Re: TWW Friday 1/11
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -5,-4,-2,O,+1
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: maybe again Sunday
R/R: Rant:my coworker is out until Tuesday which sucks because I'm stuck doing 2 peoples jobs.
Rave: Everything went well yesterday at OBGYN so that's a plus and treated myself after to a pedicure and eyebrow wax and it was wonderful. Then I arrived home to my new Rothy's pic in spoiler of the ones I got
Month/Cycle: 24/ 1 a/l
CD/DPO: 17/4-6
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14-15 days
Testing: next week
R/R: I am going to go crazy with the SS. I was really crampy yesterday. And today my temp dipped.. I am so aggravated about having to go in to work today. I am taking my time getting there though, I plan to clean and go to target first.
CS/Q: I think I o’ed two days earlier, but with off sleep it doesn’t show.
@kimmer1412 I thought I had never heard of those shoes, and then randomly yesterday I clicked on my personal wishlist and guess what was on it! Ha, this is why I keep a list—I can never think of anything when someone asks me for gift ideas for me...Anyway, hope works goes by quickly since you’ll be so busy! (Those fb ads work well on me apparently)
@holly321 I can relate with feeling symptoms so early on. I think I’ve been “extra hungry” since 1dpo. That’s basically all the proof I need, right? 🙄🙄🙃
Month/Cycle: 9/8
CD/DPO: 33/11ish
Timing: ehh
Typical LP length: usually 14 from a +opk result, but I think those alert me before I actually o...
Testing: maybe Monday?
R/R: I finally feel like I am ready to tackle the day again. I just kept falling into wallowing...let’s hope it lasts!
CS/Q: no charts yet...but I did ovulate a week later than usual this month...holiday stress maybe? All my in-laws (6 adults) stayed over in our house for a few days, so that’s a good bet. Hopefully a delayed o is still viable!
@kimmer1412 love this shoes! All this rothy talks make me want to splurge and get a pair.
@holly321 fx for you! Hope work isn’t too bad for you and it goes by quickly! Maybe a nice leisurely walk through target will help you lol.
Month/Cycle: 26/benched
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: n/a
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: wfaf
R/R: wfaf to get here so I can schedule my saline sono. Really looking forward to getting off the bench, hopefully next cycle! Happy it’s Friday! We have been so busy this week I’m excited to relax a little today.
CS/Q: nope
@holly321 I am firmly on this SS train already too and I want off!! I literally O'd two days ago and I was SS like crazy yesterday.
Hi @begging4abump welcome! Wow hosting 6 inlaws at once sounds like a challenge! I mean I love my in laws but I'd go crazy with that many extra people in my house.
Month/cycle: 8
CD: 15/2dpo
Timing: EOD+
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: nopenopenope
R/R: well I go here now. Is anybody else starting to feel like this is a lot of sex?? Rave: it's Friday! I get to have some decaf today! (after avoiding sugar, coffee, wine, I sure need a bit of a vice).
CS/Q: No chart this time!
@holly321 Sorry you have to go into work today, such a bummer! Take all of the time to get there!!!
@begging4abump Hope you can stay positive! Stress has a way will messing with cycles!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: Great
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: Well they’re going to test at the OB today but it’s too early.
R/R: Off today! After my appointment I need to grocery shop but I have to go to at least three stores 🥴.
CS/Q: Nope!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@begging4abump I never heard of them until my MIL bought me the first pair for xmas and now I'm hooked, hope someone buys you a pair off your wishlist..
@kbrown2385 and @jennifer_louise they are sooooooo comfy!
@brookert615 I tested yesterday at 8DPO and got a BFN and even though I knew it was too early I still hate seeing that stark white test strip 😏 I hate grocery shopping especially having to go to multiple stores
@jennifer_louise I can deal with all the sex, it is more the worry if we did it enough/at the right time that gets to me. Enjoy your coffee!
@brookert615, I hope you can enjoy some of your day off!
CD/DPO: 18/2
Timing: Meh
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: I cannot think that far ahead.
R/R: My husband snored all last night and it's a miracle that I didn't push him off the damn bed. Rave: It's Friday! I'm going to Trader Joe's to buy all of the yummy things because I literally ate popcorn and a can of tuna for lunch yesterday. I really need to learn to meal prep.
CS/Q: I think something might be up with my thermometer, due to repeat temps. I'm shocked that I didn't get a temp spike today, but maybe it will show up tomorrow? When I put FF on advanced settings it says that I O'd on CD 15, which I don't believe because I had a negative test the night before followed by two days of strong positives. I switched it to OPK detector, which puts O date at CD 16. Temping is stressing me out at this point.
