*Gulps coffee* Good morning, everyone!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 24/9ish

Timing: -3, -1, 1 (guestimate since I don't temp)

Typical LP length: 12-14ish

Testing: maybe tomorrow

R/R: I was up at 4 today, but this coffee is doing a good job of perking me up. I am going to try 4 mph on the treadmill again. This will be ~3rd time I have run on the treadmill in 2.5-3 years. It feels good!

I shared this already, but sharing it again for you all here. The 8 Stages of the TWW:

varimama · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 glad you’re enjoying the treadmill again! Also that link is hilariously accurate!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/2

Timing: -4,-2,-1,O

Typical LP length: ~12

Testing: July 2nd (10dpo)

R/R: Sorry I ended up ghosting Friday and all weekend! The drive and wedding were way busier than I was expecting! It all went well though! A couple short bursts of rain before the ceremony scared us a little but the sun came out and the fresh rain made it all the more beautiful! Now I’m exhausted and trying to catch up on sleep and get the house back in order! 😴

DH was able to rally up his troops after the wedding after all 😉 would have maybe liked a +1 but we were both too tired once we got home so just going to be happy with our timing and maybe HIO tonight one more time just in case I was off on ovulation since I’m not temping

CS/Q: none

Edited bc I had my CD wrong

bobbyflies2020 · June 2019

@varimama Your timing looks great! Did you use OPK's this cycle?

varimama · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 yes I used Clearblue Advanced and got high reading Thursday and Peak Friday morning! So I think it’s pretty accurate but no way to know for sure without temping

zaslawlz · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 Lolol “It’s way too early to get a positive response, but that one woman on the 2ww message board from 2011 got her first positive pregnancy test eight days into the wait, so if you’re pregnant, you will too.” felt this one- having 8 and 9 DPO during the weekend leaves so much time for lurking old message boards

@varimama glad the wedding HIO worked!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 32/10

Timing: good

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: BFN

R/R: I’m supposed to have a certification exam this week. I finished all the material last week and have just been sitting at my desk waiting for a test date. The licensing team dropped the ball and they’ve said three times now I should have a test date by EOD. Good news is I just kinda chill at my desk but i do wish they’d just let me go home and review/chill.

CS/Q: no question, I just always enjoy looking at other peoples’ charts

jennifer_louise · June 2019

@varimama to echo others, your timing looks excellent!! I'm glad the wedding went well.

@zaslawlz sorry about the BFN, but 10dpo is still pretty early. And yeah, isn't looking at charts fun? Sometimes that's my big reason for coming into TWW.

@bobbyflies2020 yay for workout time!! I'm so glad you've stayed with it.

Month/cycle: 12/14

CD/DPO: 23/9dpo

Timing: a failed SMEP, but still an attempt

Typical LP length: 10-11. I did read a bit about if Clomid can impact your LP length and it seems like (from the very small-sized, 1969 study I found) it could, but not perhaps not on my first treatment cycle.

Testing: never!!

R/R: I'm weirdly excited for this week at work. A lot of my coworkers are out on vacay so hopefully I will get a lot done. Also, one of my favorite summer holidays (bike to work day) is this week too!

CS/Q:

flowntheloop · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/ 7-8(?)

Timing: -5,-3, -1,0,2 (Not really tracking, so timing and DPO are just an estimate)

Typical LP length: ~15 days

Testing: Don't plan on testing until I miss a period.

R/R:
Rant: So exhausted after all of the work/cleanup at the old place. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm ready to be finished.

Rave: My eldest niece and I have already started making July 4th plans, and it looks like she and her family will be visiting us at our new place! I'm usually not much of a holiday person, but it isn't very often that we all have a day off together! We also live around 2 hours apart now, so I will take any time I can get with them! I plan on taking them blueberry picking and then swimming at the lake! We may also go get BBQ at one of the local hangouts.

CS/Q: n/a

Will tag later. Need tea.

varimama · June 2019

@zaslawlz sorry about the BFN but it’s still early! Hope you get your test date soon!

@jennifer_louise hope your week is great at work, and you have fun biking to work!

@flowntheloop your 4th of July plans sound great! I guess I need to get going on some plans myself!

emeraldduchess · June 2019

Good morning, ladies! Anyone else have issues getting on TTGP this morning? I couldn't connect for over an hour. 🙄

Month/Cycle: 11/10(5th cycle AL)

CD/DPO: 21/6 ot 7

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Nah, we're good

R/R: DH is at school today helping with interviews, so I have the house to myself until late afternoon. 😁😁😁 I finished one knitting project yesterday, now two more to finish before I will let myself start another one.

