    @chichiphin - Hmm. If it were me honestly I would probably have a little bit of wine (like a small glass that I'd drink slowly while everyone else is having 2nd and 3rd glasses) and testing on CD15 but that's because I always err on the side of not testing and never believing I could be KU. Could you test the morning of CD13?

    R/R: going to a baseball game later but the weather forecast isn’t great. It’s beautiful out now so hoping it continues. I love baseball in the spring before it get so hot 

    @chichiphin if it was me and I wanted to hold out on testing I’d have a glass (or 2 if it’s over several hours) and just drink slow and drink some water in between. Or if it thought I wouldn’t enjoy it because I’d be worried I’m KU I would do the bathroom pour out you mentioned. Hopefully everyone will drink enough that they won’t pay too much attention to you!

  • @emeraldduchess I bet those cross hairs will move again tomorrow with another high temp! FF is getting closer and closer to your CD 19 O.  :) Also, glad your anniversary dinner was great!

    @bows22 Enjoy the baseball game!

    @whitealbum29 fx it’s too soon for pms cramps and they mean something else!
    @emeraldduchess yikes that’s pricey - hope the strawberry pie turns out well - sounds good :) 
    @bows22 hope the weather holds off for you guys to enjoy baseball

  • @chichiphin I feel like I was lucky to get any fruit at all!  The stores have been mobbed because the union workers at one of the local chains are on strike.  The majority of people around here (myself included) support the workers and won't cross the picket line.  The other stores that normally get moderate traffic are now getting slammed.  
    @bows22 hope the rain holds off for the game!  Hope the team you're supporting is doing better than the Red Sox right now. Ooof.
    @puppylove8910 look at you getting to class on a Saturday morning! Awesome!  How much does barre class mimic ballet?  I used to dance and I've been trying to find something like it besides Zumba. My problem though is that I am NOT flexible at all (and I'm short) so I would be the lady struggling to get her foot on the top bar!
  • I hope everyone is gearing up for amazing weekends. I had a brief chance to enjoy some sunshine today before heading into a long day of technical rehearsal in the theatre. 

    @emeraldduchess I took a barre class last year and loved it! I don't have much of a dance background and I found it to be a nice mix of Pilates and cardio coupled with ballet. I was taking a ballet class at the same time and I was happy to have that experience in barre. That said, I don't think you need ballet experience to do barre (at least the class I took) so your flexibility likely wouldn't be an issue - kind of a work at your own pace thing!
  • @emeraldduchess we are CD twins and sadly AL twins as well. 


    Month/Cycle: 9/9 (3rd after loss) 

    CD/DPO: 23/4

    Timing: I wanna day right on. Atleast according to FF

    Typical LP length: 12-14 

    Testing: I already feel like my bodies raring up for AF so if nothing else then I guess next weekend. 

    R/R: my rant is in the randoms thread. Rave is the absolutely stunning weather we are having today. I got a SUNBURN. I shouldn’t be happy about it but I am lol. 

    CS/Q: I don’t know about FF. Does anyone else with PCOS find temping helps ? I read once it’s not recommended but I feel like I need to do more. My chart in spoiler even though I don’t think it’s right. 



  • @kels0091 hi cycle buddy. :) Glad the weather has been nice where you are! It's pouring rain here. Yuck! 

  • @emeraldduchess oh yuck. We get about 8.5/9 solid months of rain. So once a sunny day comes along the entire island rejoices hahaha. 

    Not sure where you’re located but I hope the weather smartens up.
