CD/DPO: 34/14
Timing: 🌟
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: BFN yesterday and some super-light spotting yesterday, so just WFAF. If spotting stops and she doesn't show, I will test again tomorrow just for peace of mind before I have a drink.
R/R: Yesterday was a rough day for so many reasons. Actual footage of me yesterday:
DH and I also had a huge fight last night over ttc/me calling him out over some recent crappy behavior, so we aren't speaking this morning. I know this will pass, but it's not fun being in the Emerald House at the moment. My rave is tomorrow is a casual day at work. Yay jeans.
CS/Q: Didn't bother temping this morning since I barely slept. Even if this cycle is a bust, my LP was longer than last time, so I will take it.
Edit: forgot a sentence
Your students sound like a handful! Hope you and YH can make up soon!

Month/Cycle: 0/0
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: +3
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Nope, I am expecting AF since our timing was pretty off
R/R: I chopped off about 10" from my hair yesterday. My head is so much lighter.
CS/Q: I’m pretty positive I ovulated CD18, my CM was off this month. I’ve been trying to balance my hormones for about a year. They were all low. Currently I think my estrogen/progesterone ratio is a bit off with having more estrogen.
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019@emeraldduchess sorry about the disrespectful students. Hope you have better sleep tonight!
@ruby696 yay for temp rise! Hope you enjoyed the lunch; I am super hungry now haha
@m6agua also saves time on blow drying
Month/Cycle: 13ish
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: -3/-2/-1/0
Typical LP length: shorter than 14 days
Testing: BFN this morning. I know I will keep testing until AF shows her head lol.
R/R: I just can't concentrate at work during TWW... which leads to me working late at night to catch the deadlines...
CS/Q: My temp has been between 98.1 +/- 0.1F for the past 8 days; interestingly stable...
Married 2016
TTC #1 2018-03
Dx: unexplained
@littlesheep123 sorry about the BFN.
@m6agua don't you love the new haircut feeling? I tend to grow mine long then chop off 6 or so inches. I love how it feels afterwards!
@emeraldduchess sorry YH is being difficult. Hopefully y’all can make peace soon.
@ruby696 lunch with friends sound like so much fun! Enjoy!
@m6agua yay for the haircut. I love that feeling
@littlesheep123 sorry for the BFN. Hopefully AF stays away
Month/Cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO: 32/ who knows
Timing: ED
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: BFN yesterday. Will test again Saturday if no AF by then. Mostly because I need to go buy more tests 🤦🏻♀️
R/R: Rave: I kinda assumed AF was going to start yesterday because of the BFN so I went and got my nose pierced. Now that AF hasn’t started I’m questioning my decision. But I guess there’s no going back now. Rant: MH left for his training today
CS/Q: nope
