emeraldduchess · March 2019

Good morning! I'll be handing in my report cards this afternoon like...

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

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: excellent, I guess?

Typical LP length: 11-14 days

Testing: over the weekend unless spotting starts on Saturday (9dpo)

R/R: McDonald's Fillet O'Fish commercial is the most annoying thing on the planet.

CS/Q: My bbt stayed the same this morning so I guess that's better than it going down? *shrug* I also didn't have my usual 3dpo cramping. I really, really don't want to (and can't) get my hopes up this cycle.

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess - Congrats on the report cards! Fingers crossed re: your temp...

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 30/11

Timing: not good. -5, -2, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: nope...

R/R: I did have a nice day off yesterday and have a three day week this week! Going to visit a friend in NY for a long weekend. And just finally finished a book I was working through so I get to start my new one!

CS/Q: No actual chart but I don't have high hopes for this cycle at all. Our timing was pathetic due to BF getting super sick right before ovulation. My boobs started feeling a little sore last night and I've had minor cramps in the mornings which tends to be a sign for me a few days ahead of time. At this point just hoping AF doesn't come on Thursday or Friday because if it does I'll be away on Day 3 which is when I'm supposed to get FSH and estradiol tested...

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess yes for grade cards being done! Greatest feeling ever! And yes, that commercial has never changed and gets stuck in my head EVERY YEAR! Ugh!

@whitealbum29 your trip to NY sounds great! A weekend getaway is sometimes just what you need.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 33/12 dpo

Timing: great!

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: BFN this morning, testing again Thursday or Friday.

R/R: MH and I are going to an NCAA round 1 game Friday, so today is my Wednesday. Yes!

CS/Q: no AF yet, and no signs of her either. BFN this morning, but the second line I could kind of see an outline. Retaking on Thursday or Friday since no AF and it was early today. Especially since my temp went back up today.

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess hooray for report cards being done!!

@ejoseph16 sorry for the bfn. Exciting for the game on Friday! Hope you have a great time!

@whitealbum29 have a great trip this weekend! What book did you read?

Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: nope

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: nope

R/R: really really really need to start cleaning for this weekend. My mil, silk and niece and nephew are coming and the guest room is a mess. It has a walk in closet so it’s kind of a catch all. I’ve been organizing the rest of the house and there is so much that needs to be put away there. I just need to do it at this point...but I don’t want to 😫

CS/Q: nope

_khaleesi · March 2019

@emeraldduchess yes yes yes pee party on Saturday!!! And wahoo report cards are done! Just one more time this school year?

@whitealbum29 guess this is a big weekend for getaways! Any particular plans while in NY?

@ejoseph16 sorry about the BFN. It’s still wayyy early so you’re not out yet! Yea for that temp! I’m not a basketball fan but I am a sports fan in general so I get how cool it is to go to a tourney game. Have fun!

AFM

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 AL)

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -6 to -1, so amazeballs (maybe I should trademark that?)

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Last night. BFN. I’m not kidding, either. 😂 I’ve only used FRER so I wanted to practice on these cheapies my dealer gave me. Good thing, since I messed up the first one. Lesson learned. Now I’m ready for go time. Current plan is 9dpo this Saturday.

R/R: Stupid work project that will. Not. Go. Away. No matter how many times I think it’s over. Ugh. Come on Thursday at 530, mama needs a get away!

CS/Q: Unchanged from yesterday, except I forced it to put O on cd17. And now it’s moved its own O day back to cd14. 🤷‍♀️ Anyways, this is my final chart until cd31. No more temps until then since that’s when AF is due.

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@ejoseph16 - aw sorry about the BFN but I hope you were seeing the very beginning of a line! It is early!

@kbrown2385 - I finished "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" which was okay. I was pretty ready to be done with it haha! I'm starting "The Golden State" by Lydia Kiesling. Annoying that you have so much cleaning to do! I always need something good to watch/listen to while I clean and organize or I just won't do it.

