timing: Non-existent

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: Negative, ghostrider

R/R: DH came home last night, so YAY! Then informed me that some asshat hit our BRAND NEW CAR in the airport parking lot while it was parked there. No note. It’s not that bad, but still, man. It’s the principle of the matter. It’s a big enough dent and scratches that you can tell someone knew that they hit it. He’s going to call the insurance and all that jazz.

CS/Q: Not today, broski.

lillywonderland · November 2018

@b_1029 Enjoy your Margaritas!! For dinner are you making fajitas? lolololololol

@heml Enjoy Harry Potter Land! 😁😁

@marebear15 I’m keeping everything crossed for you and your rainbow sprinkle covered unicorn!!

@icking82 Yay for weekends with no plans!

@pugmum I hope you’re resting! Being sick suuuuucks! I hope you feel better!

PugMum · November 2018

@daisy0322 Not at the current moment. We have a long history of TTC..... *TW (loss and child mentioned)

It took us 3 years, diagnosed unexplained IF, a M/C, and finally an IUI to conceive our DD. We tried ALL THE THINGS. After birth, the doctor talked me into an IUD (stupid now that I think about it). I had it in for a year, and just had it removed not long ago. We are currently riding out a few months of natural cycles. I'm not sure I'll go the acupuncture route again, as I didn't really find it helped anything along previously. My cycles have always been fairly consistent, its just the IUD removal which has it a little out of whack. I'm not concerned currently.

daisy0322 · November 2018

@PugMum Im so sorry to hear that! Hopefully IUD wackiness will level out quickly.

littleredm · November 2018

@b_1029 I feel like that's always how it is with doctors. You really need them until you make an appointment and then it's like wait...actually I might be ok. I think it'll be good to go and get an opinion though. Have a great time with YH on your date night!

@heml Hope you have the BEST time in Orlando! It sounds like a really fun vacation.

@marebear15 I'm so happy that you got CH's but sad about the BFN. I'm not great with chart interpretation but I think it's definitely possible you could have O'd on CD 26 instead. It'd still put you within your LP.

@inthewoods23 Hope you have a great weekend. Where are you headed to out of town? Sorry if you've told us before but I can't remember if you have?

@PugMum Hugs to you

@daisy0322 Hope the inspections go well. Buying a house is so exciting!

@lillywonderland UGH! I hate when people don't do the right thing. I wonder if the airport has any camera footage of the parking deck/lot?

Month/Cycle: 11/11 (2 benched out of these)

CD/DPO: CD 19 / 2 DPO

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: too early

R/R: Rave: I just got new curtains and they're beautiful. They add so much to our living room. DH made fun of me and was like "you know you're an adult when you get so excited over curtains."

Rant: My dinner party is tomorrow and I'm freaking out a little bit. There is so much cleaning I have to do and I have to go to the store to pick up ingredients in the rain.

lcking82 · November 2018

@lillywonderland: that's so frustrating!!

nomangos23 · November 2018

Dang this thread is on fire today! I love it!

@b_1029 Girl I swear EVERY time I make a doctor appointment that happens to me. Like whatever ailment I had suddenly decided to clear up the day I had to go to the doc. This is also the case any time I have an IT issue at work. As soon as I walk up to IT there's no problem anymore. They literally think I'm crazy. I have to send them cookies quarterly just for dealing with me. Also, #teamvagtemp here. I got a ton of fluctuation when I temped orally.

@heml That sounds like so much fun!

@marebear15 Boo for the BFN, but YAY for Hallmark and Christmas cookies! I'm thinking maybe 26, but really, 28 looks promising too.

@PugMum Sorry for the BFN today BUUUUTTT there's always tomorrow : D Or if you're like me... tonight, tomorrow morning, tomorrow at noon, tomorrow night, the next morning.... etc. etc.

@lillywonderland Ohhhhh heeelllll naw. That sucks, I'm sorry that happened to you. And a new car too? Ugh. But at least you have something fun planned tonight..... right?

