Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 28/13

Timing: -4,-3,-1,O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Expecting AF today

R/R: Last day of work before vacation! I pretty much have everything done and should definitely be able to get to what’s left today, assuming nothing comes up at the last minute. Knock on wood! I really hope AF comes today. We are doing the drive over 2 days and can’t check into our place until 4 on Saturday, so Sunday will be our first beach day. Would love for it to be CD 4 versus dealing with a heavier AF earlier.

CS/Q:

emeraldduchess · August 2019

Good morning, ladies! I definitely thought it was Friday when I logged on. I even had a Friday gif ready!

@bows22 I hope today flies by so you can get into vacation mode. 🍹

Month/Cycle: 12/11/1st cycle AL #2

CD/DPO: 36/15

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Calling the RE today about scheduling bloodwork for tomorrow or Monday.

R/R: I tried rooibos tea yesterday for the first time and it was so good! I didn't want to have caffeine (just in case), so I tried this one and loved it. It's herbal but you can still put milk and sugar in like black tea.

CS/Q: I had a tiny bit of pink spotting last night, but I don't know if it's the beginning of AF or from cervical irritation. No matter what the bloodwork says, I will be a mess of either fear or disappointment. 😕

b_1029 · August 2019

Good morning fellow early birds!

@bows22 hope the day goes by quickly and that AF cooperates! A 2 day drive?! Dang.

@emeraldduchess I’m so excited about your DPO right now! I hope AF stays away and you get good news tomorrow. My roommate in Spain and I used to make rooibos tea “lattes” all the time while we were living there- we’d just heat up milk on the stove (we didn’t have a microwave haha) and then put the tea bag into it! I always think of her any time I get rooibos tea (which isn’t very often, team coffee over here)

Month/Cycle: 21/22

CD/DPO: 20/8 days post trigger

Timing: hopefully good, hard to tell when I don’t know exactly when I O’d!

Typical LP length: 14-15

Testing: testing out trigger now

R/R: it was another one of those mornings at the gym where I just flopped around with no energy. That seems to be my norm now, probably because I don’t go consistently! I convinced DH to go on a coffee date this morning so I’m excited even if that means we just walk back home with our coffee and he scurries off to work

CS/Q: nope

emeraldduchess · August 2019

@b_1029 I love that you and your DH have coffee dates before work. That's such a lovely way to start the day! Yesterday I has Bourbon Street Vanilla rooibos. I already found it on Amazon and I am definitely buying it when I run out of my current decaf tea stash. I highly recommend that flavor!

mvt2003 · August 2019

@b_1029 the coffee date idea is so cute!!!!

@bows22 Still keeping good thoughts for you, and hopefully even if this isn't the cycle, AF cooperates enough to not be a complete B! Hope you have a fabulous vacation!!!!

@emeraldduchess Rooibos is so good! Also keeping so many FX for you!!!!!!

tyrion_ · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3 AL

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: Not 100% sure but maybe -1, O

Typical LP length: Usually 10 but had a 13 day LP last cycle

Testing: not sure yet

R/R: I O’d the earliest I have in months. Wasn’t expecting it and of course I was out of town this weekend so I didn’t temp or dip OPKs. Really hoping I O’d Monday because that would give us good timing.

CS/Q:

Edited to add tags:

@Bows22 I’m sorry you’re expecting AF today. I hope it at least cooperates and you can enjoy your vacation.

@emeraldduchess I thought it was Friday, too. And that’s the worst kind of surprise to discover it is not. Thinking of you as you wait for your results.

@b_1029 Enjoy your coffee date!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@bows22 - I hope AF cooperates!! It's the least it can do right? Hope the day goes smoothly and you get to moonwalk out of your office on time! Yay vacation!

@emeraldduchess - thinking of you! I hope the spotting was nothing and you get great news tomorrow!

@b_1029 - a pre-work coffee date sounds so nice and civilized, even if it's a walk date! Much nicer than me looking at Instagram and refusing to get out of bed for 20 mins while SO makes coffee

Month/Cycle: 12/11

CD/DPO: 41/15 but thinking Day 1

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Tomorrow morning if AF doesn't show up tomorrow.

R/R: Ovia is officially like "your cycle is a mess" and is just assuming I'm KU now even though I haven't tested (I always err on the side of waiting for AF to be late...which sounds like I have strong will power but is really just neurosis). This morning it was like "in early pregnancy your baby needs folic acid" - the app knows I've been trying for a year, maybe it shouldn't be saying stuff like this to me when nothing is confirmed?! Anyway still just assuming it will show up at some point today.

CS/Q: nope!

mvt2003 · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: Nope

R/R: Mobile bumping last night was horrendous. My lovetit button is gone on mobile! And the system made me log out both on my phone and iPad and would not let me log back in! Wtf!!!!

Anyway, first Patriots preseason game is tonight!! @emeraldduchess @shamrocandroll are we ready?!

