Re: TWW Thursday 5/16
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -3,-1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Tomorrow
R/R: I can’t believe I didn’t cave and test this morning, but I think I’m too hopeful and don’t want the let down today. Anyway, we got our walk in last night so I was very happy! I feel like lately we have either had things to do around the house or just sit on the couch and look at our phones. When we do something like take a walk we get a chance to really talk. Plus it was perfect weather! I hope it stays like this for awhile before jumping to hot/humid every day
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: CD 27/ 6 DPO
Timing: Not sure what to say for this? Would appreciate some help.
Typical LP length: 30 days
Testing: None
R/R: I touched on this on the WTO/TFAS board but we are here in FL because we had a BUNCH of big family events plus a wedding. My husband left over a week ago back to the UK because he couldn't take off that much time off work. I am here until next Saturday. We tried DTD while we were here but it was hard because the guest bedroom is next to my parents room. I tried cornering him but he couldn't get going. Ugh. Sort of a "wasted" cycle.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: -3,-2,-1
Typical LP length: 11
Testing: Trying to wait until Saturday 8DPO. I feel like I will cave and do it tomorrow even though there is probably no point but I am so damn impatient.
R/R: I started temping yesterday, and both mornings I stood up and thought "oh shit! I'm not supposed to move this much!" So I'm laying back down having a groggy back and forth conversation in my head...
"You only stood up for like 4 seconds, it doesn't matter."
"What if it DOES matter and now your pattern is complete crap?"
"No no its fine it can't possibly shift THAT much upon standing and laying back down."
"But what if DOES?!"
Lol.. tomorrow I will remember. I'll change my alarm tone to establish a new pattern. The new sound will help me remember that I have a new morning routine.
@nolemama24 that is so frustrating. I’m sorry you couldn’t get the timing you wanted to in.

@nolemama24 I'm sorry you feel like this was a wasted cycle. It's always frustrating when we don't get the timing that we would like. Especially, since there are SO few days to try and make it happen!
@samvsimpson I'm sorry you're still having leftover O cramping. I've had months like that before too. It stinks! At least you're in Rome though. Enjoy all the gelato! That'll make you feel better.
@mrs_llama Haha! This made me laugh. I have such irrational conversations in my head too while TTC.

R/R: Also had super mild, dull "cramps" this morning which made me SS a little but I'm reining it in! Good grief. Just trying not to think about my body...at all...for two weeks. Other than that happy it's almost the weekend, we're supposed to have brunch at one of my favorite places Sunday with another couple. We've gotten pretty into our routines/somewhat anti-social since moving here two years ago so I'm kinda nervous, haha.

@nolemama24 timing usually mean days you had sex based on ovulation day. For this, you need to know exactly when ovulation occured. Once O is confirmed, you can look and see if your timing was good. The Fertility Friend app can tell you also. If you look at my chart above, my timing is O-3 (CD14), O-2 (CD15), O-1 (CD16), O day (CD17), O+1 (CD18). That means I hit every single day in my fertile window. Now, keep in mind this isn't required to get pregnant. If your H doesn't have sperm issues, just once in the fertile window is enough to get pregnant. I've been tracking since last July and I always O on CD15, CD17 or CD18. If my husband didn't have low sperm count, we could do it less. But as of right now, the more the better in his case.
@samvsimpson where are you going after Rome?
@mrs_llama I would discard the temp and start over tomorrow. Right now, temps are only going to be interesting towards the end of your LP. if they drop, AF is on its way.
@madcouplewithabox you're brave to skip testing AND temping!
@puppylove8910 Why are you putting your thermometer away during the TWW?
@whitealbum29 I always have a couple dull pinches around 4-6 DPO. And yet still BFN. I wonder what the heck it is.

