Re: TWW Wednesday 8/7
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -4,-3,-1,O
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: BFN again today. Just WFAF now.
R/R: So it doesn’t look like the positivity train worked for me! Focusing on the silver lining, at least this way I’ll get to drink on vacation and then I can get KU next month? I had a really productive day at work yesterday since I stayed off TB😂but I haven’t even started packing yet! We are taking my car and DH cleaned it out last night so I can’t wait to drive a spiffy car today!
CS/Q:
@bows22 hugs, my friend! ❤️
Good morning! 🐪🐪🐪
Month/Cycle: 12/11/1st cycle AL#2
CD/DPO: 35/14
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: Blood test on Friday or Monday if no AF (calling the RE tomorrow to schedule)
R/R: Having lunch with my mom at an English tea room that we love, so I am looking forward to that.
CS/Q: Still riding the Hot Mess Express. Choo-choo!
@bows22 So. many. internet. hugs. I know I'm also feeling a bit deflated after my positivity exercise, and I totally empathize. Deep breaths for us both, and if AF comes then in the spirit of Bill Belichick we're on to the next cycle.

@emeraldduchess that sounds so fun, have a good time with your mom!
Month/Cycle: 21/22
CD/DPO: 19/7 post trigger
Timing: ?
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: still enjoying testing out the trigger!
R/R: yesterday was a cluster. DH pushed me to list our washer / dryer on FB marketplace and someone said they’d buy them. I had to race home from work to figure out how to disconnect both of them and it turns out none of the nozzles will turn to get the water off...not even our main line. They’re corroded or something, idk. I can’t express how frustrated I was that all of it got dumped on me (while DH was delaying coming home for stupid stuff) but luckily the guy who said he’d buy them seemed flexible. On the plus side I’m WFH this morning while I wait for a plumber to come out and I took the dog through the coffee shop drive thru to get his pup cup!
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: Excellent
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Going to try to WFAF
R/R: Yesterday was incredibly busy at work, which was a nice distraction tbh. I also went for a run at the indoor track at the gym last night, which also helped. I'm not feeling too positive about this cycle, but I keep reminding myself that I can't control anything right now, and the only way out is through.
I had wild dream this morning, super realistic, that I had a screaming match with a coworker (which quite frankly would not be out of the realm of possibility
) so I actually woke up at 5am and had to remind myself that it didn't actually happen and she actually currently likes me (she can turn on a dime) and yeah. Therefore this morning's temp was 45 minutes early! FF yelled at me about it, but oh well. It did show a slight bump up, so I've got that going for me.
CS/Q: Nope

@b_1029 yikes, I am getting stressed just reading about your washer/dryer thing. Hope the plumber can get things in order so you can sell them! And your dog is so dang adorable, I wish mine was so well behaved in the car!
@emeraldduchess Fx for no AF! Enjoy your lunch with mom!
@b_1029 UGH, that is so frustrating! Thankfully they are being patient. Cute pup! Is the pup cup whipped cream?
@mvt2003 If its the same coworker who got you messed up on the cards, I dont blame you! 🙄I cant stand people who flip flop like that! At least your subconscious is letting you get out some frustration! lol FX for you this cycle!
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -6,-5,-3,-2,0
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: WFAF probably
R/R: Nothing really, Today is super super hot so im going to spend the day inside and try to get some things done around the house, before a busy next few days. Trying not to SS, but I haven't had much except some very minimal cramping, that I probably wouldnt even notice if i werent in the TWW. lol
CS/Q: Had a temp spike this morning. 🤷🏼♀️
@bows22 so sorry about the BFN. *Internet Hugs* I hope it just lets you have a fun vacation before you get KU next month!! FX for you!
@emeraldduchess - ooh an English tea room! I love places like those, have fun! FX for you that you get to Friday and have a great blood test!!
@b_1029 - ugh so sorry you had to deal with all the washer/dryer crap! I would be hopeless at that, I admire you for even dealing with it! Glad you can WFH today and your doggie certainly seems to be living his best life!
@mvt2003 - well I feel positive for you! FX!
Month/Cycle: 12/11
CD/DPO: 40/14 (estimated)
Timing: good I think
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: WFAF, expected tomorrow
R/R: Not really a rant or rave but just kind of a situation I'm thinking about...rambling below re: Zika and travel.
CS/Q: nope
@bows22 Vacation drinks taste better! Enjoy them and relax!
@emeraldduchess English tea sounds awesome!
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -5, -4, -2, 0, 1
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Friday
R/R: My summer job is almost up and I'll have a couple days to pack for vacation.
CS/Q: I'm not temping now but I'm thinking about starting next cycle. I'm basing my O date off of my averages/ symptoms from my AF tracker. I've done it for 3 years so at least it has a lot of data to work with. A bit earlier in my cycle I was thinking I could have O'd sooner but I've talked myself into going with the apps suggestion...
@bows22 sorry for the BFN! 😕 Hope you have a fabulous vacation and enjoy all the beverages you want!!
@emeraldduchess my fingers are crossed so hard for you!!
@mvt2003❤️❤️ Thank you so much! I agree, the TWW is like dominoes....you set everything up as best you can and then you just have to see what happens! Your timing is awesome though!
@photographerwife I can’t see your chart again! But that’s great news that your temp went back up.
@whitealbum29 I don’t have any advice really but as long as you are OK with the benched time, I think proceeding as if you are going makes sense. Worst case is you get KU and want to cancel, which isn’t a terrible “worst case”
@jrouge12 I highly recommend temping! I think it’s so interesting! Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility?
@photographerwife Ha that's actually a different one! The TW is just thoughtless, this one is a bit more of a challenge!