CS/Q: Temp dip this AM, but that tends to happen around day 6 or 7 (not usually this big though). I am not SS so that's cut down on the crazy.

Edit: forgot spoiler!

EmilyLove25 · June 2019

Happy Monday, TWW ladies!

Month/Cycle: 6/3/1 AL

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -4, -2, O

Typical LP length: 9-10 days, so super short!

Testing: Lol. I don’t even want to think about that.

R/R: RAVE—I’m off work Friday and next week is a holiday week! RANT/RAVE—I haven’t been in the TWW for a long time. Curious to see how crazy I will be. But RAVE again... I'm just happy to be here **TW** After the loss, I felt like I had zero control over my body, and I'm just happy to be in the TWW again and have some normalcy.

CS/Q: Someday I’ll be able to get the chart in here haha.

@bobbyflies2020 Yay for another treadmill run! Sounds lovely!

@varimama I think your timing looks great!

@jenniferlouise I can never do SMEP timing right!

@flowntheloop Those seriously sound like lovely July 4th plans! It’s nice too to have something to look forward to doing next week!

@emeraldduchess I didn’t have any issues getting on but didn’t try until around 8:45! Yay for a relaxing morning alone!

emeraldduchess · June 2019

@flowntheloop your 4th of July plans sound lovely! I hope everything works out well.

@jennifer_louise I hear you on being excited about a chill week at work. I love Fridays after the school day is over and most of my coworkers have left. I put on some calming music, write my lesson plans, and make all my copies for the week ahead. I didn't know that there was a "bike to work day"!

@zaslawlz I hope they give you the test date by EOD like they promised. That's frustrating, especially when you feel like you could be spending your time studying.

@varimama glad you had a nice time at the wedding and that your DH was able to rally.

@bobbyflies2020 yeesh, 4 am? Thank goodness for caffeine! Hope you have a great workout later!

emeraldduchess · June 2019

@EmilyLove25 yay for short work-weeks!!

mrsvp614 · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 21/4 (maybe 21/2, see charts)

Timing: Good?

Typical LP length: 8-12

Testing: not thinking about that yet

R/R: just Monday blah over here. I’m working a different shift and I’m super tired.

CS/Q: my Premom chart seems more accurate than FF, based on my OPKs. Any thoughts?

mrsvp614 · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 That article is so accurate.
@varimama glad the wedding went well and you got good timing!
@EmilyLove25 Welcome back to TWW and yay for time off!

ejoseph16 · June 2019

*lurking*

@bobbyflies2020 that article is so accurate! Lol

kpearse99 · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 8 / 6 (AL)

CD/DPO: 35 / 15

Timing: Felt good about the timing

Typical LP length: I don't know anymore!

Testing: UGH! I'm 4 days late but got a BFN on Friday and yesterday. I really don't know what's going on and just want AF to arrive because I'm really anxious to dive into testing with my RE. I was so calm and stress-free this cycle too!

R/R: I've been so moody this weekend, I apologized to MH this morning for it. Thankfully he's super supportive and understanding and knows it was nothing geared towards him. Also, I really don't want to be at work today... just in a bad funk this morning. Good news though, just found out my company is going to start allowing tele-commuting! So soon I'll be able to work from one one or two days a week!

CS/Q:

**Coming back with tags!**

kpearse99 · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 yes for the treadmill!!! You should be so proud of yourself!

@varimama so glad you had a wonderful weekend! Here's hoping you get the rest you need now!

@zaslawlz glad you found the motivation to study! Good luck and hopefully you don't have to wait much longer to actually take it!

@flowntheloop those plans sound right up my alley!! I love fruit picking and swimming at the lake sounds so wonderful!

@emeraldduchess enjoy your alone time this morning! I'm so jealous!!

mercury94 · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: pretty good

Typical LP length: No idea

Testing: Talked myself out of testing this morning because the box for my tests said it was 58% accurate 4 days before missed period. Will probably test on Wednesday, so I can have either the best birthday gift ever or a strong birthday margarita.

