bows22 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -3,-1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Trying to make it until Friday

R/R: SS has taken over. This is why I end up testing early because I need to come back to reality. I’m still going to try to hold out though. As if I don’t feel stressed enough, I’m having computer issues so our IT person had to take my laptop home and I just realized I’m not going to be able to do anything until she brings it back. So now I’m lounging versus rushing off to work. It’s a nice change haha.

CS/Q: I do have a question about the daily threads - do people ever start them from the app or does it make them look funky? Sometimes I am on before they are posted for the day and feel like I should start to take a turn, but I only mobile bump

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@bows22 Getting to lounge before work is a nice silver lining. GL holding out until Friday! You can do it!!!

Month/Cycle: 10/1AL

CD/DPO: 30/12ish

Timing: Not very good

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: BFN this morning with FMU

R/R: TMI wanring: I ended up with some kind of stomach virus yesterday, and had to leave work in the middle of a meeting. Between that and the super sore boobs, I was SSing like crazy, so I went home and POT(wo)S. Both BFN, but I hadn't held it for very long. I slept for like 10 hours last night without peeing (probably pretty dehydrated) and so my FMU was definitely super concentrated this morning. Still stark white. Ah well. I can't say I'm surprised after how bad our timing was. Onto the next cycle!

CS/Q: Nope

mrs_llama · May 2019

@bows22 That sounds like a nice change! My Tuesday morning was full of traffic and cold rain ugh

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/4DPO according to FF

Timing: -3,-2,-1 (I originally thought I ovulated on CD16 and that my timing was -2,-1, 0 until I plugged my info and symptoms into FF. It estimated O on CD17 so we shall see. I'm going to start temping for more accuracy.)

Typical LP length: 11

Testing: 8DPO

R/R: Rant: This past weekend we had a graduation BBQ Saturday and Mother's Day dinner for the MIL Sunday, and we were in Chicago the weekend before. This coming weekend, I just wanted to have a quiet Friday night at home and my husband said he was all for that. Now 2 other couples invited us to dinner with them, but the reservation is at 8:30pm and that is just so late for a Friday to me. He really wants to go, and he literally always does anything I want to do so.. l will just suck it up, but after a 9 hour work day on Friday it will be the last thing I want to do and I'm dreading it lol

madcouplewithabox · May 2019

@bows22 yay for being able to lounge, but that sucks about the laptop!

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: 0, +1

Typical LP length: 14-16 days

Testing: haven’t this morning. Probably will though. I’m a POAS addict

R/R: sleep just doesn’t exist right now and when it does I have crazy dreams. *TW* I dreamed my best friend who is getting married next week was pregnant with twins. I mean, don’t I have enough of that ACTUALLY happening without dreaming it? Lol *end TW*

CS/Q: no temping this time so my numbers above are all guesses

whitealbum29 · May 2019

@bows22 - good luck waiting till Friday!! Just a few more days!

@shamrocandroll - so sorry about the BFN and stomach bug! I hope you feel better soon.

@mrs_llama - Oh man 830pm on a Friday is tough! When I have to do that I take a disco nap first and sometimes have a shot or two of espresso right before going out.

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 20/2 dpo is what I'm going with

Timing: pretty good I think. -5, -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: not for awhile

R/R: It's raining AGAIN in the northeast...I've given up on spring ever really happening for more than 24 hours at a time and just am crossing fingers that we have a real summer. I think the beginning of TWW is probably my most at-peace time so that's good...we did what we could, too early for SS.

CS/Q: nope, just cm and opk's so nothing to see

mvt2003 · May 2019

@bows22 I'm jealous haha. Started getting work emails at 6am today!
@mrs_llama Ohh I feel you - I'm useless Friday evenings. I have WW meetings on Saturday morning so I have an almost complete embargo on Friday night plans

@madcouplewithabox OMG that dream!!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 18/1

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Going to try to cool it on the POAS this cycle. I O'd super late last month (I knew it though), and kept getting excited the later I got past my normal 28 day cycle, only to get BFN after BFN.

R/R: Husband took the wrong set of keys this morning, and the key to my car on his set has a battery issue and the clicker doesn't work. I had to figure out how to get into my car without it (the model of the car has no visible keyhole), literally had to pop a piece off my handle to expose the keyhole. In the rain. No fun!!!

CS/Q: Nope

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@mrs_llama Ugh, sorry your relaxing Friday plans were ruined. Sometimes I have more fun than I expect in situations like that... but yeah, 8:30 on a Friday is way too late for me too. #old

@madcouplewithabox My dreams always seem to be about things I don't actually want to dream about too. Sorry for all the PGs everywhere! GL POAS!

@whitealbum29 All of this rain is killin' me. I've been struggling in enough ways already, and could really use some sunshine to help my mood. One town over from me even had some snow on the ground this morning!

@mvt2003 Cars are basically just big computers at this point, and I don't like it. Glad you figured it out!

whitealbum29 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll Yeah you have so much going on! There was talk that we were supposed to get some snow too but I think it's staying in the mountains north/west of us. I keep looking at 10 day forecasts thinking there will be some good news, and this weekend looks like it won't be awful but still! It's toooo much!

m6agua · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/ 5 or 6

Timing: Terrible, 0 or +1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Nope

R/R: DH did the dishes again last night! We eat mostly paleo and whole foods and rarely eat out so there are dishes every day and our dishwasher is run about every other to every 2 days. It is so nice that he is finally keeping up with doing them, I hope it continues every night. It is nice to come home from work and be able to get in the kitchen and cook right away without a pile of dishes on the counter or in the sink.

