@tyrion_ glad to hear you survived. You have more patience than I do!

Month/Cycle: 21/22

CD/DPO: 22/9 ish

Timing: great

Typical LP length: 14-15

Testing: ? In a week if no AF? Not really sure because my cousins will be here Thursday - Sunday

R/R: edited - put in a spoiler because it’s long

Monday - ugh. I had a good weekend with my parents other than the fact I think I heard my dad complaining about the fur on the couch, which is a whole rant on it’s own because he never does shit to help my mom clean around the house so wtf does he know, and I spent 30 min vacuuming the damn thing before they got here. I have such a complex about the fur after hearing him complain about it before so now he’s just adding to that. Also, my mom confirmed I look like I’ve gained weight- I’m equally relieved I’m not crazy and sad that it’s noticeable. Went to the gym this morning so at least it was motivation. Last rant- I think dh thinks I’m crazy. We went out to eat last night and he was saying some friends of ours have been trying “for a while” and I was like hmmm really? He said the husband told him 5-6 months. I gave a very sarcastic “ohhh wowwww that’s rough” and he seemed shocked at my bitterness. I wouldn’t be if they didn’t *TW* have a 4 and a 2 year old that were conceived easily (to my knowledge) *end TW*. I told him sorry I am the way I am, but...this is just how it is for me lol

CS/Q: does anyone else have really sore boobs one cycle and not the next? I’m confused why they are sometimes and sometimes not.

shamrocandroll · July 2019

@tyrion_ Surviving MIL visits always deserves major kudos. Mine visits in 2 weeks...

@b_1029 I'm sorry about all the frustration. I find myself being more bitter than I would like, and I hate it. Also, apparently my boobs hurting for the whole second half of my cycle is a new and wonderful thing for me. They hurt so much when anything touches them and it SUCKS! Your chart looks good, though!

Month/Cycle: 12/3 AL

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, +1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Most of you probably already guessed this since I'm here. BFN this morning.

R/R: I'm almost okay with the BFN this morning. Almost. I can't tell if it's because I can't imagine adding pregnancy to the list of things we're dealing with right now, or because I'm just numb to bad stuff happening now. Our septic backed up again yesterday. Worse this time. I was home alone and had to deal with it solo. We ended up going to my parents' condo yesterday to shower, do laundry, and make/eat dinner, and MH and I got into an argument in front of them, which I hate. He's being kind of a dick lately, which isn't helping my mood any. He's not good at communicating and then tends to get condescending and it makes my blood boil. I'm just letting it go because I'm tired of talking to at him and him just staring blankly at the wall. We'll be fine. We're just crazy stressed and taking it out on each other. Anyway. I also found a leak in the main drainage pipe in the basement, which contributed to the flooding. It kind of looks like there might be carpenter ants around it, too. Apparently they are able to chew through plastic in search of food sources. So now I have the septic company and a plumber on emergency dial today.

CS/Q: Temp took a nosedive this morning, so I kind of expected the BFN. Just WFAF at this point, I think. I want in on the April (although with my longer cycles lately, it might be May) club!

begging4abump · July 2019

Lurking...@shamrocandroll ugh, I am so sorry for all the junk you’re dealing with right now, including those results. Big hugs!

jennifer_louise · July 2019

I was about to pop in to drop some lurker hugs for @shamrocandroll but I realized I actually go here.

@tyrion_ boo for family drama. I'm glad you don't have to worry about it again for months, but way to go on making it through the weekend.

@b_1029 I'm sorry you had to deal with all that this weekend. I know I love my parents too but they can definitely be triggering on occasion.

@shamrocandroll I just hate that you're dealing with all that. I sincerely hope this week turns around for you!

Month/cycle: 13/15

CD/DPO: 18/4-5dpo

Timing: C-

Typical LP length: 10-12

Testing: definitely not.

R/R: Well, due to my inability to read/follow instructions on my CBDAs this cycle, we had pretty crappy timing. Add that in with a stupid argument with MH on O day, it would basically be a miraculous conception if it happened this month. The light at the end of the tunnel is that I should be able to do my RE consult in the next couple weeks!! I'm ready to move forward.

CS/Q: nope, this is a sad chart I will take with me to my grave.

I am so so sorry @shamrocandroll. For the BFN and everything else too❤️ You have to come with us to April now though. May is not an option!

mvt2003 · July 2019

@shamrocandroll I'm so sorry for the BFN and adding all of the other crap on top of it just makes it worse.

@tyrion_ I'm so glad you survived MIL weekend!!!

@b_1029 I'm sorry things feel rough right now. If it helps, you're not alone. I think it's incredibly normal to feel that way.

@jennifer_louise I'm sorry for the crappy timing! FX for a good RE visit though!

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Trying to hold out... who knows though.

R/R: I had a lovely weekend. I went to the beach yesterday (had to evacuate the water bc of a shark sighting though!), then had dinner with my gfs. MH was less than thrilled when he saw the charge hit the account for dinner though. Let's just say we had a very good time for ourselves!!!

CS/Q: Temp dip today and yesterday. I'm wondering if it's because I slept with my mouth open (I've been congested) and had some rose last night.

lcking82 · July 2019

Ugh - so sorry @shamrocandroll.

