R/R: got back on the “eating right” train... had a rough week, but ate better yesterday and now I’m feeling better! Weekend update may be difficult as I live in a small town and our town festival is tomorrow, but I’ll do my best! MH and I are doing a golf scramble at our town course tomorrow, and then running an ice cream social for our church. It will be fun! But a lot of time and energy goes into it.
CS/Q: Has anyone ever had ovulation bleeding? I’ve had it 3 DPO every cycle since my MC. I called my sister and she and my mom both had it after their first MC. Just wondering if any of you have?
Month/Cycle: 2nd
CD/DPO: 28/3
Timing: -4,-3,-1

R/R: So Happy it’s Friday. I have been waking up exhausted this week, so I really need a weekend. Tomorrow night we are seeing my dad in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I’m super excited about it. My friend saw it last week and said he was quite impressed with my dad’s performance.
CS/Q: Not today.

Good morning, ladies! Happy Friday!
Month/Cycle: 12/11/1st cycle AL#2
CD/DPO: 23/2 or 3
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Nope. Going to do my best to stick it out until 18dpo like my RE instructed. 😉
R/R: The only teacher supply store near me closed in May, so I am attempting to pick out some supplies for the new year online. It's tough when you can't see them in person! I have a knitting project that is a gift and needs to be done by next weekend, so that's how a big chunk of my day is going to be spent. I am excited for pizza tonight and maybe a little glass of wine. 🥂 We do this evey week, but it never gets old for me.
CS/Q: Lovely temp rise, but some of it is probably due to the progesterone. I just hope I didn't start it too early.
@ejoseph16 The town festival sounds super fun. I hope you have a great time. Glad you feel better after eating better food. I’ve never had O bleeding, but I know it’s a thing. Hope it’s not too annoying for you.

@emeraldduchess the back to school season is here! I change my classroom theme every few years, and I just changed to a Harry Potter theme this year. Everything I found was online, so I had to forewarn MH. Lol “hey... when you see $200 from amazon charged to our card, it was me...” 🤷🏼♀️
Month/Cycle: 14/9/4 AL
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 14-16
Testing: WFAF
R/R: We are going to my parents tonight and then to go visit my brother’s families tomorrow. Should be a good weekend overall spent with family, so I’m happy about that! I may not be on here much though. *TW - loss mentioned in spoiler.*
CS/Q: No, we raised the temp upstairs a degree last night, so the rise didn’t surprise me.
@ejoseph16 great job on getting back on track eating wise! We have done well this week too...but we are meeting my parents at a Chinese buffet tonight, so that’s all going to get ruined! Haha. Hope you have a great time at the golf scramble & town festival...sounds like a very busy weekend, but also lots of fun!! I’ve never had ovulation bleeding, but that’s reassuring that your mom & sister both had it.
@Kathryn0903 have fun at the zoo!
@mercury94 hope you get some rest this weekend!! How fun about your dad being in the performance! Is it a play or musical?
@emeraldduchess that stinks about the school supply store! Is there one close enough that you could take a short road trip and maybe do something else while in the area to make it worth the drive? Have fun knitting today...and enjoy your pizza & wine, that sounds like a great tradition!
@Kathryn0903 have a great time at the zoo tonight! That reminds me, DH and I need to go before the summer is over. Gotta see some otters and red pandas before I go back to school.
@bluetickgal have a nice time with your family. I'm sure it will be emotional, but I know you'll be ok.
@ejoseph16 it sounds like you have a fantastic weekend planned! I don't really have a theme to my classroom, just bright colors and a lot of polka dot. I do decorate the door with a different theme every year, though! Last year I did super heroes, the year before that was a Disney theme. Not sure what I'll do this year.
@bluetickgal Have a great time with your family. I hope that meeting your niece isn’t too triggering. I’m sorry for your loss. I really hope this is your month. My dad is in a musical. He’s been doing them a long time. We did the Sound of Music together when I was in high school (but I was in the chorus because I’m not as good as he is). It’s fun. This is the second time he’s done this one. I guess it’s more of a big deal here in Texas.

