Re: TWW Monday 7/8
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: EOD
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: I think Wed when AF is due
R/R: I was SS pretty good yesterday but this morning I just feel normal PMS signs. I have a ton to do at work so just going to try to focus on that for now.
CS/Q: not putting too much stock in this since it’s not a real chart but definitely made it easy to hold off on testing
Month/Cycle: 6/3/1 AL
CD/DPO: 28/13
Timing: great -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: BFN at 10 dpo, I will pick some up and test again tomorrow if no sign of AF today
R/R: I'm leaving for FL in 6 days now, so im anxious for AF to get the show on the road so it will be gone before a week of beach and swimming. If I am KU (which I really dont think I am given the 10 dpo BFN), it will be impossible to hide it from the in laws for a week...
It's my first week and my new office location and a 4 day week! I'm excited to get through it and have a week of vacation! If anyone is in or around the Naples, FL area or has been there let me know any must do activities. We dont have much planned, but I also dont mind a relaxing beach vacation.
CS/Q: just OPKs, if AF doesnt come soon I'm starting to doubt if it was right...

Testing: Probably next Sunday. Anyone wanna pee party with me since the last one worked out so well? @puppylove8910 I'm looking at you, even though I don't wanna pressure anyone to test before 10 DPO.
R/R: We had overnight guests every night last week, but still managed to get in some good ninja HIO every night except for O night. We were up late watching fireworks, and MH probably had a few too many, so I finished brushing my teeth and he was already asleep. Ah well. Feeling cautiously optimistic, even though O was really late this cycle!

@bows22 Sorry you're feeling pessimistic, but hopefully you're wrong!
@puppylove8910 I thought about not temping for the rest of this cycle too in hopes it helps to quell the BSC, but I get up at 5am for my walks during the week anyway, so it's not that much more work. I suppose we'll see...

@bows22 I also use my temps as indicators of whether it's worth testing earlier than I should/have intended to.
@shamrocandroll I have that trouble when I click on notifications on the desktop--it takes me to my homepage and then I have to click NOTIFICATIONS from the list on the side. TB is REALLLLY cranky, or has been for like a week+ now, and takes forever to load pages and if you don't wait for them to load, it won't let you do something/sends you to a weird place. I thought this was just my internet at first but, um, prolli not since others have complained about similar issues I've seen? Anyway, when it sends you to your general homepage, is there a link to your inbox there? I feel like you should be able to click that. I'm double checking this on my laptop though, so this might not work for mobile, but i was having the same probs I see here on mobile since... The Bugs Began. //// ANYWAY, your timing looks good even w/ missing O day! Good to see you here on the other side.
@millpe Yay 4-day week!
@puppylove8910 A dash of hope with a good dash of realism are the best ways to enter the TWW.
Month/Cycle: 10/5AL
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: (-6) -4, -2, -1, O, (+2) parentheses for the ones that don't really matttterrr.
Typical LP length: ~16 days
Testing: Wed.
R/R: I've had three people contact me about possible copyediting/developmental editing work they have for me, all of which I followed up with and all of whom were from people I know, and no one has been in touch since their initial offer. C'monnnn, people! Also, DH & I have watched 5 episodes of Stranger Things--but now he is afraid it will give him nightmares, and now I'm afraid he isn't going to want to watch it with me!My rave is that I made a beautiful fig tart and started a new baking/crafting/etc. thread so I could post it. I am still wondering if we should make that a monthly thread/what? The reason I didn't resurrect the old one was bc we've had so many grads & I didn't want newbies to be confused & tag them about things from like March?
CS/Q: Temps are just hangin' out together up there.

R/R: I am dying today at work. I didn't even do anything this weekend but couldn't fall asleep last night. Also, other than picking up some stuff in our room, I didn't clean at all...stupid me. On the plus side I am drinking my double cup of coffee and hoping to come alive soon.
CS/Q: just hoping for CH's soon. my temp doesn't seem to have gone up too much but there's at least a little shift.
Eta chart
@millpe ugh vacation AF is the worst. Hopefully she either shows quickly or you get a BFP! I hope your week flies by!
@puppylove8910 I hope this is your cycle!
@kagesstarshroom your chart is looking great- I hope you / we get good news on Wednesday! That’s so annoying that people are ghosting you! How is the new season? We haven’t started yet, but I’m excited to whenever that happens. I think a monthly thread is good??
@shamrocandroll welcome back!! When you say next Sunday, do you mean the 14th or the 21st? Good job on the ninja HIO! I just click on inbox at the top of the page on mobile

