Re: TWW Thursday 7/11
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 27/not sure
Timing: EOD
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Let myself run out of tests, but reinforcements are en route.
R/R: I still feel like AF is coming any second but nothing yet. Who knows. I was at an event yesterday for a group of companies in an industry that our firm specializes in, and there was a company there that is looking for a new auditor but isn’t considering us because we are a “small firm.” Except that we aren’t. I told him if he met with our audit partner (we’ll call him Jack) he would probably be surprised with how much we can offer and he said okay, but that he has seen Jack at plenty of events and that Jack has never spoken to him. Ouch haha. Anyway the whole interaction bothered me more than it should have (and is still bothering me) and it makes me feel like I was PMSy yesterday and that means usually AF the next day. We will see. (Edit for missing word)
CS/Q: I mean this chart means nothing but I like sharing it haha
ETA my stuff, oops
Month/Cycle: 21/22
CD/DPO: 18/5 ish
Timing: 👍🏼
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: probably the 22nd, the day AF is due. If I’m feeling really crazy, maybe the weds of my RE appt (the 18th)
R/R: night 10000 of no sleep. Over it, but I sucked it up and went to the gym this morning. I am dead haha. At least it’s my WFH day and I’m about to go to my favorite coffee shop to work and get a large latte 😴
CS/Q: apparently I’m never sleeping again. Just gonna keep marking it as sleep deprived because I’ve been waking up around 3 and rolling around
Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL
CD/DPO: 18/2
Timing: -2, +1
Typical LP length: 10
Testing: 10 DPO or AF, not sure yet
R/R: I ovulated earlier than I have the last two months which means I could potentially sneak in March. But my timing has me on the fence with hope. I really wanted to hit -1 or O but my husband was too tired after vacation.
CS/Q: None currently.
@bows22 I hope AF never comes and this is it for you!
@tyrion_ thanks! I hope so too. I’ve been in the bathroom to check about 5 times already. Going to be a productive day 😬. I’m glad you have a chance to join our friends in March. I don’t like -2 timing either, but it’s definitely still good timing!
@bows22 I have no idea what's going on with your cycle, but I really hope it's just weird in the best way possible.
@b_1029 Ugh, I'm sorry about crappy sleep! Those days suck, but I'm crazy impressed you still went to the gym. There would be like 0% of that for me in that situation, haha.
@tyrion_ FX for March! It's shaping up to be quite the BMB for TTGP!
Month/Cycle: 12/3 AL
CD/DPO: 27/7
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, +1
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Pee party Monday!
R/R: MH woke me up at 4:30am this morning with a loud cough right in my ear. My alarm goes off at 5am for my walk, and losing that half hour suuuuucks. I briefly contemplated smothering him with a pillow. So many things screwing up my sleep this week, and I'm not impressed. Also, there are two guys near my desk who have been talking about golf for like 20 minutes now and I want to tell them to STFU. It's the most boring conversation ever.

@bows22 he was audit! It’s really nice getting to see him January - April now 😂
@shamrocandroll freaking husband coughing in your ear haha. Happy dating anniversary, so sweet!
Month/Cycle: 4/3 AL
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: Monday's pee party with @shamrocandroll! I'll be 10dpo.
R/R: I'm starting to SS now, but then I give myself a pep talk and I bring myself back to reality. If AF stays away then my due date would be 3/27 so group 4 on the March BMB with hopefully, @shamrocandroll @tyrion_ @b_1029. @bows22 would you be in group 4 too if AF stays away?!? If we all end up moving on to the next cycle, then we will just need to take over the April BMB! Haha!
CS/Q: I stopped temping at 3dpo so nothing to see.

I'm sorry for the rough night of sleep @b_1029. I didn't sleep great either! At least you hit the gym this morning.
Yay for an earlier O this month @tyrion_! -2 is still great timing, but I totally understand wanting to hit -1 & O. That's basically my goal every cycle. Haha!
Ugggghhhh, I'm so annoyed at your H for you @shamrocandroll. Every minute counts that early in the morning!

@bows22 That's so irritating that your firm is being dismissed automatically. I guess people are weird though.
@b_1029 Kudos for making it to the gym!!!!! You deserve the largest of lattes!
@tyrion_ FX for March BMB!!!
@shamrocandroll is there anything more painful than listening to someone else talk about golf? Jeeeeez!! Also happy dateaversary!!!
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD/DPO: 19/4 (or 3 according to my Femometer app....)
Timing: According to my OPKs, good.
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope, still too early for even SS to start.
R/R: I survived work yesterday! Contemplated taking a sick day today but still too much to do, really. I did skip my morning run bc I have tennis tonight and I was just feeling run down, kind of like I'm getting a summer cold.
CS/Q: I'm pretty happy with this so far. Typically I stop temping once I get a positive OPK but I might continue this as long as it doesn't make me crazy! I'm pretty sure O was on CD15 and I had a slow rise, but who knows. (CD14 I slept in one freaking hour and FF gave me an open circle!!!!)

@bows22 Jack needs to get his act together. FX you get good news when your reinforcements arrive!
@b_1029 I'm impressed that you went to the gym on no sleep! Also, your chart is looking good...
@tyrion_ Hoping you hit the tail end of the March BMB. Your timing still looks pretty good!
@shamrocandroll I hate when husbands do things like that! MH set his alarm for 30 minutes before mine today with the same alarm tone. So I've been wide awake since 4:30. Gee, thanks honey.
@pupplove8910 I wish I could stop chatting at 3dpo. Seems like it would be better for my sanity, but I'm obsessed, so...🤷♀️
@mvt2003 Your chart looks good so far! I sometimes have a slow rise too. Drives me crazy, but what can you do? Hopefully you get crosshairs tomorrow.

R/R: I finished a huge project yesterday and now I'm over working. I feel like I should get to not work for the rest of the week. I'm going to have to dig deep to he productive today.
CS/Q: Nope
Also, as a result of this conversation, I had my Outlook calendar set on March 2020, and I kept looking at it thinking that it's this month's calendar, and getting really confused that the days of the week shifted. Nope dummy... you just left it on your imaginary due date month.

R/R: Exhausted from work this week, really looking forward to time off this weekend, haven't had a day off in ages! Need some serious sleep.
CS/Q: Nope
@bows22 FX you get good news!!
@b_1029 I'm impressed that you went to the gym on no sleep! I have been sooo bad at making it to the gym lately!
@shamrocandroll I hate that! DH always wakes up before me and I still can't sleep past his alarm.
@b_1029 I’d be March 31! All this dreaming has me SS at 2 DPO like a lunatic. I want this so badly for all of us!
@puppylove8910 Hope you get your bfp on Monday and you can keep group 4 warm for all us hopefuls.
@mvt2003 FF is so picky about your time. Open circles drive me crazy.
@ruby696 Just go home and tell your boss your internet friends approved it 😜
@samvsimpson I always try to hold out for AF and without fail I cave and test. It is always easier said than done early on.
