Timing: -1,1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: the 16th at the earliest

R/R: This weekend went by so fast. I guess that means we had a good time. I spent way too much money at Costco yesterday, but I’m excited for the lavender plant I picked up lol. I think spring is here to stay, it’s going to be mid 70s today and i hope we can spend most of it outside.

CS/Q: o day changed again so our timing got better

@kbrown2385 We ALWAYS spend too much at Costco!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: -2

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Waiting for AF

R/R: We had an awesome weekend, but we were so busy, I didn't get to bump. The weather was awesome, so we went to the zoo Saturday with friends. The rest of our time was spent getting our house back in order after renovations, and it's so nice to have things back in their place!

CS/Q: Posting in spoiler

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@kbrown2385 we're supposed to be about 70 as well! Bring on the warmth!

@MrsVP614 glad you had a good weekend!

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: decent

Typical LP length: apparently the few months before my IUIs I have had 13-15 day LPs so....

Testing: an expired internet cheapie was BFN yesterday..... So....

R/R: good weekend with my brother around. I can never think of more rants or raves when I post so early in the morning...

ETA: see I just remembered a rant - my cat slept on my legs last night so I woke up at like 3AM sweating to death. Sweating while sleeping in the worst!

CS/Q: I hate my chart. Stupid dip confusing me!

Month/Cycle: 5AL

CD/DPO: 20/6 according to FF

Timing: "good"

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: Probably 9dpo

R/R: This cycle is nothing like any other cycle so far. It looks like I had a slow rise at first and now my temps are unusually high.

CS/Q: Such a wonky cycle that has me doubting all the things.

sevenn · April 2019

I haven't been the best (well, good at all) with posting this cycle. Hope you don't mind me chiming in.

@kbrown2385 - lavender sounds divine. enjoy!
@inthewoods23 - sorry for the BFN
@kerco925 - whoop! can't ignore that temp rise.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: -2, O

Typical LP length: 14d

R/R: this weekend went by way too quickly. some big things hopefully happening this week with our home addition, but i should know better than to get too excited or hopeful

CS/Q: wonky chart this cycle with lots of open circles, but temps staying as predicted.

NYTino24 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: bad

Typical LP length: In the past, 12-13. Lately, 8 or 10... but looks like I’m getting back to normal!

Testing: BFN

R/R: Found some bunny babies in our planter box. They were afraid of the leaf blower and all snuggled up, so I just put their covering back on. Here’s a pic of a video. I got a splinter while pulling stuff out of the planter box, so I didn’t get any better pics.

lcking82 · April 2019

@NYTino24: so cute! Sorry for the BFN but the LP lengthening is good news.

@sevenn: I think all of us need to take some breaks from TB now and then. chime in whenever!

@kerco925: I feel like mine was also a slower rise followed by a jump this time too. Weird.

@inthewoods23: sorry about the BFN

@MrsVP614: sounds like a great weekend!!

@kbrown2385: Costco always takes too much of my money!

madcouplewithabox · April 2019

@kbrown2385 hello DPO buddy! Thinking spring is here as well. We had huge thunderstorms here last night!

@kerco925 that’s such a dramatic temp change! Makes for a really pretty chart though!

@inthewoods23 sorry for the BFN. I hear ya on the pet thing. My two cats sleep at my feet sometimes and I wake up burning up. Its not so bad in the winter, but when outside temps start rising it makes for horrible sleep!

@sevenn hello! FX everything goes well with the house:)

Month/cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: Good

Typical LP:14-16

Testing: Next mon or Tuesday

R/R: Got a pic with Jason Momoa yesterday at Wizard World😍 He’s sooooooo tall!!!

*edit.words are hard*

lcking82 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 11/8

CD/DPO: 11/25

Timing: ok

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: thought about it this morning but actually didn’t have any tests in the house. Maybe tomorrow? I’m out of town for work wed-fri, with AF due Friday. I’m quite torn on when to test.

R/R: camping was wonderful! We only stayed one night, but got in an entire day of outdoor fun inn saturday before storms rolled in on Sat night. Glad we bailed though, b/c weather got pretty nasty!

