Re: TWW weekend 3/16-3/17
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: unsure
Typical LP length: 14-15 days
Testing: not sure
R/R: I had night sweats last Igor, which generally means AF is coming in a day or two. I could see O being cd 13/14 too, so maybe? Now I see why opks are useful. Still not sure I will buy some. Generally, we have arc regularly enough I don’t have to worry about if my O day is off, but we were sick, so who knows. I wasn’t invested too much into his cycle anyway, since I was going to see my obgyn yesterday to start testing and such, but that’s delayed 2 weeks.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 30/9dpo
Timing: -5, -4, -2, 0 (not sure we could have done much better!)
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: starting to get antsy looking at my chart. Trying to hold off to see if AF comes, but who knows?!
R/R: thank goodness for the weekend! Watching some college basketball today in preparation for filling out my bracket tomorrow! The university MH works for is in the finals in their conference tourney today, we really wanted to buy tickets and go to the game but we already have plans. We had season tickets for their regular season, and they have been so much fun to watch! I guess we will stick to watching them on tv today! I have some papers to grade, but let’s be honest... that won’t happen.
CS/Q: still looking good! FX that this continues! My hopes are high all of a sudden!
@ejoseph16 your chart is so pretty! Enjoy all the basketball today.
@holly321 if you decide to buy OPKs for your next cycle, I recommend the Pregmate brand. They're pretty inexpensive on Amazon.
Month/Cycle: 8/7 (second cycle AL)
CD/DPO: 22/2
Timing: Excellent, I think?
Typical LP length: Last time it was 11, so I guess 11-14 days
Testing: I honestly don't know of I want to test from 10DPO on, or just WFAF. I am not hopeful at all about this cycle since I seem to be O'ing later and my LP was shorter last cycle. I am going to make an appointment with a specialist if this cycle is a bust, with or without DH's support.
R/R: Working on report cards all weekend, but at least I can do so wearing yoga pants and have Netflix on in the background. And...4 days until SPRING!!🌼🌷🌹🌸
CS/Q: I discarded the two temps from when I was sick. I had a big temp spike this morning so I am going to say that O was Thursday.
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: BFN
R/R: FF told me my chart was triphasic yesterday, which was the first time I got this message. So naturally, I stayed up for an extra hour last night analyzing triphasic charts, just to get another BFN this morning. AF should be here tomorrow or Monday, so I am fairly confident I am out again this cycle. I need to decide if I want to contact an RE this cycle or give myself one more.
CS/Q:
@ejoseph16 you’re chart looks great! Have fun watching the game and avoiding the grading lol.
@holly321 sorry everything was so unclear this cycle
Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL
CD/DPO: 27/9
Timing: nope
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: nope
R/R: nothing on the schedule this weekend so I’ll be able to catch up on housework and dh can work on my car. Thankfully it will be nice out so he won’t be too miserable lol. I should probably go grocery shopping too 🤔.
CS/Q: nope
CD/DPO: 27/8
Timing: -5, -2, +1
Typical LP length: 13-14 days
Testing: nope
CD/DPO: 33/11 eta cd
Timing: pointless
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: BFN
R/R: Bawled my eyes out so much in the last 12 hours or so that I think I’m dehydrated. I look super hungover, which works out since we were at a wedding last night. Too bad I didn’t drink though. I guess I should have. During the switch between cocktail hour and dinner, my bathroom break shattered my hopes. And then the cramps set in. I returned from the bathroom to a reception table with my brothers and cousins surrounding mh, so I had to put on a brave face. It was at a restaurant, so the space was crammed and there was no where to escape to. So, of course, I bawled in the carride home. Then brave face when we got home bc my ILs are staying over this weekend. Then BAWLED at 5 am after taking a final hpt since mh is forever the optimist and I just need him on the same page. After crying downstairs in the dark, by myself, I returned to my bed to softly cry. Mh has a crazy sense for when I soft-cry, so he woke up instantly to comfort me. Sigh. Just playing off the day like I’m hungover today. Not feeling great about myself and all my self pity.
CS/Q: stupid chart looked good until today’s temp drop
@holly321 I hear you on the opk. I like the cross check, so it’s worth it for me.
@ejoseph16 looking good
@emeraldduchess I hope dh can support you to make this hell just a little easier. Yay for yoga pants and impending spring!!
@kerco925 ff is more like fertility frenemy rather than friend.
@kbrown2385 I hope hubby fixes the car quickly so that you can relax together.
@whitealbum29 what a pain! Sorry for the dr frustrations.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: BFN this morning and will retest every 12 hours
R/R: Even though it is only my first month I feel like I have all of the symptoms, which is confounding. Back cramps, fatigue, sore nips. DH is being so supportive though and helpful which is nice. He wasn't so much the first time arou?nd, so he must be learning

