Re: TWW FRIDAY! 2/22
Month/Cycle: 16/17
CD/DPO: 15/3ish
Timing: 👍🏼👍🏼
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: not for a while
R/R: coming to you live from panting to death in my seat on the plane. Not only did I accidentally hit snooze this morning, but all the lines at the airport were super long and I just made it to my seat 7 min before take off. Security has NEVER been that bad here, what happened to my little airport?! Not sure my heart rate will ever come down. Mix in stomach issues due to waking up so early and I’m struggling 🤣 really hoping I just pass out. Either way, I’m super excited to get to Montreal this afternoon!
CS/Q: I got CH this morning! Temps still don’t seem very high, but we keep our house pretty cold and it has been cold outside which makes it colder. Yay drafty old houses
Month/cycle: 9
CD/DPO: 11dpo
Timing: B for effort
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: WFAF, just had a bit of spotting right on time so I'm guessing it's my last day here.
R/R: So yesterday morning I volunteered at the food bank with coworkers, and 11 of us moved 11,500lbs of potatoes in the first hour! We did sorting after that too. I am really sore because it was an oddly specific repetitive motion. My sweet hubby tried to give me a back rub but the muscles were so tight that I kept cringing away lol.
CS/Q: nope.
@b_1029 glad you made your flight! Have a wonderful time in Montreal!
@jennifer_louise hope the soreness goes away! So sorry about the spotting. I hate that AF starts that way for me, too.
Month/Cycle: 7/6 ( benched for one cycle AL)
CD/DPO: 30/11 Timing: excellent but it didn't make one bit of difference.
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: BFN, still spotting, so now just WFAF.
R/R: Now that I am pretty sure this cycle is a bust, I am not handling it well. I have a get together at a friend's house tonight, so hopefully getting out of the house will help my mood.
CS/Q: Nope. I am going back to temping as soon as AF arrives. I'm nervous about how early I started spotting and the fact that it sometimes goes on for more than a day or two.
@emeraldduchess sorry for the spotting and BFN I hope going to your friend’s house tonight is just the spirit boost you need.
Month/Cycle: 14/11
CD/DPO: 24/11ish
Timing: A++
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Not yet! Potential pee party tomorrow if no spotting tonight? Sorry in advance if I bail, testing stresses me out.
R/R: We watched the movie Coco last night, because my brother has been harassing me to watch it. It was so so so good but both MF and I bawled our faces off. My poor honey, the sudden loss of his grandfather over 15 years ago still haunts him so that was hugely triggering for him. Maybe not the best choice of movie to put on at 10pm in bed but we're glad we finally saw it.
CS/Q: Temps still holding, but that never means anything because my temps usually stay high until the day before AF.

@b_1029 I know, it's one of the saddest things how our cycles are totally opposite!! You're one of my faves, though, so I'm always stalking you from afar.
@emeraldduchess I'm right there with you today, friend. Disappointment is a massive understatement, every time. 😢 I *think* spotting is normal but I'm not sure about how long it normally lasts. For me, I always get AF cramps like 4-5 days before CD1, and now I'm worried that's not normal either. Doesn't seem like a great sign.
@kiki047 excited for your wedding planning appointment!! And lol about Coco. I still Haven't seen it yet either.
@b_1029 When you get back, tell me about all of the awesome things you did/ate in Montreal! MH and I are going there for a long weekend together next month! Have so much fun!!!

@jennifer_louise So sorry about the spotting. I’m so impressed with you guys moving that many potatoes. No wonder you’re sore! Sounds like a good time to treat yourself to a massage.
@emeraldduchess So sorry you are spotting and BFN. I hope getting together with friends helps cheer you up a bit.
@kiki047 Yay for wedding planning today. Hope you’re able to discuss those last few vendors you need to book and tick a few items off the old to-do list. Coco also made me bawl my eyes out, but what a good movie! Your chart is looking pretty!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: 11-13 days
Testing: Maybe pee party tomorrow? I almost caved and tested today but I stayed strong!
R/R: Had a nice day yesterday but was feeling really lethargic after my massage so didn’t get much done. Today I need to do a workout, make meals for the weekend, go grocery shopping... and then it’s back to work for the weekend. I’m hoping I’ll have a few minutes to come and play here this weekend if work isn’t too busy!
CS/Q: Still looking good but trying really hard to not get my hopes up
TTC since 9/2018
10/19- First RE visit
2/20- DH had surgery for bilateral varicoceles