@Kimmer123 team Rothy's! I was raving to my boss about mine yesterday and I may have sold her lol
@holly321 bleh to work. Don't work to hard. Just hard enough to make it count.
@begging4abump 6?! I could not have dealt....
@kbrown2385 fx the sono shows only good and you are put back in the field!
@Jennifer_louise so.much.sex. lmao
@brookert615 3 stores? I do 2 and it's too many.
@elle-0490 I'm also a meal plan failure. I always want to and then totally lose the execution.
@holly321 At least it is Friday, but I am not feeling in work mode this morning either.
@begging4abump You are brave my friend! There would have been a fight with 6 of my inlaws around.
@kbrown2385 We have missed you. Glad you get to get off that bench!
@jennifer_louise WHEW. Are you having headaches? I would surely die without coffee. I would have a caffeine headache for days. I have also cut all sugar out of my diet and I feel so much better after 2 weeks without it!
@elle-0409 I went to the couch last night at 3am because there was no sleep happening in my bed. I am buying ear plugs.
@prpl11butterfly everyone and their Rothy's. They are so cute, I wish I had a need for them!
Month/Cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO: 10DPO
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: I was good and stayed away from the pee sticks this morning, I cannot say that I am going to have that much will power over the weekend.
R/R: OH FRIDAY, HOW I LOVE THEE. Still going strong in ketosis and have lost 8lbs in the last 2 weeks! Lots of great things planned for the weekend. Now just to get through this workday.
CS/Q: Nothing to report, I wasn't temping this month.
@kimmer1412 - Sounds like you had a wonderful day despite the bad beginning. Good temps too!
Tell me about these Rothy's. Why is someone willing to pay $150 for a pair of flats?
@holly321 - SS is so hard, especially where we are at right now! Every little twinge, I think that could be the one!
@begging4abump - We've been trying for the same amount of months and cycles! Which I guess isn't really something to be celebrated. A late O shouldn't be a cause for concern, only an early one. Good luck!
@jennifer_louise - I just had a moment of thinking that it's been awhile since I had sex just kind of for the fun of it. Besides pregnancy sex is mind blowing, so I can't wait to get KU!
@brookert615 - Maybe you'll be a unicorn and get a positive at the OBs. Blood or urine?
@kbrown2385 - Good for you for holding out another day!
Month/Cycle: 9/8
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Monday
R/R: For some reason I have felt so so relaxed this cycle. The first half of it went by quickly when I was on vacation, I O'd early, and then this TWW has actually flown by. Monday will be here soon because the weekend is always too busy.
My brother who broke up with his girlfriend a few weeks before Thanksgiving, has taken a liking to my favorite coworker, so I'm really hoping that she likes him back. I've always wanted them to get together and now it may happen!
CS/Q: Same as yesterday. No new temps until Monday.
@elle-0409 how did you restrain yourself with the snoring?? I can only last a few minutes with dh before I freak haha.
@brookert615 I usually do two stores and am exhausted by then end. Good luck with 3!
@kbrown2385 I have finally stopped craving sugar and wine, but my coffee I don't know that I can give up! MH wants mexican tonight and I am internally already crying for some extra will power to turn down the chips and salsa.
CD/DPO: 61/1
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O
Testing: trying to wait until dpo 12
R/R: the people are coming to measure my counter tops today hooray! I get my new counters on the 30th
CS/Q: so i got a really dark positive OPK Wednesday with spotting then it was the same color as control Thursday and today it was lighter. FF set my O date as yesterday. However I did not take an OPK Tuesday. Should I consider FF accurate for now?
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 13-15
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: I am in a bad mood this week. I don't know what is going on. Could be PMS.
I was super mad at my H this morning, via text message. I cooked last night and left everything on the stove top since he came home after 9:00PM. I told him there was extra pasta for him in the pasta pot if he was hungry (I always cook 4 servings for leftovers and my H tends to eat more than 1 serving). Well, this morning, I found the pasta untouched. He put everything away except his extra food. He never registered that the extra food wasn't in the main skillet but in the pot right next to it. So in the trash it went. I was pissed my extra efforts went in the trash and that food went in the trash.
ETA: Thank you for reading through all that. Here is your reward, the recipe:

