@daisy0322 Christmas markets are a bunch of little pop up stores (freestanding houses) that are downtown. There are places for food, drinks, shopping, and we have an ice rink/tree too. Lots of fun!
@cpiper39 this TWW flew by for me bc I didn't take my thermometer to the in-laws, so it may be a wise choice to stop temping! @holly321 aww I'm so glad your new kitty is getting along with your other cat. But I'm sorry about the temp drop Month/Cycle: 7
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -2,-1, O
Typical LP length: 9-10
Testing: No FRERs, but tons of cheapies so I'll probably start that torment tomorrow until AF (which is impending bc I'm cramping already)
R/R: glad to be home and in my own bed. But work is still nuts until the next holiday break!
@cpiper39 chart's looking good! Does FF always put O day as the day before temp rise? Or will it adjust based on CM etc?
@holly321 sorry about the temp drop not a great way to start Monday. But that's cute about your cats! My two cats are (occasionally) adorable together.
Month /cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 20/7ish
Timing: B, could have been Better but travel got in the way
Typical LP length: lately 9
Testing: nopenopenope
R/R: I seem to have reached a new level of zen in my TWW. No SS because I accept that it's too early to have symptoms and I'm probably not KU anyway! Plus, I think we might start some testing soon (for my short LP and MH's SA) so that helps too.
Cs/Q: I hope you ladies enjoy lovely mountain views!!
@cpiper39 Hope you had a nice weekend and work goes well for you
today! I feel your pain with the dashed CHs, I hope you get some peace from not
temping
@holly321 I am sorry to hear about the temp drop. Hope you get
lots of kitten snuggles
@chichiphin Pee Party tomorrow? I might be able to make it
though I was going to try to wait until Wednesday haha
@Jennifer_louise I am glad to hear your TWW is a peaceful one.

keeping busy enough to not over think
TTGP November 2018 Siggy Challenge - Thanksgiving Dinner Fails
@cpiper39 Hmm that is strange about FF. I still think CD15 is most likely O date. @holly321 Sorry about the temp drop. But yay for kitties becoming friends! @chichiphin@queenie_b GL with the pee party tomorrow! Hoping for some grads this week @jennifer_louise LOL at mountain views. I’m glad you are feeling extra zen this cycle.

@holly321 Ugh, I'm sorry about your temp drop! But I'm glad the animals are getting along! @chichiphin GL for tomorrow! How was the in-laws? @queenie_b LOL to the pee party! Yeah, dotted lines are annoying... @jennifer_louise Yeah, FF really likes temps opposed to other signs, but it could have been a slow rise. We'll see! Woohoo on zen TWW! @SpongeWorthy That's such a creepy dream... did something happen that you think is causing them? I don't normally remember my dreams, only the super vivid ones.
@cpiper39 I agree, maybe closer to CD15-16, but I'm terrible at interpreting charts! Seems like you had your BD covered so I'm keeping my FX for you!
@holly321 So happy that your new kitty is friendly with your other cat!! Sorry about your temp drop, I'm still thinking good thoughts
@chichiphin There's nothing like being home in your own environment! FX for your testing.
@jennifer_louise Can you please send some zen over here? GL for testing!
@queenie_b Oh my, that is quite the flight! Looks like your timing was good.
@SpongeWorthy That's so crazy about your vivid dreams! Hope that they calm down a bit
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/1?? (pretty sure I O'd sometime over the weekend)
Timing: every flipping day since CD13
Typical LP length: last cycle was 9 so we'll see
Testing: not for a while
R/R: Seriously need a new thermometer for next cycle... I have the cheap pink one from Target and I hate it with a passion. I missed my temp on Sunday and the memory didn't work.
CS/Q: Meh
TTC #1: September 2013, BFP 01/01/14, DS 09/14 TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@daisy0322 - The green boxes are confirmed ovulation, the green outlined boxes are predicted ovulation or fertile window (depending on the shade of green).
@jennifer_louise sometimes I think us short-LP gals have an easier time with the TWW, because we really only have about a 1.2ish WW @queenie_b meet you at the pee party tmrw then! @spongeworthy aren't teeth dreams supposed to mean something - esp if they fall out?? @cpiper39 they were okay. My MIL is still recovering from a surgery so we were all worried about her health more than anything, but she is better today I think @stephanie123456 dang girl HIO every day since 13
@chichiphin right?? Although of course I don't even know how possible it is to get KU with 9 day LP. Plus, I always know AF is coming at least a day early. Add that to my early O, and this whole cycle is basically my TWW.
@cpiper39 I typically don't remember my dreams either. I'm not sure why they have been occurring more frequently the past few days. Maybe the traveling is messing with my sleep too much.
@chichiphin I looked it up, and this is from dreammoods.com:
"To
dream that your teeth has fallen out and you try to refit them back into the
mouth signifies a lack of self-confidence and embarrassment. You are afraid that
others will know of your short-comings. If you acted calmly in your dream, then
it may point to how can make the best out of any situation. You are able to rise
above unfavorable circumstances."
It's just general enough to apply to everybody lol.
@stephanie123456 That sucks about your thermometer. There were some discussions of thermometers in WTO two weeks ago and a few people recommended this thermometer:
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

Apr '19: Letrozole + TI, - BFN. Repeat SA (27mil) & DNA fragmentation test (17%)
@suzycupcake Generally, yes. I might have missed one or two in that week. I had a couple almost positives on PM of CD12 and Noon of CD13, so I may have had a short surge. I had another almost positive on CD 15. I also had weird travel schedule, so I think my body was gearing up for O, then decided to do it a little later. I can’t really do anything about it now, but given I was on a girls’ weekend, I thought I did pretty well tracking!
@SpongeWorthy, I am sorry about the dreams. For me, i seem to get them in spirts for a while and it comes and goes. @daisy0322 good luck with closing, that’s always exciting!
