Testing: Maybe Sunday.... it's about time for my weekly test. It'll be negative though
R/R: this is my weekend to work and I just had 10 days off. I'm seriously not feeling it, i feel like I have hardly seen my husband in 2 weeks since he worked last weekend. Also, I'm only half way through my shift and I have blood all over my favorite scrubs, totally my fault though.
CS/Q: should I even bother temping when I sleep after night shift?
Testing: bfn yesterday, will test later if I do decide to open my Johnnie Walker
R/R: I love snow and being snowed in, I do. But we are to have friends over for poker tonight and I have plans tomorrow, and my antisocialness cant stand this up in the air. Plus, I have to clean my entire house possibly no one, when I don’t feel like it. At least if it is cancelled, I get lots of yummy foods.
CS/Q: I really hare how pretty my chart is. It is nearly indentical toast cycle but one day later.
@daisy0322 I don’t know about temping after night shift, especially if you don’t do it every night. I wonder if you can convert the temp to add it? Sorry for the blood on your scrubs!
@daisy0322 I personally would but I have no scientific basis for that I'm not sure how those temps would translate though. I sure hope you can salvage your favorite scrubs!
Month/Cycle: 8/3
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -3, -2
Typical LP length: 7-14
Testing: not sure now
R/R: my asshole dog woke me up because of her whining so I thought she had to pee. I let her out of her crate and she saw it was pouring rain and decided to go sleep on the couch instead. Now I'm wide awake. Eff you dog. Rave: It's the weekend!! Although the weather is kind of crappy, I really needed a break after a week of training and trying to keep up with my day job. Hoping to make some good headway organizing the house and unpacking any remaining boxes.
CS/Q: Maybe. I started using wondfo opk's this month for the first time. I figured I'd start testing at CD 15 since I usually ovulate between CD 19-22 (at least two years worth of data). The first opk was positive (I think) and so was the second. The subsequent days were clearly not. But now I'm wondering if I possibly O'd on CD14. If I put a positive OPK on CD14 it actually moves my crosshairs.
@cdnrunning (from yesterday) I did physical therapy back in the spring for a few months and then he was like I can’t help you anymore, it’s basically a minor nagging pain that just will not go away and I usually would’ve just ignored it and run through it but I was trying to get into the Boston marathon so was trying to be proactive. I could definitely see a case for CD-14 ovulation on your chart since you’ve got a big rise on CD-15.
@holly321 I’m with you on hating having plans up in the air. I hope they’re figured out sooner rather than layers in the day so you know if you can just relax on the couch eating yummy foods and not have to clean if it isn’t necessary
@daisy0322 I second still temping and then converting; may not be totally accurate but at least it’s something
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: -1,0
Typical LP Length: 14
Testing: gonna hold out til AF is due because I’ll be away all weekend at my parents house next weekend and don’t want to test there
R/R: excited for a relaxing weekend with no plans at all
CS/Q: happy that my temp seems to have stabilized from the slight dip yesterday
@daisy0322 FX for you when you test! You're such a trooper for sticking it out this cycle, and I hope it's all worth it!
@holly321 I hear you on antisocialness! I usually do appreciate the excuse to clean my house though when we have people over. Sorry for the BFN, friend. You're right that your chart is ridiculously pretty though.
@cdnrunning Yeah, I guess with CM and OPKs your O could be CD 16 or 17. If you had no CM on CD17 then CD16 seems likely and your timing was still good!
R/R: surprisingly not feeling super BSC as I normally would at this point in my cycle. Mostly I'm just relieved it's the weekend and even AF can't take that away from me! Plus, the best thing about weekends is naps, and I get to nap today (:
@daisy0322 Sorry about having to head back to work. I hope you can get some quality time with YH soon.
@holly321 I feel like snow and bad weather always seems to come when we have fun plans but never for work days. We're getting rain today but then it's supposed to get really cold tomorrow and I'm hoping it won't be super icy on the roads.
@cdnrunning sorry about your dog being a butt. My dogs hate going out in the rain too and one of them will poop on the carpet and try to get away with it.
@jennifer_louise there's nothing like a good nap. I love lazy weekends! Hope it's a great one!
Month/Cycle: 13/13
CD/DPO: 31 / 16 dpo
Timing: idk
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: BFN yesterday
R/R: I'm cramping and spotting so assuming AF is around the corner. Just wish she'd get here already so I can move on with my life. I'm very seriously considering skipping the other 2 IUI's and moving straight to IVF but it'll take awhile to save up the money so I have a lot of time to think about it. Busy weekend with friends so looking forward to going out and having some fun.
Happy Weekend Ladies! This is my first time posting on a TWW thread. I’ve been lurking for a bit but I feel like I need to get to know you all a little better before I’m comfortable addressing you individually. I hope that’s okay.
Month/Cycle: 19/19
CD/DPO: 25/11 but I think it’s really 10
Timing: -4,-3, -1, 0, +1 (if I’m 10dpo)
Typical LP length: 15-16
Testing: Probably tomorrow
R/R: Rave, it’s Saturday!! Going to start my seedlings inside today for my spring garden. Rave, it’s cold outside! At least it’s cold for southern Texas.