@prpl11butterfly I love your color so pretty!
@marebear15 what @prpl11butterfly said they're suppose to last forever and never look worn. Although I'll be honest and say I love them but would never splurge that much on shoes so I'm just glad both pairs were gifts.

@prpl11butterfly I can't but help be super hopeful for you too!! I mean, it only takes once!
@klmcguire I haven't had regular coffee since November ish so thankfully I'm past the withdrawal phase. I still get cravings though. Good job with getting rid of sugar! Are you going to add it back in ever?
@marebear15 I hear you on missing fun sex. It's like, I can try to make this fun but really I need your sperm tonight. Gimme it. Also, yay for your brother's new romance! I hope it works out!
@daisy0322 I say listen to FF for now. If you've been doing EOD consistently hopefully it won't matter much!
@rikiteacup that looks delicious. Sorry your hubby was less than helpful.
OMG hard to keep up today!!
@rikiteacup, I am sorry you are so frustrated with your dh, I am right there with you.
@marebear15, I am glad you feel so relaxed this cycle, I have been too oddly. Although, the SS is ridiculous. I am getting a migraine, which had me excitedly texting dh, lol.
@klmcguire good job staying away from the pee sticks. I am doing my best to not buy any today, because I know I will be too lazy to buy them during the week, which will help my self control. Good job with the weight loss!
@holly321 Sorry about SS. What I've learned after using FF and SS the hell out of Google is that nothing in your chart can indicate that your are or not pregnant. Only the HPT can. I wish FF would stop trying to spot trends that mean nothing and it even says so! (like implantation dip, triphasic chart...).
@begging4abump are you temping? I would try that next cycle. It willt ell you A LOT about your cycle. And this is good to have when you see your OBGYN or RE.
@kbrown2385 good luck with your next cycle!
@jennifer_louise welcome here! And yes, this is a lot of sex. It gets tiring after a while.
@brookert615 enjoy your day off and good luck at the OBGYN!
@elle-0409 meal prep was something I could not do. And then I decided to start WW a year ago and that meant meal preping. We still do it to this day. I am impressed and it made our life SO MUCH EASIER. I don't know why we didn't start sooner.
@klmcguire wow impressive weight loss!! keep up the good work.
@marebear15 good luck to your brother! Do you think your coworker likes him?
@daisy0322 I would leave it how it is. As long as you BD'ed around those days, you should have it covered.

Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: nah. just WFAF
R/R: I'm very bummed about missing out on SMEPtember but at the same time I'm just kind of numb at this point. Rave - Friday, payday, and I had a few delicious drinks last night with a girlfriend and talking to her about everything made me feel so much better!
Edited to add chart since I still can’t figure out how to do it from my desktop haha
CS/Q:
@klmcguire congrats on the 8lbs so far and sticking to keto! Resisting temptation is HARD. MF is starting on a completely no-carb diet next week and we're already dreading it so much, even though we're already low carb.
@rikiteacup sorry for the BFN.
@jennifer_louise everyone is leaving us
@marebear15 when you say it's been a while since you had sex 'just for the fun of it', is your post-O HIO streak not just for the fun of it? or is it just because it was several weeks ago? lol
Do any of you talk about your sex lives this casually with your friends IRL? I might with my BFF but beyond that it's really only if we've been drinking and it comes up.

@kimmer1412 that's annoying about your coworker. GL getting through the next few days! Glad your appointment went well!
@holly321 have fun on your Target run!
@begging4abump oh man, all the inlaws staying at my house at the same time would stress me out too!
@kbrown2385 hope your sono goes well and you're able to get off the bench!
@jennifer_louise so much sex! I hardly even want to look at my husband after O day but I've always had a pretty low sex drive so the whole TTC thing has been kinda rough
@brookert615 3 stores?!? dang, girl. GL to you haha!
@elle-0409 LOL about YH. Good job not pushing him off the bed. Your temps are so consistent! Not necessarily a bad thing, but it could be something with the thermometer. I feel ya on the meal prep. We were in a groove for a while, but haven't really done it for the past several months.
@prplbttrfly77 FX for you!!
@klmcguire dang, you're doing awesome with your diet! Hope you have a fun weekend!
@marebear15 that's great you've been more relaxed this cycle! That's so cute about your coworker and your brother - hopefully they work out!
@daisy0322 you should definitely temp! It stresses me out sometimes, but definitely helps pinpointing O / if you O'd. Awesome about the new counters!
@rikiteacup ugh that would make me so mad! I get pissed when DH doesn't eat the meals I make for us for lunches, I can't even imagine if the food went entirely to waste. That recipe looks bomb!
@b_1029 I'm sorry you're numb. That happened to me last cycle. Sort of a hopeless 'why should I even care about this anymore' feeling. I really hope you feel better soon, and who needs SMEPtember anyway?! (just kidding we love you @lillywonderland). We all know SMEPtober is where it's at.
@daisy0322 totally totally understandable to feel that way with upcoming deployment. I'm actually pretty sure last time I was in TWW you were here too on this same cycle! Hope all the waiting is worth it for you guys.

CS/Q: so, last progesterone suppository was Weds. I had some brown spotting in the evening yesterday. I think my body is like, hey you normally shed this right now. Is a lot of spotting normal before AF actually shows in this scenario?
