Re: TWW Thursday 7/4🇺🇸
Edit - I’m sorry that I’ve been starting the dailies for a couple of days in a row. I always feel like I’m going to miss out if I don’t get my post in early. I’ll try to work on my patience!
Month/Cycle: 7/8
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: EOD
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Who knows
R/R: I ordered a new thermometer on Tuesday and due to the wonder of amazon prime it arrived yesterday. I decided to start temping now to get back into the swing of it. I actually even woke up right at 5 so it’s at my normal time. (But thankfully I got more sleep after). It’s weirdly making me feel better. Happy 4th everyone!
CS/Q: I have a chart now! I looked at my old charts and this is above my normal cover line but is a very low post-O temp for me. I know temps/cover line can vary and that it’s about the temp shift blah blah but my first thought was “implantation dip??” I know that’s in no way a rational thought. So yes, you can be BSC with only 1 temp on your chart.
Month/Cycle: 6/4/2 AL
CD/DPO: 34/10
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Testing: maybe this weekend.
R/R: Had a great family get together yesterday at my parents. Saw some family members I haven’t seen in 3 years, so it was fun to catch up!
Not sure what’s going on with my body right now. I’m crampy and spotting a little, but the spotting is brown. So who knows. And my temp dip is making me think AF may be approaching. 🤷🏼♀️ I ovulated a few days later than normal, so AF isn’t expected until Monday, but normally it would be this Saturday.
I F-ing hate the TWW.
CS/Q: 🤷🏼♀️
@ejoseph16 Here's to hoping that spotting is implantation spotting! Glad you had fun yesterday.
Month/Cycle:
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: ~16 days
Testing: W 7/10, I think I have settled on.
R/R: My dissertation buddy postponed on me yesterday til tomorrow, so I didn't get much done on my own. I used my last remaining dollars to pick up some essentials at the grocery store, picked up free desserts from campus & a book I got thru inter-library loan, and made dinner. I try to give myself credit for the little things. Today, no one really hit us up to see what we were up to, which is sort of pissing me off, but DH invited a friend & her wife over, so we're having a small to-do w/ them, I guess.
CS/Q: If this cycle is a bust, I'm considering stopping temping around now-ish DPO bc my charts have been driving me crazy "looking" good & then being busts.
Month/Cycle: 11/10
CD/DPO: 22/4 (?)
Timing: not great
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: not sure
R/R: yay for relaxing day off! Boo for going back tomorrow
CS/Q: ok- preface this with the fact I’ve been traveling, and work has been crazy nuts the past few weeks. I actually managed to temp and Opk for the past couple of weeks, but only once per day OPKs. They got close to positive around Saturday/Sunday, and are light again now. If I leave all the neg OPKs in FF then no crosshairs. If I take out Opk results, then it gives me dotted. Agree? I’m inclined to, but wish I had done PM OPKs too
Sidebar: I changed my BbT to Celsius last week (somehow accidentally) so have been having to convert to F every morning. 🤦🏼♀️
@ejoseph16 sorry this TWW is messing with your head. My experience with AL cycles has always been a trip. Hopefully the spotting stops *TW*my own pregnancy mentioned*
@kagesstarshroom hope your small get together is a fun one today. That really stinks that you weren’t invited for a bigger celebration. That’s a huge fail family and friends.
I’m with you on the chart thing. I’ve been burned many times by charts that make me hopeful and then turn out to be nothing. I probably have too much curiosity to stop temping though. I also don’t set an alarm I just naturally wake up at temp checking time so if I’m up already I don’t think I’ll resist.

R/R: Going to a big cook out at my MIL’s today and I’m super excited! I feel like I haven’t socialized in a lifetime. And I’m an introvert but even us introverts need some human contact sometime haha. Also excited for the food. Food I haven’t cooked myself always tastes 100x better.
CS/Q: was up very late talking to MH so ended up missing my temp this morning so my chart looks the same as yesterday. Having my usual pre AF TMI symptoms—you don’t want to know lol. CD 25 and my cycles are usually 26 so hopefully tomorrow is the last day of this cycle. But you never know my body has been acting wonky and maybe it will follow up that super short 21 day cycle with a long cycle just to mess with me.

@lcking82 FF has this "game" where you guess O based on charts & I played it yesterday & was... 80% accurate. Twice, I knew the right answer but guessed the wrong one bc it seemed too obvious. Anyway, I think w/out CM/OPKs and even w/ traveling, FF's prediction looks like what I would have guessed w/ out the CHs in there.
@kagesstarshroom enjoy the free dessert! that’s the best kind of dessert. and I see what you mean about stopping temping because your chart does look great.
@lcking82 I agree with FF too, except depending on what your temps do it could maybe be the next day. But I’d say you got either -1 or O in, and you definitely didn’t miss the window altogether so that’s a win!
@silly_goose that’s exactly what I thought about a high temp tomorrow haha. I think obsessing over a chart somehow is a distraction? I don’t know if that makes sense but I’ll take it. I hope you and your H had a good talk!
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 19/ Either 7 or 9...FF and I can't agree
Timing: Excellent either way
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Maybe next Tuesday?
R/R: We went to a concert last night, which was super fun. Today I slept in a lot and have 0 plans, which is fine by me.
Also, I'm just feeling like this cycle is a bust. No rational reason, but the fact that FF thinks I O'd super early is frustrating. Also, our RE appointment is in exactly 1 week, which was supposed to be my CD 1 originally.
CS/Q: I'll just put this here for any insight into which day seems to be my most- likely O day....
@ejoseph16 Im glad you had fun at your family get- together! And I agree about hating the TWW! Its such a mind f***.
@kagesstarshroom We didn't get invited to do anything either. Similar situation. No family lives nearby. I'm fine with the low-key day, though. Glad you're making your own fun!
