Re: TWW Thursday 12/13
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: ok
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: bfn last night
R/R: Got my hopes up last night, even though I was pretty PMS-y all day. Woke up to cramps and spotting. Christmas schedule allowing, we’ll be trying an IUI later in the month.
My favorite coworker told me that she’s pregnant yesterday and she’s almost 6 along. She’s pretty private, and only started telling because she can’t hide it anymore, but she specifically said she didn’t want things to be weird. I’ll admit that I had a twinge of jealousy, but I’m thrilled for her. I just hope I haven’t inadvertently said or done something to make her think I wouldn’t be happy for her.
Onto my rave. Earlier this week, I was knitting on the bus and one of my regular kids from work saw me knitting and she was thrilled. It got me thinking about doing a program at work to teach the kids. My boss thought it was great and I reached out to a FB group I belong to and I’ve got a bunch of people donating their old needles. I’m so excited, even though it’s just one kid so far that’s interested.

R/R: one of my coworkers brought in donuts this morning, I'm loving the free food but its killing my healthy eating lol. Going to my nephews birthday party tonight at the local bounce place, I hate weeknight parties I feel like I'm running around crazy after working all day.
CS/Q: eh getting a little discouraged with my dropping temps even though it could mean nothing.
Also, don't feel guilty for your feelings. They are totally valid.
@b_1029 - Your chart is just so beautiful!! Are you sure you're going to hold out til Saturday?? I can't wait that long
@lcking82 - Crossing everything for you tomorrow!

Also, woke up this morning and I had VIP FF!! Someone had signed up to FF through my chart page, so I get VIP for 4 days.
CS/Q: Look at my beautiful chart with DPOs and my beautiful overlay!
@kimmer1412 jealous of your donuts! Have fun at the party tonight! I have no idea on the temps, I’m sorry.
@marebear15 I’m going to try and hold out! It helps I have no symptoms so I’m not excited for another BFN right now haha. Your chart looks great, and oooo overlay! Enjoy your VIP. And your sibling Christmas sounds like so much fun, have a blast!
@noodle9912 So sorry for the BFN
@b_1029 Enjoy your dinner tonight and your WFH day!
@lcking82 Enjoy your date night!!! Sorry work is crazy! Interviewing is NO FUN!
@kimmer1412 Tis the season for all the free bad food haha. What is it with people making plans on weeknights? Hope it goes smoothly and you get a chance to relax.

R/R: Started progesterone yesterday. Trying not to get my hopes up for this cycle. Other than that, looking forward to my brother coming into town for Christmas. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him (my family lives 9 hours away).
CS/Q: none
@chichiphin - I have missed you!! I keep having to go into the IF thread for updates. I believe our nickname is SMEP-xy September!
@b_1029 chart looks great!!!! I'm glad you have something fun tonight to look forward to
@lcking82 fx for testing tomorrow. Also - interviewing people is so exhausting so I hope you have a chill Sat ahead of you
@Kimmer1412 don't get discouraged. 7DPO is super early, esp since implantation could happen as late as 10DPO. tmrw may even be too early to test.
@marebear15 enjoy sibs christmas! your chart is so pretty
@brookert615 congrats on your recent success in the gym! I've actually done 2 bikini comps in the past - that sh*t is exhausting but fun!
**edit to add
@kbrown2385 That's so fun that your brother is coming in to town! I hope you two have a lot of fun

@chichiphin Hey stranger!!! That is so exciting that this cycle is looking promising! Will be crossing everything for you!!!
That is so cool you did comps! Yeah I think I just want to do it to say I did it lol.
@kbrown2385 That's exciting you'll be able to see your brother for Christmas!
@marebear15 I am sure hopeful of it making the LP longer!!!

@noodle9912 That's awesome about starting a knitting program and that your fellow knitters are donating old needles. Is there a way to communicate the program so more kids can get involved? Sorry for the cramping and spotting
@b_1029 Hi Friend. I'm sorry I upset you yesterday, I've been feeling very bad about it. It's none of my business how your chart looks and you're allowed to feel however you want about it. Also, do you know what you're having for dinner?? It's been so long since I've been on a double date, I have to live vicariously through you
@lcking82 FX for you!! Hopefully the days pass quickly since you'll be so busy!
@kimmer1412 Yeah what's with a weeknight party? I guess this time of year it could be hard to get everyone together for a weekend birthday party. Also, load up on hand sanitizer! Those bounce places scare me! I've seen... lotsa barf
@marebear15 lol all of that excel chart work for nothin! YAY for siblings Xmas! I know you've really been looking forward to this day. What else do you have with your turkey? Do yo guys do a gift exchange?
@brookert615 Awww yay! Glad the meds are helping! Are you feeling much better?
@chichiphin HAY GIRL! Welcome! Marebear and I tried to be witty and come up with some September names yesterday and both totally failed. But I'm all in for a SMBM!! Everything is crossed for you this month!!
Month/Cycle: 13
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: -2, -1
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: allllready did
R/R: Well, I would call this cycle the epitome of a complete failure as my first cycle off the bench. I've been through FOUR (!!) boxes of FRERs, have unusually high temps and ZERO spotting after stopping my progesterone supplements 3 days ago, aaallllll of the KU symptoms and stark white BFNs. Two days ago I decided I would just stop testing and save my last box for next month but you clearly see how much self control I have.
CS/Q: Here's my asshole chart.

9DPO is so so early. Hang on to your box and maybe wait 2 days before testing again?
@brookert615 that's so exciting about your mini insta- fame! That is amazing you're already down 10#, awesome job!
@chichiphin I have missed you in the dailies! YES to make Sept great again!
@kbrown2385 I hope those supplements work for you! That's great about your brother coming in town and I hope you all have a good time.
@nomangos23 I share my birthday with my nephew so in a way I glad its tonight so I can enjoy my birthday dinner tomorrow night buuuut it's still a PITA. And yes the jump places are full of nasty germs but hopefully I won't encounter any barf 🤢

Timing: -5,-3,-2,O,+1
Typical LP length: 15 days
Testing: Trying to hold out until next Thurs (13DPO)
R/R: One more week until winter break!! Hurry up already. Also, I took my car to get an oil change (had an appointment) and it took 2 HOURS while I just said in the waiting room. But! They ended up not charging me at all for it since it took so long and I had scheduled an appointment in advance. So great customer service, but I wouldn’t just brought something to do if I had known it would take so long!
CS/Q:
@b_1029 Thank you
@dogmomma096 Sorry about that wait but that's cool they did that!!!
@themadcamel HAHA so many tests

@brookert615 *hugs* right there with you on the PCOS sucks train. Sorry, friend, I wish I had some magical answer but glad things seem to be getting under control, and GL with the diet!
@chichiphin yayyyyyyyy for O! Finally! I am hoping I won't be too far behind you. Keeping alll the things crossed for you that this is your cycle! How amazing would that timing be. I LOVE it.
@kimmer1412 happy early birthday!
@nomangos23 nooo sorry for your BFN but don't give up hope yet! Your chart is still looking good and it's not over 'til it's over.

@brookert615, that's really impressive that you are getting your health under control, and how exciting that the diet creator liked your post!

@themadcamel I keep a big box of cheapies so that when I need to I can pee on something, but try to save the FRER’s for 1-2x per cycle if possible!
