R/R: Just three parent conferences left this afternoon and then I am all done! So ready for the weekend.
CS/Q: I think my chart is mocking me.
@brookert615 , have fun st the Christmas party! neither dh or my office allows spouses anymore which is crap, but at least this year they are the same evening so at least it doesn’t take up too much time away from each other.

CS/Q: big temp drop this morning so I'm expecting AF on my trip home. Ugh. Somebody remind me to call my RE if it shows up! I don't want to forget to get the process started for my IUI!

TW with my last pregnancy, my temps never rose at all for a second time, they actually went lower, but maybe clomid was to blame or the issues that eventually caused me to miscarry.
That sounds more negative than I was going for, but it is still early so fx for you!
@inthewoods23 sorry for the temp drop, hopefully you remember to call your RE! And I love Cinnabon, there is one about an hour from us at a mall I go to usually once a year and I always get one there and one to go!
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -2
Testing: After i work this weekend
R/R: hubbys birthday was great last night!
@emeraldduchess I'm sorry about temps! I hope your conference goes well
@brookert615 have fun at the party!
@holly321 I need to get on it with Christmas shopping. Are you almost done?
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 16/ 2
Timing: good
Typical LP length: not sure you
CS/Q: pretty sure I ovulated on CD14 but FF isn't giving me crosshairs and I got a temp increase today but not as high as I expected. I guess it's a guessing game this month
CD/DPO: 14/2
Timing: -1, 0
Typical LP length: 14 I think
Testing: in a week or so
R/R: life is hard lately, but I'm hanging in there. Today sucked because it was bitter cold outside, and my papers came extremely late. So since I share a car with my husband he could only help me deliver part of my route and I had to do the rest myself in my boot.
It wasn't terrible, but I'm exhausted and have my doubts that I will actually get any sleep this morning.
CS/Q: not really
@emeraldduchess sorry for the BFN
@holly321 wtf cat?!!! I hope you have fun with your mom tonight and your headache goes away!
@inthewoods23 Cinnabon sounds heavenly! Have a great date night with YH!
@daisy0322 glad you and YH had fun last night! I’m sure he loved the cake.
@kimmer1412 hmmmm it’s kind of hard to tell O from your chart. Do you temp orally or vaginally?
@projectalice I’m sorry you’re having a bad day. I hope it gets better from here on out! Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?
Month/Cycle: 14
CD/DPO: 18/7
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: next Saturday or maybe before knowing myself
R/R: just really hoping today is better than yesterday, which shouldn’t be hard! DH and I are going out to dinner tonight, which I’m excited for.
CS/Q: just SS like a mofo which is ridiculous given my DPO
CD/DPO: 20/10ish
Typical LP length: 14ish
Timing: B-
Testing: No way, Mister.
R/R: It’s Friday!! Yayayayay! DH informed me yesterday that he has to work the weekend...again! Poor man has worked everyday since Black Friday. Waaaaaah. He thinks it’ll only be 1/2 days, so at least we can go for our ~romantic~ walks together in our neighborhood. Side note: We have a house in our neighboring neighborhood that has a tiny train set up in their yard complete with Christmas lights and trees and inflatables. IT IS EPIC! The owner was there last weekend sitting outside with his cat, watching all the passers-by marvel at his winter train wonderland.
CS/Q:
@holly321 What a bummer they don't allow spouses! Enjoy Christmas shopping with your mom! Stay warm during the parade tomorrow!!!!
@inthewoods23 Thank you!!! Enjoy all of those Cinnabons! Enjoy the extra time with YH!
@daisy0322 Glad YH had a great birthday!
@kimmer1412 I would just wait for another few days of temps. FF does that a lot lol.
@projectalice Sorry you're going through a tough time. Hope you can get a chance to relax!
@b_1029 I just missed you cycle buddy! lol. FX today is a good day for you! Enjoy your date night! Are you going anywhere fun?
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
CD/DPO: 16/3 or 4
Timing: great either way
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: not yet
R/R: I feel pretty good today. My coworker came to me this morning and apologized, which is a start. The staff Christmas party is today which will be fun, but I'm not looking forward to hiding that I'm not drinking. DH and I will do something fun later tonight.
