R/R: TGIF! This has been a long, emotional week. We’re going out of town tomorrow which I’m not super looking forward to because it’s to watch a couple of college basketball games...but it’ll be great to see friends! And it’s hard to have a bad day when it starts off like this (I wish he looked at me that lovingly, he was staring at my banana):

CS/Q: who even knows what the hell is going on anymore🤷♀️ thinking this cycle is a bust so hopefully AF will hurry up so I can move on to next cycle
@b_1029 what an adorable pupper! I've never had a dog that eats bananas although our current one eats strawberries so *shrug*
@chichiphin I hope your appointment goes well!
Well ladies I'm technically a lurker from WTO here. CD1 for me. Best of luck to you all!
@chichiphin good luck with your appt today!

Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: wfaf
R/R: not much today. Happy it’s friday and looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Finished up my Christmas shopping last night. Just waiting on our cards to show up so I can get those sent out. I feel like this month is flying by.
CS/Q: idk. I think it looks ridiculous.
@chichiphin yikes, sounds super painful based on this and your Q in the questions thread. GL at your appointment!
@creamcheeseplease he will eat just about anything haha. Sorry about CD1
@kbrown2385 agreed on this month flying by! Glad you have a relaxing weekend lined up.
CD/DPO: 33
Testing: testing every 3/4 days
R/R: still no AF. When I was sick in the hospital Tuesday my blood test came back negative. AF has never been this late before I'm just incredibly frustrated. I just want to be able to start over and try again.
@chichiphin, I'm sorry for the terrible O pain. Ouch!
@kimmer1412, sorry for the confusing cycle/chart.
@kbrown2385, AHH! Your post reminded me I haven't even ordered our Christmas cards yet! Eeek!

CD/DPO: 19/1
Timing: good!

Testing: Hmm. Well I usually test CD 11/12, but that's Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and I'm not sure if I want to see BFNs those days. We'll see.
R/R: I have a work holiday party today, so free lunch! Wooo! My department is also doing a white elephant gift exchange for the first time, so I'm excited to see how that goes.
CS/Q: none for me
@kimmer1412 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
@chichiphin fx for your appointment today!
@b_1029 puppy cuteness! I love him
@chichiphin - I responded on the other thread, but maybe the horrible O pain was your huge follie bursting? Update us with news as soon as you can!
@kimmer1412 - Happy birthday!!! What does Advanced give you as O day? I'm still thinking CD15, but it looks like you might have a short LP since your temps have dropped so low.
@kbrown2385 - December is such a blur! I can't believe we're already halfway through it, and it only gets faster the closer we get to Christmas.
@daisy0322 - *TW - nursing*
@galentine - I'd definitely wait until the day after Christmas to test. I thought about testing on my birthday this cycle, but I know that a BFN will put me in a funk.
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 25/7
Timing: ED
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: Tuesday if no AF and high temps
R/R: I'm feeling so loved by my office today! They decorated my desk with birthday stuff and even gave me a homemade pinata filled with M&Ms.
Last night's sibling Christmas went great! My sister loved the gift I got her, and I got a BAM giftcard (yay books!). The cookie decorating contest was fun and we had creative, artistic, funny, and horrific entries. MH and my brother both made bleeding Santas and dead snowmen, lol.
CS/Q:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @marebear15 @kimmer1412!! I hope you ladies have great days.
@daisy0322 I’m sorry you’ve been so sick and AF is taking her sweet time. FX she never appears!
@marebear15 and @kimmer1412, happy birthday, ladies!
@galentine I recommend not using Shutterfly. I ordered on the 8th and they only just shipped. They might be New Years cards at this point haha.
Edited: I changed to advanced and it moved O back to the 15th
@chichiphin Hope your appointment goes well!
@kimmer1412 Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy all of the festivities!!!
@creamcheeseplease Sorry about CD1!
@kbrown2385 This month is flying!!! Hope you can have a relaxing weekend! So exciting you got your shopping done!!!

Timing: Not good enough
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Thanks for reminding me
R/R: Welp. After a very emotional day and an evening full of meltdowns, I can sufficiently say I'm feeling much better today. I spent yesterday afternoon in tears after agreeing to host my bff's baby shower in January, which I 100% want to do and 100% don't want to do at the exact same time. After the hell that this year has been, this cycle's BFN and extra emotions b/c AF is on her way I guess I just lost it.
DH was super sweet curled up on the couch with me and we were joined by our pup and we watched my favorite movie (Goodfellas, romantic, I know.) I think she knew something was going on because she curled up on my lap and laid her head on my chest. My heart melted. Dogs are the best.
CS/Q: Temp drop this AM, just waiting now.
@kimmer1412 happy birthday sorry you feel discouraged this cycle.
@marebear15 happy birthday! Glad you had fun last night.
@nomangos23 I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish I could just give you a big hug today.
