Re: TWW Tuesday 2/5
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: maybe this weekend
R/R: actually woke up and got a workout in. Decided to switch from coffee to tea and only using honey as a sweetener, we'll see how long I last lol. I brought salad for lunch and fruit yo snack on. Has anyone else noticed they get super hungry in the first few days of the LP? Not sure if it's a hormone thing or what but I've noticed I get so hungry I get nauseous in the first few days.
CS/Q: nah but my temps are crazy consistent again.
Month/Cycle: 20/18
CD/DPO: 25/12 (11dpiui)
Timing: good??
Typical LP length: 12-13 days, more like 14-15 on progesterone
Testing: Friday!
R/R: probably going to have another juicy/laughable story about the one student and his helicopter mom. I think DH is supposed to talk to them again today and I hope he has no problem with me not being part of that conversation because I very well could turn a test today and I'm not risking that since we're not testing til Friday. Gotta keep the stress to a minimum! In other news... *TW* I got the invite for a baby shower for my cousin due in April. I was hoping it would be the weekend I'm gone for a competition so I could easily say no, but it's the weekend before. Probably going to say no still due to having to prep for the competition that same day. Plus the drive is 2 hours 1 way so I'd be spending equal parts driving and being at the shower (arguably a little more time driving).
CS/Q: temps popped up again slightly so I feel a little better.

@kimmer1412 you’re making me feel guilty with your exercise and healthy eating haha. I really need to motivate myself and get back into it.
Month/Cycle:27/1 post bench
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: next Monday
R/R: it’s going to be in the 60s here today so I’m excited to get out and enjoy the fresh air. I really need to buckle down again and get back to low carb/keto. I think I got lucky and the metformin kept water retention/weight gain at bay. Anyone have good at home workout recommendations?
CS/Q: considering getting a years worth of vip FF. Worth it? Do they do sales regularly? Idk if I want to pay $45 lol. Chart looks good I guess? I’m terrible at reading these.
@kimmer1412 I'm super hungry all through LP. I hate it. I'm trying to keep it at bay as well. So far I've eaten a bowl of pineapple and grapes. I'm now "enoying" a rice cake...
@kbrown2385 the only reason I have VIP is because 1 it's was a buy 30 get 90 deal after the new year and 2 I was planning to use chart duo to compare vaginal temps to temp drop. Obviously you know how that's gonna work out..... in Re to your chart, what day did you start the Crinone? Because I would look at this and think O was CD17 and not 15. I'm wondering if the Crinone was affecting your temp or if O was in fact 17....
Afm...
R/R Not much new to report. Trying to get in touch with my realtor about the last house we saw. It looks like they added some land (they were planning to separate and build but I think the town denied it). If that's the case, we are seriously considering an offer 😬
CS: I was worried the crinone would give me a high temp today throwing O off (considering I woke up in a pool of sweat, gross) but it looks like I'm chugging along as usual. Still not sure when I'm gonna stop temping this cycle. QUESTION Does anyone know why FF gives me dotted CH when I enter progesterone into my chart? If I put it in from 1DPO on it takes them away completely .....
@prpl11butterfly it's because if you're on progesterone, you're "artificially" keeping your BBT up. So basically FF isn't comfortable making a decision.
@kbrown2385 do you usually get a dip day after? I get a dip most days of O so that is why I was thinking 17.
Edit for tag
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: I'll start tomorrow just in case I am one of these early BFPers, you know...
R/R: I finally accepted the job last Friday. I just have to sign the papers and it's official, I start on the 25th! On Friday, I already started to pack my desk once everyone was gone. I will give my official resignation this Friday. I am pissed that I will be losing 3 weeks of sick time.
CS/Q: normal 7 DPO dip, I am glad the PMS haven't started yet as they usually tend to show up around 6DPO.

CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: probably just WFAF on Friday (or testing that morning, TBD)
R/R: we're making a decision today on putting a (very expensive) bandaid on our old furnace or buying a whole new one. I'm feeling very anxious about money but I should be getting some sort of bonus in March and hopefully a small raise? Keeping everything crossed for that. Also, I think I'm going to call the RE to make an appointment for April, I think that'll help me not feel so hopeless.
CS/Q: how on earth does putting exercise into FF take me from 13 preg points to 7!??! I think FF needs to reevaluate their algorithm.
@kbrown2385 I am jealous of your 60s weather! Enjoy it!
@inthewoods23 I want to hear these juicy helicopter parent stories!
I totally get you about baby showers. I know I have at least 2 this year now. Ugh, I hope I get pregnant by then. Mine will be filled with drama though . My MIL will stress out how all the women in the family (her daughters and DILs) always prepare these showers all together and I am not going to be included in any of the plans until the day before the shower. I am going to be tasked with something trivial (bring extra paper napkins) while all of them have been baking, decorating and so on, and then I will be asked for money to pay for all the prep. And then I will say "Nope!" Just thinking about it I am all

@prpl11butterfly I don't know how the crinone affects temps but if you temp vaginally, it doesn't matter if you're cold or sweating, your body regulate its temp to stay consistent.