CS/Q: FF keeps moving my O day between cd14 and cd15. This mornings dip moved it back to cd14. Hopefully it’s back up tomorrow.
@cdnrunning, sorry about the dog waking you, but I LOLed at the thought of your dog being like, "oh rain?? Nah I'll just chill here on the couch, then!" 😂
Testing: will test for sure because I am POAS addict, but not anytime soon
R/R: our snow cleared off early, so we didn't get as much as anticipated. Maybe 6 inches, easily shoveled off. Fine by me, because we have enough snow to pretend we are snowed-in if we feel lazy and want to stay in our snuggies all day, but not so much we can't leave the house if we feel like being social. My H is starting chili on the stove for tonight's dinner, and I am going to make a homemade version of Red Lobster's cheddar bay biscuits to go with it. I am so excited for a perfect snow day comfort meal!
@daisy0322 sorry about your scrubs, and your weekly pee test. I have so much admiration and respect for you for sticking out this crazy cycle. @holly321 your chart is such a tease. Sorry for that BFN, I hope you’re a SS and are one of those people who test better in the evening?? If not, enjoy that scotch tonight! @cdnrunning omg that’s so something my dog would do. He wouldn’t even get out of bed this morning, just burrowed further under the covers. Lazy bum. @kopp5988 jealous of your no plans wkd. I’m already bailing on next wkds plans because this one is tiring me out. @jennifer_louise who are you and what have you done with Jennifer Louise? I bow to you, oh queen of not POAS. teach me your ways. @littleredm ohh I’m so sorry for the BFN. I was so hopeful for you, friend. Enjoy your weekend plans, hopefully AF holds off another day or two for you. @emily1052 hi, welcome! I know, it’s super overwhelming at first. Glad you’re joining in! @galentine I really don’t want MF’s whole family to invite themselves over and crash here after dinner so I’m praying it snows like a mofo between now and then lol. Can I hide at your house instead? You don’t even have to feed me, I’ll just be in my blanket pile snoring in the corner.
Month/Cycle: 13/10
CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: of course. Just don’t ask me when.
R/R: I’m supposed to be napping because I’m cranky and we have to go out for dinner later in a snowstorm but instead I’m just hiding under the blankets with a heating pad on TB. It’s only 3dpo and I’m SS like a crazy person. We need a SS anonymous group. “Hi, I’m Kiki and I’m BSC with the SS...” Rave: Costco was fun and we did some meal prep today. Feeling better about this week.
CS/Q: finally got dotted CH. not sure why FF isn’t giving me solid lines.
TTC History:
Me: 36 MH: 39, TTC since Dec 2017
Aug '18: PCOS dx

Dec '18-Mar '19: Letrozole + TI - all BFN
Apr '19: Letrozole + TI, - BFN. Repeat SA (27mil) & DNA fragmentation test (17%)
@holly321 I can't find an app that lets me convert so I'm just going to wing it and I can throw out the temps if they start looking funky. I hope poker doesn't get snowed out that sounds fun!
@cdnrunning thanks my scrubs get blood in them all the time it usually comes out I just happen to really like these scrub pants. My temp actually seemed to line up today so I'm rollin with it for now. I'm sorry your pup woke you. Mine like sleeping with me during the day for awhile then he starts getting rambunctious and waking me up too lol
@jennifer_louise thanks girl! I'm hoping it's worth it too enjoy your nap!
@littleredm thanks I work 6 out of 11 nights then I get 10 days off again so I just need to power through! I hope you have a good time this weekend with friends!
@galentine thanks I would probably fall over if I got a BFP. Even though my opk is still positive I do feel like I'm maybe O'd though I've been a little warm and my hand have been slightly swollen which is norm TWW things for me. That meal sounds delicious! Wanna send some to my hospital for me I'll be eating out of a vending machine tonight if I'm lucky haha.
@kiki047 thanks I appreciate it! I feel like I'm always tantrum-ing about the same things and I'm sure I'm driving people crazy haha I feel you on the SS ... I was convinced I was KU like 3 times in the last 40 ish days.
Typical LP length: 13 (This is my second round temping, so we'll see what it is this time).
Testing: Since today is 12 DPO, I think I'm going to temp on Monday if AF hasn't shown (that will be 14 DPO)
R/R: I'm getting better each round, but I am very impatient with finding out the answer. My temp went down yesterday quite a bit but still above the coverline. I was thinking I would be out but then today it went up again (not as high as before). Will see what tomorrow is. I have been spotting (which I do before AF normally) however the last few days I had some very light on and off cramping and then today nothing. So crossing fingers and praying...;-)
CS/Q: What does this stand for? (I'm a little new here:)
@stargazer100 FX for you that your temps and cramping are a good sign. CS/Q stands for chart stalk/ questions. There’s a newbie thread that lists all the acronyms I’m pretty new too and that thread helped so much!
@jennifer_louise I don’t mind the cleaning, but hate feeling like it all needs to be done by a certain point. We did end up still having everyone over last night, and it was really fun, considering I knew 1 person besides DH. I hope you enjoyed your nap!
@littleredm, I am sorry for the Bfn! I hope AF shows up soon for you so you can move on.
@kiki047 my chart is making me so annoyed, temp is up again! SS is no fun. Years ago, in the dailies symptoms was a question each day.
