*sigh*

Month/Cycle: 21/19

CD/DPO: 26/12dpiui

Timing: bad

Typical LP length: 15 medicated

Testing: BFN

R/R: I was really hoping we wouldn't have to move on to IVF.... When we first started seeing the RE it's what I thought we should have done anyway with the low morph is DH's SA but she considered us an unexplained case and IUI is where they like to start with that. *Sigh* well, glad I didn't wait for the blood test on Monday. Might test again on Saturday to be really sure.

CS/Q: no

b_1029 · March 2019

Damn it @inthewoods23. I am so sorry

Eta I hope it’s just too early. FX for Saturday!

holly321 · March 2019

@inthewoods23 I am sorry for the bfn!

Month/Cycle: 26/3 A/L

CD/DPO: 18/8

Timing: not sure

Typical LP length: 14/15 days

Testing: tomorrow

R/R: if I put another high temp in like I had the last two days, ff moves my crosshairs, so I have no idea what our timing was.

daffodil_shoe · March 2019

**lurking** @inthewoods23 I am so sorry. I was crossing everything so hard for you. I had high hopes with those numbers this month.

begging4abump · March 2019

@inthewoods23 ugh, I’m sorry. What crap. Ugh. I hope it’s just too early to test.

@holly321 ff is messing with my ch too. Stupid charts.

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 24/2...but ff is saying 3 🤷🏻‍♀️

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0 and possibly -5 depending on o

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: depends on my chart. If the #s look good, maybe next Saturday

R/R: I’m really relieved to take a break from hio. ED for a week was a little much. I got too excited about finally having signs of fw after having a longer than usual wait, and then I didn’t want to miss the more important days. And now onto that pineapple in my fridge!

CS/Q: chart looks really strange to me with where ff stuck ch...

@inthewoods23 crap 😔. I’m so sorry.

lcking82 · March 2019

@inthewoods23: ugh. Im so sorry.

inthewoods23 · March 2019

@b_1029 wishful thinking. Some don't see a positive until 14dpo right??

@begging4abump wow ED for a week!

Thanks all for the support. Getting a negative at home was way easier to deal with than receiving a call so Monday will definitely go easier.

marebear15 · March 2019

@inthewoods23 - Ugh, I know you believed it was a bit of a long shot, but a chance is a chance. So sorry for the BFN.

@holly321 - CD10 still looks good for O, I think. Maybe a triphasic shift?

@begging4abump - I agree with you on your O. FF likes to call O the day you get a positive OPK, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Month/Cycle: 11/10 (2 AL)

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Pi day! (3/14, a week from today)

R/R: I'm over here, which means we won't have to do any more super quiet floor HIOing, because both of us are too self-conscious of how our bed squeeks.
My parents have been gracious guests though, bought us dinner once, and we are going out again tonight too. Which means I don't have to cook, or do dishes

It's finally supposed to get warm again today! Highs around 60 degrees, and there's sun too! This week has been dragging, but today is Friday-eve.

CS/Q: CD14's temp isn't super accurate, so it's also possible I O'd that day. But I don't feel like messing with temps and fighting FF. So CD13 it is! Also, I feel like these last few cycles I've done the bare minimum to get CHs. No more temps for a week.

kpearse99 · March 2019

@begging4abump your timing looks GREAT!!! You're a champ for doing ED! haha FX for you!

@marebear15 60 degrees sounds wonderful! I am so over this cold... we are supposed to get a rise in weather temps this weekend too but with rain. When will it stop raining?!?! Also, your timing looks great, too!!

Month/Cycle: 6/3 (AL)

CD/DPO: 17/1 (I think.... I'm still on this whole "Trying not to try" kick...)

Timing: Not the best... actually pretty upset about it but DH was traveling at the end of last week and then I had a stomach bug, then I traveled Monday and Tuesday and then DH got the stomach bug. We managed to HIO 3 times... but overall I am just ready for this cycle to be done. It's so disheartening sometimes. I pretty much "had my way" with MH this morning just to get one more BD in

Testing: I think I'll just be WFAF this time around

R/R: Just so ready for this week to be over, I feel so unmotivated. Looking forward to a date night Saturday night so DH and I can just have sometime to ourselves!

CS/Q:

brookert615 · March 2019

@inthewoods23 I am so sorry about the BFN, but it could be still early! Still holding on hope for you!

@holly321 Good luck testing tomorrow! Your chart is looking fantastic!

@begging4abump You've been a busy girl, now time to relax a bit lol. Enjoy that pineapple!

@marebear15 Mad props for keeping up the HIO during your FW with your parents there! That's nice they have been good guests! Enjoy your dinner tonight and the weather today!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 11-13

Testing: WFAF.

