CS/Q:

NYTino24 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: -4, -1, O+1

Typical LP length: lately, 8, 10, 8, 12, 9, 9

Testing: I had a .2 drop, still well above the cover line, but I saw the tiniest bit of spotting when I woke up and I’m crampy, so I’m betting AF is here any minute... I did get woken up in the middle of the night, but I think the temp drop is real.

R/R: got my biopsy results back and the doc wants to do cryotherapy to reduce cervical inflammation, which if I’m reading correctly, will bench me 2-3 weeks and that could mean two cycles depending on when my appointment falls...

CS/Q: sigh

varimama · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 35/11 estimated since I’m not temping)

Timing: -4,-3,-1,0,+1

Typical LP length: not sure I think ~12 days

Testing: Two BFNs today bc I convinced myself first that I was a day behind in ovulation estimate and then that the cheapies I had were probably from the defective batch on the Amazon reviews 🤦🏻‍♀️

R/R: Just looking forward to the weekend. I have a lot to get done though and not a lot of time to do it since I don’t want to leave the house while people are working inside. Idk why outside doesn’t bother me but inside I’m like all nervous bc I can’t lock the doors when I leave bc they need access so my conclusion is I can’t leave.

CS/Q: Is FF VIP worth it even if you aren’t temping or is it just useful for temping? (Since the day after DH got the ACs installed we were told they were coming to replace our windows and had to take them all back out I figure buying a year of VIP is sure to get me KU in a month right? 🤣)

varimama · May 2019

@NYTino24 I’m so sorry for the temp drop and the biopsy results. Be kind to yourself today and hope you can do something fun over the weekend

NYTino24 · May 2019

@varimama I personally don’t think it’s worth it unless you’re temping, but plenty of ladies use the regular one even when doing IF treatments and not temping. It depends on how much data other you’re inputting (like CM, CP, etc.)

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

@varimama I don't temp, so I am no help there. I understand not wanting to leave while people are there. Sorry about the BFN. It is still early though!

@NYTino24 Sorry about having to be benched, I wonder when the doctor will recommend you do it for best results? Keep us posted on how it goes!

kerco925 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 7 AL

CD/DPO: 5 dpo

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 13ish days

Testing: Probably 9 dpo

R/R: We closed on our house yesterday, but we have so much work to do to update the house. This is such a busy time of year, so I am going to be soooo busy.

CS/Q: none

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 24/9-11 dpo

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: BFN today

R/R: I am bummed about not conceiving this cycle.. My period could come as soon as 2 days from now and then I will be officially out!

Going to go buy some new padded, supportive sports bras and really recommit to working out, beyond my 2 mile walks outside!

CS/Q: nope

NYTino24 · May 2019

@bobbyflies2020 I really have no idea.

I have to call once I get AF to schedule. I think I need to wait until after the RE appointment in 12 days because I’m supposed to have a transvaginal ultrasound with them on 6/12 and I will need to be on pelvic rest for 2-3 weeks after the procedure.

kmornelas29 · May 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -2,-1,O, 1

Typical LP length: 14-16

Testing: 9 dpo + five days to go! Idk why I start earlier than I probably should, the optimism sometimes is a reality check that early!

R/R: I have 5 days left of our school year! I am so done and checked out. I need summer break! Teachers don’t have time off, we’re in recovery! Ha.

CS/Q: I wish I would have watched CM better this cycle. Sigh

kmornelas29 · May 2019

@bobbyflies2020 I need some workout motivation! Good for you. I’m always too exhausted after work each day.

@kerco925 congrats on closing! We just did yesterday too! We’re close in DPO too! Looks like we’re testing similar days. Crossing fingers!

brookert615 · May 2019

I'll tag in another post! I'm never fast enough lol.

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: Ok

Typical LP length: Average around 11.

Testing: Probably 8 DPO because that's how I roll.

