Re: TWW Weekend 2/9-2/10
CD/DPO: 27/5
Timing: Great
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Probably 7dpo to ease myself into it.
R/R: This is going to be a busy weekend. Having lunch with a friend today, but then I work tonight, tomorrow morning, and tomorrow evening. Also have an assignment due this weekend that I have to put the finishing touches on at some point.
CS/Q:Was woken up after 3 hours of sleep and then another 3 hours of sleep. Took temps both times and were only .06 apart and reasonable, so that's a plus.
Month/Cycle: 27/1
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Wednesday. I think it will be pointless though.
R/R: going shoe shopping for dh today. Hopefully we don’t spend too much money. He can get a little extra about his shoes. Really need to get my grocery list and meal plan set for shopping tomorrow. Other than that, it’s gotten much colder from the past few days, so hanging out inside I’m the heat lol.
CS/Q: Didn’t get good sleep last night so I don’t necessarily agree with my temp today.
@kbrown2385 I think we're all sick of the cold!
Month/Cycle: 20/18
CD/DPO: 29/16
Timing: nope
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: BFN yesterday
R/R: probably hanging here for the weekend until AF finally shows up now that we know IUI #2 didn't work. My cat has been snuggling with me since yesterday so she knows what's up. She knows I'm sad. I didn't cry yesterday. I thought I took the bad news way better this time but I woke up this morning wanting to cry. Got that out of the way along with hugs from DH so now it's time to look forward to IUI #3

@kbrown2385 have fun shopping. I need to go shopping for clothes but my body keeps changing so I feel like it's a waste of my time and money. My DH goes through shoes faster than anyone I know so he is always buying them.
@kbrown2385 my little bro is "extra" about his shoes. MH is soooo far from that. I just wish there was middle ground. Maybe buy yourself a nice pair too 😉
@inthewoods23 cats are amazingly intune. Glad shes showing some love.
Month/Cycle: 19
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -4, -2
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: 13th/ 12dpo
R/R: egg. Nothing exciting happening. Going to a home expo today because why not.
CS/Q: slight drop. RHR also dropping. Feeling out but not because of those, just because. Let's see how the next few days go....
ETA chart correction. I noticed todays dip seemed more then I thought it was when I checked my therm. Turns out half asleep I entered 98.3 and not 98.39 (which i did have to double check, thank goodness for the memory feature)
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: no more, just waiting for AF.
R/R: I know I'm out this cycle. So I'm waiting on AF. I was bummed because I am never sure when DH is working these days and he just took an out of town job to make some extra money before our move this summer. I looked at his schedule and we should be able to have good timing next cycle. So that is reassuring.
CS/Q:
I missed you in my last post....
How are you measuring your RHR? I would like to incorporate that into my charting.
@inthewoods23 I'm glad it wasn't as bad this time. Cats are a-holes 90% of the time, but they're usually there in a crisis.
@prpl11butterfly idk what you're talking about, that is one pretty chart! Enjoy the home expo, that sounds fun.
@kbrown2385 OoooOooOh shopping! My husband is the opposite of extra when it comes to shoes. He finds a pair he likes and just keeps buying the same ones, and gets super depressed when they're discontinued.
@emeraldcity603 sorry you're feeling out. I hope you're wrong, but I'm glad timing will be on your side next cycle!
Month/cycle: 9
CD/DPO: ? / ?
Timing: Meh
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: not a chance
R/R: I thought I O'd already but then I had some watery CM last night, so now I'm wondering if I might be wrong. I was hoping not charting would kill the BSC but it turns out that's not possible. Rave: weekend!! Bagels for breakfast this am!!
CS/Q: nope
@kbrown2385 I hope shoe shopping goes well with your dh. Mine is the same way. He drives me nuts.
@inthewoods23 *hugs*. Cats definitely can be so in tune with our emotions.
@prpl11butterfly have fun at the home expo! I would love to go to one.
@emeraldcity603 I am sorry you are WFAF. That must be tough dealing with your dhs work schedule.
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14ish days
Testing: not sure
R/R: dh is helping a friend out all day. I may go hang out with my parents today, haven’t decided. Otherwise, just cleaning around the house and I have some work I brought home to work on. But, I also foresee myself doing very little of that and just laying on the couch watching the birds with coffee and a book.
