R/R: Feeling incredibly burnt out from this week, so I am glad to have a three day weekend. Unfortunately this is the point in the school year where I start questioning my career choice. I also had a dream that I got AF, so that didn't help. 😬 DH and I are heading out to visit my inlaws today and I am looking forward to some quality time with my MIL while DH and FIL golf.
CS/Q: Not sure how accurate this morning's temp is. I fell asleep on the couch around 9:30 (I am a rockstar, I tell you) and woke up around 2:30 to go sleep in my bed.
@emeraldduchess Sorry you’re feeling so burnt out. I hope this long weekend you are able to unwind a little. Have fun with your ILs. What kind of trouble are you and your MIL going to get up to?

@emeraldduchess - have fun with your MIL! Your chart still looks good, I'm choosing to believe it's accurate even though you woke up in the middle of the night.
@misshelen86 - sorry about the BFN! Happy almost birthday, sounds like a great bday weekend!
@sevenn - happy anniversary!
@varimama - glad you had fun at the drive in! Getting home at 330 would make me absolutely useless the next day!
Month/Cycle: 10/9
CD/DPO: 31/13
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: trying to wfaf which I’m expecting Monday....hopefully I won’t cave and test tomorrow
R/R: It's gorgeous here today, I got a great balayage this morning and hoping to see a movie tomorrow (Booksmart, supposed to be good). Feeling a little less crazed this month and a little more like it will be ok if AF shows up, than I was last cycle at this time.
CS/Q: nope
@emeraldduchess - Have fun!!
@misshelen86 - sorry about the BFN! I had one too this week but I definitely tested too early 🤦🏻♀️
@sevenn - happy anniversary!!
@varimama - I was the same way! Trying so hard not to SS but it's hard! I cut myself a little slack because I am a newbie!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 33/12
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: I sort of caved and tested way too early at 9 DPO 🤦🏻♀️ it was a BFN, but it was also a digital one. They didn't have FRER in Barcelona. I won't be testing until AF is due or the day after. Mostly because I am too lazy to try and speak Italian at the pharmacy and explain I need an FRER test 😂
R/R: Sorry I've been MIA the last few days, been enjoying vacay! Currently in Florence, our last destination before heading home on Monday. It's gorgeous here! It feels like every Italian move ever made.
CS/Q: I had spotting for 24 hours and intense cramps, so bad I thought I was getting my period early, but it never showed. So fingers crossed I am still in the game a few more days!
@samvsimpson Testing and SS on vacation can be really hard, but I am glad youre enjoying your trip!
@emeraldduchess I hear you on the burn out. Super stressful time of year for teachers. Hang in there!!
@misshelen86 Sorry about the BFN, but it is still so early!!
@sevenn I would be super excited by a reenactment too. My teenage self is slightly horrified by my current self, haha!!!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 18/4 (estimate)
Timing: -5, -3, 1, 0 (I think)
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: at 10 dpo
R/R: Not much here! Currently hiding from a student of mine at the playground. Husband and I ran into his boss an hour earlier. Slightly awkward, haha!
CS/Q: Nada!

@whitealbum29 oh we were useless yesterday. DH fell asleep before dinner which NEVER happens! Glad the weather is nice for you and I hope you enjoy your movie.
@samvsimpson your vacation sounds amazing I’m so jealous! Sorry about the BFN though but 9dpo is still early!
@bobbyflies2020 I hate running into people outside of where I know them (like work). Idk why but I get all anxious and awkward lol

Month/Cycle: 2/1 AL
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: Honestly, I'm too nervous to test because a BFN just ruins my day. If AF doesn't arrive tomorrow (13 dpo) then I'll test either Tuesday or Wednesday.
R/R: I have been cramping on and off since 9dpo. AF type cramps and sore boobs which makes me nervous that my endometriosis is returning. I had my right tube and minor endo removed back in early 2016 and never had cramping or sore boobs pre AF since then. Maybe I'm just WAY TOO in my head this cycle AL and I'm hanging on to every single feeling that's going on in my body. This TWW has been rough.
CS/Q: I stopped temping after I confirmed O, but then picked it up again at 9 DPO. Temp was 98.92 at 10 DPO and at 11 DPO it was 98.98 (both SO high). This morning it was 98.62. So maybe AF is on the way. I'm just TIRED of over analyzing everything.

@varimama hope you're recovered from your late night at the drive-in! I have been craving cheese balls since you mentioned them!
@sevenn Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a great time at the re-enactment.
@whitealbum29 glad you're feeling a little calmer this cycle. FX for you!
@samvsimpson oooh, Florence! I was there for like three days on a high school trip, I remember it was the most beautiful city! Enjoy all the gelato.
@bobbyflies2020 at least you ran into a student on the playground. I once saw one at a restaurant while I was drinking a margarita. That was...fun.
@NYTino24 crossing everything for you!
@puppylove8910 I am so sorry it's been a rough TWW. So many hugs to you.
@misshelen86 happy birthday to you! sorry for the BFN, but 9dpo is way early. So FX!
@varimama I always have to talk myself down from SS at 5 dpo too. So I get it! Glad the drive in was fun.
@sevenn happy anniversary to you both!
@whitealbum29 did you end up testing? If not, maybe we can test together on Tuesday? Unless AF comes, of course. I'm due tomorrow (13 dpo), but have had a cycle every now and then with 14 day LP so that's why I'm saying Tuesday to test.
@samvsimpson sorry for the BFN, but 9dpo is still very early! Enjoy Florence. Don't even think about testing! Enjoy all the vino and gelato. I love it there so much!
@bobbyflies2020 it's always awkward running into people that you don't really want to see. Haha!
@NYTino24 FX your LP makes it to 10+ days this cycle!

@bobbyflies2020 - haha, it is so uncomfortable to run into people "out of context"
@puppylove8910 - so sorry about the rough TWW. I felt that was last month and it was a roller coaster right up to the end. Hope you are taking care of yourself today! And I really hope it's not endometriosis returning and is much better news than that! I didn't end up testing and yes if I'm not out by tomorrow night, pee-party Tuesday! Fingers crossed!
