_khaleesi · March 2019

I officially go here now. 🙂

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 AL)

CD/DPO: 21/4-6

Timing: Good to amazeballs, though that CD 16 BD is a bit deceiving. It was at midnight so only technically CD16 but well beyond 24 hrs out from a CD 17 o.

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Well, I’m a “when AF is late” kinda gal but I bought some OPKs for next cycle and they came with quite a few HPTs so I’ll definitely be testing early at 9dpo. I feel like I’ve been given gateway HPTs, you know that free hit from the dealer, and this is how an addiction gets started. And also, I have to decide which 9dpo do I use? 🤔

R/R: Monday! How I loathe thee! But FriYAY cannot get here soon enough. We are headed out for a few nights in Breckenridge for my bday! We are beach goers, not snow bunnies, and it’s our first time. Which meant lots of shopping over the weekend. 🙂

CS/Q: I’m in a bit of a disagreement with my chart. First of all cd15 doesn’t even make sense with my temps. But that’s where it seems to be stuck after first crosshairing cd14, which I know also isn’t right because cd15 temp came from a restless night of sleep and is a normal pre o temp when that happens. Plus that’s the first day gobs and gobs of ewcm showed up. So I tried finagling my temps and excluding cd15 altogether and now it’s stuck on cd15. Now, the 97.5 temps did surprise me because I slept just fine and those are not normal pre or post o temps for me. And on Cd 15 and 16 I swore I had o pains. However *TW* this is first cycle AL so things could definitely be a bit weird. *end TW* But overall I’m of the opinion I truly o’d CD17, which also aligns with CF, CP, and when I normally o in about 50% of my cycles. So that means Saturday testing. Which is my bday. I’m taking enough HPTs for twice a day testing! And I’m officially done temping for a week.

Good morning! This is how I feel after grading papers and working on report cards all weekend:

Month/Cycle: 8/7 (second cycle AL)

CD/DPO: 24/4

Timing: excellent, I think?

Typical LP length: 11-14 days

Testing: ehhhh...I think I'll hold off until 10dpo unless I start spotting at 9dpo like last cycle. Then I won't bother.

R/R: I just have to finish up some essays and do comments on my report cards, then I am done! It's so hard to tactfully phrase some of the things I have to say in the comment section.

CS/Q: Bracing myself for the 6dpo bloat later this week.
Edit: punctuation

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@_khaleesi LOL at "gateway HPTs" 🤣 I definitely feel less wasteful testing with those first.

jennifer_louise · March 2019

@_khaleesi I must admit I have never before seen amazeballs used to describe timing on here yet - good work! FWIW I think CD17 seems right for your O, too.

@emeraldduchess oh man, I can't imagine how hard it is to say what you want to say what you want to say on report cards. GL with that friend, sounds like you're so close!

Month/cycle: 9/10

CD/DPO: 24/11DPO

Timing: decent

Typical LP length: 9-12

Testing: nope

R/R: I had an awesome weekend full of everything you could ask for: a massage, yoga, the splash pool, bagels, and sunshine. That is going to make it so much more difficult to face Monday!!

CS/Q: no temp drop yet which is basically a miracle.

_khaleesi · March 2019

Omg @emeraldduchess so excited to see you got clear answers on your chart and that we are o twins! I’m totally going to enable you and say we should both test Saturday. 😀

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@_khaleesi yay TWW! Welcome to the chaos!

@emeraldduchess between writing up lesson plans and grading papers, I feel you!

@Jennifer_louise hooray for no temp drop! Your weekend sounds amazing! Happy Monday!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 32/11dpo

Timing: great!

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: possibly tomorrow. We will see starting to get antsy!

R/R: had a rough weekend... I wound up with a terrible cold all weekend. I discarded my temps yesterday even though they looked good. Wound up not doing anything yesterday besides running a fever. Took ibuprofen, saw some spotting, googled of course, and stopped taking ibuprofen. Now the spotting has stopped. My chart still looks pretty good, supplying my hope even though I think this last drop is AF related.

