Good morning to all 3 of you in the TWW right now, haha!

Month/Cycle: 13/4 AL

CD/DPO: 35/9

Timing: (a whole bunch before it mattered)... -6, -4, -2, -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: Hoping to hold out until Saturday

R/R: I woke up at 4:30 (because I can't sleep until my 5am alarm anymore apparently) feeling crampy this morning, and got a mix of nervous/hopeful feelings. Turned out it was just gas, I think. Winnie had puppy class last night and did well. She mostly just needs to work on not trying to jump/bounce all over everyone. Also, she's getting sheared tomorrow. It's gotten to the point where she can't see her training treats, and it's making some of the recall work really challenging, haha!

CS/Q: Apparently 4:30 gives me an open circle, but 4:35 is okay. Anyone know what they use for a time cutoff from your usual time for that?

@shamrocandroll - Our pup is getting a "Spaw" day on Friday. He's a german shepherd/collie mix, so he has long "pants" as we call them, and he needs a hygiene trim, so I decided to go all out and get him a bath, brush, nail trim, and puppy cologne. We got him last year from a rescue we follow on FB who liberated a 40+ dog hoarding case in Tennessee. He spent most of his life feral and eating gravel, so he has no front teefs, but he is cute as heck. So, I want to spoil him. Not sure about your CS/Q about time for the open circle. I just know that FF hates that I sleep in on the weekends.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -6, -4, -1

Typical LP length: 15ish days

Testing: FF wants me to wait till Sept. 1st

R/R: As grumpy as I was on Monday, I'm in a much better mood today. I think it's because we had some rain overnight, so it was almost Fall-like when I went for my morning run. Still hot as heck, but cloudy and still kinda dark out, and you could smell the petrichor (rain smell) along the running trail. I can't wait till the weather cools off, so I can go on longer runs. In this heat, I'm only good for about 3 miles.

CS/Q: Nope

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@ttcbabyodo Awwww "spaw day". He sounds so cute! And yes, we had a lab/aussie mix up until last year (he was 13.5) and I 100% know what you mean about "pants" hahahaha! We called him Fluffybutt when they got bad. In the winter, we would have to get him sheared down to avoid the snow dingle berries that would stick to his butt and legs.

Your pup sounds cute. Did you share a pic of him in the furbaby thread already?

shamrocandroll · August 2019

Also, thanks for the new vocab word @ttcbabyodo! "petrichor"

babyodo · August 2019

@shamrocandroll - No I missed the furbabies thread, but here's a pic of him. His name is Wicket, and the vet estimated him at 6 years old, but I think he's younger than that. He acts more like he's 2-3 years old.

feather_heather · August 2019

@shamrocandroll - Is winnie the puppy in your profile photo? So freakin cute!
@ttcbabyodo - I am so excited that fall is right around the corner! Kudos to you for running in this heat all summer!

Month/Cycle: 12

CD/DPO: 39/3???

Timing: No clue, because I have no idea when I ovulated?

Typical LP length: 12-13 days

Testing: Going to wait till Monday to call my RE for a blood test because I'm confused.

R/R: I'm not into working out, but I bought an intro pack of classes for Btone Fitness and I have my first class tonight and I'm so nervous! lol

CS/Q: FF changed my ovulation date this morning from CD22 to CD36? Lord take the wheel, because I'm so over this cycle.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@ttcbabyodo Oh my gosh, he is so cute! I considered the name Wicket for Winnie, since she looks like a fluffy teddy bear. I think our last dog has some border collie in him too, and he was crazy hyper up until he was like 8 or 9. It's hard to guess their age sometimes!

misshelen86 · August 2019

Morning ladies!!

@shamrocandroll Keeping FX that the cramps aren’t just gas! Glad Winnie is doing well in her puppy class.

@ttcbabyodo Sounds like a beautiful morning for a run! Glad you’ve gotten over the grumpies now.

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 23/9

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

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Maybe later today (once I’ve slept) or tomorrow

R/R: Soooo ready to crawl into bed after doing a few night shifts. I probably won’t do too much today but I’d like to get a workout or some yoga in. It’s fall weather here today, which makes me a bit sad because I love summer so much and don’t want it to be over!

CS/Q:

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@feather_heather Yes, that's Winnie at 6 weeks old. She's almost 6 months now and can't see because of all the fur in her eyes.

Here's a more recent pic:

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@misshelen86 TMI, but I pooped and now I feel much better.

