Re: TWW Monday 9/16

  • Month/Cycle: 13

    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.

  • @feather_heather that backsplash looks professionally done & amazing!

    @shoogapoff fingers & toes crossed - are you sick, though? 99 is a high temp!

  • @feather_heather Your backsplash looks awesome! So does your chart.. it actually looks like mine haha. FX this means good things for us. 

    @shoogapoff That’s a big jump in temp there. Sorry about the BFN, but hoping it was just too early for you. 

    Month/Cycle: 13/13

    CD/DPO: 22/6

    Timing: -4, -2, -1

    Typical LP length: 12-14 days

    Testing: Next Monday if I can hold out that long...

  • @saladflambe @misshelen86 I tend to have pretty high temps. MH half-jokes that I'm cooking my eggs and that might be my problem. 99 is a little higher than normal for me, but it definitely has happened. 
  • @misshelen86 I'm so sorry about your best friend's sister. That's scary! Is she nearby?
  • Morning Ladies. Happy Monday! 

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0, +1

    Typical LP Length: 14 days

    Testing: No. WFAF (trying to be patient) lol 

    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. 


     
  • @mindyb2019 omg I'm dying...I need you to test... :D

    @misshelen86 I'm so sorry about your friend <3

  • @shoogapoff - You're chart looks good - fingers crossed! I kinda wished I tested out my trigger shot, but I don't think my heart could handle seeing a positive test everyday and knowing it was fake. So now I'm going to have to wait the full 14 days to test. 

    @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!
  • @saladflambe 😆😆😂


    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. 👍




  • @feather_heather The tiles look amazing!!!  You did an awesome job!  Yay for Amazon being flexible!  Where would we be without Amazon?!?  

    @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  <3

    @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  :D  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.

  • @ziggymama06 haha 😆 you kill me too. I will definitely test early tomorrow morning before I go to work. Bout time I tested anyways haha 😂 I’m sure it will be a BFN but I’ll do it lol. I feel your dogs pain and his skin bothering him lol. 😉 poor guy. I hope his skin stops itching etc. Sorry he kept you up all night. I love having Monday’s off. 😁 bumming around is the best on rainy days. Agreed. Oh and yay, finally glad your in the TWW now. Welcome 👋 

    @kiki047 thanks. Ya I was pretty proud of my timing this cycle yay 😊 lazy days are great. I’m lounging on my couch right now watching a movie on Netflix. Sorry your so tired today. Wow 4am is an early day. High five to you lol ✋Hopefully you can come home and relax for the evening and actually get some sleep. 
  • @kiki047 The BSC in me needed to test out the trigger, because inevitably, every month I convince myself that my pregnancy tests are defective and that's why I'm getting BFNs (like I wouldn't figure that out really quickly!) But when they were positive post-trigger, it was a confirmation that BFPs are possible.
  • @shoogapoff omg so I'm not the only one that's convinced that maybe 100% of my tests are clearly just defective... except that AF comes every month anyway soooo... cryptic pregnancy? :lol: 

    @mindyb2019 anything but relaxing this evening making MH clean the house with me (because we have a new house cleaner starting tomorrow, therefore we must clean the house before they come :lol:  Yes, I'm that kind of crazy).
