BFP 2: October 07, 2019
EDD 2: June 20, 2020
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 39/13
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1
Typical LP length: unsure
Testing: can't decide if I'll try testing again or just WFAF
R/R: we're heading to my parents' house and spending the night. This is the last time we'll see them until Christmas because they're snowbirds and will be heading down to their Florida home in a couple weeks. I selfishly hate that they live in Florida for half the year because I don't get to see them but I know how much they love it and how much healthier they both are because of it, so I'm also happy for them. I'm looking forward to seeing them and my brother and SIL who are also coming today.
I also saw my midwife yesterday. She said if I wasn't KU in 6 months with everything I'm doing for TTGP, to call their office and they'd refer me to their OB/GYN for help.
CS/Q: my temp went up this morning and it's messing with me and my attempts to stop SS.
@saladflambe it’s always nice to wake up to already started threads! By “a potato” do you mean baked?
@gingermama29 oh man I wish you would test! And I totally get your mixed feelings about your parents in Florida. How far away is that from you?
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: -3,-1,O,+1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: BFN yesterday, I’ll test again tomorrow (and I have a lot of wondfos so probably tonight when I get home)
R/R: At the lake today! We will probably go on the boat and hopefully just relax. I did have someone in my firm email me yesterday that a client is looking for a draft of a report that I need to review, so I’m going to have to do that at some point this weekend but I think I should have enough time tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!
CS/Q: I forgot my thermometer and yay I slept in an extra 1.25 hours
Good morning, ladies! I'm sorry I couldn't keep up with this thread yesterday. It was the first full day of school, I had a school event at 5 then another event right after!
Month/Cycle: 13/12/2nd cycle AL #2
CD/DPO: 28/10(according to me and not FF)
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 12-14 days (when not on progesterone)
Testing: next week
R/R: Well, I survived the first two days back at school! The real test is next week, though. I get to relax a little this weekend which is nice. Rainy weather is the perfect excuse to stay in and read/knit/drink all the tea. The missing package was delivered yesterday, so I'm relieved I don't have to file any claims with the USPS!
CS/Q: I was really crampy last night, which was discouraging. I haven't even had cramps the last few cycles! I am also so bloated it's embarrassing.
@gingermama29 have a nice time with your family today!
@bows22 relaxing out on a lake sounds sooo perfect right now! Enjoy! You deserve it, I know how stressful work has been!
@bows22 yes a baked purple potato with butter. yummmm lol. Sorry for the stupid BFN And boo on stupid work. But yay for sleeping in!! I love sleep....almost as much as I love 6am potatoes.
What kind of tea do you like @emeraldduchess?

@saladflambe do you think you’ll track with bbt or OPKs next cycle? Sorry if I missed you mentioning that.
@gingermama29 Fingers crossed for you! Hope you enjoy your visit with you parents.
@bows22 I hope you get some relaxation and a BFP at the lake!
@emeraldduchess When are you betas next week? I’m glad your first two days went well.
Month/Cycle: 4/4 AL
CD/DPO: 21/9
Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1
Typical LP length: 12-13 lately but I’m thinking it’ll be 10 this cycle.
Testing: Not testing, WFAF
R/R: I started spotting last night. So it looks like I’ll have a shorter LP again. My charts were looking too consistent lately so my body threw me another surprise.
CS/Q:
@tyrion_ I’m sorry for the spotting! And that your body is being weird. Im not expecting a BFP but I’ll be at home when testing, we are driving home tonight. I am weird and always want to wake up at my own house on Sundays. I feel more prepared for the week that way. I may have control issues haha
@saladflambe That sounds like heaven. Even the potato. lol I’m assuming you mean a baked potato?
@gingermama29 I’m sorry your parents are leaving for a while. I hope you guys have a good stay! Your chart looks good! I hear you so much on SS.
@bows22 sorry about the bfn, I hope you have a relaxing day at the lake.
@emeraldduchess I’m glad your package showed up! That would have been a pain. Enjoy your weekend before it gets really crazy next week!
@tyrion_ sorry about the spotting and that your body is being frustrating.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 29/13 or so FF says. I think it’s actually 11-12
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: WFAF probably
R/R: Fair season has officially hit town, so I’m thinking about going to the rodeo tonight with TW: a friend and our boys END TW. I don’t know if I can talk DH into going though. His parents used to drag him all the time and he isn’t a fan. Tomorrow we’re going to take the boat on the river and fish, and try to soak up this last few weeks of summer while we can! SS has officially taken hold, I’m feeling a little crampy today, so not super positive. I try not to get my hopes up though, and always do. 💩
CS/Q: all over the place.
@saladflambe Sorry for the BFN. I'm trying to decide whether to track next cycle; are you?
@gingermama29 My parent visits are always equally stressful and fun; hope yours is/was great.
@bows22 Verrrry jealous of your lake trip. Fingers crossed for you! I feel you on wanting to be in my own house on Sundays; Mondays are hard enough without the discombobulation of travel right beforehand.
@emeraldduchess Fingers crossed for you on Friday!
@tyrion_ Spotting is so maddening. It can mean anything or nothing. Grrr on your behalf.
@photographerwife I have fond memories of going to the rodeo as a child, but I haven't been in years. Hope it's fun!
@saladflambe I hope that coffee was marvelous. I'm certain coffee is magic. Enjoy!
@gingermama29 Enjoy your family. Hopefully you'll get KU well before the 6 month mark. FX for those temp rises!!
@bows22 Enjoy the lake! But you should have kissed your work goodbye for the weekend. Don't work too hard!
@emeraldduchess Next week is the real test in school! Enjoy the rainy weather getting pumped up! I'm nervous/no where near ready for next week. I say forget the cramps for now, your chart looks good!
@tyrion_ Sorry about the spotting. Bodies are stupid sometimes!
@photographerwife I've never been to a rodeo. I do like fairs though! Have fun if you do go.
I'll try to check in again when I can we're leaving the wifi safe zone soon! I know I could never live permanently off the grid. How would people go on TB?
@photographerwife lol yeah I wound up having 2 baked purple potatoes w/ butter as my breakfast ...but I had a chicken sausage later to even it out. #balance

@emeraldduchess have you ever done one of those tea parties at a tea house where you get your own personal tea pot? I love love love doing those with friends/my mom... I love tea. I have an electric kettle for when I get into a tea swing (I rotate between coffee and tea).

@saladflambe thanks!
@tyrion_ sorry for a shorter LP and spotting.
@photographerwife ugh the SS is the worst. I hope your can talk YH into going to the rodeo tonight.
@litigatorgirl thanks! I'm fortunate to have a really close relationship with my parents so I always enjoy visiting.
@jrouge12 thanks. And I agree about living off the grid. I could never do it!
AF has arrived for me, right on schedule. Looks like I was right about O - take that, FF! I’m sad to be missing out on yet another amazing BMB but we will just have to make June the new place to be??
Edit - my above comment is only for those who are out for May. I’m rooting so hard for the rest of you, and you’d better not follow me to WTO!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: CD29
Timing: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
Typical LP length: idk
Testing: BFN.
R/R: My uterus feels like it's trying to fall out of my body (cramps). I wish AF would just start at this point. I started trying to temp this morning, but I don't think I was asleep enough & was overly hot.
CS/Q: Next cycle.
