Re: TWW Monday 5/6
CD/DPO: 20/5?
Timing: according to ff good
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: way earlier than I should. Ff thinks I should wait for the 15th 😆
R/R: went grocery shopping yesterday. It had been a couple of weeks so it’s nice to have food again. I also finished outlander and can’t wait for the new season. Such a good show!
CS/Q: why on earth do I not have ch yet??
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 27/7
Timing: Not good
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Waiting for AF
R/R: Rant: Now that Derby is over, I'm catching up now after nearly a week of little to no bumping. Between work craziness and ILs staying with us unexpectedly, our timing wasn't good. But I'm mentally ready for AF to get here so we can move onto the next cycle.
Rave: Derby is over and we can get back into our routine. Hoping to get back into WW and better eating/exercising too!
CS/Q: Adding to spoiler
Married: 10.15.16

TTC #2 1.1.19
BFP #2 7.3.19
EDD #2 3.13.20
CD/DPO: 24/11 (I think)
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: BFN this morning, WFAF
R/R: Rant: I got to sleep until 7:30! I feel so relax ed
Looking forward to getting AF and starting next cycle. I am going to start using OPK, but not temping. There are too many variables that I think would stress me out.
Now that husband is home I plan to spend some time alone. Maybe at the gym. I can't wait.

@kbrown2385 I just love that feeling after a food restock! Any recipes in mind for the week?
@MrsVP614 Lucky! We don't have any TJs very close. I COULD get my hubby to stop at one on his way home from work, but I WANT to go and browse!
@bobbyflies2020 Yay for gym time. I hope you enjoy yourself! I may be skipping the gym this week as I have two hikes/lunches planned with friends (Tues and Thurs). I really don't want to overdo.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/8?
Timing: excellent (every other day for the most part, with some back-to-back)
Typical LP length: n/a
Testing: probably waiting until AF doesn't show before I waste a test.
R/R:
Rant: I fell ill on Friday, so I didn't get much done this weekend. All of the invasive/nonnative honeysuckle and privet are in bloom here in town, so my asthma flared up and I guess my immune system took a hit. It started with a sore throat, and I just felt so tired that I spent most of the weekend resting. My sore throat is gone this morning, but I'm still pretty tired today. Maybe I'll be able to make it out today to see my grandmother (I had to cancel lunch with her on Friday).
AF is due on/around Mother's day, and we will be staying with our in-laws this weekend. Hoping that I'm not a complete wreck/grump. I'm not sure if I should bring a pregnancy test with me or not. What would you gals do?
Rave: On a positive note, I am SO ready to get moved out to our off-grid camper in the woods. We are only a few steps away from moving, and I'm very excited and nervous. We have already started moving some things over to the camper, so it shouldn't be too overwhelming to get the rest of our things over there!
CS/Q: Does anyone here religiously track CM throughout their cycle?

Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -5, -1
Typical LP length: 14d
Testing: BFN today.
R/R: no matter how much self control I try to have, I cannot help the tweaking, checking tests in all sorts of light, and trying to make a clear BFN turn positive somehow.I know there is still time, but it’s really hitting me that we are likely crossing the 6 month mark TTC.
CS/Q: chart is as usual!

@bobbyflies2020 jealous of your sleeping in! The house behind us has a yipee little dog that barks non stop at 630 every morning. It’s beyond irritating to wake up to. Sorry for the bfn.
@MrsVP614 glad you’ll be getting back to normal after last week. I keep meaning to go to Trader Joe’s but haven’t made it there yet. I hear it’s fantastic!
We also have a horrible yippee neighbor dog here in town. My white noise machine is amazing though, so it doesn't keep me awake at night!
Dating Anniversary: 1999. Marriage Anniversary: 2001.
TTC #1 since 3/2019
@flowntheloop dh hates white noise machines, idk why because I sleep so well with them. The dog doesn’t bother him since he’s gone for work well before the its let out in the morning.
@MrsVP614 - Do you guys live near the Derby or do anything for it?
@flowntheloop - From experience, do yourself a favor, and don't test on Mother's Day.
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: EOD
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Tested yesterday for DH's sanity, testing again tomorrow
R/R: Friday afternoon I caught a stomach bug (seriously vomiting at work is the worst), and my stomach still feels off. I haven't been able to eat many normal foods. Of course DH immediately thought it's because I'm KU and pressured me to test even though I knew it was super early.
CS/Q:
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: Nope
R/R:
CS/Q: It's been 4 weeks since H's surgery. This is the 1st time in 6 months that we have a little bit more hope that things might be happening naturally. We shall see...