R/R: I feel so bad for DH. On Wednesday he went out of his way to help his brother with car troubles and found out that his brother needs a new engine so we had to drive him back to his house. Yesterday DH borrowed his friend's tow truck to pick his brother's car up and bring it to the dealership. On his way home the tow truck broke down and he thinks it's going to be an expensive fix. It's one of those time/place type things and even though it was just wear and tear on the tow truck DH feels obligated to pay/fix for everything. So he's going to be working on the tow truck tonight as well as this weekend.

CS/Q: I don't know what my chart is doing lol. GO UP TEMPS!

brookert615 · May 2019

@NYTino24 Sorry about the temp drop and cramping! I'm sorry about your biopsy results and possibly getting benched

.

@varimama Sorry about your BFNs! Sorry you feel like you can't leave - I get it though! I don't use VIP FF. I'm too cheap lol.

@kerco925 Yay on closing!!! Congrats! Even though there's a lot of updates you can make everything the way you want it to be! You got this!

@kmornelas29 That's awesome school is almost over!

babyodo · May 2019

My first time participating since I introduced myself to the board, but I feel like I'm going crazy during the TWW, so here goes nothin'.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 37/16

Timing: -1, O (we only decided spur of the moment to actually start trying, so that's how it worked out this month)

Typical LP length: 14-15 days

Testing: BFN this morning

R/R: I received two really great compliments from separate clients at my internship for grad school on Wednesday, so that has put me in a pretty good mood this week.

CS/Q: none

brookert615 · May 2019

@ttcbabyodo Welcome! How are you tracking ovulation? Also that's wonderful that you're getting compliments from clients!

babyodo · May 2019

I have two separate apps (Flo, and My Fertility Charts). I've been using My Fertility Charts for the past five years when we were TTA, so I'm used to temping, charting, checking my CM, and using OPKs to figure out my fertile window. I've been using Flo for about a year now, mainly because I can track more signs/symptoms, but I wish it also charted my temps, because I like it better than My Fertility Charts. The only real reason I keep My Fertility Charts is because 1) I've used it for so long, and 2) It has all my history. I'll probably do away with it after a while, since I have to pay for it, and Flo is free.

brookert615 · May 2019

@ttcbabyodo Got it! The apps that have all the data are so hard to get rid of! I get it! I do like Flo as well!

sevenn · May 2019

@NYTino24 - shoot me a PM with details of your results if you don’t mind. I’ve got some experience with this and cryo isn’t commonly recommended

varimama · May 2019

@kerco925 congrats on closing on your house! Good luck with your updates!

@bobbyflies2020 Sorry about your BFN too! Do you have any good supportive bras you like? I need to get some more support in mine too!

@kmornelas29 good luck getting through the last 5 days!

@brookert615 man that sounds so awful for YH! What terrible timing. Hope it’s not too bad of a fix!

@ttcbabyodo sorry about your BFN. That’s great you’ve got compliments on your internship!

babyodo · May 2019

Thanks @varimama and @brookert615! I'm really trying not to symptom spot, because I know the likelihood of this happening on our first try is slim to none (especially given our timing), but I've never, ever been this late before. And some of the symptoms I've had this cycle are also new to me. But, the BFN this morning was a clear sign that I need to chill, lol. I won't test again till Monday at the soonest if AF hasn't arrived.

kagesstarshroom · May 2019

@ttcbabyodo My "FMC" app was, like, the sister app to FF (not a thing I knew when I first downloaded it) so all my cycle data was able to be transferred to FF, which was... amazing. Not that I was tracking ovulation or anything, just cycle length really, but it made me feel like I wasn't starting from ground zero. Sorry for the SS/BFN.

@varimama Convincing yourself you were a day behind O is so for real. I feel like posting in the dailies keeps me from overthinking that... sometimes. I'm like "well I have been telling them I am this DPO, so it must really be bc why would I say it so many times." but then I'm like "...but what if FF is wrong!? & then *I* am wrong?!" Anyway. Sorry for the BFNs =( As for FF VIP being worth it/not, it's basically their analysis features that make VIP worth it--if you are tracking CM/OPKing/doing other things, it might be worth it? But I think that bc temps are THE best indicator that you've ovulated, after you've ovulated, I am not sure how the analysis would look w/out them?

