CS/Q: nope.
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: pretty sure AF is headed here, cramps and falling temps
R/R: productive weekend, but definitely messed us from DST!
@MrsVP614: Monday blahs here too! This week may be fairly busy for me, so at least it will go quickly?
@mrsvp614 not having a functioning kitchen is so hard, hope you can wash/cook soon!
CD/DPO: either 22/6 or 22/12. I lean towards 6 since no pms symptoms yet
Timing: unsure. I had ch so I stopped tracking hio
Typical LP length: 14/15
Testing: not sure, I had tested a few times, but now I will wait for a bit
R/R: I have to work 5 days this week, which is not my normal, so it sucks. Plus, the dog woke me up 3-4 times, I am ridiculously tired. But, I am looking forward to my lunch, so there’s that.

R/R: Daylight Savings is kicking my butt. Too tired to think.
CS/Q: Nada
@MrsVP614 Going without your kitchen is miserable! We could at least prep for our renovations since it was planned, but crockpot meals are only enjoyable so long.
@ejoseph16 for some reason the Monday comment made me think of Garfield...and now I want lasagna.
@lcking82 sorry about the temps. I have been spending too much time looking at my chart and trying to will an increase.
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD/DPO: 26/6
Timing: rabbit
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: only if temps get my hopes up
R/R: I’m off next week, but mh can’t take off, so I need to start planning out my time so I don’t waste it! I’m hoping to balance taking care of house needs as well as getting some me/hobby time in. There’s a canvas that I want to work on, and maybe I should also break out a sewing machine for the pile of clothes that needs fixes. And of course there’s the drywall that needs some skim coating. Ooh, and maybe gardening if weather cooperates!
cs/q: I’m trying to pretend that 5dpo was an implantation dip. Also, my chart gets more colorful in the tww.
@kerco925 mh has decided that he likes dst. It’s becoming a topic I don’t ever want to discuss with him. Ha, I hope you can get some energy today.
@littleredm been missing you friend and thinking about you. Hope you and your fam are doing well, and so sorry for the interrupted sleeps.
@ejoseph16 family dinner sounds lovely!
@MrsVP614 are you remodeling the kitchen? You'll have to post a before/after shot!
@holly321 that is a baffling chart! I'm not sure what to think. No other mucus observations? (I suppose you stopped keeping track after CH too...). Sorry about the 5 day week. It really is a bummer!
Month/cycle: 9/10

Timing: Almost SMEP
Typical LP length: 11
Testing: Doubtful
R/R: why yall up so early today? Dang. I feel like I have the same rants as everybody else: Monday, DST, tired, etc etc. But rave: hubby cleaned the house yesterday while I was out and about, that was a nice surprise. We also did a lot of cooking yesterday which I hope will mean more healthy eating this week.
CS/Q: too lazy not interesting
@begging4abump I hope you enjoy your time off! Sounds like a good week to catch up on a lot of stuff.
@holly321 sorry about your extra day! Hopefully it’s a relatively fast week for you.
@littleredm what a rude awakening! Nothing can get you out of bed faster than a dog throwing up 😑.
@MrsVP614 exciting your kitchen is being worked on!
@ejoseph16 glad you had a nice time with your family!
Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: fail
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: nope
R/R: The weather was so nice yesterday! Temps got into the 70s. We were able to open all the windows to air out the house and get outside and clean up the front yard. Unfortunately it won’t last too long and we will be back into the 40s soon. It really did lift the spirits though and made me want spring even more. I can’t wait until it’s like that every day.
CS/Q:
@littleredm and @lcking82 the truest words I’ve ever heard is that they should make an alarm out of the sound of a dog throwing up because that gets you up reallllll quick!
Good luck to everyone in the TWW thread!
@MrsVP614 - Hopefully temping helps you figure out your cycle. Has it been irregular?
@littleredm - Ugh, what a rude awakening. Your day can only go up from here!
@holly321 - If you are 6dpo, that dip looks promising.
@kerco925 - DST is so hard to adjust to!
@begging4abump - Wow! Sounds like you are going to be busy during your week off. I have a pile of clothes too, that's just sitting, waiting for mending.
@jennifer_louise - Bet YH got some brownie points for cleaning the house. I need to do more meal prep, but I can never find the time on the weekend. I'm lucky if I get 20 minutes to sit down.
@kbrown2385 - It's so hard to go back to winter weather after such a nice day!
Month/Cycle: 11/10 (2 AL)
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Thursday, Pi Day!
R/R: I'm a little tired from the time change, but I'm super excited to have light in the evening for an extra hour! I'd much rather have light in the evening than in the morning.
This weekend was another crazy weekend. I went to a cops PR event that had free food, games, activities. Then squeezed in all my shopping, laundry, dishes, and house cleaning before heading off to a birthday party at a park. it was fun being busy the whole day, but my feet hurt!
DH meanwhile worked on our fence and gate, burning a ton of brush in our backlot, and fixed our toilet. We are both beat from this weekend!
CS/Q: No new temps for a few days.
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: I clogged the toilet at work. Fortunately, nobody knows it was me. We've now ordered a new plunger that seems to work much better than the one we had. We had to call maintenance to unclog it
I also clogged the toilet at my previous job but this time it overflowed and I was frantically cleaning the floor ASAP because talk about embarrassing. I am now taking my Miralax religiously. We only have 1 toilet in our office so I am going to be stressed out about this for a while
CS/Q: Nothing out of the ordinary.