CS/Q: FF changed my cross hairs this morning from solid on CD 12 to dotted on CD 13 because my temp dropped this morning. Still a bit confused/worried about my CM since I only had one day of watery and no EWCM. I'm thinking it's because I'm just fresh off of BCP.
@emeraldduchess Get those parent conferences done and have a nice big cup of your peppermint hot chocolate!! Then settle in for a nice evening of watching Elf and Home Alone!! 🎅🏻
@holly321 So sorry about your peed on puzzle. Cats can be such jerks! But they are soooooo fluffy and cute it kinda makes up for it when they snuggle with you. Have so much fun on your Mommy-Daughter Christmas shopping date!!
@inthewoods23 Yay for Cinnabon!! Those are dangerously good!
@daisy0322 Glad YH’s Birthday was a success!!
@Kimmer123 I suggest switching to vaginal temping after this cycle (obv I hope you get KU and don’t have to) - a lot of ladies have had more success with pinpointing O that way.
@projectalice I’m sorry that you’re having a tough time. Sending you lots of love and sunshine! ❤️
@b_1029 Where are you going to eat and what are you going to get? My FIL is home alone (lol) and wants to take DH and I out this weekend so I need ideas! What sounds good for a free meal...?
ETA I’m looking at their menu right now and it’s pretty small but my top pick is the blackened shrimp po boy. Seafood always sounds good to me!
@lillywonderland HEY LADY! What a bummer YH has to work!!! That's cute you take little walks in the neighborhood! #GOALS (I will totally do that when I move out of my current rental house lolll) How cute about the train set up! DH's Christmas party is casual - everyone is WAY older than us because DH is a mechanic at a school district and they are our parents ages. But man do those old farts know how to party lol. That dress sounds amazing - so sad the zipper broke
@b_1029 Oh, girl enjoy all of that southern food!

Also, sorry in advance if the spoiler doesn't work correctly. Haven't added one before!
Month/Cycle: 23/22
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, +2
Typical LP length: Still unsure. AF still comes and goes as she pleases, even during medicated cycles.
Testing: Trying to wait until at least 10 DPO, but you know I'm going to test this weekend like a psycho. But when you have the cheapies from Amazon...
R/R: LOL
CS/Q: Anyone else only see a tiny rise after O? We were benched this cycle for more testing with a new RE, but I O'd anyway (usually never O on a natural cycle), but not feeling hopeful about it.
ETA mobile bumpin is hard. Chart would not add.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD 29 / 10 DPO (?)
Timing: thought it was good
Typical LP length: last cycle was 8-9
Testing: already got a BFN today so I’m sure I’m out
R/R: Going to my moms house tonight for pizza and to see the Santa float that our city does. Then tomorrow morning we are getting a tree (finally).
CS/Q: another temp drop today. Seriously just waiting for AF over here.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
CD/DPO: CD 16 / 1 DPO
Timing: SMEP
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: nope.
R/R: I have errands to run today but it's so cold outside and wet. Tomorrow is that 20's murder mystery dinner party, I have a dress but trying to figure out what to do with my hair to look 20's (it's super long right now).
@b_1029 lol @ the Grandma comment. Who the eff eats at 9:30? That seems too late, man! I like to have my bra off by 7. I love that you already have perused the menu to let us know what you’re going to get!! The shrimp po boy sounds MMMMMMMMMM.
@brookert615 Party with the old folks, lol. Don’t try to keep up with them - they’ve had more years of experience!! 🤣 Half of the reason why I loved that velvet dress was because I liked feeling myself. Velvet is sooooooo soft.
@oklahomak Welcome! You’re going to love it here - these ladies are the best!! I hope you’re not here for long though!
@holly321 That parade sounds like way too much fun lol. Also, aren't cats the worst sometimes? Ours revenge pees any time I change his food or litter... always in the middle of our bed
@inthewoods23 Your chart was looking so good! Will this be your first IUI? Also, isn't the OKC airport great?! Not the fanciest, but I average 11 minutes from parking my car, getting through security and getting to my gate. That's a win, in my book lol.