CS/Q: stopped temping so nothing to see here now.

flowntheloop · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/11?

Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0 (x2), 2, 3 {Probably not spot on as I don't do any ovulation testing and I'm just basing this on cervical mucus consistency.}

Typical LP length: no idea

Testing: I might shoot for the April 11th or 12th. The waiting is killing me.

R/R: Feeling better this morning so far. It is getting to the time of the month where PMS/PMDD symptoms start to surface, so I'm dreading that. Anyone else have it really rough before and during AF?

flowntheloop · April 2019

@lcking82 Sounds like a decent weekend! Glad you guys made it out of there safely before the arrival of more storms. We have had quite the stormy weekend as well! Today, we are expecting over an inch of rain (with storms)! UGhhh!

@madcouplewithabox WOW! Awesome you got to meet Jason Momoa!

@NYTino24 Aww cute. It is a good thing that you let them be!

I'm sure Mama rabbit will be back to check on them!

lcking82 · April 2019

@madcouplewithabox: Jason Mamoa?!?? 😍😍😍😍

flowntheloop · April 2019

@lcking82 I second that.

holly321 · April 2019

@kbrown2385 I love lavender! The weekend did go to fast, but it is nice to be spring.
@inthewoods23 I am glad you had a nice visit with your brother. My cat often sleeps on me and makes me sweaty, it is miserable. But he comes immediately back when I shoo him away.
@nytino24 they are adorable!
@madcouplewithabox, that is so cool!

holly321 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 26/4 A/L

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: so, I tried to be bad today and take one and accidentally took an opk. Thankfully I realized my mistake before seeing it and thinking it was positive.

R/R: so, this week has been awful. Home from work again... dh’s friend, BIl, SIL and nephews came over last night, which was fun.

mrsvp614 · April 2019

@madcouplewithabox LUCKY!!!
@NYTino24 Cute bunnies!

NYTino24 · April 2019

@sevenn welcome back and sorry for the BFN
@kerco925 I’m liking that rise!
@inthewoods23 Boo to the BFN
@MrsVP614 Glad things are falling into place!
@kbrown2385 I’m happy that your timing seems better. Lavender plants smell sooo good!

marebear15 · April 2019

Just wanted to start by saying @b_1029 , we will miss you!! Stick around on the other threads!

@kbrown2385 - I love nice spring weather! Are you hanging the lavender plant or putting it in the garden? Also, don't forget -4 counts for your timing

@MrsVP614 - I bet you are so relieved to have your kitchen back. It looks beautiful btw!

@inthewoods23 - Can't trust those expired internet cheapies, smh. :d

@kerco925 - Your chart looks good! Has FF given you triphastic??

@NYTino24 - Baby bunnies 😍😍😍

@madcouplewithabox - Pics or it didn't happen! I'm insanely jealous right now!

@lcking82 - Test tomorrow? That way you can be prepared for AF while you are away.

@flowntheloop - I got really depressed Saturday and yesterday, but it doesn't always happen every cycle.

@holly321 - I'm glad you were able to figure out it was an OPK before getting your hopes up. That would be a cruel trick!

AFM, I'm still here, so no AF yet and still getting BFNs. I've just been testing EOD since AF was "due" but I'm stuck at work with no supplies because I forgot to repack my purse from last month. Hopefully I make it through the day before it starts.
This weekend was just really hard. I was super depressed with not a lot of reasons why. I wasn't in the mood for company, but somehow our house ended up the party place on Saturday. Sunday I got some time to de-stress and binge on the new Hanna show on Amazon Prime.

b_1029 · April 2019

Awww @marebear15 you’re too sweet! Don’t worry, I’ll be around and rooting everyone on! 🤗

Eta I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself ❤️

madcouplewithabox · April 2019

@marebear15 pic below! Lol 😍

*TW, DD is edited out, but you can still see a leg*
*edit, cause non edited photo was accidentally uploaded lol*

marebear15 · April 2019

@madcouplewithabox - 😍😍😍 Not just Jason, but you look like a hottie too! And that's a super cute dress.

rikiteacup · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 6/23

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: Maybe this Thursday

R/R: I had a very productive weekend. I removed vertical blinds from my sliding glass door, filled in the holes, sanded, primed, painted and installed curtains. It looks so.much.better. I am proud to say that the family room is now the only room in the house with vertical blinds. They will eventually be replaced but this is an improvement. Wood blinds/curtains look much better.

