holly321 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 26/3 a/l

CD/DPO: 25/9. Or 15. I vote 9 now, since no temp drop and no night sweats. I feel pretty confident I am not getting AF today.

Timing: unknown

Typical LP length: 14-15 days

Testing: obgyn tomorrow

R/R: my dog actually slept through the night last night. That’s a rare occurrence. I have barely little I “have” to do at work, and my boss is out (so she can’t distract me, she talks all day!) so I can actually get a lot done.

CS/Q

Good morning everyone! Happy Pi Day!

@holly321 sounds like it should be a good day for you today! Glad your dog slept through the night and you (hopefully) got some solid sleep!

Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: nope

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: nope

R/R: going in for an endometrial biopsy today. Nervous as fuck since I don’t know what to expect. Hopefully it’s nothing crazy and I’m over analyzing like usual.

CS/Q: nope

edit words

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@holly321 I’m glad your dog slept through the night! It’s rough when they don’t. Our dog went through a phase where he was up every morning at 3am. Ugh.

@kbrown2385 FX for you for a positive outcome.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/7 dpo

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

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: If AF is a no show

R/R: went running again yesterday! Woohoo! Getting back on track finally! And my teammates class has been awesome the past few days. They’re actually working together instead of arguing, and we are getting some great learning in!

CS/Q: apparently when I exercise my temp drops slightly the next morning. There seems to be a pattern here...

begging4abump · March 2019

@kbrown2385 I’ll be thinking of you today. ❤️ I’m so glad that your re is finally helping you with checking things out. Sending good vibes your way!

@holly321 whoo productivity! GL tomorrow, o buddy!!

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 31/9

Timing: straight flush (...hoping it’ll give me a full house 😉🙄)

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: tomorrow with first response 😬🤞

R/R: having all the feelings. Yesterday morning I was planning out how to tell mh the good news I’d be sure to get; yesterday evening mh is scraping me off the couch to tell me it’s all going to work out one way or the other.
Rant 2- I always want to share my dreams (literal, like the ones during sleep) with mh, but my words ALWAYS fail at descriptions of them. It’s a weird thing to be frustrated about, but that’s where I’m channeling all my nervous energy right now.

CS/Q: More promising than last month

begging4abump · March 2019

Oops, hi @ejoseph16. I was thinking of you the other day. I ended up making lasagna on tues. 😂 thanks for the inspiration

holly321 · March 2019

@kbrown2385 good luck today! And yes solid sleep! Very few times over the last 10 years of having her!

@ejoseph16 my dog likes to get up in the middle of the night, when it is nice out and just stand in the yard. That’s great that you ran again!

@begging4abump gl tomorrow. Sorry your emotions are so up and down! Right there with you!

kerco925 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 4 AL

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: BFN this morning

R/R: I set myself up for a crappy day by testing today in hopes of a positive. *TW* Today was my due date with twins.* BFN stung a little extra.

CS/Q: Big temp rise this morning, but I am putting less and less focus on my temps later in my cycle.

jennifer_louise · March 2019

@kerco925 sorry for the BFN on what would already be a tough day. I hope you can go easy on yourself a bit today! 💜

@kbrown2385 report back after! I'm so curious to hear how it goes.

@begging4abump Ahhh yes, the last few days of the TWW are literal torture. Have you tried a dream journal? I did that for a while because I was so amused/intrigued by my dreams but they're so fleeting and hard to remember for me.

@holly321 I hope you get a lot done! Do you just have a regs checkup with your OB or is it TTC related?

@ejoseph16 I meant to say this the other day, but WOW on your weight loss! Are you to your goal now? Congrats!

Month/cycle: 9/10

CD/DPO: 19/7dpo

Timing: decent

Typical LP length: the last two were 11

Testing: no peeing on sticks here!

R/R: late start at work today, and early closure yesterday. The dumb thing is, I don't get paid. So I either have to make up those hours or take time off. (this is a recent policy change that I always feel like ranting about). Grrrr.... But anywho, it was a nice and relaxing day yesterday.

CS/Q: nope, temps holding steady and I expect them to stay up a few more days.

rikiteacup · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: BFN this morning. WFAF now.

R/R: I am starting to get swamped at work. The thing is we have people in a lot of different time zones so when I start my day at 8, I have like 20 emails to read.

