Re: TWW Friday 7/5
@bows22 Sorry you couldn't get back to sleep, that's the worst! I'm glad you were able to see fireworks from your deck! It was super hot here, too, but then a thunderstorm pulled thru--it didn't even rain--and it was nice the rest of the night. We got lucky!
Month/Cycle: 9/5AL
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: super great
Typical LP length: ~16 days
Testing: Next W or Th? Probably W...
R/R: Big $ rant...
As for good stuff, we had MH's friend & her wife over yesterday, hung out, ate some grilled food, & then watched the first ep. of Stranger Things. Then they left & MH & I walked down & watched the modest fireworks display our town set off, which I enjoyed. In the moments during those explosions, everything seemed like it would be okay, you know? Like, I felt good. But...well, see above rant.
CS/Q: I officially can't help but have my hopes up now bc this chart looks so good--even though my prev. few charts looked good, too. Blargh.
@kagesstarshroom I have been there with the finances thing, and having to watch MH not get paid what he's worth. It's so hard, and definitely caused similar dynamics between us. I don't have any advice, but just know that I can relate. I'm glad you're still moving forward with TTC. MH actually lost his job literally the week after we finally agreed to officially start trying, and I thought it was all going to come crashing down. But our time is precious, and even if we (royal "we") get pregnant right away, there are still 9 months to get things sorted out.
@bows22 I slept terribly last night too. The heat combined with the fact that I slept in a little yesterday just did not do me any favors. I'm exhausted at work today, but at least I have the weekend to recover!
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 20/8 or 10
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Shooting for Tuesday
R/R: We don't have anything going on this weekend. I've been slowly making a new friend at work (I'm kind of terrible at making friends). I wanted to see if she wanted to hang out this weekend. (We have a tentative future hang-out with both of our husbands and another couple from work, but that's a month away.) I talked to her this morning, but chickened out on asking if she wanted to do something together, just the two of us. MH is the master of making friends, so all of our mutual friends stem from relationships he brought in. I always feel awkward initiating friend things. You'd think by the age of 35 I'd be over awkwardness!
CS/Q: I had a temp drop today, which, if I'm 8 DPO like *I* think, could be an implantation dip? Or else my temp is just all over the place, a per usual.
*Edited b/c i'm too tired to remember the difference between CD and DPO
Month/Cycle: 14th month... maybe 5th cycle actually?
CD/DPO: 32/11ish
Timing: EOD basically
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: I just tested today and got a BFN so I have no accepted it wasn't it this month.
R/R: I had thought it'd be cool to say we conceived a baby while in Europe... but instead I'll be getting mentally prepared for my hysteroscopy and the IVF discussion with the doctor this month!
My Rave is that the model that's been a pain in my a$$ finally did what I wanted today and I can now move forward with my project! And I think that sounds like a model as a person... but I'm referring to a CAD model of a casting that my company makes haha
CS/Q: nah.
@bows22 hopefully being at the lake house is a little bit of a distraction!
@kagesstarshroom sorry about all the financial stressers! I hope that you ugys get a budget figured out that works for your life!
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -3 to O
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Monday (10 dpo)
R/R: 4th was amazing! Still waiting to hear back about job interview. Hoping this weekend flies by!
CS/Q: nope.
@shoogapoff I hate it when those dips happen! Makes you anxious lol. I had one yesterday at 6 dpo which is too early for it to mean anything, but made me think is this bad? Lol

@mokay19 Sorry for the BFN =/ I know what you mean about having hope certain cycles bc it would be cool that you conceived in a certain situation, for sure.
@kmornelas29 FX for you w/ the job interview. Hope you hear back good news soon.
@bows22 I'm sorry you're in that too early test but late enough for some maybe symptoms phase. It's a mind trip! Glad you had a nice 4th.
@kagesstarshroom wow honestly I think you're handling all that money stress like a champ. This is the kind of stuff that wears down marriages. I hope easier times are ahead for you guys. Glad you will be bringing in money soon too and I really hope the friend commits to the roommate gig very soon. Enjoy that bubble tea girl! You deserve it. Where is your chart? Not showing for me.
@shoogapoff I'm so terrible at making friends too. I actually haven't made any friends in years despite being in desperate need haha. All the friends I've got are all old HS and college friends who I basically never get to see anymore. I hope this one ends up working out for you and that you'll work up the courage to ask for a girl date
@mokay glad that inanimate model did what you needed it to do lol. There's still a chance for this cycle but hey working with your doctor can only mean increasing your chances so it's still something to look forward to if this doesn't work out.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4,-2,-1
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Yesterday was a great day. The food was so good I came home with a belly ache. Set off our own fireworks and it was a ton of fun to see family. Things are a little bit weird with MH. I think we're ok but we're definitely working through something still. I'm looking forward to things getting back to normal soon. Weirdly though it's been the best time we've had in the bedroom in quite a while IFYKWIM. Weird how sometimes having tension sometimes improves that department.
CS/Q: Didn't take my temp again this morning. But it's CD 26 so I'm hoping AF will come tomorrow but have this feeling it going to keep me waiting. Maybe it's better until me and MH get into a better place anyway for FW.

@shoogapoff I haven’t made a new friend in probably....more than ten years? So clearly I’m bad at it too BUT I think you would be in the clear to ask her to hang out.
@mokay19 I’m sorry for the BFN. And yes when I was reading your post and saw models I was like wow what is her job?!? So even though it’s not as glamorous I’m glad you can move to the next step of your project!
@silly_goose I’m glad to hear that you & your H are making progress. And that there is a silver lining 😉. I can’t remember if you have tested yet or not but I’m probably going to go creep on old TWW posts to see!
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -3 to O
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: tomorrow!
R/R: it’s been really nice having my parents move into our guest house, but I’m also really excited to have them go back to work tomorrow, so I can have the backyard to myself for the day! We just developed a routine since moving, and we just need to find our new groove again while everyone adjusts. We also had a garage sale this weekend and made some extra money, so I’m pretty happy about that! It’s hard keeping the cash flow going in the summer for two teachers!
CS/Q: Keeping an eye out for all my POAS party ladies tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I’m secretly anxious to test tomorrow, because the let down can be so heart wrenching if it’s not what you want to see.
Oops, posted to wrong day!
