  • *lurking* I’m so sorry, @b_1029. That’s just crap. Go home, karma/universe, you’re drunk.
  • @kimmer1412 your chart looks so good! I'm so excited! 

    @b_1029 my heart sank when I read your post. I'm so sorry. Take all the time you need we will be here when you come back. I'm also going to echo @inthewoods23, your body isn't dysfunctional. I wish I could give you an actual hug. ❤

    @inthewoods23 I'm glad your sink isn't clogged anymore! 

    @lcking82 I'm glad you had a good appointment yesterday. 

    @holly321 my hair only has gray hair in a fee spots but those spots keep growing. I finally got some low lights to helps them blend. 

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 24/9

    Timing: -4, -3, 0

    Typical LP length: 10-12

    Testing: tomorrow 

    R/R: last night I started feeling nauseous which means I'm totes pregnant. It has nothing to do with all the greasy food I ate yesterday. No relation whatsoever. 😂 

    CS/Q: my temp shot up this morning. I am going to bet Tempdrop adjusts it down some tomorrow. It may be so high from me traveling yesterday. Either way my chart has me so hopeful. 
  • @b_1029 So sorry to hear that, but please don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Plus, December is just as nice a month as November anyway. 💜
  • Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD/DPO: 26/10 or 6?

    Timing: decent either way

    Typical LP length: 12-13, but it was 8 and 10 the last two cycles

    Testing: pee party Thursday?!

    R/R: I have had 3 night of uninterrupted sleep!!! I still woke up earlier than necessary because my body has gotten used to it, but it feels amazing. 

    CS/Q: hot mess, even with the new thermometer
    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*

  • @b1029:  hugs to you, dear. 
  • @holly321 have fun at your hair appt! I finally got my app to work again after like a month.

    @lcking82 hope you get a good number on your progesterone!

    @inthewoods23 FX so hard for you for tomorrow!

    @b_1029 I’m so sorry. You do what you need to do for your mental health. I know how frustrating it is for your body to not do what humans were designed to do. ((Hugs))

    @kimmer1412 good luck testing tomorrow

    @emeraldcity1214 what a pretty chart!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Month/Cycle: 6/5

    CD/DPO: 31/14

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 10ish w/o medicine. But I did Letrozole + Prometrium this cycle 

    Testing: I tested Sunday and Monday, both BFNs.

    R/R: Love that I work with my OB! I messaged her Friday to say I was spotting. Monday at work she pulled me into an empty labor room to ask me if I got my period yet and discuss next steps. 

    Im just waiting on AF right now. But I think the next couple months I’m not going to take any medicine. I’ll temp to see if we had good timing, but we aren’t going to TRY try. It’s only been 6 months but I’m already exhausted from the pressure to have good timing to not waste my medicine, and it’s like I have exhaustion leftover from the last time we TTGP ((***TW*** which took 15 months. ***end TW***)).

    CS/Q: none

  • @holly321 Sometimes you need a little break! Sorry things have been tough lately  <3. You're not alone on getting grays! I colored my hair for two years and then when I went to grow it out it was like SURPRISE!  :D  

    @lcking82 So happy your appointment went well! 

    @inthewoods23 Oh my gosh - nothing is more annoying than plumbing that doesn't want to drain! Happy it's back in action now! Good luck testing tomorrow!

    @b_1029 NO!  <3 My heart is breaking for you, I'm so sorry! Take care of yourself. Hope that going to visit your parents is just the right medicine for you to find comfort! 

    @kimmer1412 Good luck testing tomorrow!!! Your chart is still pretty even with a little temp drop!

    @emeraldcity1214 You're too funny! Hopefully it is KU feelings! Good luck testing tomorrow!

    @NYTino24 So wonderful about your sleep! Hope you can keep that momentum going!

    Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD/DPO: 23/7

    Timing: Great

    Typical LP length: 11-13

    Testing: WFAF. Even though our timing was great I just don't feel optimistic about this cycle.

    R/R: DH has man cold AGAIN. I ask him if he wants medicine and he grumpily denies it. I might just sleep on the couch tonight lol.

    CS/Q: Nah!

  • @inthewoods23:  I feel like your sink was constipated and probably feels much better now!

    @brookert615: I’m sorry your feeling pessimistic for this cycle. I am too (but had terrible timing, so...), hopefully spirits lift soon!
  • Lurking*

    @b_1029 so sorry for the bfn. Get yourself a full fat drink from Starbucks today and take care of yourself. ❤️
  • @NYTino24 yay for good sleep! 

    @daffodil_shoe I'm sorry for the BFNs. 

    @brookert615 I'm sorry you don't feel optimistic. If it makes you feel better I have seen several ladies who have felt this way and then they ended up with a BFP. FX for you! 




  • @lcking82 Thanks! Same to you!!!  <3

    @inthewoods23 Mwhahah! I might say that to him tonight LOL. 

    @emeraldcity1214 Thanks for the encouragement!  <3 I don't know what I would do without you lovely ladies!

  • @rikiteacup:  I'm sorry about your grandfather, but I understand that sometimes knowing that your family member is no longer suffering can be a sweet solace.  
  • @holly321 any hair appointment is exciting!