CS/Q: I don't know if I am right nor not but if it's a BFN at 12 DPO this isn't good news.

rikiteacup · March 2019

@holly321 woohoo, 2 wins for you today!

@kbrown2385 good luck at your appointment today.

@ejoseph16 running and working out in general is so good for you. My H had his pre-surgery appointment this week and the doc could tell he was running as his RHR was so low.

@begging4abump FX for you! I totally get you. I have all the feelings too. Next month will be our 1-year mark and when we started, I thought I would have a baby by 2019. Looks like it won't be before 2020, at least.

@kerco925 many hugs

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@rikiteacup I'm trying not to think about it too much but also definitely having some feelings about how this month is the last one where I would likely get pregnant with a 2019 baby!

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 25/6

Timing: -5 and -2 only due to partner getting sick

Typical LP length: 13-14 days

Testing: nope. Did just go to the doctor for a progesterone test though to make sure I O'd.

R/R:

CS/Q: I left this in yesterday's TWW after my newbie threat post but it was late at night so just putting here too in case anyone has thoughts! --

Is anyone else just doing OPK's and not BBT? I did BBT for a few months very diligently but just found that it made me overanalyze and wasn't helpful!

kagesstarshroom · March 2019

@whitealbum29 BBT definitely makes me overanalyze too, but I like that the chart gives me something to look at? And something to... analyze! Even though that does tend to convert to "over-analysis" too often ha.

@rikiteacup I feel that way about... TB sometimes re: the 20 emails upon waking up. But I heart yall so it's NOT THE SAME AT ALL haha.

@jennifer_louise That work policy sounds dumb. Boo your work. Yay for relaxing.

@begging4abump Um, same w/ dreams! Mine never make sense. I'm like "NO, the yogurt was like life-energy blood and we had to keep digging for it! Or the queen would be sick!!" and everyone is like whaaat and I'm like IT WAS MEANINGFUL.

@kbrown2385 Do ppl wish each other GL for endromitrol biopsies? If so, GL! If not, oops! Hugs either way.

Month/Cycle: 6/4/1AL

CD/DPO: 35/14

Timing: n/a

Typical LP length: 14-15?

Testing: n/a

R/R: I'm like strolling through the woods of my brain like "AF! AF! Where are you! I want to get on with my TTC life! Want some snacks? I HAVE SNACKS." Also, the online platform we use to communicate w/ students called Moodle is currently down, which is A+ annoying. / My research writing class students have been like not a great class this semester and super bored by me (I AM HIGHLY ENTERTAINING AS A TEACHER, so their boredom is oFfEnSiVe.) However, today's class went really well. I did an exercise I just made up this morning out of no where, & I'll definitely be keeping it. Yay! Progress! Maybe they won't hate me after all...

CS/Q: majestic.

kiki047 · March 2019

@holly321 Good doggy! Those little things are such huge wins sometimes, lol. Hope the rest of your day continues to go smoothly!!
@kbrown2385 GL today, I know you're looking for answers but I really hope there's no sign of endometritis and all looks good. FX!
@ejoseph16 that's interesting about your temp dropping after exercise. I didn't even think about that. Well, I hardly ever run so I'll never know

hahaha srsly tho, I need to get back into it when the weather gets nicer. MF said he'd come with me.
@begging4abump your chart is looking soo good! I hear you on the rollercoaster of emotions. I hope you get your lay down hand tomorrow and can cash in and leave this crazy game behind. Also, +1 on failing to try to accurately describe your weird dreams to your SO. I sound like a lunatic most of the time.
@kerco925 I'm so sorry for your BFN, especially today. Sending you lots of hugs to get through the rest of the day.
@rikiteacup Oh man, that would send my blood pressure up as soon as I open my email. Monday mornings are the worst for that with emails piling up over the weekend. Good luck getting through the craziness.
@whitealbum29 lots of people do OPKs only when BBT was too stressful. Some women only temp until I is confirmed then stop.

I know of at least one more person POAS today.... holding my breath for good news...

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD/DPO: 16/1

Timing: Better than expected. -3, -2, -1, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14, but last cycle was weird with 2 days of heavy spotting 15-16dpo

Testing: Undecided.

