TWW

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -3,-1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: I had terrible heartburn overnight which I never get so I took another wondfo this morning, still BFN. I may be slightly off on O date but not more than 2 days so I think it’s safe to say I’m out (I’m sure I’ll find reasons to continue to test until AF though!)

R/R: DH is golfing 2 rounds today so I have the day to myself! I should be productive but I probably will just relax. The school district we live in is appealing the assessed value of our house to increase property taxes and we are fighting it (we know it needs to increase but want to make sure it’s reasonable). Anyway we need this documentation that is probably still packed in a box somewhere so my goal today is to find that. I think that’s enough productivity?

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: CD 29/ 8 DPO

Timing: None

Typical LP length: 9 days

Testing: None

R/R: Last weekend here in FL. We leave back to the UK a week from today. Went out last night with a friend from college & we went to a food hall that opened up. Had lots of fun! I think we are going out on the boat later with my parents.

CS/Q: Just an observation.... My temp shot way up today, which means tomorrow it will lower, then tank the following day for AF.

@bows22 - Sorry about your BFN. I hope you have a relaxing Saturday!

@nolemama24 - Enjoy your last week in FL!

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: "Good"

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: WFAF or testing on 5/24

R/R: I was SS so bad yesterday. Fortunately, I went to a painting class with friends last night. It was a good distraction.

CS/Q: Nope.

Edit: Forgot to tag

bows22 · May 2019

@nolemama24 have fun on the boat! I love boating!

@spacemountaineer you have so much willpower! It’s so hard to keep from testing on the weekends.

spacemountaineer · May 2019

@bows22 - I wanted to buy a FRER yesterday while I was at the store, but I resisted. It helps when you dont have the right tests at home.

NYTino24 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 14/3?

Timing: ??

Typical LP length: who knows lately... short

Testing: nope

R/R: I’m not wanting to believe that I ovulated on CD11, but it looks like it may be true. I would have crosshairs if my temp today was .02 higher... Anyway, our timing sucks if it’s true and possibly if it’s not. DH got overtime last night and has another shift tomorrow plus the one on Wednesday. I don’t know why AF has been so long. My body is all messed up!

@spacemountaineer Was it a sip and paint? So fun!
@nolemama24 Your LP sounds short. Have you asked your doc about it? How long have you been charting and doing OPKs?

nolemama24 · May 2019

@NYTino24 yes, I have been working with my new doctor (I posted about it a few weeks ago. We are tackling both my thyroid and short LP. So far she changed my thyroid drug and I have done some tests). I recently sent in the DUTCH Complete dried urine test because the pamphlet caught my eye in her office. It mentioned short LPs/cycle irregularities on the pamphlet so I inquired. The test checks a bunch of things, including sex & adrenal hormones. Excited to see what comes back!

Just to add-- We have been TTC since January but have been traveling a LOT back & forth from the UK to Florida for a bevy of huge family events so some cycles in there have been "missed" due to traveling. I wasn't sweating it and using the "missed" time to focus on tracking my temps and OPKs to really learn about my cycles. One day after re-reading a section in Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I was browsing my data on FF when it clicked that I have been having short LPs (or ovulating late). I sprung into action because I figured it was my Hashimoto's causing these issues. I hope the new thyroid meds, bloodwork, and the DUTCH test give me some answers because if not, I have NO idea what to do in regard to the short LPs I am having & that freaks me out!

NYTino24 · May 2019

@nolemama24 I think I remember you saying you found a new doc who was willing to do a lot of tests for you? I wish I had advice on the LP. It has been an issue for me, too. I’m also getting my thyroid check out. I’ll let you know what my docs say, but hopefully yours will be figured out before I go!

whitealbum29 · May 2019

@bows22 sorry about the BFN again and heartburn! I hate when there are little signs like that even when you feel like you're out...quit messing with us, bodies.

@nolemama24 - have fun on the boat! The food hall sounds nice.

@spacemountaineer - hear you on the SS, it's bad for me this month already! Good that you found a fun distraction.

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: probably not soon...

R/R: It's so nice out today! We ate lunch outside finally to celebrate.

CS/Q: nope

bows22 · May 2019

@whitealbum29 your r/r inspired me to look up deck furniture! we moved last year and never got around to finding any. I want to be able to eat outside!

samvsimpson · May 2019

@spacemountaineer what is SS? I tried looking it up but couldn't find it? (still learning all the terms!)

@bows22 sorry to hear about your BFN! I'd keep testing too 😊

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27/6

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: WFAF or testing May 28 (when home from vacay)

R/R: We FINALLY had some good weather on our trip today and yesterday! Actually got to lay out by the pool and read, it was very relaxing and so happy to see some sun. Always cheers me up!

CS/Q: Nope!

shoogapoff · May 2019

@samvsimpson SS usually means "symptom spotting", like, all that over-analysis we do of every twinge, being sure it's a sign we're totes preggo. (I the *worst* about doing this, btw!)

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 23/12

Timing: Excellent, but apparently not good enough

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: another BFN this morning. At this point, i'm just WFAF.

R/R: I'll probably stay off the forum for a few days since this latest bfn. Im just sad and feeling defeated. I know it's silly, but ***TW pregnancy: my sister took 4 months to get KU, and she's younger than me.*** So I didn't feel bad not getting pregnant the first few months. Rationally I know 1.) how long it took someone else has nothing to do with me, 2.) I'm still in the window of "normal" and 3.) 4 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things. But Im not feeling particularly rational, and this month is hitting me harder.

CS/Q: My temp is still high. I figure it'll start dropping tomorrow.

I finally broke down and paid for FF so I get to delve into all the VIP analysis. Woohoo!

samvsimpson · May 2019

@shoogapoff Thank you!! That is totally me right now too!

whitealbum29 · May 2019

@shoogapoff - I'm sorry about the BFN!

spacemountaineer · May 2019

@shoogapoff- Thanks for answering that. It's been busy today and this is the first time I've been able to sit down and respond. Sorry about your BFN.

@NYTino24 - Yes it was a sip and paint. It was fun. I wasn't very good at it. My trees weren't very happy, they were more discontented than happy.

NYTino24 · May 2019

@spacemountaineer It’s the wine that counts!