@jennifer_louise sorry for the spotting. Always a bummer and easy to just feel totally down, so good for you channeling that energy into helping others! Hope the soreness fades quickly.
@emeraldduchess sorry for the spotting ad BFN. I think it’s fine and healthy to just let yourself feel that disappointment and do kind things for yourself right now. I hope hanging with friends takes your mind off the disappointment and/or provides some comfort.
@kiki047 good luck with the wedding planner! Always exciting to cross more things off the big To Do list.
@misshelen86 good luck staying calm. The last few days of the TWW are such an emotional minefield sometimes. Good for you staying strong and even keeled!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: Solid B+/A-. -4, -3, -2, O
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: nope, gonna WFAF, or try to, talk to me in a week when that feels impossible
R/R: My rant is also a rave. Rant is I’ve been struggling with coughing/wheezing during and after exercise for a few years. I just kept ignoring it and really got used to wheezing (yeah, dumb). Also came down with bronchitis after two different half-marathons. My husband started pestering me about it not being normal and my mom reminded me that she was diagnosed with asthma in her late 30s (I’m 38). Anyway, got the diagnosis and an inhaler and the rave is HOLY MOLY I CAN BREATHE. I ran yesterday and didn’t cough or wheeze and I feel like a new woman!
CS/Q: nah, not right now
@b_1029 you made it though!! sounds like a doozy of a morning. Hope your trip is awesome
@jennifer_louise I can't even visualize what 11,500 lbs of potatoes would look like! Sorry about the spotting
@emeraldduchess sorry about the spotting but I hope your get-together tonight brightens your day a little
@kiki047 Coco is SO good, but so sad! I saw it in theaters and was openly weeping. Hope your venue visit is fun!
@misshelen86 massages make me really lethargic too. Way to stay strong today!
@rachelredhead I'm the same way...always saying I'll WFAF. So, so hard. And YAY for being able to breathe!! Amazing. So glad you got the inhaler. Game changer.
Month/Cycle: 3
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: very good
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: I said I'd wait, but if I'm being honest with myself then next Tuesday
R/R: I'm feeling very thankful that it's Friday and I can decompress after an eventful 2 weeks. I haven't had any time to just chill. All I have on deck is cleaning my house -_-. I wish I were one of those people that didn't push it off until things are messy. One day...
CS/Q: nope
@jennifer_louise - That's a lot of potatoes! That's great you guys were able to help out so much! Sad to hear about the spotting.
@kiki047 - I hope your meeting with the wedding planner goes smooth. What type of venue did you choose? I totally cried when I watched Coco too, especially during "Remember Me"
@misshelen86 - I hope you get to play this weekend.
@rachelredhead - hooray for being able to breathe!
@mvc003 - I hope you get a relaxing weekend.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -1,-2,-4
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: I had said Sunday, but that only puts me 9 dpo. Maybe Monday, but again, I don't feel good about due to temping. So we'll see. Maybe I can hold out until AF expected to arrive on Thursday the 28th.
R/R: More of a random ramble: I hosted my bunco group this week so I've been cleaning like crazy. Now that's it's over, I am trying to find the motivation to clean up. FF finally pinpointed O. I'm trying to figure out the best route of how to deal with temping next cycle since I get such interrupted sleep. I'm thinking I'll try adjusted temps for a month and see if that helps. It's currently snowing with the sun out. It looks like there are millions of specks of glitter in the air.
CS/Q: nope.
@kiko47- the Coco movie is super sad I think even DH cried when we watched it , but the wedding planning sounds fun
@b_1029- glad you made your flight, that sounds so stressful, have a great time in Montreal
@Jennifer_louise, I hope your muscles feel better soon, sorry about the spotting
@emeraldduchess sorry about the spotting hopefully your get together with friends makes you feel better
@mvcoo3 I am awful at cleaning during the week I always wait until things are messy , but at lease you can decompress
Month/Cycle: 12/9 I think
CD/DPO: 22/4 or 5
Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0 if I O on day 18 if it was day 17 then its those +1
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: not unless late
R/R: today has had a rough start, I spilled coffee all over my jeans when I stopped at the gas station and I was too far from home/running late to go home and change so now I smell like coffee, the only good thing is our car tire was making a odd noise so we were going to have to rent a car and get new chains to go to Tahoe and DH fixed it so now we don't have to shell out the extra money and it will be less stressful and Ill actually be able to have relax
CS/Q:no
@jennifer_louise yowza that's a lot of potatoes. What a cool way to spend the morning though! Question, does YH normally give ok/decent backrubs? Cuz I feel like MF is capable of it but he purposely tries to hurt me so I'll never ask him to do it Is it a guy thing? My Dad used to give good foot rubs because that was something my grandparents used to do for us as kids but his hands are so dry and scratchy, now it feels like he's trying to exfoliate me // sorry about the spotting, *hugs* I am anticipating that'll be me in a day or two. Also, definitely watch Coco sometime, it's worth it but is a tear-jerker.
@emeraldduchess ugh, I hate spotting. I'm so sorry. I feel like I'm going to copy & paste your update in a day or two when my spotting begins because DITTO.
@misshelen86 Your chart looks sooo good! Meeting went well! She's going to vet some vendors for us and check their availability and send us a list. Right now I'm choking on the cost of hair/makeup. Geez Louise!
@rachelredhead that's great that the inhaler is making such a huge difference for you! Woo hoo!
@mvc003 I was forewarned that it was sad but it still caught me off guard how profound it was. TBH that's why I've been avoiding it for so long because I have a hard time choosing movies where I have to make a choice like "Do I want light and funny, serious and somewhat dark, or award-winning but will probably make me sob like a baby?" Crying hardly ever wins these days, I do enough of that on CD1 and randomly throughout my cycle.

