babyodo · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -6, -4, -1

Typical LP length: 15ish days

Testing: FF is telling me to hold out till Sept. 1st.

R/R: I tried mobile grocery ordering yesterday, and it went surprisingly well. Except...I had typed in "8" for how many bananas I wanted, and didn't realize they were listed by weight, so I got 8 POUNDS of bananas. In case you were wondering, 8lbs comes out to roughly 20 bananas, give or take for size.

CS/Q: None

@ttcbabyodo: OMG! That's hilarious!

Month/Cycle: 12

CD/DPO: 38/16

Timing: -1,-2

Typical LP length: Usually 13 days

Testing: Two negative tests - One today at 16dpo and one on Saturday at 13dpo

R/R: Rant: So this month was my second Clomid month, and was supposed to be my second IUI. My doctor ended up cancelling my cycle on CD20 because my follicles kept going up and down in size and then were gone at CD20 and they thought I may have ovulated (even though my labs didn't indicate that I did). Long story short, I'm now on CD38, possibly 16DPO and no period, with negative tests. / Rave: We recently bought an RV on a seasonal site on Cape Cod, and Friday will be our first weekend down there! Excited to relax, go to the beach, and start planning out decorations for the rv!

CS/Q: Do temps still go up like this for an anovulatory cycle?

Where the heck is everyone!? Normally if I waited until almost noon to do my daily, I would stand zero chance of ever being caught up. I feel like everyone is graduating without me.

@ttcbabyodo Ummm, that is hilarious. I hope you guys really like bananas. At least you can always make banana bread with the rest?

@feather_heather I'm so sorry for the BFN and the confusing cycle! Your chart looks to me like it was ovulatory. Did you do any OPKs or track CP? That's awesome about the RV on the seasonal site, though! Did you buy the RV and put it on the spot yourselves, or buy it that way already? I love the Cape!

AFM...

Month/Cycle: 13/4 AL

CD/DPO: 34/8

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: Starting to feel really anxious, but trying to hold out until this weekend

R/R: I had to have a difficult conversation with my boss today about unintentional sexism. I know he didn't mean harm by it, but he made a comment to our new 22 year-old female engineer, and it bothered her enough to come confide in me that he said it, so I felt like I needed to bring it to his attention so he can be more aware in the future, and so he can be more effective to her as a leader. It was a difficult conversation, but he was very receptive to it, and I genuinely think he will make an effort to do better in the future.

CS/Q: The super sore boobs kicked in by this time my last 2 cycles, and so far so good this cycle. I'm really hoping that's a good sign, since that's apparently an early indicator of AF for me now (and makes me SS every time).

@ttcbabyodo OMG LMAO to the 8lbs of bananas. Hahaha I live in fear of accidentally doing that online. Also, Sept 1st feels like light years away (where did August go?!?!).
@feather_heather that's really weird about your follies disappearing, and now your long-ass LP with no good explanation. Sorry about your BFNs

It's entirely possible you could've O'd around CD27 too, which would make you only about 11dpo. I find the temp rise isn't as pronounced with Ava bracelets as it would be with a BBT (at least from all the charts I've seen). Do you have any other follow-ups with your RE coming up? If your LP is usually around 13 days I'd wait another 2-3 days and see where you're at.

Month/Cycle: 20/16

CD/DPO: 20/5 or 6dpo

Timing: At best, -4, IUI on either -1 or O, and possibly a +1 if I O'd when I think I did and not when FF thinks I did

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: Welp. I don't like POAS, I haven't even been able to test out my trigger (have missed like 4 out of 6 days) but if I make it that far I'll test before my beta on Aug 29.

R/R: I screwed myself over leaving one of my exams too long because of the wedding and now I had to schedule it last minute on Thursday and I'm sooo not ready for it. FML. My rave is that Humpy and my cats are making some progress in their socialization, they sniffed noses this morning (he was on a leash) and he didn't go bonkers and try to chase them, and the cats didn't hiss or swipe at him. YAY! It's taken us years to get this far. I'm sure it won't last long, he's good in the mornings because he's not really awake yet. He's a nutcase in the evenings.

CS/Q: Sure, why not. Keeping in mind I'm on progesterone so my temps could be a little misleading.

I personally think I O'd on CD15 based on O pain but FF wants CD14 or nothing, so ok we'll go with that.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@kiki047 I'm so happy you're back to participating in the dailies again! I missed you! That's so cute about Humpy and the cats! I can relate to being relatively good in the mornings because I'm tired, and getting progressively more crazy throughout the day.

feather_heather · August 2019

@shamrocandroll - I did not get a positive OPK this month (gave up testing a few days after the doc cancelled my cycle because I had already used like 20 sticks this month testing lol). We're super excited about the RV! We've never been campers or owned an RV, but the opportunity presented itself, so we decided to take a chance! We bought it from my aunt and uncle, so it is already on a site, with a deck, outdoor furniture, and most of the kitchen stuff we'll need! That stinks about having to have that difficult conversation, but it sounds like you did the right thing and everyone will be appreciative that you did that!

@kiki047 - Yeah, I'm planning on waiting a few more days till I call my RE and ask for a blood test and possibly provera. I was out of town last week, and my doc was nice enough to do my follow up appointment via phone. He is going to up my clomid dose next cycle and see if that helps my follicles grow better. My cycles seemed to be more regular and my temps were easier to track before I started clomid.

That's good that the dog and cats are starting to get along! My dogs are like arch nemisis of my parent's cat, and a fight always occurs.

@ttcbabyodo guess you'll need to make some banana bread!

@shamrocandroll did somebody say... MAY BMB?? 😎

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@inthewoods23 That just prompted me to search for JT GIFs on Giphy, and OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE! I can't wait to use it on the next Peggy!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@inthewoods23 OMG and this one!!! Ded.

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll yeesss perfect!

kiki047 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll we must've been typing at the same time, sorry I missed your post earlier. Glad I'm not the only one SS, but I'm only like max 6dpo and on progesterone so my symptoms mean nothing lol. But obviously my huge temp drop yesterday and the bit of spotting I had = implantation, because that's how it works, right?

@feather_heather that was nice of your RE to do your last appt over the phone. Mine would never go for that. He only gets paid if I'm IN the office so he calls me in for every little thing. FX you won't need the provera.

But srsly, where is everyone? They can't all be in WTO?

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@kiki047 Yes, that's 100% how it works. See @inthewoods23's GIF above. IT'S GONNA BE MAY!

kiki047 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll I thought of you when I took this picture. Managed to distract Humpy with a bully stick last night so we could have some privacy

but he was being obnoxious afterwards, post-snack zoomies I guess? So I said to him, “I dunno what you’re excited about. You know a bully stick is literally a bull penis? You just ate dick.” MH was dying laughing from the bed and this was Humpy’s reaction:

*ded*

*lurking from WTO*

@shamrocandroll - wow that's so impressive that you had that conversation with him! That is not easy to do. I bet the new 22 year old looks up to you a ton!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@kiki047 Ah-hahaha. Wait, but are they really made of bull penis? 😂

kiki047 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll yup, there's a lot of misconceptions about what they are because sometimes it says they're just high protein beef muscle, when really it's the pizzle or penis of a bull.