@jennifer_louise: I feel like a lot of my months have that "there's no way" feeling. Which sucks. I'm sorry.

@b_1029: I have definite variability on boob soreness!

@tyrion_: Yay, surviving MIL visit! Whew!!

Month/Cycle: 11/10

CD/DPO: 33/15 (Pretty sure AF is coming today)

Timing: not good

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: If AF doesn't show today, then I will test in AM. Started having cramps and acne this weekend, so pretty sure AF is on her way. I'm so pessimistic about this cycle that it was fairly easy to not test this weekend. If she doesn't show up today, then I'll test tomorrow morning, but I seriously am not feeling ANY symptoms at all. (maybe some heartburn over the weekend? - or that could be a delicious seafood boil we had!)

R/R: Great weekend!! Saturday was sunny with outside time, and then yesterday was rainy and a good excuse to relax inside. This week is going to be HeCtiC at work, so I'm glad I got downtime before hand!

CS/Q: none really. Stopped temping last week (cat knocked thermometer off nightstand, and I only just found it across the room and under curtains this weekend!) and honestly still not entirely convinced I O'ed.

shamrocandroll · July 2019

@begging4abump @jennifer_louise @bows22 @mvt2003 Thank you, ladies.

@bows22 I guess we'll see what the next cycle brings! This is shaping up to be a 35 day cycle from the looks of it, which miiight just put me over the edge into May if I have another longer cycle next month...

jennifer_louise · July 2019

Oh I wanted to add @b_1029 my boobs are the same. Sometimes. They hurt for like a week Pre-AF and sometimes not at all. Last cycle was terrible, and I blamed the Clomid (which is totally made up)

@mvt2003 OoooOooOh a shark sighting?! That is what freaks me out about the ocean! It could also be that I've never lived by the ocean so I am much more comfortable as a land-lubber. I know it's ironic because I do live in a place with mountain lions and rattlesnakes though...

@lcking82 FX AF stays away!!

mvt2003 · July 2019

@jennifer_louise Ha it was pretty freaky. The past few years have gotten more intense, I don't remember there being this many sightings when I was a kid! It's also relatively early in the season too (aka the water is still freezing!) I must say I would probably be more afraid of the mountain lions and rattlesnakes!! Guess it's all about where we grow up!

sevenn · July 2019

@tyrion_ - victory! hopefully you'll have fulfilled your DIL duties for a while?
@b_1029 - gosh that sounds like a few emotionally draining encounters. hope you can find some time to unwind after all of that
@shamrocandroll - UGH! so sorry for BFN and the tiffs with DH.
@jennifer_louise - i had to look up the CBDA interpretations more than once this cycle. Exciting that you've got RE in the works though if this isn't your cycle. Fx it is
@mvt2003 - good for you with the girls night!
@lcking82 - I LOL'd to your cat thermometer sabotage

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 14/5

Timing: -2, -1

Typical LP length: 14d

Testing: at least holding out to 10 DPO? If the FRER in my drawer doesn't burn a hole...

R/R: nice weekend and "easy" day at work made this Monday not too terrible for me. And they're installing the windows in our addition hopefully! i'm at that part of my cycle that is always so optimistic feeling... too early to test, sore boobs, "maybe it actually worked." Anyone here have stores with Fertilaid? If no BFP this round, gonna take it next cycle. Maybe it will sort out my early O, just scared of making my cycle worse.

CS/Q: nah

samvsimpson · July 2019

@b_1029 - That sounds exhausting! I hope you have a better day soon.
@shamrocandroll - Sorry about BFN ❤️
@mvt2003 - Girls night sounds so fun! I haven't had one in ages.
@lcking82 - LOL - I am so afraid that my dog will get at my Ovusense tracker!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: Okay

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: WFAF

R/R: Did some redecorating of my home this weekend, got a new tv, new mattress and some more decor. It's so nice to feel proud of my home again 😊

CS/Q: Is it normal for temps to keep rising after Ovulation? It's my first time temping. Unfortunately my Ovusense device only arrived the day I got a + OPK so I don't have any before data. I thought it was supposed to level off? Any help would be appreciated or if this is supposed to go in another section, let me know!

tyrion_ · July 2019

@b_1029 I’m sorry your dad’s comment is getting to you. And in your defense, if my husband told me someone was “struggling” and then told me that time frame for trying, I’d play them the tiniest violin on earth.

@shamrocandroll Man, I really am sorry about the bfn. And WTF to the septic!? This just isn’t even
fair anymore.

@jennifer_louise I’m sorry about this crap cycle but your comment under “cs/q” made me LOL.

@mvt2003 Yikes, I wouldn’t I have gone back in the water. I’m such a chicken about water creatures.

@lcking82 Glad you had a good weekend heading into a hectic week!

@sevenn My cheapie HPTs are telling me to test irrationally early. Hope you have the strength to wait and ignore the FRER burning in your drawer.

shamrocandroll · July 2019

Thanks everyone. The septic has been pumped, and the guy said it *should* be okay now and to just keep an eye on it and try not to do so much laundry all at once like I did. Fingers crossed we didn't kill our leach field because that'll be thousands of dollars to repair.