R/R: I was feeling really PMS-y last night and I had to go to the store to get DH medicine. I ended up getting a bunch of snacks, more multi vitamin gummies as well as fish oil gummies so DH will actually take it. I was a bad girl and ate sour patch kids after my workout and a square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with salted caramel. Suprisingly enough I lost another pound by the morning. I guess that shows the magic of simple carbs timed well lol? Anyways, almost 100% sure I'm out. My need for candy has AF written all over it.

CS/Q: FF moved my O date by a day so now I'm 9 DPO. This cycle has been very different since my O date is now three days earlier than I usually and now I'm praying that my LP isn't all wonky!

eta: I repeated myself

.

EmilyLove25 · March 2019

Just coming in here to say I am so impressed with @marebear15 and @begging4abump and your DTD schedule. I need to get your motivation and dedication. EOD is too much for me even! Impressed!

holly321 · March 2019

@marebear15, I have triphasic charts about 50% of the time and TW 50% of those end in a bfp ( if I had a cp in October too like I suspect). So, based on previous history, I should get a bfp tomorrow if that is the case. That’s good about my hio! When we were moving and staying with my parents that was always so uncomfortable!
@brookert615, I ate taco bell for lunch and had a soda for dinner and was down a pound, I was so perplexed, but good to see it isn’t just me! Ha! Sorry that you feel out!

marebear15 · March 2019

@kpearse99 - That karate school sounds fun! And so thoughtful to let you have a night out. What will you be doing with that time?
Oh, btw, we don't mention our LOs in this thread unless it's extremely important to the conversation. You might want to edit your comment.

@brookert615 - PMS and pregnancy symptoms are the same, so don't count yourself out yet!

@EmilyLove25 - Thanks! The last couple of cycles have been no reserves. We are tired of waiting, lol.

@holly321 - Ooh! 50% chance of seeing a BFP is a good chance!!!

brookert615 · March 2019

@holly321 That's awesome! Maybe our bodies do sometimes know lol

@marebear15 Thank you!!!

eta: tag

kpearse99 · March 2019

@marebear15 ahhhh thank you!! I'm so used to posting in one of the other weekly threads that I forgot which one I was in. Sorry about that... I edited!! DH and I will be going out for a date night

kpearse99 · March 2019

@brookert615 I gave in and had chocolate after my workout yesterday too

I felt so guilty but I feel like it's been awhile since I had chocolate so I did a little "treat yo self" therapy!

lcking82 · March 2019

@kpearse99 and @brookert615: sometimes a little treat is necessary!

@marebear15 and @beggingforabump: I agree with others - impressed by the HIO schedule. Wow. (particularly with visiting parents!!!)

Month/Cycle: Month 10/Cycle 7

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: awful, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: 3/14 (which will be 14dpo, so depending on how temps look, may hold out until AF? My hopes are SO LOW for this cycle).

R/R: I have the stuffiest headcold right now. Yuck!

CS/Q: none. Still temping (said I would quit after confirming O), so I think I'll keep it up through TWW.

brookert615 · March 2019

@lcking82 Love the way you describe your timing lol! Hope you feel better soon!

brookert615 · March 2019

@kpearse99 It came out of nowhere! But yes, sometimes you do need to treat yourself! We posted at the same time so I must've missed you, sorry! Hope you and YH enjoy that date night!

rikiteacup · March 2019

@lcking82 your timing isn't bad at all. You only need 1 BD session to get pregnant.

I will be back for tags later!

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: Sunday at 8DPO

R/R: I am so happy for above freezing temps starting tomorrow. Some days will still be below freezing but it's a start. This has been a rough winter. I need to move to an island in South Pacific where the temp is around 80 year round.

CS/Q: nothing special going on

lcking82 · March 2019

@rikiteacup: it's just a little depressing to see that we couldn't manage to get any other sessions in the window; when the next cycle starts it leaves you feeling like you didn't do enough, ya know?

brookert615 · March 2019

@rikiteacup I hear you about the annoying cold! It's 21 degrees here today! So over it! I agree about moving! Although I would prefer to live in the Caribbean and be a beach bum that has a bunch of rescue dogs lol.

kiki047 · March 2019

Lurking to give some hugs to @inthewoods23
and some major props to @begging4abump and @marebear15, you guys get the A++ timing awards this month!!

kpearse99 · March 2019

@brookert615 and @rikiteacup I'll meet ya both someplace warm for the rest of my life! haha this cold weather is for the birds and I am over it!

brookert615 · March 2019

Welp, I think I'm out ladies! Pretty sure AF is here, glad I have my heating pad at work! Wishing you all luck testing!

kagesstarshroom · March 2019

**lurking** (I am busy writing a midterm but came over here to lurk test results.)

@inthewoods23 Sorry about today's test & good luck Saturday! HGC levels can be super small to super a lot in early pregnancy, it seems they're all over the place, so I am glad you are retesting then in case. I'm glad you have a plan moving forward for the next cycle if you need it. So many hugs.

marebear15 · March 2019

@lcking82 - Pee party buddies!