10/07/2021: BFP - CP: 10/23/2021
12/23/2021: BFP! EDD: 08/31/2022
Month/Cycle: 10 / 8
CD/DPO: 35 / 13
Timing: high
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: BFN on Saturday (11 DPO). I was going to this morning but I felt pms’y last night and my temp dropped so I decided not to waste the test. Usually when this happens I start spotting later in the day.
R/R: It’s a holiday in the U.K. so should be quiet around here today. I am hoping to get some “big picture” thinking done. But first had to read articles about GoT 😊
Rant: We are going to London (work for me, fun for fam) and our car picks us up to go to the airport at like 5 a.m. Saturday morning. Contractors will be replacing our floors while we are gone, which entails moving out everything in my first floor, so I need to pack up and put away anything that I do not want move off-site this week. Also haven’t started packing for trip and work is only paying for my bag so need to pack as efficiently as possible.
CS/Q:
@kbrown2385 wow nice rise! When does the next Outlander season come out 2020? Have you read the books?
@MrsVP614 glad things will get back to normal quickly after the Derby. I signed up for WW two months ago and tracked for like 4 days. I should get back on it!
@bobbyflies2020 Sorry about the BFN. It is still early though! I am glad that you are going to use OPK next cycle it will help with the anxiety because you can tell more accurately how many DPO you are.
@flowntheloop tbh I would not take a pregnancy test with my to my in-laws because chances are if it was + you would spill the beans and then your family would get upset that the in-laws knew first, yada yada. And also it would make mother’s day tough.
@sevenn I hear you on the tweaking I was doing that Saturday and digging it out of the trash to double-check. I am coming up on a year since we took out my IUD and so totally get the benchmark stress – it sucks.
@marebear15 my husband is the opposite and is always discouraging me from testing. I think it’s because he is cheap though. Should I tell him they are like $0.25? :-D Hope you feel better quickly.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

Timing: Good, according to FF
Typical LP length: unsure
Testing: this weekend
R/R: well, it's Monday. Got a lot done around the house this weekend, so exciting.
CS/Q: pissed that FF changed my ovulation day. Messed with my timing a little. But, it's my first month so I guess that's expected as there's no previous month's to go off of.
Also, your O day is pretty clear. Why isn't FF giving you crosshairs yet??? Do you have the advanced detector setup?
@MrsVP614 I didn't know you were into the Derby! I guess I should have read TWW more
@bobbyflies2020 sorry about the BFN.
@flowntheloop sorry about your sickness. It sucks. It is hard for me to track my CM during the FW. I can usually catch the 1st batch of EWCM but this is a signal for us to start HIO. Then it is harder. I also track it during the TWW. I basically only track what I can see on the outside.
@sevenn sorry about your BFN. Keep in mind 6 months is nothing. It is fairly normal actually.
@marebear15 sorry you got sick on Friday. I hope you went home. Puking at work is not fun, at all.

@leksiL they just started production so I’m sure it will be a long wait for the season 5 premier. I started the show and then tried to read the books and couldn’t do it. The same thing happened with game of thrones.
@flowntheloop @MrsVP614 +1 for Tjs! We drive all the way to the state capital to go there, 45 mins-1 hour/more w/ traffic. Also, Flown, I changed my test date so it wouldn't fall on mother's day--it's too much drama for me if it's a BFN--plus I couldn't wait that long lol. I'd test before & then after if a BFN.
@leksiL Have fun in London!
@sevenn Sorry for the BFN =/
@rikiteacup Yay for your excellent timing!

R/R: Great weekend except yesterday was a sort of bust in terms of producticity & also my SS & BSC are OUT. OF. CON.TROL.