CS/Q: Forgot my phone in the car but chart is looking exactly like it does at 6DPO.

littleredm · April 2019

@kbrown2385 That's exciting about the lavender plant! I am planning on getting one too this year.

@MrsVP614 That sounds like a busy and nice weekend. Glad things are back in order with your house after the renovations.

@inthewoods23 I'm glad that you had a good weekend with your brother. Sorry to hear about the BFN though

@kerco925 FX for you this cycle!

@sevenn It's ok to time some time away from TB. I've been doing it too lately. I hope everything with your home addition goes the way that you want it to.

@NYTino24 OMG THOSE BUNNY BABIES ARE SO CUTE.

@madcouplewithabox I'm so jealous! I love him. I hear that he's incredibly nice to his fans.

@lcking82 I'm glad you were able to get a full day of camping before the weather got bad.

@flowntheloop I'm sorry the PMS symptoms are rough. I usually get sore boobs and more emotional right before I get AF but it's not terribly bad.

@holly321 I hope that the week gets better!

@marebear15 I'm glad that you were able to get some time for yourself yesterday.

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD/DPO: 24/9dpiui

Timing: good?

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: not yet

R/R: Having lunch today with my friend who's in town from NY. Should be fun. This week is looking like a busy one so just trying to take it easy right now.

CS/Q: didn't temp this cycle.

rikiteacup · April 2019

@kbrown2385 lavender! I am so jealous. It smells so good and it's great for bees.

@MrsVP614 I love it when a house project is over and everything goes back to its place. What did you have done?

@inthewoods23 remember that you can't analyse your chart based on 1 temp. Dips don't mean much on their own.

@kerco925 are these high temps normal for you? Also, based on your OPK I would say you are 6DPO but based on temps, I would say you are 4DPO.

@sevenn I love house projects, can you tell us more about your house addition?

@NYTino24 Baby bunnies are so damn cute. And YAY! for a longer LP!

@madcouplewithabox your dip is most likely an estrogen surge. Totally normal. Your temps will go back up tomorrow.I have this every other cycle.

@lcking82 glad you had fun camping. Where was it?

@flowntheloop my PMS symptoms vary each cycles. Some cycles I have boob pain starting at 6DPO until AF comes, some cycle I have nothing.

@holly321 I hope you have a better week! Good thing you realized it was an OPK. I totally see myself doing one day.

@marebear15 I hope you feel better. Watching your favorite shows is the best when you're not feeling your best.

@littleredm Enjoy your lunch!

kagesstarshroom · April 2019

@holly321 I peed in the middle of the night & I was like "can't test til tomorrow now!" --I am so glad you realized it was an OPK first--I feel like that accident was your brain being like "not yet!"

@flowntheloop The waiting is also killing me, but I keep telling myself that I thought we had NO chance this cycle and then bc I O'd earlier than expected, turns out we have a chance, so I'm grateful for that & going to wait until I said I was going to wait until bc there's good reason. So, solidarity in the waiting!

@kbrown2385 I got a lavender plant this weekend, too! 👯‍♀️Also, yay for yr O changing since it made yr timing better, ^_~*.

@NYTino24 Sorry for the bfn--but I love those baby bunnies! How cute! We don't really have rabbits in Louisiana? I've never seen one in the almost-four years we've been here, at least.

@inthewoods23 Sorry for the bfn and confusing chart. My one dog insists on sleeping on top of me sometimes & she's 50+ lb., so I feel you on the "waking up sweating"--esp. now that it's been nice around here! I'm like "girlfriend. it's too hot for this! you have your own bed!"