@whitealbum29 (reply to yesterday & today's post/s) I too dream of going to a midwife or something like that--esp bc I feel like an obgyn just sort of assumes you'll stick with them bc it's what most ppl do? like, I guess I wish I knew more about other options? And yes for advocating for yrself now that they are royally messing up! I would be like, "yeah, so, I am not paying for this?"
@kerco925 & @begging4abump Sorry for the bfns. lots of hugs to you both
@ejoseph16 I am PUMPED for the madness to begin! looking forward to filling in my bracket, too! it's been sports radio all week in my car rides.
@emeraldduchess hiii friend! Missed you. I get what you say about consulting with somebody whether YH wants to or not. Thankfully, MH seems willing although I guess we'll see soon if he actually is!
@begging4abump girl, I am so sorry. ♥️ I wish you didn't have to spend the wedding weekend crying. Major hugs.
@ejoseph16 stay strong O buddy!!
@whitealbum29 I think the same thing about teaching too! If I ever have a midlife crisis, I could see myself becoming a teacher. Hopefully I would have the patience!
@bobbyflies2020 sorry for all your symptoms, maybe you'll be the magical snowflake who gets KU on the first try!
Month/cycle: 9/10
CD/DPO: 22/9dpo
Timing: yep
Testing: nope
Typical LP length: 9-12
R/R: Started off today with a massage which was amazing. Then afterward I was feeling sorry for myself, and I was feeling sad for my friend and cycle buddy @begging4abump, and for everybody else who got a BFN this week, and for everybody who has gotten a BFN ever, and I bought some overpriced workout clothes to soothe myself. It only worked a little. 😉 Perhaps that means I need to buy more.
CS/Q: nope.
@jennifer_louise I did not mean to bring you down too! I genuinely hope you break this bad news streak.
@bobbyflies2020 I left out my RE paperwork that had infertility plastered all over the header when my mom visited last week (hopefully her bad eyesight saved me), so I hear you. I’m pretty sure I’ve had our prenatal vitamins in clear view before too.
@ejoseph16 Close friends know that I’m having trouble trying, but they can’t relate, so I don’t love venting about this to them.
@bobbyflies2020 welcome!
@whitealbum29 most days I love teaching, but sometimes I wonder what the heck I was thinking. Like when I have a gigantic pile of projects to grade or dealing with student drama.
@jennifer_louise hey girllll! I missed you too! When you left WTO for TWW I was all, "Wait! Don't go! We're supposed to be cycle buddies!" Yay for new workout clothes! I never feel guilty about buying more since I know I'll get a lot of use out of them. Currently sitting here in yoga pants and a workout top. Did I go to the gym today? No. No, I did not. Any new knitting projects?
@kbrown2385 you're brave going to the grocery store on a Saturday. I avoid food shopping on weekends if I can. Enjoy having a free weekend!
@begging4abump Oh no! I am guessing your mom found out?? My MIL basically found my prenatals and husband gave her a vague explanation.
I saw a bit of blood when I wiped just now, so I am probably out!

CD/DPO: 26/?? (I'm not sure when I ovulated, my cycle is still normalizing since I stopped BC.)
Timing: CD 13, CD 14
Typical LP length: ?? (see above), but if this cycle mirros last cycle, AF is due today.
Testing: Tomorrow. I also already tested Tuesday and Thursday, just because I couldn't wait.
R/R: This is both a rant and a rave. I am feeling crampy and some coldlike symptoms, which is slightly exciting (are these pregnancy symptoms??) and slightly stressful / confusing (are these period symptoms? am i getting a cold?)? I feel silly to worry, because either way, I'll know pretty soon. But I'm still worried.
CS/Q: What are some differentiators between period cramps and early pregnancy cramps?
@begging4abump - you are so strong! what a weekend!
@bobbyflies2020 ehh, who knows? We rejected tagging along on vacations last year and this year due to Zika destinations being chosen, so she must know we’re interested in having some babies. Ugh, so sorry about your update. If you’re right, we can head into wto together.
@agesandstages I totally hear you on the anxiety and need to know. I don’t think there’s really a way to know the difference in what cramping means. My best guess is that not feeling any symptoms might be the most promising, but everyone is different, and you have the same symptoms until you don’t, so it’s a mystery until a + or af. Good luck! 🍀

@begging4abump hope you were able to let loose last night and had a good time at the wedding! TTC is stressful and emotional no matter where you are or what has happened. Your feelings are valid.
@jennifer_louise hey o date buddy! Hope you are feeling better over the weekend! Retail therapy never hurt haha.
@agesandstages Good luck testing today!
@bobbyflies2020 just a heads up in spoiler tw*
@emeraldduchess how does your timing always look soo good! Fx for you friend. And as for knitting, I have lots of yarn left over from quilt so I was thinking of making some potholders? Have you ever done any?
@ejoseph16 hope the spotting doesn't mean what you think it does!!
@kbrown2385 at what point does retail therapy become a problem? Asking for a friend....
@begging4abump don't worry about venting earlier. That's why we're here--let it out!!
