Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 24/8

Timing: EOD

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Tomorrow!

R/R: The SS continues so I’m glad I’m testing tomorrow to bring me back to reality that it’s still so early. The person that I have worked with on my “summer” clients for several years left our firm this fall so today is day 1 of training the new person. He started at our firm in the fall so he’s not brand new but no experience yet with this type of client. Wish me luck and patience!

CS/Q:

lcking82 · June 2019

@bows22: good luck!!

Month/Cycle: 12/10?

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: meh

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: trying to wait til Friday, if no AF. Overslept this morning, so not testing was “easy” as I rushed around!

R/R: progesterone levels from last week confirmed O! But have been getting a little crampy, so not thinking very positively

CS/Q: not temping 🙂

bows22 · June 2019

@lcking82 thanks! good job not testing today!

lcking82 · June 2019

@bows22: have to give credit to the alarm that was so easily turned off instead of “snoozed!” 😅😅😅😅.

mvt2003 · June 2019

@bows22 Good luck! Hopefully he's a quick study!!

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 16/1

Timing: -3

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Nope

R/R:I'm getting back into the swing of things post-vacation, trying to get caught back up. I'm getting back into my normal workout schedule too, which will help!

mvt2003 · June 2019

@lcking82 Confirmed O is great!! The waiting is so hard though!!

kagesstarshroom · June 2019

@bows22 GL tomorrow! I feel like some of us stress less when we test (can you tell I am a poet) & others are better waiting as long as possible. I am kind of somewhere inbetween. I wish I could wait, but I often set a date to test & then wind up doing it like the day before or something.

@mvt2003 Glad you are getting back into yr sched. & that working out is helping.

@lcking82 GL this cycle & w/ waiting til Friday!

Month/Cycle: 9/4AL

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: "high"

Typical LP length: ~16

Testing: WFAF

R/R: My rant is still about the nonsense I posted in Randoms yesterday bc it's giving me & DH stupid anxiety & I can't handle it, but I am trying to. But my rave is that DH came into my office yesterday & asked, "How was your day?" and I was straight like, "bad" & he asked why, so I gave him the list, including the BFN, &... he was like, "I want to get an SA" & said he wants to try to be more involved bc he knows I want this & doesn't want me to have to shoulder everything. Sometimes I feel like he can read my mind. I am still annoyed that he's doing some of the things he had stopped doing for lent again, but at least not as much & at least now he wants to be more involved w/ this whole TTC thing.

CS/Q: I totally deserve that open circle today lol, I didn't set an alarm to temp and didn't wake up when DH woke up, so it's, like, over an hour after I've been temping lately. OOPS. If I set an alarm, it fucks the temp up too, though, bc my heart is then racing, so I haven't been setting one? Also, I'm WFAF anyway -_-.

rikiteacup · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: Great (-3, -2, -1, O)

Typical LP length: 13-15 days

Testing: Maybe tomorrow if I don't forget.

R/R: I am happy the big boss isn't in the office this week. He always wants to go to a restaurant for lunch and it's just too much for me. I need to go for team building but I am tired of bar food. I like my 40 min walks listening to podcasts and my carefully planned WW lunches. And I like leaving work with almost 7K steps instead of under 2K.

CS/Q: everything looks normal

shamrocandroll · June 2019

@bows22 GL testing!!! FX for you! And good luck with training!

@lcking82 It's great when life happens in a way that helps with not being tempted to pee on all the things!

@mvt2003 Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful vacation!

@kagesstarshroom Aww that's really sweet of YH. I haven't had "that talk" with MH yet, but I'm starting to think maybe we should think about doing some testing? I dunno. This is hard.

@rikiteacup Your lunch plans sound much nicer. My walking buddy's husband is gone for work this week, so she can't walk in the mornings with me, and I won't go solo that early in the mornings, and so my steps are suffering. I hope to get out at lunch today instead!

shamrocandroll · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 11/2 AL

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: I was going to wait until tomorrow, but then my temp spiked, so I tested with a cheapie. BFN

R/R: Irritated with/discouraged this cycle. On the bright side, I did a draft technical review of my big presentation this morning, and either everyone understood the way I explained my data, or no one did, so they didn't ask any questions. There were a couple of stats nerds in the room, so I'm hoping for the former. I still have a bunch of work to do on it before this time next week, but I feel pretty good about it.

