Re: TWW Weekend 9/21-9/22
Month/Cycle: 27/22
CD/DPO: 36/11dp5dt
Timing: bad
Typical LP length: just looking forward to AF in a few days
Testing: negative 😢
R/R: sadness comes and goes. I think I've already decided I don't want to go home for Christmas or Thanksgiving. If anything I'm okay with just my immediate family *TW*
But DH's family.... If we do anything with them I think I just want it to be his parents. My SIL and her BF drive us up the wall and I really want to be able to manage my stress and anxiety during this time. Last time we had dinner with the 4 of them, the BF was in the middle of talking about something and it was really irritating me to the point that I whispered to DH that I'd rather go home than have dinner with everyone. It stresses me out that much. I might really consider finding a decently priced fitness band that also monitors blood pressure because the stress I experience from the BF being around gives me the feeling of my blood boiling.

@intothewoods23I’m sorry for your negative. I am sending so many hugs ❤️
I’m so sorry you’re not doing well with some family members rn, but I’m happy for you for setting your boundaries and deciding to get some space from those people. My sister is the one that drives MH and I both up the wall. Luckily she lives several hours away and we don’t see her often, but at holidays it’s a struggle. We’re not very good at setting boundaries with her though.
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 31/16?
Timing: decent
Typical LP length: 13/14?
Testing: N
R/R: Well, I didn’t make it until Monday. I had a dream that I got a positive and woke up so pumped. Took the test and womp womp ... oh well. I have had a 31 day cycle before, but if it’s any longer I’m going to lose my mind.
My BIL & SIL are in town this weekend and we adore spending time with them. We’re spending the day with them today and then going to a show together tonight.
CS/Q: nothing here