CS/Q:
@jennifer_louise mmm bagels!
Here's the snuggly cat on me this morning. I can't get up to go shower...

CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: Probably 9dpo, but I keep lying to myself and saying I am going to wait longer this month.
R/R: I am looking forward to a low key weekend. Generally, I hate being home all day, but the last few weekends I have been all about it. It's probably the winter weather.
CS/Q: nada
@holly321 curling up with some coffee and a book sounds wonderful.
@kerco925 enjoy your quiet weekend.
@kbrown2385 LOL at “a little bit extra”! Is he really picky about look and feel or a total brands guy? Mh has been eyeing up a dsw coupon that recently arrived, so we may be finding him shoes this weekend too. Can’t say I’m excited about it.
@inthewoods23 what an adorable kitty! Enjoy those snuggles!
@prpl11butterfly have fun at the expo!
@emeraldcity603 glad timing is looking good for next cycle, but sorry you’re feeling like you need to be thinking about next cycle 😕
@jennifer_louise sorry to hear there’s no way around stressing out ttc. Did you ever have your little getaway with YH? I’ve been thinking about you & hoping you’re well, month buddy.
@holly321 hope today brings some nice relaxation vibes!
@kerco925 glad you can stay warm in all this cold!
Month/Cycle: 9
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: wfaf...Maybe Monday or Tuesday if my temp holds out
R/R: rave: visit with my mom went pretty well. Rant: see below.
CS/Q: I cannot get a solid sleep before I need to temp. I temped an hour early after a bit of tossing and turning and failing to fall back asleep, then temped at my usual time after falling asleep a few minutes, and they were pretty nearly the same temp. Read for a while, dozed off, and temped again, and now my temp is below the cover line, so feeling like af is coming for me. Well, at least this cycle confirmed that I do ovulate and that my lp seems fine, so not a total waste.
Edited to fix cd
@kbrown2385 did you get your shipping update? Looks like we could be starting next cycle with our tempdrops! Of course I hope we don't end up needing them still!
@holly321 sounds like a nice relaxing day! Enjoy!
@prpl11butterfly have fun at the expo! We have one in the area this weekend and dh wanted to go. We don’t own a home though, so not worth it for us haha. Maybe just to walk around and dream.
@emeraldcity603 you’re review is what made me want it! I can’t wait to not have to manually temp anymore!
@kerco925 I hope you enjoyed your time at home. Sometimes just being home all day is the best.
@inthewoods23, aww, your kitty is the cutest. I may be biased though
Month/Cycle: 3
CD/DPO: 28/?8?
Timing: -4,-2
Typical LP length: 11-16
Testing: since CD 5 ha! I’m BsC here
R/R: just got my OvuSense this month for temping and re-joined The Bump. Excited for new beginnings. I also just got a cover up tattoo that I’ve been waiting to do for almost 2.5 years. Besides the BFNs it been a pretty awesome month.
CS/Q
@begging4abump I find I get frustrating nights like that too. It's hard to really know if any of those temps are accurate after such a restless night of sleep I find
@holly321 That sounds like my kind of day!
Hi, it's me, the always last poster of the night ;-) I'm going to have to try posting earlier, but it's what I like to do in my downtime and I'm on the west coast so it's earlier here than I imagine for a bunch of you. I just miss out on the chit chat.
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: Great
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: Gonna hold out until Tuesday (11 DPO)
R/R: Sooo I got my progesterone test (7 days after ovulation) yesterday and I got my results! 27.7 nmol/L. I think that's around 8.7 nm/mL. Initially, when I read the results I was excited because according to the medical website it was within ranges, but after going down the internet rabbit hole I started worrying if it's too low. There are some sites that say that it is ideally around 30. But then I saw that some people still got pregnant for much less than this. So I'm trying to not let my obsessive brain go crazy and remind myself of a few things: it fluctuates throughout the day, I may have been off by a day or 2 with ovulation because my temps went up 3 days after my positive OPK, and also that I can do something about it. Kinda hard though.
CS/Q: All good here.