@ejoseph16 - ooh I love a good small town summer festival. I haven't had O bleeding but it sounds like it's within the realm of normal for post-MC...I might mention to your doctor if they take questions over the phone, just for extra reassurance...but that's how I am with doctors!
@mercury94 - That's so fun that you're going to see your dad! Does he act in a lot of stuff? I haven't seen that show before or the movie but I bet it's a fun one.
@emeraldduchess - that sounds like a nice day! I haven't taken it but based on what you said yesterday it sounds like you started progesterone at the right time....
@bluetickgal - I hope you have a nice time with your family!
Month/Cycle: 12/11
CD/DPO: 28/2
Timing: good I think
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: nope
R/R: Acupuncture was nice last night and I was motivated to stay on my wellness kick by going to my sometimes-regular 6am Friday yoga class this morning, so I'm feeling pretty good! And happy it's almost the weekend. We don't have major plans which is nice.
CS/Q: Okay not sure if this is worth sharing (just started temping again, after taking months off, just to see if I would get something that looked like a rise?) I'm thinking O was the 24th based on OPKs, the low temp yesterday could be b/c the A/C was on in our room even though it wasn't hot. Hoping there is a slow rise coming... also it's Ovia, not FF. I might explore with that this weekend...

Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: very good, EOD to ED. -5, -3, -1, 0, 2
Not exactly sure of ovulation time, but cervical position and mucus consistency point to ovulation being last Wed.
Typical LP length: ~15 days
Testing: Will likely wait until I miss a period. Symptom spotting like crazy, so it is always possible I will give in before then though! Is there a pee party in the near future?
R/R:
Rant: So, I had planned on coming back for tags on Monday, but our internet derped out on us, so I didn't get to it. Sorry, ladies! I used my troubleshooting skills to finally get it back working by Wednesday (yay)! Besides that, I'm absolutely exhausted this week. I have been forcing myself to stay up an hour or two later for Moth Week, but my body is not happy with this change. I went to bed at 7:30pm last night (god, I feel old), but...
Rave: I woke up at 2:30am to turn on my moth light. I was greeted with multiple moths (literally flying at my face), and I had one of the most productive mornings yet!
CS/Q: n/a
@ejoseph16 That sounds like an event-filled, wonderful weekend. *jealous of the ice cream*
@Kathryn0903 Gotta love when hubbies get home early on Fridays! Such a treat!
@mercury94 Is that a musical or a play? So cool that your dad is a performer!
@emeraldduchess What kind of knitting project? Also...pizza=
@bluetickgal Have fun with your family this weekend! *hugs* Stay strong and know that you are entitled to feel whatever emotions come to you.
@whitealbum29 That yoga class sounds fantastic. I would consider it if I weren't so far in the boonies now (around 40 minutes of driving each way to get to any town)!

@mercury94 thank you!! That’s very cool...and awesome you all were in a musical together before! My dad was in a couple local productions (Hello Dolly, and I can’t think of the name of the other one) and it was so cool to go see him! He did not pass on his singing abilities to any of us kids though! Haha. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
@whitealbum29 thanks! Way to go with the 6am yoga...I’d love to work out in the morning, but can’t make myself get up any earlier! Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend!
@flowntheloop thank you!! That stinks you internet went out, but glad you fixed it! That’s great you had a productive morning with the moth’s...hopefully you can work in a nap today!!

@flowntheloop I know some people are doing Monday for a pee party. It’s too soon for me, but it would be good timing for you! take lots of naps today! Lol
@bluetickgal Trying my very best to stay up so I don't mess up my sleep schedule any further.

CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/11
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: ~15 days
Testing: BFN this morning (not surprised)
R/R: I took today off work to catch up on some grad school assignments and just get a break from work/internship. I just wanted to spend some quiet time at home with our four dogs, and am enjoying it so much. I'm also going to work on some prep for a Deadwood-themed murder mystery party we're hosting for my birthday on Labor Day weekend. We hosted a murder mystery party for my birthday last year with a Mad Men theme and it was a huge hit, so I figured we'd do it again this year since we may not be in this area next year, because I'm due to transfer next summer.
CS/Q: Nope. Temps still high, though.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@flowntheloop Pee party Monday! Please join in.

@ttcbabyodo so sorry about the BFN, hopefully it was just too early! That is so cool you are planning a murder mystery party (again)! It sounds like a lot of work has gone into it already, I’m sure it will be a blast!
