Re: TWW Friday 3/1
Month/Cycle: 3/3

Timing: -4, -3, 0
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: 3/7 at the earliest.
R/R: we went to the Houston NASA museum yesterday. It was fun. DH was over the moon to see the 747 they had the shuttle sitting on. He is really into planes. Today we are hitting up the science museum with a friend. Should be another fun day.
CS/Q: my temps are looking good and steady. None of my temps changed when I synced my Tempdrop today.
Eta: cd/dpo
@emeraldcity1214 sounds like a nice little vacation!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -1, -3, -4
Typical LP length: 10ish w/o medicine
Testing: Sunday
R/R: My coworker called in sick 30 minutes before she was supposed to start her shift last night. One of us always has to be there in the event of a stat csection, so guess who had to work 16 hours yesterday? Yep, you guessed it. Four of the hours are time and a half, but still. Who waits til 30 minutes before?
On a seperate note, I decided to go ahead and fill a 2-week progesterone Rx the other day, so I’ve been taking that. Still had a temp drop this morning though.
CS/Q:
@daffodil_shoe the app I am using is overdrive. It is connected to the public library so it is free. A lot of books have long waiting lists, but one or two I had on hold come available sooner than it estimated. That’s crazy / unthoughtfulof your coworker waiting until the last minute to call it!
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: B+
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: WFAF
R/R: I’m off work today and going to the chiro here in a minute! Hope to get cleared to do some heavy lifting again!
CS/Q: Nah!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 21/2 or 4?
Timing: uhhhh I don’t know... pretty solid if I’m right about O
Typical LP length: about 12, but the last two have been 8 and 10
Testing: nope, see below
R/R: My thermometer needed to be thrown out. DH’s and mine did not agree with temps at all, so I ordered a new one. I am kind of unsure about O since some of the temps don’t make sense. I also always get multiple days of positive OPKs, so this one is a big guess. We have a busy weekend and I’m not feeling well, but I’ll try to be back for replies and tags.
CS/Q: not worth looking at

@holly321 I love audiobooks, i listen to them free through my local library at work, it's so awesome to get paid while working/"reading "

CS/Q: temps slowly rising so that's making me feel a little better
@holly321 I'm trying to go see everything 1 more time before we move. So there will be lots of sight seeing in my future.
@brookert615 enjoy your day off.
@NYTino24 hopefully your timing is great. Its frustrating when your chart doesn't make sense.
@emeraldcity1214 the NASA museum sounds fun!
@daffodil_shoe that's crummy of your coworker to do!
@kimmer1412 nothing like sitting around at work. We had our server go down a few weeks ago from a power outage so we sat there for a good 2 hours too.

Surprise BFP!! | 9.7.25 | EDD 5.11.26
CD/DPO: 29/9
Timing: Solid, but not perfect
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: too early but I’m pretty sure I’m out. Temps have dropped the last couple nights and I’m feeling some light cramps that feel like impending AF. I expect AF on Tues so will prob test Sun or Mon if she doesn’t show by then.
R/R: this is just a crap week/weekend as a dear family member likely will not make it through the weekend. It’s wholly unrelated but he’s someone who I really wanted to know me as a mom, he’s like a second dad. So. Just crying a lot and accepting that this season is a rough one.
CS/Q: nope, sorry to be a downer!
Edit: to add words
@emeraldcity1214 your chart is looking great! Hope you guys have fun today!
@daffodil_shoe wow that's so crappy of your coworker. Way to screw over others!
@brookert615 hope your appointment goes well!
@NYTino24 lol the struggle is real! I'm sorry you're not feeling great.
@kimmer1412 how annoying that you can't leave if things aren't working! Are you doing anything fun to your hair?
@inthewoods23 hmm sounds like she's a bit unprepared haha. You never know! Yay for almost being done with taxes, I hate this part of the year. DH is always running around like a maniac and driving me nuts to try and get everything to file earlier so we can get our puny refund sooner.
@rachelredhead oh man, I'm sorry to hear about all the tough stuff going on and for impending AF on top of it all.
CD/DPO: 22/10
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: on Wednesday if no AF before then
R/R: I can't really think of much today. My boss is in a terrible mood this morning (not towards us, but basically towards everyone else). I never know what to say when she goes on and on. Also really hoping that they fill our empty position and I get the promotion I applied for...progress is crawling though. And...TGIF!
CS/Q: nope. Just trying to force myself not to SS. Every. freaking. month I think "do my boobs look veinier? they totally do right?" ....clearly not since I've never been KU
@b_1029 Really hope you get that promotion! Would you be in charge of the people that always work from home? That’s too funny about your SS comment 😂.
@inthewoods23 That’s crazy they didn’t have stuff prepared! Also how exciting about getting your taxes almost done!
@kimmer1412 So exciting about your hair appointment!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@emeraldcity1214 Oh museum dates are so much fun! Your temps are looking fantastic.
@daffodil_shoe Sorry you had to stay late at work. 16 hours is awful. Not something I normally do, but I will admit to being guilty of calling out an hour before shift once. I thought I would be okay to go in but then at the last minute realized I physically couldn’t do it.
@brookert615 Hope things go well at the chiro.
@NYTino24 Hope you feel better!
@kimmer1412 Hair appointments are the best.. especially the scalp massage! What are you planning to do with your hair?
@inthewoods23 I can’t believe how unprepared some people are. I am also a planner, so that would bother me. Yay for taxes being almos done.
@rachelredhead I’m so sorry about what you’re going through. My thoughts are with you.
@b_1029 Sorry about your boss’s mood. Way to be professional right? FX you get that promotion!

Testing: BFN again today on a FRER
R/R: I’m still here stuck in some kind of limbo between TWW and WTO. I have the weekend off and looking forward to spending some time with friends tomorrow. Tonight DH and I are staying in for pizza and movies.
CS/Q: Since I’m past my usual luteal phase and temps haven’t dropped that much, wondering if I either O’d later than FF thinks or if I had a LUF. Any thoughts? I’m on nights now so my last 2 temps are open circles.

@holly321That does seem early, but temps do seem to support it. I think you said you were skipping OPKs this cycle?
@rachelredhead That’s sad. Are you able to see each other this weekend?
@inthewoods23 That’s tough. Are you getting money back?
@kimmer1412 That’s dumb. Was there work you could do offline?

@nytino24 i haven’t used opks in a few months. My O date had been getting consistently shorter lately. I personally think I O’ed yesterday.
@misshelen86 I could see you being only 14 dpos too. Sorry you are in limbo!
@b_1029 I made dh do a thorough boob inspection last month, since they looked different to me! I hope your work issues work out soon!
and I don’t agree with ff either, st least I am not convinced. I was crampy that day though, so maybe? I am confident I have O’ed though, just don’t know when!