@bows22 that sounds lovely! A walk is such a great way to spend time together!
@nolemama24 It sucks feeling like it's a wasted cycle! So frustrating.
@samvsimpson Ooh Rome!!!
@mrs_llama LOLing at your dramatic interpretation of the temping struggle!!! Super same!
@puppylove8910 I feel so much better putting my thermometer away during the TWW. I was obsessing over every temp, so I'm with you!
@whitealbum29 Brunch sounds so fun!
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Going to attempt not to.
R/R: Work has been crazy busy, which is oddly a nice distraction. I've realized though that my late O this month means FW will no longer fall during my vacation next cycle (which I didn't set out for it to be, but it felt like a nice bonus when it looked like that might be the case.)
CS/Q: Thanks for the help yesterday! I'm going to mention it to my dr.
IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP

CD/DPO: 20/9
Timing: excellent
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: probably tomorrow
R/R: I know it's not rational, but I just *feel* like i'm out this cycle. I just want to cry, and I'm dreading testing and getting confirmation that nothing happened, despite our best efforts. Also, work is hard. I have a lot of really sad cases right now (I work with chronic and/or terminally ill children, so you could argue that it's always sad, but some days are definitely better than others. )
I dyed my hair purple this past weekend and i'm getting lots of compliments, so that's been fun.
CS/Q: Nope
@bows22 We are still testing sisters! FX for you!
@mrs_llama Same. I had a crazy dip on my chart this month bc we slept with the windows open and had one random cold night. I woke up shivering, and, surprise, my temp was a whole degree lower. And when my animals wake me up early, I get mad at them like they're deliberately sabotaging my charting efforts!
@samvsimpson glad it warmed up!
@mrs_llama yes I hear you on spending this beautiful day inside! Good luck with remembering to temp. I had to change the name of my alarm to say “temp” - I told this to someone recently so I’m sorry if it was you haha.
@madcouplewithabox ugh sucks to lose in the playoffs at home!
@puppylove8910 yay for last temp tomorrow!
@whitealbum29 omg yes a treat! good idea! haha. Brunch sounds fun! Is it a fancy brunch?
@rikiteacup I hope you get some good news about your uncle soon ❤️
@mvt2003 I agree that the silver lining or bust work is the distraction from TTC
@shoogapoff yes! Good luck testing tomorrow. I know what you mean about not wanting the confirmation. That’s what helped me hold off today

@nolemomma24 - I'm sorry about your cycle this month. That sounds frustrating!
@samvsimpson - I'm glad the weather has improved for you.
@rikiteacup - *hugs* I'll be thinking of ya!
Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: "Good" according to FF
Typical LP length: 12-24
Testing: WFAF or 5/24
R/R: Oh I so did not want to go to the gym today, but I made it. I definitely moved a little slower than I typically have the past two days. I'm tried to avoid SS today.
CS/Q: Nope
@nolemama24 Timing is 0 for ovulation day and then +/- 1,2,3 etc depending on before or after O for sex/IUI/IVF/etc. I hope you get some great answers with your DUTCH test! I'm a step closer in my journey, but still trying to connect the dots (see below).
@mrs_llama There have been a few times I've stood up and took my temp, realized I moved and just stood there. I still was able to see a shift and pattern in my chart overall even if it effected that one number a bit. It is the forest you are looking at, not the trees.
@whitealbum29 I hope the weekend and brunch is fun! I have become more antisocial with age, mainly because I'm just trying to keep up with my life/household and ain't nobody got time to be social.
@rikiteacup I'm sorry about everything going on with your family right now.
@mvt2003 Work has been crazy over here too! Maybe you will get surprised during vacation with an early O!
@shoogapoff That is cool! I'm getting my hair dyed in 2 weeks, but I am going for a burgundy, red/brown color. That is as out there as I will get.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: Terrible
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Nope, WFAF
R/R: I just got my thyroid labs/follow up appointment done today. It has been a year since I started treatment and I am feeing 95% better. However my Reverse T3 went up so now they are switching my meds to T3 only for 30 days and then back to the T3/T4 combo. I did a food sensitivity test recently and am waiting on the results still. I hope to get this all figured out and back under control soon. I'm still trying to figure out what my root cause is, I am sure I have Low T3 Syndrome now, but what is my underlying factor for all of this (eating too little calories in past Whole30's, chronic infection like EBV, chronic inflammation from insulin or leptin resistance)? All things I'm still trying to figure out.
CS/Q: Nah, it's a hot mess.