@rikiteacup - Glad it's starting to warm up for you. Winters are rough, and I hate the cold.

@brookert615 - Ugh, so sorry about AF.

lcking82 · March 2019

@brookert615: Ugh, booooo AF! Is this super early?

brookert615 · March 2019

@lcking82 This is very early!!! I had LP issues for a while and it started getting longer. This cycle was so different so I'm hoping it's a fluke!

rikiteacup · March 2019

@inthewoods23 so sorry about your BFN.

@holly321 where would FF move your CH? I wouldn't worry too much about timing. 1 time in the FW is all that is needed. According to FF, our timing has been excellent 90% of the time and still no BFP for us.

@begging4abump Wow, you've been active!

@marebear15 jealous of your warm temps. I am glad you won't have to worry about about HIO on the floor anymore

@kpearse99 I hope you'll end up with good timing. This seems to be the recurring theme today.

@brookert615 everytime AF comes, I go get to Mike and Ike. They had Sour Patch Kids at work and they are so good. The blue ones are my favorite. But I need to stop. More gym, less candy!

brookert615 · March 2019

@rikiteacup Girl, eat that candy right after your workout! You don't have to feel the slightest bit guilty about it as long as you don't overdo it on the calories. There's a science behind it! Helps replenish your glycogen stores in your muscles and will not turn into fat as it would if it was not post-workout! I used to eat toast with grape jelly all of the time! LOL

keikilove · March 2019

I’ve gotta post and run, it’s only 7:30 am here and there are already 32 comments on this thread! Gah! Hard to keep up.

@inthewoods23 I’m so sorry, hugs to you. What a road your IUI journey has been. Hang in there!

@everyone else, have a great day (afternoon for most of you) and try to keep away from the candy! Who am I kidding? It’s sugar city over here too...

Month/Cycle: 10/7/2 AL

CD/DPO: 17/6

Timing: FF says “Good”, but I think it’s very questionable and disappointing.

Typical LP length: Anywhere from 10-13 days. Body has been weird the last 6 months.

Testing: FF says not until March 17. F that. Will start on March 10, let’s get this over with.

R/R: Just feeling yucky about this cycle and also very hard to keep up w this board because there are always so many posts by the time my day starts and the site is so difficult lately that I try to get tags up and post a response but most days I can only lurk. End rant!!!

CS/Q: WTH is up w flat-ish temps? I finally got a slight rise today, but it’s not my normal pattern. Could this also be an effect of the new progesterone cream?

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ng/hf1wqeo9c61f.jpeg

ETA: Sorry, I think my entire post was a rant! Very sorry if I brought anybody down with my negativity!

holly321 · March 2019

@rikiteacup it moves my ch to cd 16. I don’t mark when we hio when not in what I assume is fw, so I think we had a day, but not sure.

kagesstarshroom · March 2019

@keikilove I like how there's almost a CURVE in your chart? It's kind of pretty? Sorry you are feeling negative about this cycle =/ And I feel you on the "there's already X posts!" but that's bc I'm in CT but probably truly because I am not a morning person haha oops.

ETA: ***lurkingggg***

aukeev · March 2019

*lurking from the TTGP grad group*

So sorry about your BFN, @inthewoods23 and your AF symptoms, @brookert615. I've been lurking today hoping to see you both post in the grad thread.

lcking82 · March 2019

@keikilove: I agree with @kagesstarshroom - you're chart has a y=x^2 curve! It's pretty - no idea about the progesterone causing that...

brookert615 · March 2019

@keikilove This board is hard to keep up with!!! I also think the temp curve is pretty!

keikilove · March 2019

@kagesstarshroom & @brookert615 & @lcking82 Thank you for the positive reinforcement! I’ve just never seen this before in my own charting—my temp was about 97.9something for 4 days straight. @lcking82 I have no idea what that graphing formula means but you make it sound like a good thing so I’m smiling.

Thanks!

NYTino24 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 27/7?

Timing: okay

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

Testing: not today...I thought it might be 11dpo, but FF says no since my temps are all over the place. There are some huge jumps and dips that make me feel like this is not the cycle, but who knows.

R/R: We had special, Read Across America Day, wrote thank you letters, had lunch, and then the kids spent the rest of the day testing with the G&T teacher... so I did a ton of organizing, cleaning, and grading. Can’t wait for spring, and only 15 weeks exactly until summer break!

CS/Q: FF thinks I ovulated on CD 20 now. I think that my body and my new backlit $17 thermometer suck. I need to pull the directions out of the recycling because it’s apparently not idiot proof or it’s not working correctly. PS the # means I used the BBT adjuster from around 5 am to 3:30 because I was being woken up a lot around that time.