CS/Q:

holly321 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 26/3 A/L.

CD/DPO: so. I think ff was wrong all around I say 29/16 and AF is coming today

Timing: don’t know

Typical LP length: 15 days

Testing: no point

R/R: woke to go a temp drop cramps and a migraine. So currently being late for working in the Starbucks drive through kind of day. ( bods is our, I am being a bad employee) At least it is only a 3 day work week.

CS/Q: no point

@jennifer_louise good weekends do make for hard mondays!
@ejoseph16 hope you feel better.

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@_khaleesi - Fingers crossed you get good news over your getaway/bday weekend! It does seem like it was 17 for you. Annoying how you can be so mindful and temp every morning and still be left wondering what is up with your chart!!

@jennifer_louise - That does sound like a lovely weekend! Hopefully your temp keeps doing what it's supposed to do!

@holly321 - Ugh so sorry about the temp drop.

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -5, -2, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: nope

R/R: It's my day off after a 7-day workweek! Doing nothing but reading and yoga (well and cleaning while watching something good on TV) all day.

CS/Q: nope

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@holly321 enjoy your Starbucks, you deserve it.

@ejoseph16 sorry you’re sick. Hopefully you start feeling better soon! Exciting af hasn’t shown yet. Keeping my fx for you!

@jennifer_louise glad you had such a nice weekend! Yay for no temp drop!

@emeraldduchess at least you can say all that grading is done though! Here’s to an easy finish so you can relax a little.

@_khaleesi here’s hoping this week flies by for you!

Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: nope

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: nope

R/R: We had such a productive weekend. It was really nice having dh home both Saturday and Sunday. They are few and far between. Dh fixed my car and it’s working like a charm, thank goodness. I was able to really start cleaning the house for mil’s impending visit this coming weekend. I’m sure it will be fine but I’d just rather not have houseguests lol. I joined ww to start focusing on losing this weight and even though it was a little chilly yesterday, we headed to the park close by and did a 3 mile hike through the wetlands. I definitely didn’t go grocery shopping, so today it is lol.

CS/Q: nope

kiki047 · March 2019

Morning ladies!! My admin called in sick (after not even showing up on Friday) so I'll need to come back later for tags.

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: Great

Typical LP length: managed to get it up to 13-15

Testing: We'll see how I'm feeling later this week

R/R: Rant: short staffed today, of course it's the busiest day of the week. Just need to make it to the end of the day in one piece.
Rave: We had our engagement party on the weekend and it was so much fun! I think we seriously overdid it though, with the early mornings and too much running around and definitely not enough water (lots of wine though), I'm exhausted and so dehydrated.

*TW* death & mental illness mentioned

I went to a funeral for an old friend's husband yesterday and it was so, so sad. Maybe one of the saddest I've been to because he was only 34 and had 3 young kids and there is just such a different vibe when it is a mental illness and isn't a senior who has lived a long life, or someone who had a terminal disease, or even someone who died in an accident. We bawled at the funeral, then when I went to bed last night it was all playing on a loop in my head and I think I cried for another hour in the dark. I'm not close to that friend anymore but I was the MOH in their wedding almost 10 years ago and I just can't believe this is happening.

CS/Q: Slow, steady rise. My CL is unusually high this month because my temps started out really high. Is that weird?

kiki047 · March 2019

Ok, I'm finally back. Is anyone still around? Quiet around here today.

@_khaleesi I'd be inclined to agree with CD17 as well. Also dying @ gateway HPTs. You're so right, lol. Also, amazeballs, how appropriate hahaha.
@emeraldduchess congrats on almost being done with your report cards. I am enjoying your newfound love of gifs. Also, I'm giving you an A++ for timing this cycle.
@jennifer_louise your weekend sounds heavenly!!
@ejoseph16 hope that spotting stays away! Sorry about that temp drop. FX it goes back up tomorrow.
@whitealbum29 hope you enjoyed your day off!
@kbrown2385 yay, glad YH was able to fix your car! That's great about joining WW and going on that hike. So inspiring. I have all these aspirations to be more active and it never happens.

ejoseph16 · March 2019

Update: definitely testing tomorrow! Still no pms symptoms, spotting completely disappeared all day, and I’m getting antsy.