@kagesstarshroom that is a serious chart! My H doesn’t like to watch stranger things either for the same reason so I don’t think we even finished the first season
@b_1029 I don’t think I have come totally alive yet, maybe I need more caffeine. I had ovulation pain too so it looks like we are both relying on our b*tchy ovaries this cycle!
@bows22 I feel like I can do scary/violent when it's clearly... not our reality? And DH is usually the same, but I just-- don't think he likes the violence, despite it being v. Out of This World? I hope he wants to do more episodes OR just tells me I can watch it on my own time. We finished everything else we were streaming, soooo. But It's ANW night tonight!
@b_1029 RE: Stranger Things The new season is good but scary! I don't love horror, but there are exceptions--and ST is just so Out of This World it's more like scary-at-times sci-fi. My BFF over text was like "K, ST is NOT scary," and I was like "SOMETIMES IT IS." Maybe this season is slightly more scary than others? I feel like it is? Someone else who has watched any of the episodes should weigh in though haha. Thanks for your well wishes re: my, speaking of scary, scary good-looking chart. I've had so many good ones lately, but this is the best-looking by far. BIG OL SIGH. ::looks at watch:: Is it Wednesday yet?! Also, have you come alive yet? ALSO, I do believe you should get your CHs soon!

@b_1029 FX for CH soon! Also, I wish there were a way to see your notifications on mobile. Sometimes I miss places where people have tagged me when I mobile bump.
@kagesstarshroom That chart looks so good! Also, I need that recipe for the fig tarte!
@millpe 10 DPO is definitely still early. FX for you!
@bows22 Hoping this is your month too!
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 23/11 or 13
Timing: A+
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: tomorrow
R/R: I'm not feeling it this cycle. I think it's because our RE appointment is Thursday. Im testing tomorrow, but not expecting anything.
Also, our game night with my new friend was so fun on Saturday! It's exciting to actually have a real- life friend. Plus DH and her husband got along super-well.
CS/Q: Nope.

Month/Cycle: 10/12
CD/DPO: 26/8 (?)
Timing: not the best
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: I'm really not even sure I O'ed, so I'm gonna sit tight before testing.
R/R: Just, MONDAY. Ugh. And everyone else at work seems to be in a Monday-mood too. I usually like to make it in early on Monday morning, to get myself some alone-time to ease into working. But I was running late and got bombarded with questions as soon as I walked in...no bueno.
CS/Q: So I was starting to believe that I O'ed but just missed by OPK spike. But now, my temp this morning plummeted, and I'm thinking maybe I didn't O? I did sleep in our guest bed overnight (I was hot, and an insomniac), and had a fan blowing on me all night, so I guess that could have affected. Either way, my hopes for this cycle are not high.
Your chart is looking gorgeous @kagesstarshroom!! Hoping this is your cycle!
Ugh, starting Monday off with little sleep is the worst. I hope you can make it through the day and get to bed early tonight @b_1029!
Good luck testing tomorrow @shoogapoff !! Will @bows22 be joining you? FX ladies!!!
Hmmm...@lcking82 Your chart confuses me too. It looks like you possibly O'd, but maybe you're having an exceptionally short LP. Has this ever happened to you before? Or maybe last night's fan caused this fluke of a temp! I think you'll have a better idea tomorrow as to what is going on.

@shoogapoff GL tomorrow! I get "not feeling it," though, but I hope your instinct is wrong! I basically used this recipe, but fresh squeeze orange juice instead of lemon (only bc I didn't have any!) and topped it w/ the figs. I think I am going to add more figs to it when I have a slice tonight bc the orange and rosemary flavors are both so strong--DH didn't care though, he was like "stop talking about how you could make it better--it's delicious."
@puppylove8910 Thankssss.
@lcking82 I'm w/ what puppylove said above--it REALLY could be the fan. I find that switching out AC temps and/or turning the AC on/off at certain points in the night affects my temps, for sure. But it could be a short LP? OR a serious implantation dip?
ETA: forgot link

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/10 (I think)
Timing: I think we did well.
Typical LP length: No clue. Just figuring my body out and watching for patterns. I do normally have long cycles 30-33 days
Testing: bfn this morning. 10 day po I think. If no AF next week I'll test again but I think I'm out.
R/R: Eh. This is all stressful. I wish we were having more fun with it. I almost just want to take next months 'off' just to enjoy sex again. It feels a bit like a job when you 'know' its O time.
ETA I also put the time I actually temped and what it was in my note. I wake up for the gym @ 5:30 most weekdays and I am just not willing to wake up just to get my temp that early on the weekends or my days off...oops
@lcking82 I’m so curious to see what your temp does tomorrow! I hope it was just the fan.
Month/Cycle: Jan 2018- I've lost count
CD/DPO: Three DPO, CD 19
Timing: Probably terrible. We were on vacation to disney world, and between all the traveling, and the upset we didn't have our own bed most of the window, so no go
Typical LP length: Just getting back to tracking, and things were wonky for awhile.
Testing: After the 20th.
R/R: Rave - I'm oooooffffff theeee beeeeeench Rant - It was a monday. After Vacation. So much nope.
CS/Q: what apps do you all use?
@simplejane the mobile app has been killing me lately. I had to charge my laptop.
@kagesstarshroom My husband has been really into stranger things, I just can't get into it!
