Good morning ladies! Another rainy morning here in NE.

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (third cycle AL)

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: 🌟

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: meh...I don't know if I want to

R/R: Back to school today! Only 35 days left in the school year, which is mind-blowing. Now it's a race to get everything done all while keeping the students focused. May the odds be ever in my favor.

CS/Q: Nope. My usual 7dpo dip but it's tiny.

chichiphin · April 2019

@emeraldduchess good morning! good luck keeping the students engaged these last 35 days!! you can do it!

Month/Cycle: 10 / 2 AL

CD/DPO: 14 / 3

Timing: -3, -2, O

Typical LP length: doesn't matter - progesterone.

Testing: I think I'll test with FRERs starting at 10DPO

R/R: MH has a good friend staying with us this weekend, and we have great reservations/plans - so I'm looking forward to the distraction over the weekend!!

CS/Q: nah

puppylove8910 · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/8

Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Thursday, 10 DPO

R/R: I'm at the point in the TWW where I become super doubtful and basically ready to get on with the next cycle. Thankfully, I have acupuncture this afternoon to help reset my mood!

CS/Q: My unusually high temperature yesterday morning seems to have been a fluke.

puppylove8910 · April 2019

@emeraldduchess good luck with your students!

@chichiphin It sounds like a fun weekend coming up! Enjoy the distraction

ruby696 · April 2019

@emeraldduchess Good luck! No matter what happens, in 35 days, you'll be freeeeee!

@chichiphin Have a great time this weekend. Distractions are so helpful in the TWW.

@puppylove8910 We have the opposite problem. Usually by 8DPO, I'm super hopeful and testing *at least* once a day. I think your way might be better.

Month/Cycle: 19/11

CD/DPO: 6 dpiui

Timing: High

Typical LP length: 12 days

Testing: Maybe? I will if I can confirm the trigger is out of my system by the end of the week. Betas on the 1st.

R/R: We planted another Dogwood in our yard last night! I already have one with green flowers and MH picked a pink one up yesterday. I can't wait until they're both enormous (in like 15 years).

CS/Q: Nope.

puppylove8910 · April 2019

@ruby696 I think my doubtfulness is my way of protecting myself in some weird way. Also, I love dogwoods. We have three! And they are currently flowering and look so beautiful.

chichiphin · April 2019

@puppylove8910 i totally get that - i hope acupuncture helps out though!
@ruby696 dogwoods are so beautiful! i bet your yard is lovely

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@emeraldduchess - rainy NE here too! We better be having a glorious flower-filled May coming up. I can't believe the school year is that close to over!

@chichiphin - good that you'll be keeping busy with fun stuff this weekend!

@puppylove8910 - have a good acupuncture appt! I've been curious to try.

@ruby696 - ooh your yard sounds so pretty! I love dogwoods.

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 32/13

Timing: -5. -2, -1

Typical LP length: 13-14, more like 14 lately

Testing: wfaf, expected Thursday

R/R: Nothing super noteworthy. Oh I did use a charcoal mask last night and IT WOULDN'T COME OFF afterwards so that was stressful haha.

It took like 15mins of scrubbing, using a toner, re-washing my face etc. That's never happened to me before, I swear I used it correctly! It was from the brand Rituals so keep this in mind if anyone is in the market for a new face mask. It was 15 solid minutes of not analyzing whether my boobs feel PMS-sore or different-sore so that was a win!

CS/Q: nope

ruby696 · April 2019

@chichiphin Well, my yard would be pretty if my dogs didn't hate all landscaping attempts. Good thing I love them...

@whitealbum29 Hey, that counts as exfoliating, right?? 😂

ETA: tag

m6agua · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: +1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Nope

R/R: Taco Tuesday! And DH is actually cooking and grocery shopping! I am normally the one who does both 95% of the time. I did still have to call him today to tell him how/what to put in the crock pot for the shredded chicken and what to buy at the grocery store.

CS/Q: Nothing to see.

omg1108 · April 2019

Hi all- I usually post on the TTCAL thread & have been lurking on here while I figure out my crazy cycle.

Month/Cycle: 11 months / 6 Cycles/ 2 AL; **TW loss in 9/18 also***

CD/DPO: 25/ 11

Timing: -4, O, +1 eh...

Typical LP length: 11-12 days

Testing: POAS this morning w/BFN, but going to do one more on Friday.

R/R: I am on progesterone & doctor said to take it 2 weeks starting 3 days after ovulation, test, then either cease or continue depending on test result. My cycle has been shorter these last two months, so if this was a busted month, I just want to stop taking it & get on with the next cycle. It seems like I see that as a common theme. Even though timing wasn't great, I really thought it was going to work this month. *****TW I seem to be more fertile AL****** and the doctor also said the progesterone was going to be a good thing as long as we timed it right. I feel like my O days are still a bit crazy and I am not 100% sure what consists of a true O day. I am just feeling bummed right now. Sorry for the rant.

CS/Q: nah

@emeraldduchess Came back today after a long holiday weekend to do state testing. Makes sense? Ugh...
27 more days for me (25 with kids) including today. I can not wait for break and a mental reset.

@puppylove8910 I am with you on the getting on with it. My temps were rising very nicely & today I took a small dip which put me in the grouchy mood. It didn't go below my main line, but still. Grrrr....

