R/R: I forgot to rave about this yesterday - for the longest time the kitchen sink has been draining at a snail's pace. I've tried a number of products to clear whatever clog their is but it never helps. The sink is fairly large so sometimes it would take over 10 minutes to drain. So I wash some dishes on Monday and was letting the sink drain when all of a sudden there's this weird noise and the water started draining so fast that it was empty in 10 seconds. Idk what the heck happened but now it drains really fast! Yay!

@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.
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

@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
@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!
@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!

@brookert615: I’m sorry your feeling pessimistic for this cycle. I am too (but had terrible timing, so...), hopefully spirits lift soon!
@b_1029 so sorry for the bfn. Get yourself a full fat drink from Starbucks today and take care of yourself. ❤️

@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!
@inthewoods23 Mwhahah! I might say that to him tonight LOL.
@emeraldcity1214 Thanks for the encouragement!

R/R: Just got an email from my dad that my grandpa died. He was 10 days shy of being 88. Everybody is relieved. He's had Alzheimer for the last 10+ years so you can imagine how bad he was physically and mentally. I won't be able to go to the funeral (overseas) because I am waiting for one of my passports to arrive (I have dual citizenship). Ah well, such is life.

@holly321 the whole site, let alone the app, has been weird since they did that vanilla update thing? Like, I can't see anyone's avatar most days? I reuploaded mine, but I still can't even see mine. Your chart/timing look good!
@lcking82 Glad your appt went well!
@emeraldcity1214 That is a good looking chart!
@inthewoods23 Your drain sounds like my laptop... maybe it's Mercuty Retrograde? It started yesterday, and it's supposed to mess w/ technology/slow things down, but maybe for us it's making them work... BETTER? I haven't even complained about my laptop bc I just haven't been using it it's been so effed, but today I decided to try and... voila! It goes direct 3/28, so we shall see...
Month/Cycle: 6/4/1AL
CD/DPO: 27/6
Timing: n/a
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: n/a
R/R: My main rave is that my laptop is magically working again (see my comments above to inthewoods for how I think some backasswards astrology has fixed it... it was REALLY fixed at first, but now is starting to slow down again though, so... Rants: i have to clean the house before DH gets home bc I said I would, and I don't wannnt tttoooo.
CS/Q: chart is irrelevant for the most part, but I'm glad my temps are staying above the coverline bc it reassures me that FF is probably right that I O'd, though it was late, this cycle. Woot.
@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!
@b_1029 I am so sorry
@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.

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!!!
