Good morning, ladies! Happy Friday!

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

CD/DPO: 28/8

Timing: 🌟

Typical LP length: 11-14 days

Testing: I thought about tomorrow but not I am leaning towards just waiting until AF is late.

R/R: I went to bed early (for me) last night and I am still tired.

I'm going to see a friend in a community theater production tonight and I hope I can stay awake! Should be fun, though.

CS/Q: Up down up down. I feel zero symptoms of anything, AF or otherwise.

whitealbum29 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 33/14

Timing: not great

Typical LP length: 13-14 days

Testing: nope

R/R: Just happy it's Friday!! Hope the Saturday pee party is still scheduled for some people and that it goes well!

CS/Q: Should maybe ask this on the treatment/testing thread also -- ugh if AF comes today I'm going to need a contingency plan for getting my Day 3 FSH/estradiol because I'll be away on Day 3 (Sunday)! My doctor's office said if I could find a doctor/lab where I'll be that would be ideal so I can get it on the day...but was just reading that it can be done on Day 4 too and give similar results/info. Does anyone know about getting Day 3 tests a day late?

@emeraldduchess - Have fun at the theater!

MrsJessS · March 2019

@emeraldduchess happy Friday!

@whitealbum29 I’m no help...but I hope you find an easy solution!

Month/Cycle: 8/6

CD/DPO: 26/12ish

Timing: ED so good

Typical LP length: 14 ish days

Testing: BFN yesterday which was no surprise but I just had to try. Not again unless AF is late

R/R: I only have one day of work left. Hallelujah.

CS/Q: nope

_khaleesi · March 2019

@emeraldduchess here here to Friday! Enjoy the production, how fun! And GL staying awake.

@whitealbum29 I’m also no help with your question but I’m sure someone on this awesome board will know. GL getting that all figured out, though of course I hope it’s not even needed!

@MrsJessS yessss FriYAY! Hope your workday flies by. Sending vibes to keep that witch away.

_khaleesi · March 2019

Well, I’ve been pretty MIA the last couple days. Lots of trip prep.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 AL)

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: 🏆

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Saturday Saturday Saturday - we’ve got quite the list I think. Who else is for sure in?

Rave: En route to leave on a jet plane! Breckenridge or bust. HPTs are secure and in carryon, too precious for checked baggage. 😀

CS/Q: Nope, nothing new. Well, I did add cramping to my chart the last two days. It comes and goes all day. And that’s not normal until AF, at which point it’s constant.🤞 And so far nothing today.

b_1029 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess FX for you!! I hope you have fun tonight!

@whitealbum29 sorry, I have no idea on your question. Agreed - TGIF!

@MrsJessS I'm sorry for the BFN! Hopefully it's just too early.

@_khaleesi have a safe flight! Breckenridge is beautiful, I hope you guys have a decent amount of snow! FX the cramping is a good sign.

Month/Cycle: 17/18

CD/DPO: 16/3ish

Timing: great

Typical LP length: 14-15

Testing: WFAF - 4/3

R/R: I'm a little crampy today which got me excited, and then I realized I'm only 3DPO and feel stupid. Hopefully it's the good ol fallops just pumping down that fertilized egg ASAP. I know I've eaten 10 Reese's eggs in the last 2 days, but I am READY FOR YOU

In other news, it's Friday and I'm looking forward to doing nothing all weekend after a long week of being sick.

CS/Q: nope

kiki047 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess Ooh hope you have fun at the theatre tonight, I love stuff like that. Hope you can get some rest this weekend too. We'll see if I also bail on tomorrow's pee party.
@whitealbum29 Day 4 should be fine, I've had mine drawn on day 4 before because my clinic is closed on Sundays and it wasn't a huge deal.
@MrsJessS Sorry for the BFN. Happy Fri-yay!
@_khaleesi I'm fickle when it comes to testing, if I can manage not to test with FMU then I'm usually good for another day but sometimes I break down at test at night, then convince myself that it's only BFN because it's not FMU, and so the BSC loop begins... Hope you have an amazing trip, and GL testing!!!!
@B_1029 Ditto! Except replace Reese's with Oreos. I've started hiding them in my car so MF won't see how many I have (and also how many are missing from the package).

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: Great

Typical LP length: 13-15

Testing: Potentially tomorrow, we'll see how I feel in the morning. My temps are on a steady decline which is unusual for CD9.

R/R: See above for my rant about my temps. Rave: It's Friday, my aunt is doing her homemade chicken wings for family dinner tonight and I made two super yummy salads to take (a greek pasta salad and a chopped salad with an avocado buttermilk ranch dressing that is so ridiculously good I could drink it). Lots of fun plans this weekend, part of me doesn't want to ruin it by starting it off with a BFN. We'll see how my temp is in the morning.

CS/Q: My heart is plummeting along with my temps. They usually keep rising until around CD12, granted they've all been BFN charts soooo... I don't even know where I'm going with this. Either way, I'm bummed because I don't think it can mean anything good.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 32/?

Timing: CD13/14

Typical LP length: ?