R/R: I feel terrible and it’s making me all sorts of BSC. Not sure I can make it through the work day. Really worried about my extra long work day tomorrow. Bright side: because I don’t feel good, I have so far managed to avoid the donuts someone brought to work this morning. I’m sure I’ll cave later, but small victory.

CS/Q: Not really

mercury94 · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 Hope your coffee keeps working. That link is so accurate. I hate that I’m so predictable.

@varimama Glad the wedding went well and that it didn’t kill your timing.

@zaslawlz Sorry about the BFN. Hope you get your testing info soon or maybe a day off.

@jennifer_louise Enjoy the quiet work week. It is always nice to have a chance to catch up on things.

@flowntheloop Those sound like nice holiday plans. Still pretty low key.

@emeraldduchess Have a great day at home. I hope you can make good progress on your projects.

@EmilyLove25 I get you on the TWW. As much as it sucks, it is nice to feel like your body is doing what it’s supposed to.

@MrsVP614 I’m no chart expert, but it does seem odd for the OPKs to not line up right.

@kpearse99 So sorry about the BFN. Hope the RE is able to help you make sense of this cycle. Maybe it’s just a long LP.

bobbyflies2020 · June 2019

@zaslawlz I hope they give you a test date soon. Good job studying!

@flowntheloop That is really sweet of you to plan a special day. The bond between Aunt and niece is a really special one.

@kpearse99 Oh no, sorry about the BFN's and WFAF. FX AF comes soon. Yay for testing at the RE! I am also starting testing next cycle too and similarly anxious to start!

@EmilyLove25 Sorry your body was in limbo for so long

Yay for getting your TWW back!

@emeraldduchess yay for cozy knitting time. One of my teachers posted a meme coining the term Vacayhaze: the first week of vacation after youve sleeped in and you're not sure which day it is in the week. Made me giggle!

zaslawlz · June 2019

@mercury94 lol good for you. I read the probability this morning and instead decided I should waste a FRER because it was slightly more sensitive than my cheapies. Happy early birthday!!

@kpearse99 sorry about your BFN, hopefully the RE will help if its not a late BFP this cycle

@MrsVP614 I agree with you on the premom chart

varimama · June 2019

@MrsVP614 I’m not an expert but I kind of agree with FF. You might have caught your LH surge right after ovulating bc your temps seem to line up better with that imo.

@kpearse99 that’s awesome you can start telecommuting! Glad YH is supportive and I hope you’re out of your funk soon!

@mercury94 I hope you’re feeling bad for good reasons! You have so much restraint!

mercury94 · June 2019

@varimama I don’t think it’s restraint so much as fear of the BFN, but thanks.

stassischroeder · June 2019

FFMC: I'm a horrible weekend bumper. I'll sometimes read through and love-tit but, replying via mobile ends up being a jumbled pile of nonsense.

But, I go here now.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/2 or 3

Timing: -3, -1, 0 or -4, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 10-14 days (*TW* yay wonky PP cycles. A couple years ago my LPs were always 9-10 days, but seem to be lengthening a bit, thank god. *endTW*)

Testing: maybe 11-12 DPO if I'm feeling squirly.

R/R: I think my posts in Randoms qualifies as enough r/r for the next year or so lol. And our drunken BD around O makes me worry that I pickled my egg in wine. Although I'm already SS even though that's not a thing at 3 DPO *facepalm*

CS/Q: I'm a temping failure this cycle, and I'm not sure why FF is saying that I O'd the day after my first +OPK even thought I got another +OPK the next day... you'd think it would say the day after my last positive. Either way, any uncertainty is my own fault for not temping well enough.

________________________

@bobbyflies2020 way to go with your runs! And that link is gold.

@varimama I'm not a good weekend bumper either. I'm glad the wedding went well and that YH was able to rally for even better timing!

@zaslawlz sorry for the BFN, hopefully it's a different story tomorrow. And, at least you can bump while chilling at your desk? But I'm sure being in testing limbo is super frustrating!

@jennifer_louise are you doing any progesterone? That's the only thing that I know of that will absolutely affect LP. Glad you have a good week ahead of you! I love when a lot of coworkers are out.

@flowntheloop I'm not much of a holiday person, either, but family time is always good! I hope it all comes together!

@emeraldduchess having the house to yourself can be so awesome! Enjoy!

@emilylove25 I can relate to short LPs. Its makes it feel like you're always WTO. Have you mentioned your short LPs to your OB?

@MrsVP614 at least you got good timing for either chart!

