Re: TWW Monday 3/4
CD/DPO: 15/5. Ff moved my crosshairs
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14-15 days
Testing: we shall see
R/R: unexpected day off work! I had to leave early for a doctors appointment, and since it snowed and I would have to go in late, I just called out.

CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -4, -3, 0
Typical LP length: 10-12 days
Testing: 3/7
R/R: it's Monday and I have a ton of stuff to do. Bright side is that I slept until 6 which is better.
CS/Q: Still looks good. I can feel the crazy trying to creep in but I am trying to keep calm and relaxed. I almost paos yesterday 😂 knowing it would be negative because it's way too early. I'm just itching to pee on one and get this over with. The anxiety is killing me. I didn't though because I refuse to get on the crazy train which is why I'm waiting until 10DPO. I want a clear positive not some faint squinter that I have to stare at all day to make sure I still see it. DH starts his new job this month so if this cycle doesn't work out, he won't be home during my FW next month. So it will be a wasted cycle.
Edited to put chart in spoiler
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 19/7

R/R: had a good weekend and managed to get my butt out of bed and workout this morning.
CS/Q: temps looking good so far
Month/Cycle: cycle7/month 9
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: not good
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: not unless I miss AF
R/R: rant: where did spring go? 😕😕😕
@kimmer1412 I was about to shower, but your post reminders/inspired me to work out before I do, so thank you!
@emeraldcity1214 hopefully this cycle works out for you!
@lcking82 what is this spring you speak of? 😂 We're a high of 8F today! Brrrr!
Month/Cycle: 21/19
CD/DPO: 23/9dpiui
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 15 medicated
Testing: I've decided on Thursday morning. We've got lots of people testing at the end of this week!
R/R: I had a bit of what I'm calling an anxiety induced rage on Saturday over the fact that DH has not been helpful around the house. Lots of stuff in places is all his stuff and it drives me up the wall because our house has never been tidy. Half our dining room table is taken up by things. It makes me really unhappy to look at. Hopefully by next month he starts working on organization -something he's VERY good at doing at work, but he's a total slob at home.

@emeraldcity1214 your temps look good! Fingers crossed for you.
@kimmer1412 good for you I keep telling myself I am going to get up early to go to the gym and it hasent happened lately
Month/Cycle: 12/8 or 9
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: not until Thursday if AF is a no show
R/R: my dad is still in the hospital but out of the icu and is feeling and looking much better . And we randomly ended up with a new puppy yesterday who is adorable and DH named Taco
CS/Q: no
@kimmer1412 good for you for working out. I keep thinking about it and then decide to do it another day. 🤦♀️
@lcking82 I don't know how you stop temping. I feel like that would drive me insane even more. Ugh, the TWW is torture in so many ways.
@inthewoods23 we are going to be testing on the same day. FX for both of us!
@inthewoods23 Oh man, I feel you on DH leaving things everywhere! Why do you socks need to be on the dining room floor, and your tools ALL over the house?! Why?!
@emeraldcity1214 Yay for making it another day without POAS! I think I'll be testing on Thursday too even though there isn't much of a chance.
@bean1818 I hope your Dad continues to recover well. Exciting to get a new puppy!
Month/Cycle: TTC since June 2017
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 10-12 but I'm pretty sure it's messed up because of surgery.
Testing: probably on Thursday, like a lot of us on this board! I'm going to try not to not buy any FRER and just use the Wondfos I already have, even knowing that they aren't as sensitive.
R/R: Rave: I took the day off work just to have a day where I didn't have to do anything. I'll still do some cooking and chores, but hellooooo Netflix! Rant: these estrogen patches are kicking my butt.
CS/Q: My chart is ridiculous looking, so no point in posting it
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: Very good
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: next weekend or 8 DPO
R/R: we saw all the in laws yesterday which is my least favorite thing to do. MIL wants all the women to go see a musical in the next couple weeks. She said we should do all the planning via text messages. This is where I stepped up and said I was fine with communication through text message as long as I was included in the messages. You should have seen their faces
CS/Q: I've had rocky temps this cycle. I was expecting today's temp to be above 98.3 to confirm O day on CD17

Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: Wednesday if no AF
R/R: I keep going back and forth between being pissed off that I don't feel KU and not caring because really, what's another month at this point. Our RE appointment is a month from tomorrow. DH is in Cuba so I'm super jealous, it's highs in the 80's all week and was below 20 here this morning. boo. In good news, I spent a sh*t ton of money @ Target last night on cleaning and organizing supplies...about to TURN UP tonight/this week on our basement. I'm excited.
CS/Q: nope
Edited because I can't type
@emeraldcity1214 this is a great looking chart. I hope this is your month!
@kimmer1412 good for you for working out early on a Monday morning. I've been meaning to try to do that for the last 5 years
@lcking82 I hear ya! It was bitter cold this morning (-10). It's freaking March. No more!
@inthewoods23 I totally understand the feeling. I hope your DH applies his skills at home.
@bean1818 first tag! I hope your dad recovers quickly.
@bakerstreetboys Enjoy your marvelous day of Netflix. What shows are you going to watch?
@b_1029 I hope this is your month! Also, Target runs are the best.

@emeraldcity1214 you can do it! stay strong and don't POAS until later! Hopefully this month works out
@kimmer1412 what do you normally do for workouts? Good job making it this morning! It's a big accomplishment for a Monday!
@lcking82 totally agree, I know it's warmer where I am than other places but I'm so over the cold.
@inthewoods23 FX for Thursday! That's frustrating about YH. We have the same struggles that you do and it's super annoying...plus I always feel like a nag, which I hate.
@bean1818 I'm glad your dad is better! Puppy pictures PLEASE! Such a funny name!
@bakerstreetboys enjoy your relaxing day of Netflix! If you watch anything great, please come back and report!
@rikiteacup thanks! I do too, but I'm pretty hopeless about it and tired of feeling this way
Edited - tags
ETA: all the women stuff are planned without me. I called them out big time for my SIL's wedding. They cried and apologized and said they would do better. Nothing has changed since. My H's family has been a sore spot for my marriage. My H had been in denial for so long until he couldn't ignore it anymore. So now, we have quarterly meetings as a couple to assess the situation and how we respond to it.

@lcking82 I almost also posted super early! But then I forced myself to get some sleep.
@b_1029 OooooOo Cuba, fun! Sorry it's so cold =/
@inthewoods23 MH is also good for leaving his stuff on every possible clear surface we have in the house. Like, what is the point of having a clear surface if he is just going to fill it w/ random stuff? I've gotten like baskets before and just swept all his stuff into them and put them on his desk--he never gets the hint and then is like "I can't find XYZ!" and I'm like "I put all your stuff in that basket?" lol so I don't know if I recommend that, but it DOES make me feel better than putting each of his individual things away if he's just going to put more junk more places again soon.
@bean1818 Haha it took me so long to get a good pic of our puppy bc she was so squirmy back when she was a puppy! I'm glad you wound up randomly w/ sweet, squirmy Taco.
@rikiteacup So glad you stood up for yrself w/ the in-laws.

Also, the fact that you have random neighbors yelling at each other just makes me giggle, and sounds VERY Louisiana, for some reason. (My best friend is in Lousiana, and some her neighbor stories are pretty out there).
DH decided if this month doesn't work out that next cycle if he is working out of town during my FW, I will just have to come with him so we can HIO when he gets off of work each night. My heart literally swelled with love for this man. I'm always getting mad at him for trying to fix things because most of the time, these kind of situations aren't fixable. He completely come through with this one. I'm excited that next cycle won't be a waste now.