@inthewoods23 I don't want to get your hopes up, but your chart looks so good! I am so hopeful for you! Can't wait to hear the story about the student. Hopefully you can get out of the shower!
@kbrown2385 I've never done it, but have heard good things about Beachbody! Or you could be crazy and try something like P90X? I haven't decided if FF VIP is worth it or not. I think I got it on sale. Now that I'm not even temping, it seems kinda pointless haha. Your chart does look good! I agree with @prpl11butterfly that O could be CD 17 (take my opinion with a grain of salt though, I am also bad at reading charts)
@prpl11butterfly that's exciting about the potential house! Hopefully they did add land and you get an accepted offer!
@rikiteacup congratulations on accepting the job! That's so exciting! Super lame about the sick time though - will they pay it out for you?
@b_1029 I think in your shoes I would just go all new. I'd be concerned that something else would go after applying the bandaid and having wasted that $$.
Also, my boss just brought in cupcakes. So much for eating well so far today....
I agree, FF algorithm is stupid. Don't pay attention to the preg points. Some people had like 30 the day before AF and some had like 3 and they got a BFP. It is based on data people enter on their charts. But working out shouldn't have any effect on that unless all the women who entered working out as a data ended up with BFN. That's the only explanation I see.

@inthewoods23 - Not to be creepy, but I am rooting so hard for you! This week can hurry up!
@prpl11butterfly - that is SUPER exciting! Keep us updated!
@b_1029 - Our A/C bit the dust at the beginning of last summer. Almost cried writing that check. Totally sucks spending huge $$ on not fun home expenses.
@rikiteacup - Congrats on the new job! Will they pay out sick time when you leave or just say peace out?
AFM...
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: Good *crosses fingers*
Typical LP length: 11ish
Testing: Ok prob this weekend
R/R: Nothing much on my end, cold again with snow in the forecast so I'm sure this week will get crazy. If school cancels it'll be bananas as usual.
CS/Q: This is random now that we're in the TWW, but does anyone here have incredibly painful ovulation symptoms? The past three months I swear I can feel the moment my follicle ruptures, intense cramps almost to the point of nauseous, usually ends in TMI... diarrhea. There is a chance it is a complete coincidence just curious.
@inthewoods23 Can't wait to hear the stories! You're so close and your CHART!!! Crossing everything for you!!! I must've missed something but what competition are you in?
@kbrown2385 Yay for great weather! I noticed with Metformin if I slack on my diet - I don't gain the weight as I usually did. Also - those exercise balls you can get at pretty much any store usually have a band and workout videos that you can access online? I just got a ball to sit on at work and it came with all kinds of stuff lol.
@prpl11butterfly Oh! That would be wonderful about that house! Hope it all works out and you're able to make an offer!
@rikiteacup Yay on the new job!!! Bummer about the sick time but glad you have a better opportunity your way!
@b_1029 Hope you get that raise and are able to figure out the furnace situation! I've never tried inputting exercise into FF! That app gets crazy lol. Glad you made that appointment. April is so close, but I'm really hoping that by that time you don't need it!
@mhamik I think I'm a SS when it comes to ovulation but if you're seeing signs I think that's good! Just make note of it and see what usually happens around O for you!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: Ok
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Got my morning lift session in and going to do cardio after work. I'm 3lbs away from losing 20lbs since January 7th! Even though I don't see the changes yet, it's nice to see that scale FINALLY move! Also, I'm already prepping my mind for a BFN? Like WHY do I do this? I just don't have the excitement I usually do around this time because I had some pretty bangin' charts and timing before and I'm thinking I just didn't have as good timing and everything as previous months. BAHH. Sorry for the crazy Brookert rant .
CS/Q: A part of me is thinking I might not temp for the rest of this cycle. I get crazy and over-analyze too much!
*EDIT I don't know what happened but everything got switched LOL.
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@rikiteacup older than me! It was manufactured in 1986 I think we'll end up buying new.
@mhamik I get pretty bad pain around ovulation but nothing like you described - ouch!
@brookert615 I'm glad your back is feeling better and you're able to lift again! (I feel like we're lifting sisters, lol). Feel you on prepping your mind for a BFN. I've been doing the same thing...better than being shocked, right?

