Re: TWW Wednesday 5/1
CD/DPO: 34/15 ( I am second guessing my O date right now)
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Nope.
R/R: AF needs to show her ugly face already. I had cramps from hell yesterday afternoon plus all the other fun AF symptoms, BUT the spotting stopped. WTF, body? I don't have time for these games! My rave is that I got out of Trader Joe's yesterday without junk food. Go me!
CS/Q: See rant. I am over this cycle. Temp is falling but AF hasn't showed yet.
CD/DPO: CD 30 / 8 DPO
Timing: -2, -1, O (Based on OPK)
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Monday. FF says to test Sunday but no way in hell I'm testing before a 10K.
R/R: I am going to focus on positive today. Rave -I took my first shower in my new shower last night and it was heavenly. Other Rave - I did a 4 mile run yesterday and was able to keep a pace of 10:10 min/mi which is great for me and I am psyched for my 10K Sunday.
CS/Q: *TW* loss
My temps have been screwy and my cycle long ever since my loss in January. This month I am not even sure I ovulated since I have not had sustained temps. My coverline is usually 97.4 so I'm hanging out right around there. Anyone think it actually happened?
@emeraldduchess it ain't over till it's over. You are still way above your cover line. Have you tested?

@leksiL Glad you like your new shower! Great job getting that run in!
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: Ok.
Typical LP length: Does what it wants.
Testing: Most likely starting at 8dpo lol.
R/R: The A/C is broke at my work and we have a high of 84 today. I turned off all the lights in my office and closed the blinds in hopes that it helps keep as much heat out.
CS/Q:
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@leksiL - It looks like you ovulated, but maybe a weak ovulation and/or low progesterone? Your temps just aren't getting very high.
@brookert615 - Hey cycle buddy! You need to help me wait til 10dpo to test, lol. No AC sounds like a miserable day!
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: EOD
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: 10dpo
R/R: Well, my OB appointment got canceled yesterday, so no progesterone test this cycle. Hopefully I can get in a get my hormones checked for next cycle (obviously hoping I'm a 🦄 and don't need the appointment).
I need to get on DH to get his SA done. We have the order, but he's been working 70 hour weeks lately, and hasn't had time to go into the lab.

@brookert615 lol at "does what it wants" for your LP length. Um, hope the AC gets fixed or you get to go home early bc that does nottttt sound fun. And I love the heat!
@leksiL I think there's a clear shift around where the vertical line is drawn or a day or two after it. Trust your temps--they're not perfect, but they are staying up as opposed to earlier in the cycle when they were down. Even a sustained a .2-.4 rise is a rise.
@emeraldduchess No idea how you managed that TJ's magic trick! All I've been eating since we went there are dark chocolate peanut butter cups...
Month/Cycle: 7/3AL
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Typical LP length: ~16
Testing: not any time soon
R/R: Yeast infection = common occurrence around this time of my cycle, but still mega-boo. / I've been watching the second half of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix and enjoying it.
CS/Q: No open circles but FF thinks I should tryyy to take my temp more closely to the same exact time. Not the way I sleep, FF!

@brookert615 I will take some of that warm weather, please! I am wearing a SWEATER right now.
@marebear15 you could totally be a unicorn!
@kagesstarshroom those peanut butter cups are amazing. I think they are better than Reese's. Flame away.
@leksiL Are you temping orally? One method you could consider to try and even out the mountain range is temping vaginally. But I get that it's significantly more effort to do it that way versus orally. I still haven't reached that point of desperation yet on my temp charting... but it's on the short list of things to try next.

@emeraldduchess No! That's awful that it's so cold that way! I love the warm weather but usually when I can go outside to enjoy it lol.

@leksiL Good job on getting that run in! I agree possibly O on CD 22.
@brookert615 Trying to work when it’s too hot is the absolute worst! At least if it’s too cold you can add layers.. most work places would frown on removing them
@marebear15 Hoping you are a unicorn! But if not I’m glad you have a Plan B.
@kagesstarshroom Sorry about the infection. Hope you feel better soon!
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: Great
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Maybe once more tomorrow if AF doesn’t show yet
R/R: I wasn’t super productive yesterday so today’s plan is to start the spring cleaning and get a workout in! I’m going to be working with a new counselor since the one I’ve been seeing hasn’t been super helpful with some things. I was talking about how I’m feeling really down about not getting KU and that it could take a while since my body needs to heal from Celiac. He told me if I “just relax” it will probably happen.
CS/Q: nope

@shamrocandroll I do temp orally. Maybe I will try another way next cycle. The problem I have is wakings with anxiety so I might try one of those sleep bracelets in a few months.
