Timing: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

@saladflambe Sorry for all the BFNs but going to bed at 7 sounds amazing right now.
AFM, I’m just waiting around for my period to fully start. This spotting for a few days nonsense is annoying.
@saladflambe that much sleep sounds amazing
@tyrion_ sorry for the spotting
Month/Cycle: 23/25
CD/DPO: 24/13 post trigger
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: idk. maybe never. the stark white test yesterday (was still doing the trigger) plummeted what little hope I had
R/R: see above. I'm not in a great place and haven't been for a while. I don't know how to fix it. In better news, I very very loosely got DH to say he's fine with the IUI next cycle but he didn't seem very excited about it so who knows.
CS/Q: nope.
Edited- grammar
I'm sorry you're not in a good place @b_1029 - I wish I knew what to say, but I really don't other than it sucks, and I'm sorry

Month/Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: 25/8? I've been tracking sex and cycle days but nothing else so just guessing.
Timing: no idea really but I think we did ok.
Typical LP length: 15ish
Testing: BFN this AM. Could definitely be too early.
R/R: **TW! CP mentioned**
Anyway, I'm back but definitely taking a laid back approach and not tracking temps CM or OPK.
CS/Q:
So sorry @tyrion_ my spotting finally turned to CD1, I thought it would be a relief just to know, but I'm still kind of a mess.
@b_1029 So many hugs, friend. I know it can't be fixed, but I'm here for you.

Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 30/11??
Timing: eh
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: bfn yesterday
R/R: We had a good weekend, we did a lot thankfully. It helped distract me from all of this mess. We went to the rodeo Saturday night and to the river to swim/fish/boat yesterday.
CS/Q: I discarded my day 16 temperature because dotted crosshairs and my LP has been exactly 12 days since May when I started tracking. FF is more confident with this O date. But I don’t know. That would mean I didn’t ovulate until 3-4 days after my first peak OPK? And it made my timing semi crappy. But based on that my period should start tomorrow and that feels right.
@emeraldduchess FX for you! Enjoy the concert. I always loved choir!
@saladflambe sorry about the BFNs.. I hope you have a better week!
@tyrion_ sorry about AF coming..
@b_1029 I’m sorry that things have been hard for you lately. I hope the IUI is successful and that you and DH feel better this week.
@simplejane FX for you!
@emeraldduchess - Thinking good thoughts for Friday! Your temps look great!
@saladflambe - so sorry about yesterday's BFN.
@tyrion_ - ugh yeah you could do without the spotting for days on end! Annoyed on your behalf.
@b_1029 - I'm so sorry and sending you lots of creepy internet hugs.
@SimpleJane - So sorry about the BFN and your CP.
Month/Cycle: 13/12

Timing: unsure
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: nope
R/R: So we had our appt with my OB/GYN on Friday afternoon, sorry I went quiet all weekend! (putting in spoiler just b/c it's kinda long) -
Other than that had a nice relaxing weekend and I started a new book that I like! It's called Year of Wonders and it's about the 17th century plague in England. I'm already excited about this coming weekend, we're going apple picking.
CS/Q: nope
@saladflambe - sorry for the bfn
@b_1029 - i hear ya on the rough place. at least DH is loosely on board?
@photographerwife - i had a stupid cycle recently where i didn't O until 3-4 days after peak OPK. sucked!!
@whitealbum29 - glad you had a good conversation and reviewed options with your gyn