@prpl11butterfly I tried taking out all my opks and for showed ovulation on cd 13. Idk what it’s doing but it needs to figure it out. Hopefully I didn’t screw anything up with the progesterone 🤷🏻♀️
@inthewoods23 ahhh, the suspense is killing me!!! C’mon Friday! Also, helicopter parents make me so upset; even just the mention of them gets me riled up.
@kbrown2385 warmer weather is such a welcomed change!! Regarding ff, I’m on my first month, so it’s a free 30 day upgrade to vp. Personally, so far, I haven’t seen anything worthwhile. I think it’s actually worse for me to start trying to look at its “points” since it’ll just get me worked up and trying harder to ss if that’s possible.
@prpl11butterfly that’s so exciting about the potential house!! GL! Also, are we both 1986 babies? I mean, I know I am...
@rikiteacup Congrats on the new job!! I’m so glad you went in for the interview even tho you were skeptical about it at the time!
@b_1029 it sounds like you’re not feeling quite so overwhelmed anymore. I hope that’s the case!! I’m also tossing in my vote to go for a new furnace. Everything we’ve tried to save on this house comes back to bite us.
@mhamik boo to the continued cold weather! Sorry if I missed an earlier detail, but how do the schools affect you? Do you work at a daycare?
@brookert615 17 pounds is awesome! Congrats! Also, I take turns playing out scenarios of bfn and BFPs. Once I feel like I’ve convinced myself that it’s one of them, then I go back to reimagining the other scenario, and repeat. Love the VD idea!
Month/Cycle: 9
CD/DPO: brb checking ff...24/7
Timing: good
Typical LP length: ff says 11-13
Testing: ugh, quit asking me, maybe Monday?
R/R: looooooving the latest weather shift, but already dreading that snow is forecasted for next week. Also happy to be an extra bit busy lately since I’m hosting a party later in the month and I’m having my mom over on Friday for her birthday. Still working out what to make her to eat, but I’m pretty happy with what mh and I will be gifting her: luggage clips that allow you to roll more than one suitcase at the same time, a heating pad for her neck, and a “coupon” for mh and me to help her at her house for at least 3 hours. She can be really hard to shop for, and with Christmas not too long gone, I always stress out trying to come up with a decent idea.
CS/Q: I don’t know how accurate the temps are because I cannot seem to wake up very close to the same time each day. Ehh, it is what it is.

@begging4abump Nov 86 to be (close to) exact!
@brookert615: I don't temp after O confirmed b/c I do go crazy analyzing things. Although I'm notoriously bad at temping anyway. And WAYTOGO on the weightloss. That's amazing!
@b_1029: totally agree with @prpl11butterfly and @rikiteacup : you'll probably save serious $$$ on your heating costs with a new unit. Although, yes, it does totally suck to have buy the thing. That was our "Christmas present" a few years back.
@inthewoods23 : I've got my fingers crossed SO tightly for you!!! And also - my mental image will remain of you crushing robots with a bigger/badder robot. Ha.
CD/DPO: 18 / 3dpo
Timing: -2,-1,0
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: nope
R/R: I'm feeling good today. Got a workout in and did some meditation/stretching. I've started folding clothes the Marie Kondo way but to relaxing music and made it into a meditation. It makes the chore a lot more enjoyable.
CD/DPO: 52/6
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: 15dpo, if no AF. (Yeah, that's Valentines day, but I'm figuring that I'll get AF on 2/13 anyway)
R/R: RAVE - we had an amazing potluck at work today. AMAZING. I'm so happy right now, and just want to take a little food-nap now.
CS/Q: Nope.
@littleredm I tried folding my clothes the Marie Kondo way the other day which actually does look really nice in my drawers! Not sure I'm folding my underwear right though 🤔

@littleredm Thank you so much! Glad you're feeling good today! Way to go on getting that workout/stretching in - it really makes the day start on the right foot! Glad you're keeping up with the Marie Kondo method!

@lcking82 I'm also supposed to test on 2-14. My RE okayed the 13th though. Potluck sounds great! We are planning 1 for July.... its sooo far away.
Update- the land is included!! We are going to see it again Sat and bringing the parents! I'm trying to remain calm but feel like we may have found IT!
