@bows22 so so sorry ❤️❤️
Month/Cycle: 21/22
CD/DPO: 18/6 days post trigger
Timing: 🤷🏼♀️
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: the 14th ish?
R/R: sad for friend’s BFNs. I know fertility is clearly not a game of who deserves it or not, but it makes me mad when some people get KU while others don’t. In other news, I made it to the gym this morning and am struggling. Not much else to report besides the fact I got stung by a bee while walking the dog last night and it hurts like a b*tch.
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 12/11/1st cycle AL#2
CD/DPO: 34/13
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Nope. If I make it to Friday without AF I'll go in for betas. It's actually pretty easy to resist POAS. *TW* loss*
R/R: I have a funeral service this morning for a colleague's dad. I also have to call the mechanic about having my brakes checked and probably replaced. I am starting to hear scraping sounds and that's obviously not good. 😫
CS/Q: Yesterday's temp spike was just a fluke. It was pretty while it lasted, I guess. It doesn't help that my boobs were really tender yesterday which added to the crazy.
@b_1029 I totally agree about "deserving" it, but you're so very right. Also, stupid bee!!!!!!!!
IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP
FET #1 Natural Cycle March 2020 CXL'd due to Covid-19
FET #1 Natural Cycle June 2020 - CP #2

Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope!
R/R: My temps have not been great post-O this cycle - almost no shift, and today saw a drop. I did wake up cold with part of the blanket off, so halfheartedly telling myself that's the issue. I know, I'm laughing too. I'm trying to just keep my cool, and remain calm. Work being crazy will slightly help with that. We're taking our intern out for a farewell lunch today, so that should be delicious. I'm getting a salad with salmon!
CS/Q: Nope nope nope
IVF Cycle #1 February 2020 4 embryos frozen, 1 fresh transfer = CP
FET #1 Natural Cycle March 2020 CXL'd due to Covid-19
FET #1 Natural Cycle June 2020 - CP #2
FET #2 Natural Cycle July 2020 - BFP!!!!!! Beta #1 = 273

@bows22 - I'm so sorry about the BFN.
If you go back to WTO I'll be right behind you, AF is due Thursday here too.
@b_1029 - Ugh hope your bee sting is on the mend!!
@emeraldduchess - I hope today's temp was a fluke instead of yesterday's! Glad you're not struggling to resist testing. FX you make it to Friday!
Month/Cycle: 12/11
CD/DPO: 39/13
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Grr I woke up with a slight headache today...not major at all but annoying. Other than that I'm glad I have a four day week this week!
CS/Q: nope
@kpearse99 sorry for the bfn and AF arriving, but I’m glad that means you can get the ball rolling with everything! I really liked Stranger Things...season 1 is still my favorite but this one was better than 2 IMO. I couldn’t believe how little they were during that short little flashback!
@m6agua sorry for the BFN
@photographerwife girl, you need to get on Stranger Things! As far as months...I used to count from CD1 of our first cycle and do it that way, but then after being benched for a bit I was too lazy/ sad to go all the way back in my cycle history to figure it out.
@bows22 we got a Maytag washer/dryer! Can’t wait to fit more than like 4 towels into a load!
————
@mvt2003 sorry for the temps. Have fun at lunch, sounds delicious!
@whitealbum29 boooo headache! Hope it doesn’t last long. Yay for 4 day work weeks!
@b_1029 Sorry about your bee sting! I hope it gets better soon! I know i need to get on stranger things! Were wating the boys on prime right now, so when were done with that well have to get back to it. Both shows i have to wait for DH to watch. lol!
@emeraldduchess Im glad your POAS stress is low this week! FX for you!
@mvt2003 Hopefully its too early for good temps! Sounds like a wonderful lunch!
@whitealbum29 Hope you feel better soon!
@whitealbum29 I hope the headache goes away quickly.
@mvt2003 Yum, that lunch sounds amazing!
@bows22 I'm sorry about the BFN.
@b_1029 Sorry about the bee sting!
@emeralddouchess That makes a lot of sense. Hopefully you will have beautiful betas on Friday! That sucks about your brakes! When I had that issue I had to get the brake pads, rotors and calipers replaced.
Month/Cycle: 5/4 (2 TTC, 2 Benched)
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: BFN at 9 & 10 DPO, I think I'll wait for AF in the next two days or test on Friday.
R/R: This cycle is so weird, I don't feel like AF is coming, as in I don't have any of my usual signs but I am pretty sure she will come right on time. I am excited for football season to start! First GB Packers pre-season game is on Thursday!
CS/Q: Nothing to see
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16

CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -6,-5,-3,-2 0
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: WFAF probably
R/R: Ill be working my first wedding in a long time with another photographer this weekend, so excited about that. It will give me something to keep my mind on if AF does come.
possible TW: I found out yesterday that my uncles mom passed away earlier this week. I haven't seen them much since i lost my dad, so i'm happy to be able to see them later this week. I just wish it were under better circumstances. They've had a hard time with family losses over the past several years. END TW:
CS/Q: I had a huge temp drop this morning, FX its a good sign, but we'll see.
@b_1029 oh no! a bee sting?!?! Geez!!! I hope it's feeling better by now.
@whitealbum29 ugh sorry about the headache, I hope it's gone by now though!
@m6agua I hope you don't get thrown for a cycle loop like I have been thrown the last 2 cycles!
@photographerwife I hope the wedding shoot goes smoothly this weekend! That sounds so fun!
So I went to fill out my own stuff for this thread and realized I'm in the WTO now
Oh dear, my brain is like mush!! Turns out I'm lurking on this board hard core

@b_1029 have you heard of "The Bug Bite Thing"? I got stung on the back of my knee on Sunday and thought I wasn't going to be able to bend my knee the rest of the day because it hurt so much. I used the bug bite thing on it, and the pain went away immediately! It works okay for mosquito bites, but this was the first time I used it for a sting, and it paid for itself on that one use alone! Highly recommend!

@photographerwife being a wedding photographer sounds like a fun job! I hope couple is easy to work with and you don't have to deal with a bridezilla.
@m6agua sorry about the confusing cycle. I hate when that happens and you get stuck in limbo.
@whitealbum29 hope your headache didn't last long. Yay for a 4 day work week!