@daisy0322 FX for your BFP this evening! Are you itching to get home and test? How were your temps?
@kimmer1412 It's hard to say! It's always so frustrating when your chart doesn't give you an obvious O day!
@projectalice I'm so sorry, friend. This is such a hard time of year anyway, especially when there are additional unwanted circumstances. Sending you good vibes for some peace and relaxation.
@b_1029 Have so much fun on your date! Also, fx for some more symptoms & more steadily climbing temps!
@lillywonderland Boo to husbands having to work weekends! But hopefully your walks are nice - they sound so enchanting!
@themadcamel Your timing really is great! Hopefully that leads to your stay here being short and sweet! Totally understand on the struggle to hide you're not drinking... and also having to admit you're not KU yet when a friend grills you about it.
@stephanie123456 Sorry about your BFN
@littleredm That murder mystery party sounds SO fun! I love that you're dressing up - they are so much better when people really get into them!
@emeraldduchess Sorry for the BFN. Glad all your parent teacher conferences will be done and you can relax this weekend!
@holly321 Have fun Christmas shopping with your mom. Sounds like a fun parade tomorrow! Bundle up!
@inthewoods23 Cinnabon sounds yummy. Hope you and YH have a lovely date night!
@daisy0322 Glad you had fun celebrating YH birthday! Cake looked great!
@kimmer1412 Not sure when you O’d, maybe it will become more clear in a few days?
@projectalice Sorry it’s a rough day. Hope you’re able to relax this weekend!
@b_1029 Enjoy your dinner out with YH!
@lillywonderland That sucks YH has to work this weekend. The winter train wonderland sounds amazing! I love when people go all out with their decorating. And too cute he was sitting people-watching with his cat!
@themadcamel Glad your coworker apologized. Hope you have a wonderful time at the Christmas party!
@oklahomak The cheapies from Amazon are dangerous! I’m embarrassed by how many I’ve used in the last few months. I’m curious, is making Christmas arrangements with MIL a rant or rave? The rise in temp looks good to me!
@stephanie123456 Sorry about BFN. Enjoy the pizza and Santa float. Yay for getting a tree!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: SMEP
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: BFN, now I will just WFAF (should be tomorrow or Sunday)

@emeraldduchess your chart looks good so far. What does it look like before AF? Is the drop sudden?
@holly321 have fun Christmas shopping! What is wrong with your Kitty? They aren't supposed to do that
@inthewoods23 sorry about your temps. Why the open circle?
@daisy0322 good luck testing this weekend
@kimmer1412 I think you ovulated on CD15 and you might only be 1DPO.
@b_1029 I SS like a mofo too
@lillywonderland you need to post a pic of that front yard!
@themadcamel I would say you O'ed either CD12 or CD13. The day of your CM is what's throwing off FF

Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 26 / 9

@lillywonderland Thank you!! Glad to be getting involved, finally.
@misshelen86 I suppose it's both... probably more of a rant right now. She's always planning things around the holidays without considering that we need to visit my side of the family at some point, as well.
I'm sorry about your BFN
@rikiteacup Your temps look good to me!! Hopefully that tenderness isn't for nothing! Fx for your test tomorrow! So much willpower - the second I think I have symptoms I run to POAS... even at 3 DPO lol.
*edited because I should read more thoroughly before posting...
@stephanie123456 Enjoy hanging out at your mom's house!
@littleredm Hope you can get the errands done fast! I hear you about cold and wet weather - BOO! 20's hair is so cute! My SIL does 20's themed hair all the time and her hair is super long, too! Enjoy the party!!!
@misshelen86 Dang girl! I haven't even started shopping LOL.
@rikiteacup Hope you can get a good session in at the gym!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@misshelen86 so sorry for the BFN, friend. Enjoy the party (and your drink!)! All the hugs to you, dear.
@holly321thank you for sharing your experience. Charting is definitely both great and not so great. And wtf to your kitty and the puzzle?? My cat never peed on stuff, but he would make sure I was watching when he knocked stuff off my dresser. Jerk.