@MrsVP614 Sorry about timing! Glad you're getting back into the routine.
@bobbyflies2020 Enjoy all of that alone time!
@flowntheloop Hey!!! Sorry you were sick over the weekend! I would totally bring a test - just in case! THat's so awesome about your move! That sound so wonderful!
@sevenn I get it. I was there with a test this morning doing the same thing. It's not a fun feeling! Sending love your way!
@marebear15 Ugh, no! So sorry you got the bug. Hope you're back to 100%, stat!
@rikiteacup Crossing everything for you!!!
@leksiL Sorry about the BFN. Enjoy the quiet! Your trip sounds so fun! Hopefully the whole preparation goes smoothly!
@peppyj9 FF is a B in that way! Always changing those CH's
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: Ok
Typical LP length: *shrugs*
Testing: BFN today (yes I know it's still early LOL)
R/R: Had a fun weekend! Got to hang out with a good friend, hung out with family, got my ears pierced LOL. Busy day today but glad they go fast! Brought donuts in for my team and I totally ate one and maybe will eat one for lunch, kind of thinking this is a sign AF is coming because I usually HATE donuts. I'm still tracking the calories but that doesn't make anything better lol. Also pretty sure my true identity is out on TB if someone was curious enough to dig lol. But super funny how many of us live/lived so close!
CS/Q: Might whip out a digi if my temps go up tomorrow but I'm not super hopeful.

CD/DPO: 22/ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Probably 3-4)
Timing: Not very good. Only got it in on CD8 & 10 before MH hurt himself.
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: I'll probably just WFAF
R/R: The good news is MH didn't break his ankle after all! The bad news is he hurt himself right before my FW, and with everything going on in life, we stopped HIO and I stopped temping. So pretty positive this cycle is a bust.
CS/Q: Nah, my chart is useless this cycle.

@MrsVP614 I hear you on looking forward to a new cycle!
@bobbyflies2020 Sorry about the BFN. But yay for sleep!
@flowntheloop Personally, I would avoid testing on Mother's Day. You could either WFAF and test when you get back, or maybe test with a FRER right before the weekend if you want to know sooner.
@sevenn 10 DPO is still early! There's still hope!
@marebear15 Ahhhh, I hope YH ends up being right! But either way, booo for feeling sick!
@rikiteacup Awesome timing! FX for you this cycle!!!
@leksiL Sorry for the BFN, but hooray for London! Also coming home to new floors! Have fun, even though the trip is for work!
@peppyj9 FF likes to be confusing like that. Great timing, either way!
@kagesstarshroom Ahhhhh! Hold out until Wed! You can do it!!!
@brookert615 Did you not have your ears pierced before, or did you just add additional holes? Also, who hates donuts?

@brookert615 Sorry about the BFN. I want to talk about this subject in the randoms. Have we ever found someone we know on TB?
@shamrocandroll since you didn't temp and your H hurt himself, the Universe will give you what you want lol. Also, love your sig. Raccons are so cute. I don't know why they get such a bad rep. I am sad when I see a dead one on the road.

@rikiteacup: FX for post-op DH!
@shamrocandroll : yay that it's not broken!
I'm so late to the party today, but I'm here!
Month/Cycle: 12/9
CD/DPO: 25 / post-O (but not sure how far, maybe 7 or 13?)
Timing: not great, but that's okay.
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: no. WFAF.
R/R: Monday, that's all.
CS/Q: Not necessarily a chart stalk or real question, but just sorting out my brain. I wasn't really tracking this cycle (no temping, not taking OPKs regularly), but day 21 progesterone was compatible with ovulation (although doctor said not a sky-high as previous ones - called it a "weaker rise"). I do agree that I probably ovulated, but now I'm trying to guess which day (although timing-wise, neither is very good!).
A) Started having crampiness and O-pain on CD18-19. Took a few OPK's (days 18-20) and they were never positive. This timing makes sense with lab test, because my progesterone would not have had time to climb up yet on a day 21 draw. Also, I probably just missed the LH peak, since I didn't start until I already felt cramps. AF would be due around CD32.
Either way, I guess I'll know soon
@lcking82 GL figuring this cycle out! Sorry I can't help w/ your question, but I hope someone else can.
@shamrocandroll I kinda feel like temping makes me more anxious but hoping the timing is good anyway! Glad that overall YH is in good health. There's always next cycle!
@rikiteacup thanks for the input! I can't expect much just yet being it's my first month and my temps aren't always at the exact same time, but I'm trying! Glad to hear things are on the up for you and YH. Good luck with everything!