@Rachelredhead yay for breathing! That's too bad that you had to go through so many years of discomfort though. Good on you for running though--I typically don't in the winter. The cold hurts my lungs! (I know, I'm soft but whatevs).
@spacemountaineer I love sunsnow!! We get that sometimes too, so pretty.
@bean1818 I secretly love when I spill coffee on myself. I ways have like hazelnut or vanilla or snicker doodle flavored coffee and love the smell so much.
@mvc003 well let me tell you what that much potatoes looks like! It was basically ten palettes full of 5lb bags. I hope you get to relax a lot this weekend!
@bean1818 so many tears. Your timing was great this cycle, FX for you! Sorry about your crappy start this morning, but yay for your tire. Hope you have the most relaxing weekend away!
@jennifer_louise slightly jealous of YH's backrubs. I give a great backrub but it's never reciprocated so I just get grumpy that I put so much time and energy into it and he's all

@jennifer_louise I've already cried twice today because I let hopes get too high and now I'm 99% sure this cycle was a fail. So don't feel bad if you burst into tears. 💜 Hugs to you.
@bean1818 have a great time in Tahoe!
@spacemountaineer the song "Remember Me" is why I don't think I could watch Coco. Like, ever. I can't handle movies that make me cry!
@mvc003 hope you get some down time this weekend.
@rachelredhead you must be so glad that you can finally breathe!
@misshelen86 good luck with getting everything done! What meals are you making?
@jennifer_louise 10 pallets?! that's an insane amount of potatoes to be lifting!! Your poor back! I hope it feels better
CD/DPO: 33/22 (DPO is estimated)

R/R: None that I can think of right now.
CS/Q: No chart, since it's a bit blank, but I'm currently 7 days late. I had one little splotch of spotting, but nothing since then. No cramps, nothing. I'm honestly not sure if I'm out or not.

I screwed myself over at work this aft because I was off in the morning doing wedding stuff and now I’m stupidly swamped. Add in a bunch of other crap and my mood is just garbage. All I want to do is come home to MF and decompress but instead he’s not even here, and *tw* instead he’s been spamming me with pics of him and his nephew. So the obvious thing to do is POAS. It’s a BFN, because why the hell would it be anything else (also, I’m maybe 10dpo and it’s not FMU but it’s still stark white). Why did I do that? I’ve had no inkling to even go near a test. Am I just a masochist?
