    CD/DPO: 23/7 or 13. Leaning more and more towards 7

    Timing:  unsure

    Typical LP length:  14/15

    R/R: i was cooking a butternut squash last night, which I have never eaten because I don’t like the smell. While it was in the oven, I started to get itchy, then covered in hives an a runny nose.  Not sure if it was a complete coincidence or if I had an allergic reaction, but I didn’t eat it.

    @holly321 definitely sounds like an allergic reaction. Yikes!

    Timing: -5, -4, -2, 0

    Typical LP length: 12-14 days ish 

    Testing: eventually... if AF is a no show. 

    R/R: started back running last night! It’s been 2 months and I missed it so much! But I’m so sore today! 

    CS/Q: temp drop a bit this morning. Maybe due to exercise? Who knows.

    @holly321 That’s crazy about the hives. I take it that you’re feeling ok now? I’m not a fan of butternut squash normally, but there is one soup recipe that I enjoy. I don’t like the sweetness, but when it gets drowned out with thyme and cream, I’m on board. Anyway, fwiw, 7dpo makes sense to me too. Sorry your body gave you a fake out.

    @ejoseph16 I can’t say that I’ve ever missed running in my life. 😜

    Month/Cycle: 10/10

    CD/DPO: 29/7

    Timing: best I’ve ever had 

    Typical LP length: 12-13

    Testing: maybe Friday? We’ve got a wedding on Friday, so I’m hoping that I’ll have a clear reason to abstain from drinking.

    R/r:rave- looking forward to more mild temps in the forecast rant- I feel my hopes getting up for this cycle. I know that it’s just too early to know anything, but I keep obsessing. 

    Cs/q: ehh, the same as yesterday with another dot, but I fixed the ch from manual to fam, so it looks a little cleaner

    @ejoseph16 that’s great about running.  I haven’t been able to in a while because of back issues, I want to start again but always procrastinate.

    @begging4abump I feel pretty normal, still slightly itchy, which may be in my head, but I am going to take benedryl again.  And thyme makes everything delicious.  Good luck testing, hopefully the wedding will be dry for you..

    Timing: -1

    @holly321:  that’s so scary, and DOES sound like allergic/anaphylaxis!

    @ejoseph16 :  woo hoo for running!  Yay, you!!!

    @kbrown2385:  darn cat!  Why would he/she decide to eat a plant - that's so strange (I know they eat grass, but not generally other plants, right?)  

    @inthewoods23:  I know that's a tough decision to make, and hopefully your doc can help you decide (or give you any more info that might help).  I'm so sorry about the BFN (and now for the lingering wait for AF).

    @holly321 I have to use gloves when I work with zucchini/other summery squashes because they make my skin feel like it's shrinking, but I've never had trouble eating or--or trouble w/ butternut squash specifically. I think often our other senses are letting us know not to eat something, so good call on not eating it--though I love a butternut squash.

    @begging4abump GL Friday! I think that makes sense re: the wedding & all.

    @jennifer_louise Admitting it is definitely the first step!!! I walked by the cookie aisle & stared longingly yesterday, but resisted. hashtag resist.

    @kbrown2385 Boo cat! Yay seedlings! We keep talking about starting some seeds, and you're giving me motivation to do so.

    @inthewoods GL with making that decision. It seems like your plan to do one more IUI & then start the IVF in April is sort of a best of both worlds plan--give you time to talk to your RE, considers YH's opinion, and keeps you in line for the "best time" plans of the future, which I feel like I do, too, even though you're right & there's "never a good time,"--I still can't help but want to choose the "best" time" for something so unpredictable. 

    Month/Cycle: 6/4/1AL

    CD/DPO: 33/12

    Timing: n/a

    Typical LP length: 14-15

    Testing:  n/a

    R/R: DH is having a really rough patch right now & it's really hard on us. He is really up when he's up and reallllly down when he's down, and I am being as supportive as I can, which he acknowledges, but it's still hard. Additional rant: There is an "escaped inmate" near campus? All the phones are ringing--I got an email, a text, two phone calls on my call, one phone call in my office about it--we know we know just stop/get the guy already! / rave: I just really appreciate yall & having this space to talk about this stuff that I don't really talk to annnyone else about. Thanks.

    CS/Q: It was hard to get out of bed earlier, which is usually a sign for me AF is around the corner. Also, got some acne/facial hair growth (hello tweezers), which are additional signs. Hoping I am right and that she'll be here by the end of the week, since I was benched this cycle & looking forward to moving on--though my FW might be when I'm away if she does come when I think? My chart is like someone drawing tall thin mountains hastily.

    @kbrown lol, mh has been trying to get his palm clippings to survive, but the cat has other ideas. Cats are total jerks. Clapping at him hasn’t even worked.

    @marebear15 I think I’m sticking with Friday, but my hopes are all in for our little novTENber club. Right, @jennifer_louise ?

    @littleredm i hope your mom gets relief soon! Enjoy the orchestra!

    @kagesstarshroom Lol @ your description of your chart. But, about YH, that’s tough. Mh can get swept away with anxiety, and it is so tough on him, on us, and on me. I hope this rough patch passes quickly and that you all feel stronger than where you started afterwards. ❤️

    @littleredm Omg that sounds so fun!! Huge StarWars fan over here. You'll have to report back.

    @kagesstarshroom lol @ hashtag resist. It's the hardest after O and the first couple days of AF for me.

    @begging4abump @marebear15 NovTENber would be incredible, and also it would be almost impossible to come up with a catchy one for eleven. 

    @inthewoods23 just so sad this IUI wasn't the one for you. I see both points of view with wanting to move forward right away and also try another IUI first. But most of all, I think you're right that there's never a perfect time to have a baby, but it's never going to be terrible either.

    @begging4abump I hear ya... I tried so hard to tell myself I wouldn’t get my hopes up this cycle. I was so excited/nervous last time that my first HPT was an epic fail. I was shaking so bad I peed all over the stick! Lol. It doesn’t help that AF was late and got my hopes up. Ugh! FX for you! 

    @jennifer_louise girl, I workout to eat! I just lost 170 pounds to start our TTC process, so I started running to keep myself in check. That way the shenanigans of food can happen every once in a while! 

    @littleredm I found that running helps clear my mind. I get some of my best teaching ideas while running. And I can sort out stressful things in my mind as well. It helps me not focus on the pain. Lol

    @kagesstarshroom sorry about YH. Hoping you guys can get through this smoothly. That can be hard on both of you. :(