@NYTino24 Sorry for the results meaning you might have to be benched a few future weeks. That is rough, esp. on a day like today.

Month/Cycle: 8/4AL

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -5, -3, -1, O (so, SMEP-ish--we didn't get any of the after O FWP in.)

Typical LP length: ~16 days

Testing: Aiming for 11 DPO.

R/R: See Weekly Randoms for dog/neighbor drama rant, if you'd like. DH approved of my putting his cups on Etsy, so I just have to make a few changes today and then we are live! I also am being interviewed by a friend about my tattoos for her folklore project--soon! I didn't get to do my yoga, and have to go put not-yoga clothes on now.

CS/Q: Really wish FF abided by the "as long as you temp w/in the same hour, it's fine" rule & dumped these damn open circles bc I detest them. But sigh fine whatever.

brookert615 · May 2019

@kagesstarshroom That's so exciting about the etsy page going live!!! Ohhh! What are your tattoos? Sorry you didn't make yoga! Sorry FF is being a B for you!!!

mrsvp614 · May 2019

I’ll come back to tag when my mobile app decides to work better 😬

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 24/7?

Timing: good!

Typical LP length: last 2 were 8

Testing: next week

R/R: Off work today and I was excited about a full night of sleep, but I woke up at 5:30 with a wicked headache and nausea, so I can’t help but SS. Then I got a mani/pedi and we’re doing dinner with my parents, aunt and uncle tonight at a new steakhouse.

CS/Q: FF is refusing to give me CH 🤷🏻‍♀️

brookert615 · May 2019

@MrsVP614 Glad you were able to sleep! Sorry you're not feeling well! Sounds lovely about the mani/pedi! Enjoy the time out and eat all of the steak!

kagesstarshroom · May 2019

@MrsVP614 Have you tried messing w/ the open circle temps? Like, maybe disregarding those two higher ones on CD11 & 12? Sometimes, it'll give CH if you mess w/ it like that (or has in the past).

@brookert615 I have a botanical chest piece (i got this one last year) & a ram skull w/ flowers on my upper back & a geometric symbol above it that I got like 3-4 years ago. Thanks for asking. 😊

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

Ugh, guys. I had cramping all day and nausea and started to spot. I think, this is my period coming early, but I am on CD 24.

Now may crazy brain thinks this is implantation cramping/bleeding.

Wah. Sorry, for the pity party.

mrsvp614 · May 2019

@kagesstarshroom Thanks! Duh! I had messed with the times, but once I discarded, I got CH on day 16. Earlier than I thought, but we’ll see!

varimama · May 2019

@bobbyflies2020 oh man my mind would be going to the same place. I don’t want to get your hopes up but I read implantation can occur as late as 12dpo so FX that’s what it is for you!

Im like trying to hang onto the idea that maybe implantation hasn’t happened yet but then I have to remind myself my “symptoms” wouldn’t be happening either 🤷🏻‍♀️

bobbyflies2020 · May 2019

@varimama Thanks. I honestly dont trust any symptoms because I think that hormones slowing down digestion often give me cramps similar to period cramps.

But yea.. It would probably take at least another day (13 or 14 dpo) for it to be picked up on a test, too.

Sorry I never responded about the bras. I dont have a rec. I am still wearing the same bras from 3 years ago when I was 30 lbs lighter!

inthewoods23 · June 2019

*lurking*
@ttcbabyodo Flo does track temps. Go into any day and scroll to the bottom and you'll see a button to add parameters. BBT is in there to select.

babyodo · June 2019

Thanks! And yes, I do track my temps in Flo, as well, but what I meant was that it doesn't show that data on a chart.

inthewoods23 · June 2019

@ttcbabyodo it's a little hidden!

After opening the app, go to More > Graphs & Reports > BBT and Ovulation

Flo doesn't care about time so you won't ever see the open circles like FF has. There's no such thing as the coverline, but it will pinpoint O day once you have enough high temps after O!

babyodo · June 2019

Thank you, @inthewoods23! Clearly, my newbie badge is showing, lol.

inthewoods23 · June 2019

@ttcbabyodo always here to help!
