R/R: finished my 3k in 27 minutes on Saturday, which wasn't bad considering I've been pretty lax on exercise since October. Had a fun date night Saturday evening but woke up yesterday with a sore throat. Still feel terrible this morning and kind of wish I called out sick and stayed in bed. Gonna make a hot tea with honey to sip at my desk.
CS/Q: thought we had such great timing this month but I'm guessing not. I keep telling myself it's better to wait until next cycle for school scheduling but it still sucks.
@kimmer1412 sorry for the bfn! Glad you had such a nice weekend though!
Month/Cycle: 27/1
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Wednesday if I can hold out
R/R: had a nice relaxing weekend. Dh wanted to make vday gifts this year, so spent most of yesterday doing that since he was working. I don’t think he realizes what he’s gotten into. I can be pretty crafty with my silhouette cameo machine 🤷🏻♀️😆.
CS/Q: pretty sure I’m out and the progesterone is just keeping temps high at this point.
@kimmer1412 sorry about the BFN. I know nothing about 3ks but sounds like you did great to me! @kerco925We are slated for snow tomorrow ad well. I'm hoping enough to cancel DS trip (only a day thing). But I'd rather none.... @kbrown2385Oh man! I hope he loves whatever it is your coming up with! Sorry your feeling out, I'm on the same page.
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: "Good"
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Wed unless RE says sooner.
R/R: Definitely have a migrane and irritated that I can't do anything about it.
CS/Q: Like K, I think I'm just holding in temps due to the P. I feel out. Sorta crampy and had some brown spotting this morning. Now I'm worried the P isn't actually doing good enough (spotting at 10dpo isnt exactly a good thing for the LP). Going to email the RE and see what they think. I know it's still a pretty chart but we've all learned that means nothing 🤷♀️
Testing: ya bro I am going to test starting at 8 dpo haha.
R/R: welp like many of you we should be getting snow tomorrow. I hope its not much though, but we'll see. I'm leaving early today for a computer test for a job I applied to. I really wish I had just taken the whole day off today, but I do have two absolute must-dos on my list today so I had to come in.
CS/Q: So I am not entirely positive of my O date, since I'm not temping i just go by the OPKs. I got a positive on Saturday morning. However, my CM seemed to dry up later that day, but then it was kind of back again Sunday for a brief time. I also had some cramps on Saturday. So.. not sure, but I guess we'll see.
@kimmer1412 good job on your race! I'm sorry about the BFN. Also, feel better!
@kerco925 I'm really not looking forward to snow but I hope you get your snow day!
@kbrown2385 Wow I admire that you are making gifts for each other!
@prpl11butterfly sorry about the spotting - I hope your RE has some insight for you. Sorry you're feeling out.
@prpl11butterfly - I really hope the spotting is a good thing (implantation?) not a bad thing.
@creamcheeseplease - Good luck on your test for the job! I'm also not quite sure of my O day, but FF thinks it's sure
Month/Cycle: 10/9 (1 AL)
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -5, -2, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 12, I think
Testing: Probably starting around 9-10dpo, since I bought a pack of cheapies to track my HCG down to 0. So next Sunday or Monday?
R/R: Really hoping for a normal week, with no surgeries or hospital stays or illnesses. Just a normal boring week. My stress levels have been through the roof.
CS/Q: Cautiously moving over here to the TWW because my temps are kind of all over the place. But there was no mistaking the EWCM.
R/R: I gave my 2-week notice last Friday. Everybody was sad but my boss acted super weird. Like she was asking me where I was going and if they were hiring. She researched the company and everything. I would bet my last paycheck she is going to apply to my new job lol.
CS/Q: FF said I had a triphasic chart this cycle. I got woken up by AF-type cramps this morning. Huge temp drop too. Looks like I am out. On to Cycle 11...
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!! EDD: 2/22/2020 Baby girl born 2/27/2020 7/18/2019: Total Motile Count at 3 months post surgery = 51 millions!! (number must be >20 millions to conceive naturally).
@kimmer1412 don't pay too much attention to timing. It doesn't mean much. Some people end up with a BFP with just 1 time in the FW and some, like me, end up with BFN despite excellent timing. We have a sperm count problem in our case but remember, you only have a 20-25% chance each cycle if everything is perfect. You could be having sex twice a day from CD10 to CD25 and there would still be a 75-80% chance of a BFN. Good job on the 3K. Don't worry about time. You crossed the finish line and that's what is important.
@creamcheeseplease good luck with the test! Why don't you temp? Sorry if you've told us many times.
@marebear15 I hope you have the most boring week! Welcome to the TWW.
@brookert615 argh, sorry you're feeling out too. Looks like WTO is going to be busy.