R/R: Rant: it's already after noon and I haven't done a single second of work yet today. Whoops. Also didn't get our workout in last night after we got back late from the home show.
Rave: The home show was great! Got lots of ideas for stuff to do around the house, and collected a couple business cards to get some quotes for our new garage doors (secondary rant: We need to replace our garage doors this spring).

CS/Q: Fairly certain I O'd last night, I felt that bugger pop around 11:30pm and I'm so relieved the pressure is finally gone from my ute area. Was hesitant about moving over too soon but all signs point to O.

I'm thinking I'll discard that one high temp on CD9, pretty sure it was just a hot flash from the letrozole. My temps from medicated cycles tend to start off higher than when I'm not on it.

littleredm · March 2019

@holly321 so happy that your dog slept the whole night. Ours always want to go out around 3am and I make DH take them out at night since I take care of them all day.

@kbrown2385 Keeping you in my thoughts for the biopsy today. Medical stuff like that always makes me nervous too. I hope that it's nothing and is over quickly.

@ejoseph16 Glad that the class is going well and they are cooperating with each other!

@begging4abump I've definitely been there as far as the emotional roller coaster. FX for you this cyce!.

@kerco925 I'm so sorry about the BFN. Sending you so many hugs today.

@jennifer_louise that's super frustrating about the policy change! Rant away!

@rikiteacup working with people in different time zones is tough. When I did insurance I used to work states that were behind so I always had to wait to call them at a decent hour because I started at 7am.

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD/DPO: 24 / 12 DPO

Timing: -2,0

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: I might test tomorrow but I'm going to try and wait until AF is late. Not feeling hopeful though, my boobs hurt (typical before AF) and I'm feeling crampy.

R/R: I submitted a volunteer application with my local library and they accepted it so I go in on Monday to start. Then Monday night DH and I are going to a pop up art exhibit Candytopia where the art is all made out of candy. Should be fun.

CS/Q: nope.

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@jennifer_louise i can honestly say I never want to do that again. It was terrible and I used to think I had a high pain tolerance. Results can take up to 2 weeks, so now we wait.

jennifer_louise · March 2019

@littleredm library volunteering sounds fun! What will you be doing?

@kiki047 yay for O!! (oh and btw, I've been waiting for happy news today too!). Your timing looks excellent.

@whitealbum29 to echo PPs, OPKs alone can't confirm O, unfortunately. However, a sustained and elevated BBT does indicate ovulation occurred. Some women see multiple surges on OPKs. I think it's totally fine to not use either, it's just personal preference.

@kagesstarshroom hope you can move onto your next cycle soon. Not sure why, but "Moodle" makes me giggle.

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@begging4abump ha! Lasagna still sounds so good! I may need to discuss this with MH. LOL

@jennifer_louise thank you! Yes I hit goal on December 14. TTC is killing my eating habits... but I’m still good! Lol I went from 325 to 155. Today I was 162 🤷🏼‍♀️ I figure if I get pregnant I’ll gain weight so... there’s that. Lol. Just getting myself ready I guess?

@rikiteacup I love running! My RHR went down to below 60bpm. The past 2 weeks I’ve started creeping up a bit. Not sure what that means, but hey.

@kiki047 definitely looking like you O’d. Woohoo for the TWW.

@littleredm good for you for volunteering! I can’t find the time to do that right now, but I would love to! What will you be doing?

littleredm · March 2019

@kiki047 Hey girl hey! I need to start getting quotes on fixing one of our garage doors too. Having a home is such a pain sometimes. Your timing looks excellent!

@jennifer_louise & @ejoseph16 I honestly have no idea yet. I just submitted the application and I guess Monday they'll go over what they need me to do. I'll report back once I have more information.

mrsvp614 · March 2019

@kbrown2385 Hoping for good results for you!
@begging4abump FX for BFP!
@ejoseph16 WOW! That weight loss is impressive!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: Eh

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: BFN yesterday, but I wasn't hopeful.

R/R: Just get here already AF, so we can move on!
Rave: Most of our kitchen cabinets have been put in, so I'm hoping to have a functioning kitchen some time next week. (this is after a pipe burst 6 weeks ago)

CS/Q: First temping month, but not much to see here.

Want a personalized experience?