@MrsVP614 did you have a kitchen remodel? What did you have done? Do you have pics to share?
@littleredm oh no!!! Sorry about that. I hope your dog is OK.
@lcking82 it's hard to say since you are missing a few temps but I would say they are on the up trend.
@holly321 what are you having for lunch?
@kerco925 There should be a law that says employers need to give you some time during the day to catch a quick nap after DST
@begging4abump sounds like your 1 week off is going to be busy.
@jennifer_louise sounds liek you had a great weekend. Enjoy your healthy meals! We took this week off because we have so many leftovers from the weekend.
@kbrown2385 wow, I am jealous. It was 30 and sunny yesterday and I opened all the windows. It snowed the night before but since it's March, the sun is more powerful so the roads were dry by lunch time. It's going to be over 32 all week and I am ridiculously excited. Weather man says we should get 70 in 2 weeks!!
@marebear15 sounds like you have a busy weekend!

@rikiteacup is right - it is harder to say with my missing temps (skipped this weekend).
I guess they don’t call it the “wait” for nothing. Pfffdddddt.
Month/Cycle: 21/19
CD/DPO: 30/16dpiui
Timing: nope
Typical LP length: 15 medicated
Testing: BFN Thursday and yesterday
R/R: the progesterone appears to be doing a good job keeping AF away because WTF am I still doing here 😅. I thought I would at least have spotting by now since this is well past my usual LP length but no. This is giving me stupid false hope that I'll get a positive beta today even though I've had BFNs at home. Going in for the blood test in the early afternoon. I had light cramping on my right side around the middle of last week so I thought it was a good sign. Hope to be off the crazy train soon....
ETA - I forgot my rave!!! The competition this weekend was great! We won an award that qualifies us to compete at the championship in April! Woohoo!

Month/Cycle: 18/17 or something like that.
CD/DPO: CD50.
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Typical LP Length: usually about 12-14
Testing: I last tested on Saturday and it was negative. I’m gonna test again on Thursday unless AF finally shows.
R/R: This cycle never ends. I literally haven’t been this late since I was in high school and was misdiagnosed with PCOS. I haven’t been late at all since I was in my early 20s. I just want to know, one way or the other. Also, I hate my job.
CS/Q: none.
Diminished ovarian reserve
BFP: 4/14/2020 EDD: 12/20/2020
Month/Cycle: 10/7/2 AL
CD/DPO: 21/10
Timing: A day late & a dollar short?
Typical LP length: 10-13
Testing: 2nd BFN this morning. Will keep going till AF shows cuz why stop now
R/R: Rave: DH helped me all weekend w everything. Rant: Soooo tired today from all the weekend projects.
Thank CS/Q: Temp drop this am, plus cramps. This happened last cycle too: cramps a full 5 days before AF is due. It must be the progesterone because I never have cramps except day of period. Considering getting off this stuff... Nevermind, the app won’t let me post chart today.
@marebear15 well here’s the thing. I’m usually a regular 28 day cycle, O on CD 14 or 15. My O was super late this cycle. So I’m lost right now. Technically, according to a few years of regularity, AF should be this Friday. It was strange this last time though, then O was almost a week late. So like I said, I’m not sure.
@inthewoods23 so sorry.
@rikiteacup I had stuffed mushrooms and a sweet potato, but we had a free drug rep lunch, so I ate that instead and will eat my yummy lunch tomorrow.
We have one private bathroom at my work, but there is a public one down the hall in the building, and it is a very spoken rule you must use that for number 2!
@marebear15 it is a good looking dip. And I doubt AF is coming if my first O date is actually correct. I hope you feel better from the time change soon. I always tell myself I am going to try and prepare with 15-30 minute changes and never remember!
@jennifer_louise a clean house is the best surprise. AFM, I do remember thinking I had EWCM when I shouldn’t but thought maybe it was seman (which hopefully means we hio more than I remember). We have had stomach bugs and colds, which affected our hio and I suppose is what is messing with my temps.
@marebear15 Luckily, my cycle has been pretty regular. Just trying to nail down my FW.
@rikiteacup Sorry about the BFN and toilet snafu!
@inthewoods23 @dreamscapes_ Sorry about the BFNs
I have a feeling I'm right behind you with my temp drop.