@kpearse99 ugh, what a mindf*ck! I'm sorry for the weirdly long LP, and I hope AF arrives soon so that you can get going with testing. Well, really I hope you get a BFP tomorrow, but 2nd choice is AF and testing.

@mercury94 I'm just over here SS on your behalf lol. And I need to remember that 54% stat so that I leave the Wondfo HPTs alone ... it's so easy to use them early when they're cheap.

mvt2003 · June 2019

Lurking from WTO - @emeraldduchess I'm a knitter too! What are you working on? I currently have 2 knitting projects, and 1 crochet project!

jennifer_louise · June 2019

@emeraldduchess Oooh so jealous of your knitting day today!! Remind me again why I have to work all summer?? (lol jk, I respect you teachers so much, and I totally get why you should have the summer off!!)

@kpearse99 I'm soo sorry about your confusing cycle.

sometimes our bodies suck!! I really hope you can move on quickly.

@mercury94 hope you can't enjoy a margarita on Weds! 😉

@MrsVP614 I'm as flummoxed as you as to when you O'd! At least your timing looks great either way.

@stassischroeder Omg to your eventful stay with family. But I'm glad you got your HIO in regardless. As for my progesterone - my 7DPO test came back normal, and my OB did not seem concerned about my kinda short LP. Although, she is obviously not an RE. But also **TW PP in spoiler**

Like you, my LP was even shorter before I had my daughter (9 days on average). But I got KU right away with her, and now that my LP has somewhat lengthened, I've had no luck! I'll get referred to an actual RE in a couple months, though, and maybe the RE will feel differently. LPs are a total mystery to me!

stassischroeder · June 2019

@jennifer_louise YGPM

kpearse99 · June 2019

@stassischroeder man a BFP tomorrow would be a wonderful and shocking surprise! haha But it's a beautiful thought!

@zaslawlz and @mercury94 I just called the RE and they want to do b/w to see where I am in my cycle. So it's nice to know that I'll have an answer soon, at least!

flowntheloop · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 Glad the coffee is keeping you going. Tea and hot cacao are not cutting it for me at the moment. I'm pretty sure I'm always this exhausted at this point in my cycle? Good luck on the treadmill! I hate those things! I've been hiking the steep ridges on our driveway, and it is kicking my butt!

As for the time with my niece, I really look forward to it. She is a great kid (well, technically young woman), and I'm so proud of her! I also get to see my great nephew. *TW [spoiler]A bit difficult because he is 4.5 months old..a reminder that I started SO late in TTGP. Despite the bittersweet emotions, I can't wait to snuggle him![/spoiler]

@varimama I'm hoping they work out for me. I think AF is supposed to be here around that time, so that might ruin my swimming/energy levels a bit.

@kpearse99 Crossing fingers you will just be one of the ladies that is just testing positive a little later! *hugs* I hope your mood improves soon!

@mercury94 Happy early birthday! I hope you get your birthday BFP! And, yes, all my plans are lowkey! No big crowds. No fireworks. No drama.

@stassischroeder LOL. I think we ALL start SSing around that time in our cycles!

How is it possible NOT to?

sevenn · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 20/9

Timing: -2, +1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: BFN this AM. so mad at myself for wasting a test!

R/R: tough work day today- seems like that is the case for several of us! hugs all around and hope that the shift ends swiftly.

CS/Q: nada

EmilyLove25 · June 2019

Wow wow! TWW is jumping today

@kpearse99 So sorry about the confusing cycle. I hate trying to figure out my body, and your situation has to be confusing. I am glad they are pulling you in to do blood work! But OMG YAY for the telecommuting. I would LOVE that so so so much.

@mercury94 Hoping you get the best birthday present ever!!!!

@MrsVP614 Hmm that’s a tough one. I see the open circles on FF. Did you take it at a different time? Either way, your timing is good!

@stassishroeder Running over to randoms to read, but since I’m insane and type A, I mentioned it to my OB. She is not concerned since ***TW*** I’ve had two successful pregnancies. Now that I’m AMA, who knows… I took Vitamin B because I read it makes LPs longer, so I’m basically a doctor now. Also please share the SS you are doing already. I’d love to be irrationally insane but have nothing to latch onto. My body is doing nothing. Not a twinge, a cramp, a headache, a fart. Nothing.

