Re: TWW Thursday 5/30
Good morning!!!
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: Ok
Typical LP length: Average around 11
Testing: Probably Monday lol
R/R: The storms are so bad! DH has to drive his brother home last night because his car broke down. He called and asked if I wanted to ride up and we could get food aka Chik-fil-a 🤤. There were lines down on the highway so the shut down a chunk of the highway and were detouring everyone on the exit! What a mess! I got my spicy chicken sammie and peach milkshake so all is good I guess lol. On the way home it was closed southbound so we had to take a scenic route until we could jump on. Felt so bad for everyone stuck!

Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -4, -1, O+1
Typical LP length: short and all over the place
Testing: maybe soon if my temp doesn’t go down
R/R: I have some mouth ulcers, which I used to get in the TWW due to the progesterone surge. I think it means my progesterone is going up and back to normal. Hopefully this means a normal LP!
CS/Q: I had a jump instead of a drop!!!

R/R: Rave: I shared in randoms, but my boss told me he's leaving. I'm happy, since he's kind of an AH, but nervous about what it means for the future. This is also my last day of work this week. I'm taking tomorrow & monday off
CS/Q: I played with my times a bit, but FF still isn't giving me CH. I'm still going with O on day 17. Who knows.

Testing: Saturday
R/R: MH suggested testing today, so I went along with it and got a BFN. I will retest this weekend but feel it is a bust.
I have some down time today so I plan on going on my 2 mile walk outside and following it up with some high resistance on my elliptical.
I used to do multiple cardio sessions a day but have been slacking lately.
CS/Q: I have heard Tylenol is safe to take while TTC. Does anyone else take it for cramps?

@brookert615 - wow that i an adventure! weather stuff is so scary. glad you are all okay and even managed some CFA out of it hehe
@NYTino24 - what a strange symptom! progesterone is whacky but that'd be great if its a good sign for you

R/R: i've been out a town for a few days and supposedly some framing has happened on our addition! DH has refused to send me photos I think so I will be surprised, which is both irritating and endearing. can't wait to see for myself.
CS/Q: not much to see. cute temp spike this AM, happened last cycle too. i wonder if it just generally being hotter is resulting in an overall increase in my BBT.

@MrsVP614 Enjoy your time off! Hope you get those CH's soon!
@bobbyflies2020 Sorry about the BFN. Hopefully this cycle isn't a bust!
@varimama Sorry about the BFN
@sevenn Thank you!!! Yay on the progress in your addition! Look at that temp spike!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@kmornelas29 Glad you did well on yr interview!
@sevenn Yes, being in a different climate can affect overall BBT temps. It is based on the temp in the room you're in though--if it's cold outside but your heat is cranked, you might find yr temps are higher--and if you go to a friend's house and it's cold outside but they keep their AC on instead, they'd be lower, if that makes sense.
@varimama Sorry for the BFN, friend. =(
@nytino24 Yay for the jump instead of the drop!
@bobbyflies2020 I've taken tylenol for bad headaches and cramps since I've been TTC.
@brookert615 I hope you and yrs are okay after the storms! Some friends of mine in PA had some fallen trees--my one friend's mom had a tree fall on their deck. Wild.
Month/Cycle: 8/4AL
CD/DPO: 2 (still waiting for CHs, but should get them tomorrow)/17
Timing: if my O prediction date is accurate: -5, -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: ~16 days
Testing: not anytime soon.
R/R: DH has been having the roughest week. The guy he's working for has not been paid in forever (7 weeks--AGAIN) so they had to shut down that project... AGAIN & DH is the lead on the project--which means he is supposed to get paid a large amount at the end (and ideally weekly). Since the guy he's working for has to take a loss, though, bc of all the delays, DH now has to take one too--he's FURIOUS. He went above and beyond on this project. I feel so bad--plus, I haven't been able to get a job yet/figure out what I'm going to do for work this summer. Luckily, I get one more paycheck June 1 for teaching spring semester, but I'm a grad student so I barely get paid. Everything is just REALLY bad & I hate when DH is like this--he is SUPER sensitive and generally glum & there's nothing I can do about it. I feel like I need a rave now... My dissertation writing session w/ my friend went well yesterday. We wrote for an hour and talked for almost two. We're gonna try to make it half and half next week lol.
CS/Q: Got some open circles today bc I took my temp 5 minutes later than my latest BBT, but it's all still w/in an hour soooo it's fine.
Ugh, I'm so sorry about the pay mess up! What does YH do? MH hasn't been paid in 4 weeks now because they keep passing him around from one person to another at the short term disability place, and I am getting SO ANGRY and wish I could call and yell at them for him!!! I hope he gets paid ASAP!

@NYTino24 Wow that short looks fantastic! Sorry about the ulcers.
@MrsVP614 Hope you have a lovely long weekend!
@bobbyflies2020 Enjoy your workout! Tylenol is safe, but ibuprofen is not as it can interfere with ovulation and implantation.
@varimama Sorry for the BFN.
@sevenn It will probably be better to see it in person anyway! Hope you love it.
@kmornelas29 Hope you hear something back soon!
@kagesstarshroom Sorry YH is going through such a rough time right now. Glad your dissertation writing session went well!