Month/Cycle: 12

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: bah humbug

Typical LP length: 10-13

Testing: Sometimes I do just to waste $$

R/R: Had some blood drawn at my RE this morning and the front desk lady wished me a happy Cry-Day...Instead of Friday....? Maybe a lot of people cry at their offices? Maybe she expects me to cry soon? I realize I'm reading way to much into this but who says that?

Rave: Christmas music on FULL BLAST today and no one can stop me.

also, new countertops went in yesterday and y'all I'm getting sooooooo close to posting the big reveal photos!

CS/Q: Meh

rikiteacup · November 2018

@b_1029 Have fun with your husband tonight! I agree, I would temp vaginally. This is pretty consistent.
@inthewoods23 Get out with that snow! Now the sun is out but it snowed all night. I hate it. It would be nice if the roads would stay dry. Then I'd be cool with snow.
@lillywonderland Assholes! I saw someone hit a car pretty bad in a Target parking lot. It was so bad, they went and parked somewhere else! After finding the asshole car, I took pictures of the licence plate and the damage it did on the asshole car too (it had paint from the other car on the bumper) and left a note. They contacted me and I sent them the pics. Don't know what happened after that but man, the damage was so bad, I couldn't be a witness and do nothing.
@littleredm good luck with your dinner! I am the same way, last minute everything.
@nomangos23 that is so weird! I hope she meant something else because who says that?!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 29 /12

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: BFN this morning.

R/R: I finally sold my 11 y/o car yesterday! I've had a new car for 2 weeks now and couldn't wait to get rid of my old car. It took 1 week and 1 showing.
H and I are off to Chicago for the weekend. Should be fun.

CS/Q: I had a small increase this morning so I tried to compare it to previous charts. Nothing conclusive. If AF is on her way, I should see a significant decrease tomorrow or Sunday.

lcking82 · November 2018

@nomangos23: Cry-day is just WEIRD. I swear, some people are just strange.

b_1029 · November 2018

@nomangos23 I know I need to make the switch because I can't sleep with my mouth closed, and this may be really stupid, but I don't understand...how to do it

inthewoods23 · November 2018

@nomangos23 cry day?? What? I have no idea how I would respond to someone saying that to me!

@littleredm I'm going just north of Sheboygan, WI for a robotics event. DH and I both mentor the high school team we were on as students over 10 years ago. The program is called FIRST Robotics for anyone interested in learning about it!

misshelen86 · November 2018

@b_1029 That seems to be a long time to have wrist pain, probably wouldn’t hurt to get it checked out even if it’s not as bad now. Sounds like a great date night. I love manifest!

@heml Sounds like so much fun and a great distraction during TWW!

@marebear15 Sorry about the BFN. That sounds like a lovely day off you have planned. I think you could have O’d CD26 and then had a fall-back rise. Temps look steady since then.

@lcking82 Sounds great to have a low-key weekend! Enjoy!

@inthewoods23 Enjoy your getaway! Keeping FX for you!

@PugMum Sorry about BFN. Still early, I have hope for you!

@daisy0322 Hope the home inspection goes well!

@lillywonderland That’s awful about YH car!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/9-10?

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 12 days

Testing: BFN this am

R/R: Looking forward to the weekend, although it’s a busy one.. I much prefer low-key weekends with very little planned. Tonight I’m hanging out with my bestie watching chick flicks so at least that will be relaxing and hopefully take my mind off TTC thoughts. Tomorrow is a birthday party and Sunday dinner with in law’s.

CS/Q: I was looking at my chart yesterday and wondering if I ovulated on CD 16 instead of CD 15 as FF predicted. I played around with the chart and re-adjusted the cover line (according to TCOYF). Both charts in spoilers. Would appreciate any input you ladies have!

nomangos23 · November 2018

@lcking82 Right? Thank you! What do you do at the government hospital??

@littleredm oooohhhhh!! Curtains!! Show us a pic?? I'm trying to decide if I want curtains or blinds in my living room. Also, a dinner party?? What are you making? I feel like we would be IRL best friends

@rikiteacup Sorry for the BFN but I see that increase too soooooo... : D Also, what kind of car did you get??

marebear15 · November 2018

@intothewoods23 - Sorry about the temp drop. Let's race our unicorns! lol

@daisy0322 - How are you tracking O?