@_khaleesi - Just visiting a friend a bit north of NYC! I was going to tack on a day in the city to see friends there too but decided it would be too hectic. So will just be relaxing and enjoying my friends' big house, playing with their dog etc. .... Hahah your gateway HPTs & "dealer"! "Come on, just test, I'll give you the first one for free. Shhhhhh don't worry about what day it is, just pee on it! It's fun, everyone is doing it!" Hope the week flies by!

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@whitealbum29 it’s my own fault, I procrastinate too much lol. I do had a few podcasts to catch up, so that will help for sure!

jennifer_louise · March 2019

Super busy day so I will try to come back for tags later! Just wanting to let you all know how much I 💜 you!

AFM--12 DPO but I had a temp dip this morning so I expect AF today/tomorrow. Super frustrated with my cycle for giving me false hope with a reasonable LP but still coming up short

Edited because words.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@ejoseph16 sorry for the BFN. You're not out yet, though!
@whitealbum29 sorry it feels like AF is on the way.
@_khaleesi yes, the next time I sit down to do report cards, it will be the end of the school year!

LOL at "practicing" with the cheapie test. Is it that hard to mess up peeing on a stick? Hehe. Hope the rest of the week flies by for you!
@kbrown2385 hope you can find the motiviation to get the cleaning and organizing done! Good luck!
@jennifer_louise sorry for the temp drop. I say go treat yourself to some new yarn.

spacemountaineer · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: According to FF, slightly decent. If I go with what I thought it was then bad.

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: I don't feel great about this cycle so I'm waiting for AF unless I show so serious symptoms. Also FF is making me question this whole cycle.

R/R: I'm so sick with a bad cold.

CS/Q: has anyone seen just a tiny bit of EW CM a few days after O (CD 19 for me)? This is the second month that this happened.

I finally go my crosshairs on FF today. It is not what I thought it would be. I did have major cramping on my left side and a solid smiley face on CD 14. The dip didn't happen until CD 16, but a negative opks on CD 15 and 16 (the other dips in temps can be attributed to me accidentally turning off the thermostat when I changed the time for DST (CD 11) and breathing through my mouth due to being stuffed up (CD 19)). FF is also predicting this will be a 26 day cycle. That would be shocking if that happened!

spacemountaineer · March 2019

@emeraldduchess - You're timing is excellent indeed!

@whitealbum29 - I hope AF doesn't ruin your trip!

@ejoseph16 - Fx for you! Enjoy the game!

@kbrown2385 - GL with your cleaning!

@_khaleesi - your gateway/dealer HTP's make me smile.

@jennifer_louise - I'm so sorry. That would be frustrating!

_khaleesi · March 2019

@whitealbum29 yes that’s exactky how the convo went down! 😂

@jennifer_louise so sorry for the temp dip

@emeraldduchess apparently it’s harder than it looks! Or the first test was just bad. The pee never even made it up into the test area! Yay for one more round this school year. Have you had spring break yet?

kiki047 · March 2019

*lurking*
@spacemountaineer I can see why you'd be confused by FF's predictions. The rocky temps make it hard to identify that temp shift post-O, especially with the presence of EWCM on CD19. I've had some questionable CM at different points in my cycle but that's due to the PCOS/hormonal imbalances. Sorry if this has been suggested before but have you considered temping vaginally? nomangos used to be our resident vaginal temping advocate but she convinced me many months ago and I've never looked back.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@spacemountaineer I'm sorry you're sick. I just got over a really nasty cold myself. It sat in my chest for what felt like forever.

@_khaleesi my state likes to be different and does a week in February and a week in April. We're right in between the two right now. March is flying by though, which I am really happy about. It helps that we didn't get a ton of snowstorms this winter and what we did get melted quickly, so there aren't gigantic snowbanks everywhere.

agesandstages · March 2019

@emeraldduchess - yay for those report cards being done!

@whitealbum29 - I’ve been meaning to read my year of rest! My book club just finished, but I missed that month.

@ejoseph16 -sorry for the BFN, but there’s still time! Also, I can relate! See below!

@KBrown18 - I think everybody has a catch all closet haha! Best of luck with yours!

@_khaleesi I’m down for this Saturday party!

agesandstages · March 2019

@spacemountaineer- feel better!