@b_1029 enjoy dinner with your H!
@inthewoods23 ooooh, Cinnabon. Brings back memories of being at the mall as a teenager. 😁
@oklahomak I am feeling ok. I don't feel like I am about to get AF except for occasionally sore boobs. Mentally I am ok, too. I want to get off this roller coaster, but I didn't cry this morning, so I guess that's good. I had a smaller rise after O this cycle too, but I am not sure it means much.
@stephanie123456 enjoy your pizza and getting your tree!
@projectalice I am sorry things are difficult right now. Please know that this group is here for you.
@littleredm that 20s party sounds awesome! Please post pics of you outfit, I would love to see it! Love 1920s fashion.
@rikiteacup this is only my second cycle charting. Last month was very up and down post "O" but trended down before AF. (Last cycle's chart in spoiler)
I hope you can get in a good workout today! FX for you when you test tomorrow!!
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@daisy0322 sorry for the bfn!
@misshelen86 sorry for the BFN, hope you have fun tonight!
@emeraldduchess I'm keeping my FX for you. Our charts look really similar for temps after O right now.
@holly321 Wow, your kitty really had a vendetta! Hope you guys have fun tomorrow.
@inthewoods23 OMG I love Cinnabon. That sounds like a most indulgent treat right now. Sounds like you and YH have a fun night planned.
@daisy0322 Glad that YH had a good birthday.
@projectalice Sorry that it's so cold! At least it's Friday
@b_1029 Yay for dinner tonight! Where are you guys going to eat? ... never mind I see where you answered. HAVE FUN!!
@lillywonderland Wow, that sounds amazing! I seriously feel like the Christmas spirit is more lacking each year in our area. Less and less people put out lights and decorations.
@themadcamel Not sure about the CM since I'm just off of BCP too. But it looks like you got your BD pretty well covered.
@oklahomak Welcome!
@littleredm Sounds like so much fun. I always love curly hair but it's so arduous to style when it's long.
@misshelen86 I'm sorry about the BFN. Have so much fun tonight at YH Xmas party.
@rikiteacup Keeping my FX for you.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@stephanie123456 Pick out the best tree ever!! Do you get it flocked or plain? I had never seen the flocking until I moved here years ago. DH tells me they used to get it done when he was a kid.
@littleredm HELLO FRIEND!!! I have a couple ideas for your hair - are you good at making little low buns? Do have any fabric you could tie for a headband? What about some costume jewelry you could add to a headband? See pics in spoiler! I had too much fun looking at 20s hair styles!!
@rikiteacup I AM SENDING YOU THE GOOD JUJU FOR YOUR TEST TOMORROW! I felt like I needed to write that in all caps. 😆 Good luck, friend!!
@emeraldduchess You warmed my heart with your love of “Elf”! Have so much fun with you cocoa and the Christmas movies!! I love “The Holiday”!
@daisy0322 I’m so sorry about your disappointing test result. ❤️
*eta a bunch of tags since mobile sucks
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
CRAZY work day today, so just now swinging in late to the party!!
Month/Cycle: Cycle 5
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -1, +1
Typical LP length: 11-14 days (helpful, right?)
Testing: Planning next Saturday, but ask me again at like 10 dpo, and see how my willpower is holding up.
R/R: just busy. that's all. Lots of fun Christmas-y stuff planned this weekend, so I'm excited.
CS/Q: Nah. My temp did come back up, so I'm favoring that I was mouthbreathing yesterday. Will post a chart when there's something more exciting to see.
@rikiteacup I'm thinking the same thing. Still getting the hang of identifying CM. The things we do TTC! smh
@oklahomak so awkward, right? I ended up ordering a vodka and tonic and then excusing myself to go to the bathroom while I hunted down the waitress and asked her to actually bring me a sprite in a rocks glass haha.
@stephanie123456 it's crazy to not be taking that little pill every day after having been on it for over 10 years. Has your cycle this month been similar to your 1st one off BCP? I'm wondering how long it will take to be "normal."