Month/Cycle: 6/2AL

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -2

Typical LP length: 14-15 days

Testing: planning on doing it tomorrow, though w/ low confidence (chart isn't looking fab.) like I said above, though, I thought we had zero shot bc of my traveling during most of FW, so that we even have a chance, I'm grateful for.

R/R: DH is sick & I'm notoriously bad at taking care of him when he is--what I got from the tarot card I pulled today (5 of Swords, if anyone is interested,) was not to be too caught up in my own that I ignore those around me who can help lift me up, but it turns out he's also bad at being taken care of & didn't want anything I offered! I will try again in a bit---It's Monday, and my to do list is stupid long, too, so there's that. / Hate not having a rave, so... I wrote two poems yesterday!

CS/Q: nothing exciting, but here she is:

kerco925 · April 2019

@marebear15 not triphasic yet. I was two months ago and BFN.

@rikiteacup these temps aren't normal for me. Really nothing about this cycle has been. Usually positive opk, ewcm, and temp rise are all close together. This time they are all over. I tend to think I am 4dpo now because I never have a slow rise. But who knows?

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@rikiteacup I know, I feel like an idiot for googling "temp dip at 11dpo".

lcking82 · April 2019

@rikiteacup: we camped at a nearby state park - not fancy, but a nice setup!

kbrown2385 · April 2019

@kagesstarshroom I’m not convinced the change in o and timing will make this a successful cycle. We will see I guess! Sorry yh is sick! I’ve always been interested in tarot. Do you pull a card every day?

@rikiteacup I want all the bees to pollinate my vegetables, so I’m pulling out all the stops haha. I’m hoping it thrives, dh loves lavender.

@littleredm have fun at lunch today!

@marebear15 it’s a porch plant, so I’ll keep it in a container. We rent so I can’t have a real garden unfortunately. I’ll add the -4 tomorrow. Anything to help, right? 🤣 Sorry you weren’t into it this weekend. What’s the new show? I just started outlander and I’m obsessed.

@holly321 good thing you remembered it was an opk before you saw. I can imagine the emotional roller coaster that would have ensued 😬

@NYTino24 those bunnies are so cute! Glad your lp is getting longer!

@inthewoods23 glad you had a nice weekend with your brother!

@madcouplewithabox

kagesstarshroom · April 2019

@kbrown2385 I try to pull a card every day, yeah, & use it as a guide through the day. It's how I've been "teaching" myself the deck. I also made a Spotify playlist for the Major Arcana (soo like all the cards w/ names rather than w/ suits? Like, The Lovers or Strength rather than the Five of Swords or Four of Wands) to help me learn those. I like how the card helps me focus on one issue for the day--I don't really believe in "divination" like "good news is coming!" but I do believe that keeping yourself open for possibilities helps w/ being in tune with yourself AND the world around you. / I know how that feels re: the change in O & possibly success, but I always like to feel like we did our best/at least SOMETHING, you know, even if it doesn't work out?

sevenn · April 2019

@rikiteacup - we have an 1830s log cabin already attached to a 1930s farmhouse and we are putting a 1500sqft addition onto the farmhouse. It’s insanity. We’ve spent the past 5 years renovating the farmhouse and and the last 1.5 years trying to get the addition started (after an architect/GC fiasco) and the actual groundbreaking is happening tomorrow. Hopefully. EEK!

**lurking to drool over @madcouplewithabox 's photo with Jason Momoa

mrsvp614 · April 2019

@rikiteacup We had a pipe freeze and burst back in January and it damaged our kitchen and basement. It took two and a half long months to get everything restored.

ktmaesim · April 2019

Ok here goes my first post...my bestie @brookert615 is helping me figure these boards out because she's a doll and expert at literally everything.

Testing: Waiting for AF and its killing me

R/R: My rave is that spring has finally sprung here and I am so beyond excited to get outside after this AWFUL WINTER here ins Chicago. I need sunshine!!!!!

@kbrown2385 I can totally relate to the lavender and Costco, we always spend so much but no clue if it's even worth it lol!