CS/Q: Nope, FF is still mad at me, Femometer has agreed with my OPK on O day, so timing is still excellent.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@tyrion_ ooooh That Monday O day would give you great timing!!!!
@whitealbum29 Totally get the neurosis! FX you get answers soon!

emeraldduchess · August 2019

@mvt2003

FF is always mad at me, too. Never gave me solid crosshairs this cycle. *shrug* I don't know if the Pats game will be on in my house because, well...I married a Bills fan. LOL I'm already done with the Brady contract drama and I'd like to know what, if any, consequences are in store for Mr. Kraft.
@whitealbum29 that's frustrating that Ovia is giving you those messages! FX that AF AF doesn't show and you can test tomorrow!
@tyrion_ it looks to me like O was Monday. High-five on that timing!

Edit: spelling

m6agua · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 5/4 ( 2TTC, 2 Benched)

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: -2

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: I am expecting AF today, if not I will test in the morning. I've been getting BFN's though (9, 10, 12 DPO)

R/R: Football tonight! Also DH is working a later shift and FFC, I am excited to have the evening without him. I feel like I will be able to get all I need to get done without him in my way or pushing his agenda. We have been clashing a bit lately, a sign that AF is going to show up.

CS/Q: nothing to see.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@emeraldduchess Yeah, I'm already super sick of the contract drama! And I'm so disappointed in Mr. Kraft, I really do hope there will be consequences for that. It's not a joke.

m6agua · August 2019

@mvt2003 Mobile bump did the same thing to me last night! I'm excited for football too, but not the pats!

@whitealbum29 FX AF stays away and you are KU!
@tyrion_ It looks like you have decent timing no mater which day O was at least. FX!
@b_1029 That sounds like a nice coffee date! Sometimes it is the simple things.
@emeraldduchess FX it is implantation spotting, that is right, I am going to SS for you!
@bows22 I hope AF comes for both of us today!

sevenn · August 2019

i'm putting myself here now.

@bows22 - while it sucks to have AF at all, hope if its gonna come it comes on your preferred schedule! safe travels
@emeraldduchess - being wrong about a friday is the worst!! looove the Roobios. it's been a while since i had some!
@b_1029 - enjoy your coffee date
@tyrion_ - lookin good!
@whitealbum29 - how awful of the app to say things like that! everything crossed, tho!
@mvt2003 - add me to the Pats fan list! although not sure what of a fan I am if I didn't even know preseason started tonight... eek

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 14/3

Timing: -1, -2

Typical LP length: 14d

Testing: hopefully not til 10 DPO

R/R: for my sanity i switched FF's detector mode to OPK. i honestly have no idea. i had some EWCM yesterday but cramps are nearly gone and CP is HFC for the past 2 days. whatever. not like it'll change the reality anyway! just will make my timing worse than it should've been.

CS/Q: let's see if i can post it on mobile. still big dipper.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@m6agua Ha! At least our teams don't play each other often!! Excited for football in any capacity!
@sevenn I'll add you to the list!! I mean, it's preseason so it's not "real", but hey, any excuse to sit on the couch with MH and have some knitting time while we watch!

bows22 · August 2019

@emeraldduchess let us know when your bloodwork is scheduled! I’m excited for you!

@b_1029 your coffee date sounds so nice! The drive is about 10.5 hours so we are just breaking it up over 2 days. We are doing the majority of it tomorrow

@tyrion_ sorry for the unexpected O but looks like it worked out with that great timing!

@whitealbum29 I hope AF stays away for you!

@mvt2003 ugh so many patriots fans!! I only mobile bump so I am very happy I seem to escape the problems that others have

@m6agua yes! Come on AF!

bows22 · August 2019

@sevenn I agree you definitely ovulated, hope the next few days some clarity as to when!

emeraldduchess · August 2019

@mvt2003 my feeling exactly. The NFL doesn't have the best track record in giving consequences so who knows what they'll decide with Kraft. I do wonder if the Brady drama is meant to be a distraction. What are you going to knit during the game?

@sevenn I agree with others, O definitely happened! Hopefully FF stops being silly and gives you some solid crosshairs soon. I didn't know that preseason started today either. I'm definitely not a hard-core sports, but I do enjoy eating all the snacks. TBH I only watch the Super Bowl because it's an excuse to eat Doritos (which I ONLY buy for Super Bowl Sunday).

mvt2003 · August 2019

@emeraldduchess Yeah, I have major issues with the league's stance on consequences for actions, so who knows what will happen on this one! I FINALLY finished sleeve #2, then promptly decided I hated sleeve #1 so I frogged it and re-knitted it. I'm probably going to do the end-weaving tonight, and have to figure out what to do about a couple of ladders I have from stitch markers. Then I'm going to work on my plain garter stitch blanket.

emeraldduchess · August 2019

I called the RE and scheduled my blood work for tomorrow morning between 7 and 9. I'm so nervous and it's taking all my willpower not to POAS right now.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@emeraldduchess I'm so anxious/excited/nervous for you!!! Keep us posted!!!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@emeraldduchess fingers crossed for you!!

@mvt2003 - mobile is the worst! I wish there was an actual app for the message boards.

@m6agua - I hope you have a nice peaceful evening to yourself!

@sevenn - I hope you get clarity soon and that your timing's as good as you thought!

m6agua · August 2019

AF finally showed up this afternoon thankfully, the cramping with no blood was getting annoying.

jrouge12 · August 2019

@m6agua Uhg. I hate the days of cramping before AF. Just get the show on the road!