@rikiteacup That's awesome you finally were able to put your notice in! That's wild that your boss was acting like that! Sorry you're feeling out as well. I'm going to have to wake up early so I can get a start on the WTO thread LOL.
@rikiteacup congratulations on giving notice! How funny about your boss. That is probably a sign you’re making the right choice to move on. I don’t temp out of laziness basically lol, no real reason. I keep thinking I’ll start and then I don’t.
@rikiteacup@marebear15 dh is military so we’ve moved quite a bit in the past 10 years. This isn’t it exactly, but something similar. Im making it on a canvas instead of in a frame.
Testing: In true form, I started at 7dpo because I'm one of those people who needs to test forever so as not to get my hopes up with one big reveal.
R/R: I was up much of last night sick to my stomach. Of course, I want to think it's symptoms, but more likely my long work weekend and the amount of junk and hummus I ate yesterday caught up with me. Thank goodness for the snow delay we had today because this morning was rough.
CS/Q: My chart is ugly, but still above cover line.
@rikiteacup: weird boss, definitely! Congrats on getting out!
bump app making things difficult this morning! Briefly- I’m 12dpo (by OPK) on CD58. BFN this morning, so I’m waiting at the pharmacy now. Going to get my Femara and Provera ready. Fingers crossed that AF comes tomorrow or Wednesday, so I can avoid taking Provera (really just don’t want to wait another 10 days of pills...)
Im disappointed but NOT surprised. Just ready to get going.
@sorarose I have reddish brown hair and I'm thinking of doing a brown to red balayage! I just need a hair cut because my last one I donated 12 inches of hair and had a lob so it's real fluffy lol. So sorry you're not feeling well! Glad having the delay helped!
@brookert615 That's exciting about your hair! What kind of cut are you getting and what color?
@rikiteacup congrats on getting to put your notice in! That's so weird about your boss, especially with her being so blatant about it.
Month/Cycle: 14/14
CD/DPO: 24 / 9 dpo
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: not yet
R/R: Not feeling super great today. My back and neck have been hurting a lot and been really sore and tight. The weather's temps have been jumping around like crazy lately so I don't think that's helping. We were in the 80's a few days ago and in the 30/40's over the weekend.
@littleredm I'm adding in more red and getting angled layers (coming from a lob)! So sorry you're not feeling great! That's crazy how the temp jumped that drastically! Hope you're able to find some relief soon!
@littleredm hope your body recoups soon. Achy is not a fun way to feel.
My RE said what I already know. Spotting and cramping don't actually mean anything either way. Wait and test Wed as planned 😑🙄 But the nurse is asking the Dr about taking my migrane meds. FX for a yes or "try this instead" RX....
@bookert615 I keep stalling on my third donation. The last two times were 12 and 10 inches. This one will be another foot, but I’m starting to get more and more grays, so I guess I’m waiting until I decide what to do since I’ve never colored it. This isn’t a good pic, but I have lots of red in it naturally and I’m worried about what would happen if I touch the color. I’d definitely have it done at a salon.
@kbrown2385 Love it! Are you using Canvas People? Always good quality and they ship fast, with an overall cost as just a shipping price.
@lcking82 I hope your body gives you some sign, or at least that the pills work quickly if this cycle isn’t it for you.
@rikiteacup How do you feel about your boss trying to follow you? Congrats on leaving.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 I’m not having it printed on a canvas. I’m using a blank canvas I got from Michael’s, basically pull it off the frame, paint the frame and canvas and reattach to the back of the frame. It’s called a reverse canvas. Before reattaching I’ll apply what I want and then mod podge over everything to seal it. Once I’m done I’ll post a picture for you.

@kerco925 - FX for a snow day! I love those, but we rarely get them here in Florida.

@kbrown2385 That's sweet you and DH are making each other gifts.
@prpl11butterfly Hope you get answers soon and your LP hangs on a little longer, if nothing else.
@creamcheeseplease I tested today at 7dpo because I have issues with peeing on all the things. I'm in your camp.
@marebear15 Hope you get your boring week!
@brookert615 What are you thinking about for cut and color? Anything drastic?
@rikiteacup I hope you feel a weight off your shoulders giving your 2 week notice. Your current boss seems interesting...