CS/Q: WTF...

puppylove8910 · June 2019

Good luck tomorrow @bows22!!! Everything is crossed for you. I really hope this is it!

Yay for a confirmed O @lcking82! Good luck to you if you decide to test.

Post vacation catch up is always so hard @mvt2003! Haha!

@kagesstarshroom I'm happy to hear that your DH is willing to move forward with a SA. It couldn't hurt to have more answers. I hope he schedules it soon!

@rikiteacup Get those steps in girl! Enjoy

rikiteacup · June 2019

@bows22 good luck with the training. Sounds like this employee is already seasoned so hopefully it should go well.

@lcking82 yay for confirmed O!

@mvt2003 welcome back from your vacation and welcome to the TWW!

@kagesstarshroom this is very good news about your H! I hope he keeps it up.

bows22 · June 2019

@mvt2003 that’s great that you got back into your workout routine after vaca. I need to be more motivated!

@kagesstarshroom I’m so happy that your H is coming around, even if it’s just a little bit! Sometimes I want to wait to test too - I think when I have a feeling I’m out, I like to wait to delay the letdown. But sometimes I get hopeful and then the buildup of hope gets to be too much. So it really depends on my mindset each cycle. TTC is such a roller coaster

@rikiteacup I might have said all of this before but I go out to lunch a lot with my job and get the same way with bar food. People tease me because I’ll order grilled cheese a lot but sometimes I just want something simple!

@shamrocandroll WTF to your chart, indeed. Will you try a non-cheapie again? I’m glad your work project is going well!

thanks @puppylove8910!

rikiteacup · June 2019

@bows22 I also order the grilled cheese and side salad or fruit.

@shamrocandroll Do you usually get spikes like that? I usually get my highest temp around 11DPO.

shoogapoff · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: -3,-2,-1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: I think tomorrow....I kind of feel like this is a Schrodinger's cat situation, and not testing keeps the hope alive that I might actually be KU, so we'll see how I feel in the AM.

R/R: We had major storms this weekend. Our house is okay, but a lot of people don't have power. Our friends are staying with us until theirs gets turned back on. So I've been pretty absent on the dailies lately. Hoping things calm down soon!

CS/Q: Staying pretty on-trend with past months so far....

kagesstarshroom · June 2019

@shamrocandroll I feel like we are weirdly connected sometimes--we both have these bonkers charts this cycle w/ all these ups & downs & weren't we CD twins last cycle, plus other stuff. Sorry re: the spike hope & BFN =/. I also had a higher temp (not like yrs!) today but that was bc I temped so late. An SA is like the easiest, cheapest I think, test of that nature, so it's definitely worth considering.*TW loss* I think MH thought we'd have an easier time of it bc we got pg 2 cycls after my cp so maybe he thought it'd be as easy after the mmc, and I think now that we're onto cycle 5 (though our 4th of actually trying) he is like "welp, maybe time to get the boys tested." *end TW*

@rikiteacup Now I want grilled cheese & tomato soup for lunch...

@puppylove8910 Thanksss. I was literally just in the dailies and TTCAL yesterday bitching about how he seems to not care bc of his reupped bad habits, and now he's dutifully swallowing vitamins and suggesting a SA! He must be on here as a newb catfishing us... TOO SOON, I know, too soon lol.

@bows22 I feel like sometimes I KNOW I'm out & can be real zen about it and other times I don't, and I wish I just always "knew" even though that "knowing" is probably bs lol we know nothing agghhh :dives into the abyss.: :the abyss turns out to be full of puppies though so it's all gonna be okay: (didn't want to be too dark haha).

shoogapoff · June 2019

@shamrocandroll Sorry about BFN. You're not out till AF, but I understand how hard it is, especially when timing was really good.

@bows22 @rikiteacup Tomorrow testing buddies!