CD/DPO: 28/13
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: Friday if no AF. I am expecting AF later today at latest tomorrow.
R/R: Work has been busy and I am just not motivated this week. It sucks because I have so many projects right now that have quick deadlines. I just want to have a week off and work on my house, cleaning organizing, chores and yard work.
CS/Q: Nothing to see.

TTC#2 April 2019@emeraldduchess FX so hard for you!
@b_1029 Sorry about the washer/dryer debacle, that really sucks.
@mvt2003 That sounds like an intense dream!
@photographerwife I cannot see your chart. I hope you can get everything done you want to.
@whitealbum29 I'm sorry, that is a lot to process with the trip and with so many unknowns. I am not a traveling sort of person so I am no help with Zika info.
@jrouge12 For when you decided to start temping, most people around here use Fertility Friend. It has a lot of great features and seems to have good algorithms.

@bows22 Big, big hugs to you. I'm so sorry the positivity didn't work. It's not looking like my cycle either, so we'll just go to May together instead, K?
@mvt2003 I can honestly say I've never thought about Bill Belichick in a TTGP context before now. But great reference.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -4, -1(×2), 0
Typical LP length: 15ish
Testing: Sunday
R/R: I'm SS so bad this cycle. I did what I set out to do by having a super relaxed WTO 2 weeks without obsessing, but that's all over now and the TTC crazy is back 😖
In all honesty I'm likely having crazy PMS. I find as I get older that my boobs hurt the whole 2WW. I hate it. Hormones suck.
CS/Q: Nothing to see really.
@bows22 big creepy internet stranger hugs. I hope you enjoy your vacation and drink ALL the margaritas.
@b_1029 Oh your puppers is beautiful! I've been watching way too many Tucker the golden retriever video clips on YouTube lately and I want a Golden so bad. We have 2 labs though, and definitely dont need a puppy to add to the crazy, especially if we are lucky enough to get pregnant.
@emeraldduchess he’s well behaved when he knows he’s getting a treat 😂 when we take him on longer road trips, he’s super pant-y and annoying.
@photographerwife yep, a cup of whipped cream with a dog treat on top! Super cute. That’s great your temp went back up!
@whitealbum29 he lives his best life for sure! He is so spoiled. I agree that you shouldn’t put your life on hold forever for TTC. If you guys want to book the vacation, you absolutely should! Like PP said, if you end up getting pregnant you can always cancel it. To be honest taking a 3 month break for Zika (DH went to Cuba for school) was nice...I tracked my symptoms like normal in FF for me to look back on when I’m being BSC like no self, this happens anyway 🤷🏼♀️ totally up to you guys of course but that’s just my opinion. I mainly feel this way because I used to put everything on hold for TTC and not to be pessimistic, but I just don’t know how long my IF is going to last and I don’t want to put my life on hold forever.
@m6agua totally with ya on the motivation train. Is there such thing as a summer slump?
@SimpleJane ooooo I need to go check out this pup! I’m only slightly obsessed with mine lol. That would definitely be a lot to deal with!