CS/Q: I overrode my O date to CD 14. I woke up 2 hours before my alarm and I was breathing from my mouth, my temps are so rocky this month.

mvt2003 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll I had to YouTube how to do it!!!!

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@m6agua MH and I came to a compromise about a year ago that his job would be to clean up after dinner and do the dishes while I do the laundry (both are chores we hate) so we'd stop arguing about whose turn it is. It's been much better since we reached that agreement.

rikiteacup · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 13/13

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: BFN

R/R: Had a nice birthday yesterday. We went to a local Neapolitan pizza place and then to Culver's for ice-cream. I had plans to leave at 4:30PM and then got hit with urgent stuff so I was still in the office, by myself at 5:30PM. Ugh! Also, H still doesn't have any idea what to get me. I have some ideas but it's a little too much $$ for a birthday gift. I usually ask for a spa gift card. Any ideas? What are some gifts you would like?

CS/Q: weird temps this cycle but FF says that are still on the up trend

mrs_llama · May 2019

@rikiteacup Happy Belated Birthday! Boo to a later day in the office than planned, but pizza and ice cream sounds perfect!

rikiteacup · May 2019

@bows22 I hope you can get your laptop soon!

@shamrocandroll sorry for the BFN.

@mrs_llama Hi! I would be dreading it too. 8:30PM is too late for a Friday. Maybe you can get a nap in?

@whitealbum29 they were talking about the rain in the NE on the news. I hope it stops soon! And I agree about DPO 1-6 being the most peaceful days in your cycle.

@mvt2003 waht kind of car is it? lol

@m6agua I totally agree with you! We cook every night too and I tell my H I need a clean kitchen before I cook. If I have to spend 30 min cleaning the kitchen, then my motivation to cook is 0. And do vaginal temps!

mvt2003 · May 2019

@rikiteacup A VW Passat. I was severely unamused at levering pieces off of my car at 8:30am in the rain.

mvt2003 · May 2019

@m6agua that sounds awesome. I hate having to start dinner with breakfast dishes in the sink. I do the laundry/folding, he does dishes, so I'm in the same boat.

bows22 · May 2019

@shamrocandroll Are you feeling better? I hope your stomach bug is short lived!

@mrs_llama 8:30 on a Friday is too late for me too! Is it a good restaurant at least?

@madcouplewithabox I hate crazy dreams like that especially when I’m already not sleeping well. I hope you have a better night tonight.

@whitealbum29 enjoy the calm before the SS storm

@mvt2003 I wouldn’t know how to do that on my car either. Guess I should probably figure that out!

@m6agua I’m glad your DH did the dishes again. My DH does the cooking so I try to keep up with the dishes. It’s only fair!

@rikiteacup my birthday is coming up too and there’s a concert I want to go to that I don’t think DH will necessarily love so I might ask for that. I also always like getting a new purse too!

inthewoods23 · May 2019

*lurking*
@rikiteacup it's custard not ice cream! 😂 DH gives me a hard time when I use the wrong term

shamrocandroll · May 2019

@bows22 I am feeling much better. I'm still a little bit scared to eat, though. I just had a PB&J for lunch, and so far, so good.

m6agua · May 2019

@bows22 I hope you were able to relax a bit this morning. I think posting a discussion from mobile doesn't really make a difference. For us, I do about 99.5% of the cooking and am often doing the dishes.

@shamrocandroll I hope you feel better soon. I swear these stomach viruses and sinus problems have been awful this year. We have had compromises about who does what chores, it goes well for a bit, but then I find myself doing almost everything. I will stop for a long time to see if he does it, he doesn't, and then it is more work for me in the end. I hope he keeps this up. I downloaded the love languages app and had him take the quiz too, so I think it opened up his eyes to me receiving love with acts of service.

@mrs_llama I hope the dinner will be enjoyable at least.

@madcouplewithabox Aww man, I've been having some vivid dreams lately too.

@whitealbum29 Isn't part of spring, rain? It's been raining a fair amount here too. I hope summer is nice this year too.

@mvt2003 That sucks, I hope your day has gone better.

@rikiteacup There is a Culver's basically across the street from my house and also from my work. It is my downfall. I love a chocolate concrete mixer with peanut butter sauce and heath bar! For gift idea, spa gift card, hydro flask water or coffee cup/mug, gift card to tanning, MeUndies, I like practical gifts too, like kitchen tools. I don't know if I will ever take the plunge into vaginal temping. I usually can still see a shift even with rocky temps. I do think I need a new battery though.

samvsimpson · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/1

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: WFAF

R/R: Constant cramping in my lower right side. Also been so tired today and just overall feeling like it was a yucky day. Ready for a new day.

CS/Q: Does anyone else have ovulation cramps for a couple days after ovulation? Never had it before so wasn't sure if it was common

@shamrocandroll Feel better!!

@mrs_llama Hope it's a yummy meal at least!

@madcouplewithabox ugh, I hate bad sleeps, I don't function normally. I hope you have a better night tonight!

mrs_llama · May 2019

@samvsimpson I was on BC for 15+ years and just stopped March 1, 2019. My first cycle after I came off BC, I noticed the post-ovulation cramping and have had it each time after. I know everyone is different, but it was definitely new to me as well because of being on BC so long.. but I sort of welcomed it hoping it was a another way to verify my timing/establish a pattern?