Testing: that’s my question!

R/R: rave - hooray! It’s friday! And I took a really fun dance class last night!

CS/Q: Two Questions Today
1 - For all of the ladies testing tomorrow, where can I look to know about and celebrate your positives?! Would that be here or in the grad board?

2 - If I got KU this month, I think it would be from BD on CD14 (holy acronyms)! From what I understand, ovulation could only happen as late as CD19 for this BD to lead to pregnancy. Doss that make sense? If so, should testing today be effective if it’s a positive?

Thanks for indulging my questions!

agesandstages · March 2019

@emeraldduchess - enjoy the show! that's awesome to support your friend!

@whitealbum29 - I also don't know the answer unfortunately, but hope you find a good solution!

@MrsJessS - I definitely know that feeling when you just have to test, no matter how likely or unlikely it is!

@_khaleesi - Woo hoo jet plane! Have a great trip!

@b_1029 - Reese's eggs are SO good - very jealous!

@kiki047 - 1. Your family dinner sounds DELICIOUS. And I'm still crossing my fingers for you even with the temp dip!

kiki047 · March 2019

@agesandstages great questions. I think @emeraldduchess, @b_1029 and I are the only ones currently in the TWW who have been around TTGP long enough to post in the grad thread. We ask that everyone else move along to their BMBs, or in some cases, to the BMB waiting room on the 1st trimester board. We don’t post directly in the TWW thread out of respect to others.

As for your timing and testing, in theory if you O’d this cycle but only HIO on CD13/14, then yes the longest sperm could live is around 5 days, so even assuming O on CD19, that would make you about 13dpo and you should be able to turn a test by now. GL!

agesandstages · March 2019

@kiki047 - thanks for the great explanations! I really appreciate it!

b_1029 · March 2019

@kiki047 @emeraldduchess us old farts

_khaleesi · March 2019

@b_1029 lol at fallops. We’re not quite in Breck yet but there’s plennnty of snow already and it’s currently snowing, wahoo! Enjoy your weekend of nothingness, those are great!

@kiki0417 I totally get the trying to avoid the BSC! I don’t want to enable you, but I’m enabling you. 😂 I would not be testing at all until day AF is due and only if temp was still high except I ordered OPKs for next cycle and they came with a ton of HPTs. I brought enough for two a day testing the whole trip. Because that’s not BSC right? Sounds like you have a great weekend to look forward to. I hope it’s everythinf you want, need, and imagine! What are you most looking forward to?

@agesandstages , @kiki0417 has solid advice all around!

Also I’ll put this out there. If anyone gets good news and can’t post in the grad thread, I’d love to get a message in my inbox to let me know! I don’t visit any of the other boards. I barely have enough time to keep up with this one!

dieforelle · March 2019

Gaaah I'm new here right now. When we started trying I swore I wouldn't end up obsessing on chat boards but I'm going a little bonkers so here I am.

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 24/Aprox 5

Timing: Fantastic

Typical LP length: 2 weeks

Testing: I probably won't until after AF is due.

R/R: I feel really exhausted and emotional, I think it's just typical of me at this time in my cycle though.

CS/Q: Nothing to ask, just thanks for letting me yell into the void here I appreciate it!

Sorry about my signature I'll edit it, it's been a long time since I used this account!

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@_khaleesi have a fantastic time at Breckinridge!
@whitealbum29 Happy Friday to you, too! Enjoy your weekend away.
@b_1029 LOL at your gif. I hope we can get outta here soon! 💚 And your description of your "good ol' fallops" squeezing the egg down to your ute will forever be my explanation for 3DPO cramping!
@kiki047 that avocado buttermilk dressing sounds heavenly and I am drooling on my phone here just thinking about it!
@MrsJessS sorry about the BFN.

I hope your last day at work goes smoothly!
@agesandstages yay for dance class? What kind of dance did you take? I've been looking for adult ballet classes in my area but no luck.

agesandstages · March 2019

@dieforelle - welcome! I understand the need to yell into the Void! Thankful that this community is so supportive!

@emeraldduchess - it was a J.Lo themed hip hop! So fun!

littlesheep123 · March 2019

Friday afternoon slacking lol...

emeraldduchess Have fun tonight! I have been feeling tired over the weekdays and super energetic on weekends

whitealbum29 I did mine on Day 2 because I needed to travel. I think day 2 to 4 should be fine!

_khaleesi I also have cramping today which never happened to me so early... but I have had a really weird cycle with spotting until CD13 or CD14. FX cramping means good things!

@b_1029 the GIF cracked me up

Month/Cycle: 13 ish

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: pretty good

Typical LP length: on the shorter side

Testing: Supposed to be 3/29

R/R: TGIF!!!!!! I am so hungry now. I want to have Korean BBQ tonight. Craving for meat....

CS/Q: temp increasing very slowly

Eta: Also wanted to say that my life has become so much easier after I no longer work with a super annoying male coworker in a different office. The project that he tech lead never gets to the finish line; I was able to close so many more tickets now!!