I hope you have a great sleep and a restful day!

babyodo · August 2019

@shamrocandroll - We were initially told that he was a german shepherd/golden retriever mix, since most of the other dogs that they rescued in this case had gold or white faces. In fact, Wicket and (who we think is) his older brother were referred to as the "dark faced dogs" when they were in the process of capturing them. We just thought he looked so unique, and like he had a gold Batman mask on, lol. We did a Wisdom Panel DNA test, and the results were german shepherd, collie, keeshond (like a large pomeranian), and jack russell terrier. I know those tests aren't 100% accurate, but it explains a lot as far as his behavior goes. He gets bored easily, and he's barky with outsiders passing by the house (but doesn't bark at us or the 3 other dogs we have), and he gets all bouncy when he gets excited for stuff.

*just here for the doggos*
😍😍😍😍😍

kiki047 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll ahh, nothing like a good poop to start your day off right

loving the Winnie pics. Pls post an after-shot once she gets her haircut! Can't believe how much lighter her coat gets when it's that long. Is her undercoat still golden like her puppy coat? Also, dingleberries

@ttcbabyodo "petrichor" eh? Ooh you fancy.

Oh, and your pupper is sooooo cute! I like his little ear tufts.
@feather_heather Go home FF, you're drunk. I'm still gonna go with CD27 as your O date. Do you track CM or CP too?
@misshelen86 Hope you get some rest! I do love summer but fall weather is so nice. I need another 2 weeks of summer for my veggies to mature tho, haha. Pretty please Mother Nature!

Month/Cycle: 20/16

CD/DPO: 21/6 or 7

Timing: At best, -4, IUI on either -1 or O, and possibly a +1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: maaaaybe this weekend if I'm feeling brave

R/R: Rant: I went to the dentist this morning to have some old fillings replaced and the left side of my face is still frozen solid 3.5hrs later. I feel like I've had a stroke. Me no likey. Also, studying sucks and I'm terrible at it.

Rave: It's a beautiful day, I picked a few more things from the garden today (a few beans, I have one little pattypan squash that's almost ready, tomatoes are looking good, jalepeno peppers are coming in, etc). And I successfully seeded a dead patch on our lawn that is coming in and I'm stupidly proud of it even tho it's just grass hahaha.

CS/Q: Nah, nothing new to see today, refer to yesterday's update.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@kiki047 It's gotten lighter for sure, but she has darker... low-lights(?) on her ears and streaked through her tail. Which day are you thinking of testing? I'll probably try on Saturday. Trying to make it to 12 DPO.

kiki047 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll probably Sunday, hoping the trigger will be out of my system by then.

m6agua · August 2019

*lurking from WTO*

@shamrocandroll I believe FF cut off is 29 minutes. So if you temp 30 minutes from your usual time then it will do an open circle, but 29 minutes is ok. I have noticed it will change your "usual time" based on all of your temps, maybe it takes an average? That I am not sure.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@m6agua Hm, interesting. Thanks! In that case, it should probably just change my usual time to 4:30 because I never get to sleep until 5 anymore.

misshelen86 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll Glad you feel better after your poop!

@kiki047 Good job with the lawn! I hate that feeling of a frozen face.. that seems like a long time for it to be still frozen. Hope it’s all good now. Enjoy the rest of the beautiful day!

@feather_heather Have fun with the workout! Not sure what’s going on with your cycle.. do you use OPK’s or track CM? CD27 could be a possibility too?

shoogapoff · August 2019

@shamrocandroll @kiki047 We can have a pee party this weekend! FX soooo hard for both of you!

@misshelen86 I hate working overnight! I take forever to feel like yourself again. Kudos to you for considering exercise!

@feather_heather Good luck at your class tonight. I love group fitness classes, but I definitely understand the anxiety leading up to them. I hope you have fun!

@ttcbabyodo Your puppy is so cute! I love that you called it a "spaw day"! And I am right there with you on FF being mad at me when I sleep in on the weekend.

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD/DPO: 18/7

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Saturday

R/R: I haven't been participating in the dailies lately, mostly because I don't have much new to say. But I love hearing everyone else's updates!

CS/Q: My VIP membership finally ended, and I'm waiting until I get a BFN to renew it.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@shoogapoff Eeek! Good luck! I still don't entirely understand what the VIP got me that regular didn't , but I'm probably doing it wrong. Mine expires soon too...

shoogapoff · August 2019

@shamrocandroll I just like VIP for being able to compare things about past charts, and see other people's charts. You can do that to some extent in the free version, but have more options with VIP.