@holly321 sorry about the temp drop.

you drink that Starbucks and don’t feel bad about it!

@kbrown2385 I know how you feel about houseguests... understandable! I have a love/hate relationship with even having people over for dinner. Lol

@kiki047 that slow steady rise looks good so far! Your engagement party sounds like a blast! The spotting going away has made my decision to test tomorrow. I think the ibuprofen influenced me a bit. Who knows? Either way, nervous and anxious about testing.

agesandstages · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 28/? (normalizing after BC)

Timing: CD13, CD14

Typical LP length: ? (see above)

Testing: Wednesday; I tested on CD22, CD 24, CD26, and CD27 - all negative! However, last month, I had a 25 day cycle and I'm still WFAF.

R/R: Rave - had great Thai food for lunch; Rant - so confused about what's going on with my cycle!

CS/Q: I'm wondering if it's still even possible for me to be pregnant given all the negative results!

@_khaleesi That gateway drug comment is TOO REAL lol!

@emeraldduchess Amazing that you know your cycle well enough to predict things like when the bloat is coming! I'm also surprised by everything at this stagef.

@jennifer_louise Wow - your weekend sounds AWESOME!

@ejoseph16 - hope you feel better!

@holly321 - migraines are the WORST, hope you feel better too!

@whitealbum29 - reading and yoga sound amazing!

@kbrown2385 - good luck with that MIL visit! those can be stressful!

@kiki047 - congrats on your engagement!

_khaleesi · March 2019

@jennifer_louise what can I say, I aim to please 😂 So jealous of your awesome weekend! Fx that temp stays high.

@ejoseph16 omg omg omg I didn’t want to say anything yesterday but I totally thought ooooh that spotting seems like maybe a good sign. Test! Test! Test!

@holly321 so sorry for the rough start to your day and week. I hope it got at least a little better!

@whitealbum29 you are a better woman than me! I would so not clean if I had just worked a 7 day week.

@kiki047 sounds like the engagement party was a blast! How awesome! When’s the big day?

@agesandstages aww you and your body will get the hang of things! Just need some time. I remember seeing my first temp shift. I was in awe. Holy crap it worked! 😂 10 years later I am crazy in tune with my body.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@_khaleesi pee party on Saturday! LoL
@agesandstages once you start charting it's amazing how quickly you learn about your body. Like "3dpo cramping, 6dpo bloat and GIMME ALL THE SUGAR!" That's me, anyway.
@jennifer_louise hope your temp stays high! I finally got my comments done. It's so hard because report cards are a legal document and you have to be really careful about what you say.
@kiki047 I am so, so sorry for your loss. Sometimes life is so unfair and makes absolutely no sense. 💚
@kbrown2385 I hope your MIL's visit is a nice one! How long is she staying with you?
@whitealbum29 I hope you enjoyed your day off!
@ejoseph16 good luck testing tomorrow!
@holly321 sorry your day started so badly. I hope that Starbucks was good!

kiki047 · March 2019

@ejoseph16 Ooohhh good luck tomorrow POAS!
@agesandstages Thanks! And welcome. I was totally bewildered by my cycle when I first came off BCP too. I gradually learned a little more each cycle thanks to the lovely ladies on here. The best advice I got though was to track BBT. Nothing gave me more insights into my cycle than BBT, and having a good tracking app (we recommend Fertility Friend, it’s free in the App Store).
@_khaleesi The party was such a blast. Wedding date is in 110 days, July 6th!
@emeraldduchess Just so devastating. I don’t even know what to say to her, I’m at such a loss for words. Ugh.

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@ejoseph16 eeeeks fingers crossed for you today!