@ruby696 I wish I had a green thumb. Our yard is a ridiculous mess over here....

Waving to you all!!!

m6agua · April 2019

@emeraldduchess Your chart looks so pretty! I hope this next month goes by quick and you can enjoy your summer!
@chichiphin I hope the food is good and you have fun! (Assuming your reservation is for food)
@puppylove8910 I hope acupuncture helps.
@ruby696 That's cool that you planted some trees! My yard/landscaping needs some serious love right now.
@whitealbum29 Oh no! I'm glad you were able to get it off.

chichiphin · April 2019

@m6agua ha yes it does include food! lol I have to do the same with MH... prob why I do it most of the time bc I'm essentially doing the mental work behind the shopping and cooking
@omg1108 honestly, I'd want to stop taking too to get the next cycle rolling. I'm sorry about the BFN

bows22 · April 2019

guys I’m out ...I had some stuff to do this morning and then came home to work for the rest of the day....went to the bathroom saw AF :'(. I did what any sane person would do and POAS the next time I had to pee (BFN obviously).

Ugh. I was suspecting that I was off on O date but wasn’t expecting to be this far off (or I guess I could have had a weird LP this cycle?) 24 days is the shortest cycle I’ve ever had. Ugh. DH and I are going away next weekend on what will now be CD 11-13, but then he is coming home first and I won’t be home until CD 16. So next cycle is what it is but then after that I may start temping again. I don’t think it will change much for our timing but at least I will know what my body is doing.

GL to all of you especially my (supposed to be) testing buddy @puppylove8910

emeraldduchess · April 2019

@bows22 I'm so sorry.

@chichiphin sounds like you have a really nice weekend planned. Yay, distraction!
@puppylove8910 sorry about the temp fluke. I absolutely hate when my body does that to me.

I hope acupuncture helps today!
@ruby696 dogwood is so pretty! I want to get a new rosebush for our yard but now I am wondering if maybe dogwood is a better choice.
@whitealbum29 this is exactly why I don't do anything with charcoal! Hope you have better luck with the next brand you try!
@m6agua I am super jealous of your Taco Tuesday plans!
@omg1108 ooooh, state standardized testing...I am so glad I don't have to do that anymore (I teach at a private school). Who scheduled it right after a holiday? My DH is a teacher and he's testing today, too.

puppylove8910 · April 2019

Oh no @bows22!! I'm so sorry to hear about AF arriving. Sometimes our bodies do weird things! Hopefully, this cycle is just a fluke.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@bows22 - I'm so sorry to hear about AF.

@m6agua - yum, enjoy Taco Tuesday!

edit - wasn't finished

c1kc1kpol1cn1k · April 2019

Month/Cycle: 11/1al

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: -2 / +1

Typical LP length: 11ish but nothing seems typical after **** a MC****

Testing: tomorrow or wfaf, we will see how I feel in the morning

R/R: have some cramping today so I'm guessing af might be coming soon, temps are still up but for me that doesn't mean much

CS/Q: nope

@emeraldduchess its rainy all day here as well

@chichiphin sounds like you have an awesome weekend ahead!

@puppylove8910 totally get you, I hope you enjoy your acupuncture, I usually go on Friday’s, question: how long does your treatment usually last?

@ruby696 so good that you get to do some planting now, all we have is rain and I can’t get out to the garden to get anything done

@whitealbum29 ahh I can’t believe that happened! is your face ok today? I’ve heard of that happening so I’ve avoided using the charcoal mask’s

@m6agua taco Tuesday sounds yummy, we’re still eating leftovers from Easter haha, enjoy!

@omg1108 great that your doctor is on the same page as you with the progesterone. Sorry for the bfn today

@bows22 sorry for AF ❤

puppylove8910 · April 2019

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k I am usually on the table for 35-45 minutes! I get a pretty good nap in as well.

whitealbum29 · April 2019

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k - sorry for the cramping! We are almost dpo twins and I'm feeling the same way. Haha yes, it surprisingly didn't look like my skin had been through too much afterwards.

I didn't know this about charcoal!

spacemountaineer · April 2019

@emeraldduchess - good luck with the end of the year sprint. That's crazy!

@chichiphin - have fun this weekend! I always love when I'm busy during the TWW. It makes the day go by faster.

@puppylove8910 - I'm almost to that point in my cycle too. Sorry you feel that way.

@m6agua - is it just me or do things just taste better when you dont have to make them? Enjoy your cooking break!

@bows22 - I'm sorry about AF and weird cycles.

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k - fx for you tomorrow if you decide to test!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: good (according to FF)

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: tomorrow

R/R: busy today: laundry, packing, cleaning the house, etc. No more cookie baking until I get down to my parents. I made snickerdoodles yesterday. They turned flatter than expected. Driving down tomorrow.

CS/Q: nothing today

puppylove8910 · April 2019

Feeling in a much better head space after my acupuncture session earlier this afternoon! I still don't believe this is our cycle, but at least I'm feeling more positive about it now. I often have to remind myself that I'm missing a fallopian tube and only magical unicorns get KU on their 1st cycle. Haha! Therefore, it's going to take some TIME.