@sevenn If it makes you feel better, I’ll almost certainly be wasting a test on 9 DPO as well!

stassischroeder · June 2019

@EmilyLove25 LOL at "basically a doctor now"

Has your LP always been this short? The only SS I'm doing is being sure that I'm KU because of increased thirst. *TW in spoiler TW*

I had significant increased thirst with my first pregnancy, but that wasn't until 14ish DPO.... so noticing it at 2-3 DPO is pure lunacy. I had zero symptoms before my +HPT at 10 or 11 DPO.

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · June 2019

@bobbyflies2020 YEP to that link. 4DPO and I'm going through all of those simultaneously.
@zaslawlz sorry for the BFN.

@stassischroeder I feel the same way about weekend bumping. For some reason it's harder for me to keep up!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Probably Sunday on 10 DPO

R/R: This weekend was so busy, but so lovely! It was nice to have some uninterrupted family time. DH and I also got matching tattoos for our 5th wedding anniversary.

CS/Q: all good right now

stacey6689 · June 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 21/6 (DPO estimate)

Timing: Good (I don't chart just track my cycles using an app and checking my CF)

Typical LP length: No Idea

Testing: Probably on Saturday (11 DPO)

R/R: First time participating on the thread and I am so excited. Best part of my Monday for sure. I am hoping to jump back into my workout routine after a hiatus due to pure laziness, so I have my gym bag with me at work today so I can go straight to barre. I hope you all are enjoying the rest of your day!

CS/Q: N/A

stacey6689 · June 2019

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese Happy Anniversary!!!

kpearse99 · June 2019

@EmilyLove25 it really is so frustrating!! I have never had a regular period up until 8 months ago when my body regulated itself after having the IUD removed. I could skip a month or two or have my period twice in one month... it was so unpredictable. And then suddenly, I had a regular everyday 30 day cycle and it was like MAGIC! And now... I feel like I'm back to square one of not knowing anything that my body is doing. So it will be helpful to get the results tomorrow afternoon (I believe we get them same day from the RE) to know what is really going on.

bobbyflies2020 · June 2019

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese Happy Anniversary! Sounds like a fun way to commemorate it.

@stacey6689 Welcome and hope you aren't here for long

@stassischroeder Definitely going over to randoms now to read your post, haha. My main symptom ATM is acne, which *I think* is a symptom of PMS not pregnancy. Which makes me Stage 3: Ugh, Just Dont Think I Am Pregnant 👍

varimama · June 2019

@stassischroeder I may have pickled my egg too at the rehearsal dinner and wedding 🤣 DH was like uhh should you be drinking? So I had to explain to him how implantation works and takes 6-12 days

@emeraldduchess yea I had trouble for about an hour getting on thebump too. Said servers were down. That’s so cool you knit! I can crochet but always wanted to learn to knit too

@sevenn sorry for the BFN and tough work day!

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese happy anniversary! What are the tattoos of?

@stacey6689 welcome! Good luck getting back to working out! The first few days are always the hardest

emeraldduchess · June 2019

@kpearse99 I'm so sorry for the BFN, especially with AF taking her time arriving.

@MrsVP614 hope you can beat the Monday blahs and get some rest soon. Sorry I am no help with either chart, I've never seen Premom before.

@mercury94 way to stay strong and not test! I'm sorry you're still feeling lousy. FX you get the best birthday present ever.

@bobbyflies2020 I am definitely in the vacayhaze!

@stassischroeder LOL at the "pickled egg" comment.

@mvt2003 I am working on a few things right now. I am not too advanced, so I am basically just scarves, hats and blankets. *TW*

Right now I have a crazy number of friends and relatives who are KU or have newborns, so I have a few baby blankets going to give as gifts. I think I have knit 10 since Christmas!

@sevenn I am sorry for the BFN and that you're having a tough work day.

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese happy fifth anniversary! Glad you had such a lovely weekend.

@stacey6689 welcome! Hope you can make it to barre after work. I need to find a class like that around here.

@varimama I actually learned how to knit through youtube videos! It's probably one of the best things I ever did for myself. It's very relaxing (except when I mess up and have to undo things) and a useful hobby around the holidays.

Edit: phrasing, wasn't done

mrsvp614 · June 2019

@EmilyLove25 I always get open circles on weekends, because I refuse to wake up at 1am to temp like I have to through the week. That’s why FF is tricky, since the temp spike would’ve come from both O and a full night’s sleep.