    @lcking82 I hope you get good results. 

    @inthewoods23 you must have had a massive clog! Glad it's resolved now. You just reminded me that I need to go online and buy a new garbage disposal. It is clogging the sink and it's bad. This reminds me of a story. I buy bagged lettuce. For some reason, the lower drawer in my fridge freezes whatever vegetable is in there. So I had a few leaves of lettuce that were partially frozen. Nothing major but I put them in the garbage disposal and it clogged the pipes. Water started leaking everywhere in our finished basement. It was a shit show!  :D  

    @b_1029 I am so sorry <3 The good news is that you have a RE appointment soon. I hope you get good answers soon.

    @kimmer1412 No more flat temps, yay! And about feeling pregnant, from allthe forums I've read, most people who felt pregnant had BFN and the one with a BFP felt "TWW normal".

    @emeraldcity1214 That is a great looking chart. You are en route to be triphasic  ;)

    @NYTino24 glad you got some good sleep. It can change a person.

  • @holly321 Hope your hair looks awesome. My grays are coming in fast and I haven’t dyed it yet. It’s a crazy auburn color with interesting highlights on its own when the sun shines on it, so trying to match it isn’t going to happen. I’m dreading trying to do upkeep if I color it!

    @lcking82 Great news!

    @inthewoods23 woohoo for better drainage. Have you used Tubshroom? I have super long hair and it catches everything!

    @b_1029 :( Thinking of you!

    @kagesstarshroom Glad you were able to pinpoint O.

    @rikiteacup I’m sorry for your loss and that you won’t be able to go. FWIW, I have been told that you can contact your federal legislative reps and their office can expedite passports in an emergency.

  • Month/Cycle:  4/4 (1 AL)

    CD/DPO:   I can't remember what day we are on- and I believe it's 4 DPO- although things have been a little wonky here this cycle for a number of reasons

    Timing:  potentially good- but hard to really say

    Typical LP length:   13 days

    Testing:  not unless temps stay up- although I'm debating whether or not to continue temping for the rest of the month......at the same time- I really don't want to go through taking a test for a BFN.  I feel like it's easier somehow emotionally to just see my temp drop on my BBT

    R/R:  This month has been crazy.....my temps have been all over the place a bit in the beginning I feel like and then they spiked.  In addition to that- the CB advanced test stick thing died- Of course it died- right when I needed the damn thing.....thank god for amazon prime and I got a new kit sent to my house that day when I discovered it was dead- however I still think that I most likely O'd early this month.  But I'd love to see what everyone's thoughts are on my chart.....I'm not sure why there were so high- other than we are sleeping with our bedroom door shut due to our houseguest- and we normally don't do that.  I was hesitant to trust the 2nd rise after the dip- but based on the fact it's been staying high now- and the OPKS have been negative- I'm pretty sure my chart is right.  but any input is much appreciated.  It's been an overwhelming week at my new job.....looking forward to a day to "sleep in".

    CS/Q:  Just any input on whether or not we think I did actually O on day 14 I believe?? Is what it looks like- any input is welcome!

    @holly321   sorry about the gray hairs- but hopfully getting your hair done will make you feel better!!

    @lcking82- @lcking82  glad your appt went well!!

    @inthewoods2@inthewoods23 fingers crossed for you girl!! Glad you got the sink to work!!

    @b_1029 I'm @b_1029  I'm so sorry about your BFN.  My heart hurts for you.  Please be good to yourself!

    @kimmer1412 @kimmer1412  temps do look good on your chart!! FX for you!

    @emeraldcity@emeraldcity1214  how long total have you been using tempdrop for?

    @NYTino24 h@NYTino24  hooray for uninterrupted sleep!!

    @daffodil_sh@daffodil_shoe   TTGP is exhausting for sure.  Especially when it's something we want so badly....

    @brookert615@brookert615  I feel ya- our timing was potentially good- but I'm not feeling we overly optimistic here either.....Man cold are THE worst!!!!

    @rikiteacup@rikiteacup  so sorry for the loss of your grandfather 

    @kagestarshr@kagesstarshroom  I loathe cleaning- I will find just about any valid reason to leave the house and not clean!!!



  • @MNturnsVA Sorry about your CB advanced dying! Can you attach your chart so we can look at it?

  • @MNturnsVA I have used it for a solid year now. I highly recommend it however, it is not a temp only method. You have to track CM simultaneously. That way you can confirm a shift with temps and CM. It keeps people from trusting "shifty" shifts, which are temp shifts that meet the rules but the CM doesn't dry up after your shift. "Shifty" shifts are usually found in PP charts though so they aren't super common. 

    PM me if you have anymore questions. 
  • @MNturnsVA ya temps can be quite wonky after a m/c. It does look like a decent shift to me though.
  • @MNturnsVA:  I would agree that it looks like a good shift to me, and I would agree with FF on O day. Where’s @marebear15 - she’s a good chart reader!
  • @MNturnsVA - Temps are a little wonky, but cross-referencing your cervical position gives CD14 the CHs. Did you happen to check your CM any of those days?
