    R/R: Our smoke detector started beeping (not because of smoke, just b/c I set it off Wednesday night while cooking and it's been weird since then) at 3am and I didn't get back to sleep. I do think we actually fixed it and it won't do it again...but uggh today is gonna be long. :sleeping:

    Month/Cycle: 12 / 3 AL #2

    CD/DPO: 22 / 10

    Timing:  Not great... -2, 0/+1 (not 100% sure)

    Typical LP length: 11-13

    Testing: BFN this AM on a cheapo test. I plan on testing again with FRER tomorrow or Sunday (or both...lol). I didn't realize I was out of them! I don't know why I torture myself with testing this early. Even when I have gotten positives in the past, it was never before 11 DPO & that was even faint....

    R/R: BBT is so erratic! My sleeping patters have been really poor--waking up every 2 hours or so to use bathroom. And the progesterone has me running hot anyway, so not a very good indicator right now. It is finally getting warmer here in Ohio, but still raining every other day. This is wreaking havoc on my allergies & sinuses. Good news is, I hope to get some yardwork accomplished this weekend! 

    CS/Q: not today

    @bows22 Sorry about the BFN. This whole TWW is for the birds!

    @nolemama24 That's great that you are feeling more energy! I feel like once the sun starts shining regularly & I have more time on my hands & less stress, I will be in a better place. 

    @whitealbum29 At least it is Friday!!! I do not function well on little sleep. My pup woke me up whining & crying at 5 AM. She had a tummy ache & ended up puking in the guest bedroom. So I got up, gave her a pepcid & rubbed her tummy for an hour & a half before getting ready for work. Spoiled rotten! 

    @rikiteacup Sounds like you have a nice easy day planned! I didn't pack a lunch, so already planning to run home & whip something up. Also want to grab my packed gym bag for after work. Friday is usually a tough day for motivation, but I skipped yesterday to handle the weekly shopping while SO did some yardwork. I have to at least get my 3rd day in! 
  • @bows22 sorry for the BFN :-/   Will be nice to have Friday off!

    @nolemama24 Awesome that you're feeling better, hope your results come back fast for more answers.

    @whitealbum29 That is the WORST. We we first moved into our house we did some major construction and the dust kept setting off the fire alarms at all hours even though we had plastic zipper coverings in the doorways. I didn't even know dust could set off smoke alarms. DH and I both vowed to never live in construction again. What a challenging 3 months that was.. no kitchen, no doors on the bathrooms (yikes!). We didn't have a shower for a month, and I had to get ready for work at the gym.. was great for my fitness, but very annoying LOL

    @rikiteacup yay for a half day!!

    @omg1108 FX for you. I hear you on the allergies- my eyes get so red, puffy and itchy. My nose is running constantly, too.


    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 24/7

    Timing: -3, -2, -1

    Typical LP length: 11

    Testing:  8DPO ?

    R/R: I remembered to temp before getting out of bed this morning. I changed my alarm tone and it worked. More great news... earlier in the week I was bummed about an 8:30pm dinner reservation for tonight.. DH got it changed to 7:30pm. YAY! #31goingon61
  • @omg1108 I could have written the same thing re:gym motivation on Fidays and getting your 3rd day in. Sorry about the BFN but your're right, it is still early.

    @mrs_llama 7:30PM dinner sounds better. 

    Argh! The big boss just got into the office and it's only the 2 of us. Now he wants to go out for lunch. Go home so I can go home too!

  • bows22bows22 member
    @nolemama24 I’m glad the new medicine seems to be working!

    @whitealbum29 oh no! that’s awful about the smoke alarm. Hopefully it’s fixed for tonight 

    @rikiteacup I’m sorry your boss ruined your plans! Will he at least take you somewhere nice/pay?

    @omg1108 my allergies showed up this morning - also blaming it on the rain

    @mrs_llama I’m so happy for you that the reservation got changed. That sounds so much more reasonable haha 


  • @bows22 sorry to hear about the BFN ❤️❤️❤️

    @whitealbum29 I HATE when that happens! It always puts me in the WORST mood!! 

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 25/4

    Timing: Great

    Typical LP length: 13-14

    Testing: WFAF

    R/R: My boobs are KILLING me today. I woke up to pee last night at like 2 and I couldn't get back to sleep because of sharp pain. Now all day they've been hurting with weird pressure. Pretty sure it's just because of hormones I'm not used too since this is month 1 of the pill but ouchie!!!

    CS/Q: nope!
  • @bows22 So sorry about the BFN. As you can see below, we're still in the same boat. 

    Month/Cycle: 4

    CD/DPO: 21/10

    Timing: excellent

    Typical LP length: 14 

    Testing: BFN today with an internet cheapie. Will probably break down and buy a FRER and test tomorrow, even though, what's the point of having internet cheapies if I don't trust them?! (Right, @omg1108?)

    R/R: It's Friday! So ready for the weekend! I'm going to a CEU tomorrow morning that should be really interesting, and then just plan to veg the rest of the weekend. 

    CS/Q:None.
  • bows22bows22 member
    @samvsimpson somehow I get tricked every month into thinking boob pain means I’m def KU. You’d think I would learn 

    @shoogapoff ugh I’m sorry we are in the same boat. I took a FRER and didn’t trust it so then did a wondfo haha. 
  • @bows22 I blame all the youtube binging I did about early signs. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
  • Sorry for the BFNs and dropping temps, ladies!
    It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