As for me...
Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/?

Timing: CD13, CD14

Typical LP length: ?

Testing: another BFN today, will try again Saturday if no AF

R/R: rave - having such a productive day at work!! Rant - I just want clarity!!

CS/Q: Nope!

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@agesandstages seriously. Do we talk about how many people I showed the picture to at work today?! (I took a picture for MH since he was out cold when I took the test) clarity! I need it! I need a clear yes or no! The whole drive home I was freaking out over when to take another one. 🤦🏼‍♀️

millpe · March 2019

Hey guys! Sorry I have been so absent. I've been lurking a bunch, but haven't had much time to post with work and life being so busy.

@emeraldduchess yay for handing in report cards! Do you get a firestorm of parents comments/questions after they go out?

@whitealbum29 jealous of your 3 day week! And your weekend in NY. I hope you enjoy it!

@kbrown2385 you can't even walk in our guest room right now

it has been the catch all for storage during our basment project. I cant wait until I can start moving stuff back downstairs! Good thing all our family is in town, so no one ever stays in it.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/8

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 10-12

Testing: probably this weekend at some point if AF hasnt shown up.

R/R: Just busy, busy, busy. We had a sickness go through our house last week so I ended up being home 2 days, which just makes this week busier. Combined with a training day last week and an all employee meeting today which took up my whole day. I just feel very behind! I've also been taking over some new programs and spring is the busy time so I feel a little bit like I'm in over my head... at least I have many months before my next year end review! I'm also a little stressed on our finances. We are working on finishing our basement, and havent had to take a loan, which is good, but our savings is getting lower than I'm comfortable with. We are horrible at budgeting too... we get our bonus in a couple weeks and I'm hoping it's a decent one so we can finish the last of the projects and replenish our account. It would also be great if we had a little fun money left over!

In TTGP news, I havent been obsessing over symptoms, so that's a positive?

CS/Q: nope

_khaleesi · March 2019

@millpe you should join our Saturday pee party!!! “You’re not cool, unless you pee your pants!” Errrr uh, stick.

@emeraldduchess that IS weird about your spring break. But at least you’ve got something to look forward to before one last round of cards.

Alright ladies, I’m sharing something I found last night. This is a calculator that shows you average hcg levels by day based on days since implantation. How accurate it is, no idea. But I think it helps drive home the point that even @ejoseph16 12dpo is super early so don’t lose hope til the witch shows! And that it really is mind boggling how some women get a BFP at 9dpo. “So you’re saying there’s a chance?” Ima take that chance!

And heres a screenshot if you don’t want to actually enter stuff into the calculator.

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@millpe not obsessing is great! I was good about it until I had a temp drop with light spotting. Then I lost my ever loving mind. Lol. Keep that clear mind!

@_khaleesi that is super helpful! I am overly anxious to test again. Trying to hold off until Friday. I’m not promising anything. However, if it’s still not conclusive, I’m joining the Saturday pee party! 🤣

millpe · March 2019

@_khaleesi I will join that Saturday pee party!

@ejoseph16 once I start testing I dont stop until AF comes.

spacemountaineer · March 2019

@kiki047 - Thanks! Vaginal temping is on my list of things to try. This is only my second month of temping. My plan for this month was to try adjusted temps. I thought my temps were rocky due to having to get up less than 3 hours before my usual wake up time. Looks like there's more to it as I have been fairly consistent this month (except for early on in my cycle).

kiki047 · March 2019

@spacemountaineer good luck! Feel free to post any chart specific questions in the CS/Q thread. Our resident chart expert is marebear.

@ejoseph16 sorry for the BFN. Just a word of advice, you may want to be more mindful of how/when you mention squinters around here. I realize it’s exciting to think you might’ve seen a shadow of a line but some of us have been around for 12+ months and have never seen anything remotely close to a positive test. You haven’t violated any rules or anything but please keep in mind that it could be potentially triggering to some, and just be sensitive about that. Wishing you luck when you do decide to test again.

May have to join the pee party on Saturday too if I make it that far.
