Re: TWW Fri-YAY 1/18
Month/Cycle: 8/3
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: -3, -2
Typical LP length: 7-14
Testing: next week
R/R: It's Friday!! Hoping to unpack the laundry this weekend and get that organized. Trying to also get in a long run this weekend.
CS/Q: Nahh. Progesterone makes it pretty.
Month/Cycle: 7/8
CD/DPO: 22/9dpo
Timing: good-ish
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: Jury's still out on if I'm using my last FRER this cycle.
R/R: Friday! This week has been crazy, and I think next week will be just as crazy, but luckily I have a weekend before then!
CS/Q: Not this time, yall.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: LALALALALA still not thinking about this
R/R: rant/rave - we are supposed to get 10 inches of snow this weekend. I don't love snow, but, we have nowhere we have to go and nothing we have to do. H and I hit the grocery store to get everything we might want for a cozy weekend in (ingredients to make chili, hot cocoa mix, etc etc), so we won't have to go anywhere all weekend. I'm actually really looking forward to hibernating and spending quality time with my honey!
CS/Q: nah
Sending you apology friendship waffles!
@galentine enjoy your cozy weekend, we’re supposed to get snow too but Idk how much
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -1,0
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: yesterday because the doctor made me!!! Went in for some chest tightness and difficulty getting a full deep breath and before she even listened to my lungs she asked if I was pregnant.. what?!? I told her I was between potential conception and potential implantation and she said well that was how I found out I was pregnant, I’m like I’m 3DPO and even I know a urine test will not show anything. She insisted and then of course during the 3 min wait I started to think omg what if it is somehow positive, she a medical professional she should know best! Yeah it was BFN, obviously!!!
R/R: I have to blow up a balloon every hour for 5 days because after I didn’t end up with a BFP the doctor suggested I may have anxiety that I’m not even aware of and it’s constricting my lungs. Apparently this is legit therapy for that.
CS/Q: Had a 0.3 dip in my BBT after being so pumped for my rise the past 3 days, just hoping it’s a random fluctuation and not a lack of progesterone.
@jennifer_louise I vote use the FRER on 12DPO! I hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend before your busy week. Do you get Monday off? I do not
@galentine We're supposed to get 2-3 FEET! I haven't gotten to the grocery store this week because it's been crazy, and now I'm going to be forced to go today when all of the crazies go.
@kopp5988 LOL, please keep all of the balloons you blow up and just have them hanging around your house.
AFM...
Month/Cycle: 6/3
CD/DPO: 23/3 ...apparently the +OPK on CD14 was a fluke, so I guess I jumped in here too early.
Timing: Really good, but wish I could have gotten one more in on +1
Typical LP length: It was 14, but I O'd late this cycle, so maybe it got shorter? Or it'll just be a longer cycle.
Testing: Trying not to get too excited and test too early. I travel for work starting on the 27th, so I'll probably test next Saturday before I leave.
R/R: We're supposed to get 24-36" of snow this weekend! I'm kind of scared but also kind of excited! As long as we don't lose power!
CS/Q: I missed updating yesterday, but with this morning's temp, I finally got my crosshairs!

@galentine - We're expecting alot of snow too on Sunday. My husband is a lineman so he always has to work during storms, leaving me all alone and having to snowblow and shovel my own way out.
@kopp5988 - I hope the balloon exercises work for you!
@shamrocandroll - I too have to brave the pre-storm grocery store after work today.
CD/DPO: 33/12
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 16-18 days
Testing: Caved and tested this morning. BFN. Wondering if I possibly O'd later and I'm only 10DPO?
R/R: Rave- Going to Dancing with the Stars tonight!! Rant- I hate snow and snowblowing and living in New England in the winter. Bahhumbug.
CS/Q:Temp dip this morning...
@shamrocandroll OK, I like that! If no AF or signs of AF, I will test on Monday morning. I'm glad you got your temp rise, and your timing looks great to me! (especially considering your false O alarm).
@heather_feather if you got your +OPK on day 21 I'd say there's a decent chance you didn't O until 1 or 2 days later. Don't lose hope yet!

R/R: seriously i just want to cry, my opk was positive again today. I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Temping isn't going well either since I can never seem to sleep three hours in a row. I'm just frustrated. i know it's just one cycle and I have obgyn appointment next month but I just hate this shit.
Ill try to tag later

@jennifer_louise ooohhh possible pee party this weekend?
@galentine those kinds of snow days are so cozy. I wish we didn't have anything to do or anywhere to go this weekend. Anything good on your netflix lineup?
@kopp5988 I get really light-headed and short of breath when my anxiety is bad too. I can only take really shallow breaths and my chest feels tight. I hope the balloon exercises work, and I agree with @shamrocandroll, please do something fun with all the balloons haha!
@shamrocandroll holy cow, that's a lot of snow! We're expecting about 10-12cm, which is more than enough for me lol.
@feather_heather it's possible you O'd a little later! Sorry for the BFN but it could still be early, FX!
Month/Cycle: 13/10
CD/DPO: 22/2
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Next wkd?
R/R: See my Friday Confession for my rant. I'm super excited for MF to be starting his diet but not excited for all the whining. I apologize in advance if I'm venting about him being a big crybaby about it because I need to get it out of my system so I can be the ever-supportive fiancee to his face
Rave: Since I O'd already I don't have to worry about HIO during the TWW with the King of Drama himself while he detoxes. Yay? lol. Also, Costco this weekend!
CS/Q: I'm still a little crampy today, really hoping that's not a bad sign. I've never been this crampy throughout the TWW, usually a little around O, a little around 6-7dpo, and not again until AF is due.
Should get my CH tomorrow.

@galentine enjoy your snowy weekend with your dh!
@jennifer_louise I keep having to use FRER because the dollar store is out of tests, it is getting expensive!
@daisy0322 I'm sorry you're so frustrated. I would be too! Actually, I am frustrated for you!! Hang in there, lady.
@kiki047 I love how you state your snow in cms. The best mem about the government shutdown I've seen is "quick, let's all switch to the metric system while the government is shut down!"
@feather_heather - sorry for the BFN
@kiki047 - keep us posted on DH's progress, grump or not haha

@galentine I freakin love chili - do you have a special recipe or some favorite ingredients??
@kopp5988 Are you still in physical therapy? I've been there before....multiple injuries over the years and being forced to not run was so depressing for me. How else will I work off all my wine calories???
@feather_heather I enjoy the solitude and peace and quiet. Often times, I listen to books which really makes the time fly! It's so funny, my chart from last month looks very similar to yours and even this month to some extent (I also use ava). Sorry for the BFN but looks like there could be some variability in your O date. FX for you!
@daisy0322 I'm really sorry your cycle is so wonky. That's super frustrating when there's no clear end in sight. I really hope you see some clear signs sooner rather than later.
@kiki047 Life often gets in the way and I fall off the bandwagon. I'm just now getting back on it. As for dieting - those first few days are always the hardest - maybe he'll be a superstar and skip the whining part
@kiki047 last cycle I was crampy throughout the entire TWW, like noticeable cramps every single day! I was very cranky about it, so you have my sympathy. Hope it either goes away soon or means something great! 🤞
@cdnrunning, honestly, chili is my H's specialty so I have no clue about any secret ingredients. I think he pretty much just wings it every time with no recipe, so it's never the same, but it's always delicious. I usually request lots of veggies in it though. Yum!
@daisy0322, I'm so sorry for the frustrating cycle, and for feeling pressure to get KU immediately to suit your DH's deployment schedule. Lots of hugs.
