Re: TWW Monday 9/16

CD/DPO: CD19 / 5dpiui
Timing: Fingers crossed.
Typical LP length: 12-13 days
Testing: Maybe next Monday at 12dpiui
R/R: I was installing these peel and stick back splash tiles in our RV, and I am ONE SHEET SHORT (currently hiding the missing tiles behind the coffee maker). Now I have to order an entire second pack for one dang sheet.... Also would 0/10 recommend them because they are the biggest PIA to line up. On the upside, they do look okay when you're not an inch away from them.
CS/Q: I had to do an override for my ovulation date, because FF wants to put it on CD 12. I did the trigger shot on CD12, so I don't think I ovulated that day...
@feather_heather Your tiles look good! But I can appreciate how frustrating projects like that can be. Also, I know it's early, but your chart looks good!
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD/DPO: 20/9
Timing: -2, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: I tested out my trigger shot, so I decided to just keep going with daily cheap tests. No BFP yet, but it's still early. I actually like taking a ton of tests. It feels less monumental to me since I'm pretty desensitized to the BFNs now.
R/R: I've been MIA around here lately. I just had a lot going on and no leisure time. Anyway, I'm trying to do better.

R/R: Another rainy day here this Monday. ☹️ Luckily I don’t have to work today and can just lay in bed longer and take it easy 😁 Will do some running around town today and then take it easy at home. Should really work on my crochet project but not feeling very motivated to do much today lol.
CS/Q: none
@feather_heather wow. Your backsplash looks sooo good. Nice job. I can’t believe that’s just stick on tiles. Impressive. Where do you order those from?
@misshelen86 Glad you had a lovely weekend away with your DH. Sorry to hear of your best friends sister in the hospital. I hope she will be ok.
@misshelen86 I'm so sorry about your friend

@misshelen86 - Fingers crossed! I hope your bf sister is okay!
@mindyb2019 - Thanks! They're Tic Tac Tiles, and I ordered them off Amazon! I was able to order one single sheet off their direct website today to finish off the wall!
@saladflambe - Glad to see AF finally came for you so you can move on to the next cycle!
I’lll test tomorrow morning lol. We will see what happens on 12dpo.
@feather_heather Tic Tac Tiles. hmm.. cool. I like the name. That’s awesome you can get those from Amazon. Are they expensive? yay, glad you ordered more so you can finish the wall. 👍
@shoogapoff I like your attitude with testing... I may adopt this lol! fx for you!!!
@misshelen86 glad you and your hubs had a nice weekend just you two. I hope your bf's sister makes a quick recovery
@mindyb2019 I'm so jealous you have Mondays off! Nothing better on a rainy Monday than bumming around!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 - my first TWW and already the not knowing is killing me
CD/DPO: 2
Timing: -5, -4, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: ~12 - 13
Testing: Trying to wait until 10 DPO, struggle is REAL (totally won't make it)
R/R: Rave: My weekend was great! Went to AC for SIL birthday Friday night and won $250 (most I've ever won bc I never win!). Had a couple's massage on Saturday with DH followed by a sushi date as I'm hoping I won't be able to eat it for a while Caught up on some cleaning and laundry yesterday
Rant: My dog's skin started bothering him again last night so trying another oatmeal bath this evening. I hope it helps him. He kept me up all night biting/scratching (he sleeps in bed by my feet). Poor guy... I kept nudging him to stop and tried a half a Benedryl which did nothing... sleep deprivation is now back again.
CS/Q: I don't temp so it's nothing interesting, but I'll share anyway

@feather_heather I don't think FF knows what to do with the ART data yet - mine is also super confused by my trigger and progesterone. But amazing job with the backsplash, what a great idea for an RV (lovely RV too btw). Glad you were able to just get the single sheet instead of having to buy the whole dang pack.
@shoogapoff you're much braver than I am. I wanted to test out the trigger but got scared, and now I'm just POAS-averse. I've seen enough BFNs to know I can't stand to see another one. Your chart is looking really good tho!
@misshelen86 oh no, so sorry to hear about your friend's sister. I hope she's going to be ok. Glad you got that news after your weekend away so you can get the R&R you needed.
@mindyb2019 A+++ on your timing, and super jealous of your lazy day. I need that today, of all days. So tired.
Month/Cycle: 21/17
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -2, O x2 (IUI & HIO)
Typical LP length: usually 13 on the nose but the progesterone throws that off
Testing: betas on Monday the 23rd
R/R: I don't like the dog sleeping in the bed but MH lets him so I had a terrible, uncomfortable sleep after a very long day, miserable yesterday. We had to get up at 4am to start making food for a charity golf tournament but the dog woke us up at 2:45am and we couldn't fall back asleep after that. Food prep went well, then it poured rain on us all day on the golf course and it was freezing cold, I threw my back out as a result of the cold, golfed like absolute hot shit, and in the end we were tied for first place but lost in a coin toss. I felt guilty I didn't contribute hardly at all because of my back and maybe if I had made one good shot we could've won. Ah well. At the end of the day the event was a big success and everyone seemed to have a great day despite the rain. I had two glasses of wine at dinner with some Aleve and was feeling no pain by the end of the night.
CS/Q: Anyone else loving FF's little refreshed look?
Slept like crap the last few nights so didn't bother temping.