@kagesstarshroom Those open circles....I always take them personally, like FF is getting on to me! But some days it's a catch 22... take temp at the right time, but without good sleep or whatever vs take temp later with good sleep and get an open circle. *sigh*

mvt2003 · June 2019

@rikiteacup I would FAR prefer lunchtime walks with podcasts over a restaurant with work colleagues! I'm doing WW too - salad with deli turkey and a hardboiled egg is on the menu today! What did you pack? Also, what podcast? I've got an episode of Murder Squad to finish, then the final episode of The Shrink Next Door!

@kagesstarshroom FX for a quick SA! So happy YH is being proactive about it!! Also super glad he's in a better head space

@shamrocandroll FX for a good presentation! I'm in the same boat of having to broach the SA topic too, so I feel you.

@shoogapoff I feel the same way sometimes, like when I know I'm out sometimes I just need to see the BFN.

shamrocandroll · June 2019

@bows22 Yeah, if I don't get my period by 14DPO I'll probably test again with a FRER. But I also get super nervous about it because *TW my last BFP came really late and was faint, and it turned out to be a CP, so I'm kind of torn between peeing on all the things and self-preservation...

@rikiteacup Unfortunately between my AL cycles and my benched cycles where I didn't temp to try and maintain some sanity, I don't really have a good baseline for "usually" with my cycles.

@shoogapoff I feel you so hard on the Schrodinger's cat thing. I wish I had held off, because now I'm just kind of in the "who knows" territory... early, but also not that early.

@kagesstarshroom Yeah, I think I might call about some testing if this next cycle doesn't pan out, because that'll be our 1 year mark.

shamrocandroll · June 2019

@kagesstarshroom Also, yes! It's kind of crazy how synced up we are! And cool we connected on here! But also less cool that we can unfortunately relate in so many frustrating ways.

b_1029 · June 2019

I guess I go here now since I'm officially in the TWW - thanks DH for jump starting my crazy a cycle earlier than expected

Month/Cycle: 20 months (with 2 taken off in there), not sure cycle #

CD/DPO: 14/1-2

Timing: just the day of O pain but wasn't doing anything else to confirm O so...?? No idea

Typical LP length: 14-15

Testing: probs not even though I'm wishing I could be a SS

R/R: rant - neck has been hurting since Friday and it's stressing me out given my medical history. Currently on hold with my neurologist so they can either tell me to chill out or get an MRI or something. Rave - the weather is freaking amazing here right now! So welcome after a weekend of rain. It's like low-mid 70's and sunny and I went for a 2.5 mi walk during my lunch break.

CS/Q: nope

b_1029 · June 2019

@bows22 GL testing tomorrow! Hopefully training the new guy goes relatively well.

@lcking82 hooray for confirmed O! I hope the cramping is a good sign - do you usually get it before AF?

@kagesstarshroom I'm definitely in the "test really late"/never test camp. It has relieved so much stress for me haha. I read your update the other day and I'm so sorry for all the stupid BS you guys are going through. Sending you much strength and good vibes! That is sweet of YH to say he wants to get a SA.

@rikiteacup glad you're getting a break from your boss this week! Going out to eat constantly sounds exhausting.

@shamrocandroll it's still early! sorry you're feeling bad about this cycle. Glad your review went well today!

bows22 · June 2019

@b_1029 yay welcome to the TWW! I hope you are a SS too!

m6agua · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 21 / Not sure

Timing: most likely after O

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Nope, WFAF

R/R: This week is dragging, probably because I am excited for the weekend. I have a bridal shower then a graduation party for my cousins (siblings) and I am excited to see all the family!

CS/Q: Nothing to see.

bows22 · June 2019

@m6agua we had a grad party last weekend and every single aunt, uncle and cousin of DH’s was there. It was so nice to see everyone at once! Have fun this weekend!

bows22 · June 2019

This was my fortune at lunch.... the universe apparently is trying to feed into my BSC (although honestly no matter what the fortune I probably would have found a way to read into it meaning I’m KU)

rikiteacup · June 2019

@mvt2003 this is what was on the menu (leftovers from last night). It was really, really good.

bows22 · June 2019

@shoogapoff I think I missed you?? Glad your house (and you!) are OK. GL tomorrow if you decide to test! GL to you too @rikiteacup!