@PugMum - Thanks for the encouragement.

@lillywonderland - Who does that?? Just scrapes a car and leaves.

@littleredm - Thanks for another vote for CD26. I think I'll park my unicorn on that O day. New curtains is an amazing reason to celebrate!

@nomangos23 - Maybe she meant cryday in a good way, like a good cry? Like why else would she say "happy" cryday. idk, people are weird. Can't wait to see the new kitchen!!!

@rikiteacup - Sorry about the BFN. Your temps look good!

@b_1029 - TMI, but I just slide my undies to the side and slip my thermometer in about an inch. I *sometimes* wipe it off with alcohol afterwards

inthewoods23 · November 2018

kiki047 · November 2018

*lurking*
@marebear15 sorry for the BFN but all things considered, I think later O could be a very real possibility too. Hang onto that unicorn girl, it ain't over yet!
@nomangos23 yaaaaaaaayyyyy counters!! Time for some pretty flowers and throw a cookbook on the counter to "stage" it and post some pics pls!! It feels like forever ago that you were talking about that. Also, seriously who wishes someone a happy cry-day? WTF?
@lillywonderland that's so shitty about your new car!! Ugh. I understand if it was an accident but leave a damn note.

nomangos23 · November 2018

@marebear15 @b_1029 ditto. Or if you're weirded out by germs you can order thermometer covers.

kiki047 · November 2018

@marebear15 @b_1029 @nomangos23 I don't wear undies to bed (gasp!) but yeah, just make sure it's straight and you don't jab yourself sideways lol. I use covers when we're away but I do wipe with alcohol daily. Also, MF is a child and sometimes like to grab it and "pretend" to do a rectal reading (on me) with it. I've threatened to break all his fingers if he tries again.

inthewoods23 · November 2018

@marebear15 I temp orally and yeah... Haven't wiped my thermometer with alcohol for longer than I'd like to admit.... It's only my germs though right? NBD.

nomangos23 · November 2018

@kiki047 When DH hears the beep he sings "tiiiiime to take your temmmmmpper-a-ture"

littleredm · November 2018

@nomangos23 I'm making a cheesy butternut squash pasta with rosemary and sage, a kale salad with dried cranberry and poppy seed dressing (AKA pre-bagged by Kroger but I'll toss it in the dressing and put it in a fancy bowl lol), and roasted vegetable medley or maybe broccoli & cauliflower medley. Haven't decided yet. I was going to make a cheesecake tonight for dessert tomorrow but I'm starting to think maybe I should just buy a dessert and not stress myself to the max. Curtains in the spoiler! Who wishes somebody a happy Cry-day?!? That's just bizarre.

b_1029 · November 2018

🤣🤣 this was actually very helpful and makes me feel better about googling how far to put it in lol!

nomangos23 · November 2018

@littleredm *drooling at desk* Also, just buy the dessert. Curtains are beautiful!!!

rikiteacup · November 2018

@nomangos23 I got a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. Love it so far!

lcking82 · November 2018

@littleredm: that sounds so delicious! I am NOT a cook/baker, so I buy all desserts (or at best, they come from a box mix).

@nomangos23: I'm a physician, and work in the lab.

lillywonderland · November 2018

@littleredm omg, your home and curtains are beautiful!!!! And yes to what @nomangos23 said - just but a dessert or maybe plate of coooooookies. No need to stress yourself out! You’ve done a great job hosting already!

marebear15 · November 2018

@kiki047 - Smart girl! I've jab myself far too many times than I'd like to admit because my undies push it sideways.
@inthewoods23 - I try to wipe my thermometer down at least every other week, hahah. I just hope DH never tries to temp orally with it.
@littleredm - I love the curtains, and you have a beautiful living room!!

inthewoods23 · November 2018

@nomangos23 I used to have an alarm for taking my BC and it had a perfect little tune for DH to sing "take your pill! Take your pill! Take your pill!"
