Re: TWW Weekend 9/28-9/29
Month/Cycle: 5/5 AL
CD/DPO: 18/6
Timing: -1x2, O, +1, +3
Typical LP length: 12ish days
Testing: Not testing. PMS creeping in.
R/R: The Halloween party was so fun! And we caught a glimpse of Serena Williams’ family! A few of my friends got to see Serena while I was on a ride. In case you’re curious, she was riding Splash Moutain.
Rant: wtf temp? Am I going to start spotting even earlier with this damn drop? Fingers crossed it was because I only slept 2.5 hours before I temped.
CS/Q:
Working this weekend, so taking my mental health Bump breaks!
@tyrion_ I love seeing celebs at Disney, although I've never seen one while I was there!!! I also adore the Halloween party! That parade is my favorite!
Month/Cycle: 13/13
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope
R/R: I'm starting to feel a little PMSy - irritable, etc. so I do not think this was the cycle. I'm spending my weekend wading through 10+ years of contracts for work, so that's a nice distraction I think.
I did have to clear out some of the junk in my home office last night so I could have a place to work. It's been kind of nice. I used to work from home in my previous job and that job got so toxic I could not even stand to be in my home office anymore. I think we're due for a nasty winter here in New England so maybe it's for the best that I get this desk situation worked on now. I do have a girls' dinner tomorrow, hoping that's more fun than painful!
CS/Q: Nope, stopped temping

@tyrion_ I’m glad you had fun at the Halloween party!
@mvt2003 boo for having to work all weekend. I hope your girls dinner is a nice distraction!
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 26/4
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Typical LP length: idk
Testing: going to hold out as long as possible but this is also about the time when I become a crazy SS person.
R/R: well the weather turned to crap so it looks like all our fall plans are on hold! Probably gonna wander around Target and buy things I do not need instead.
CS/Q: no
@tyrion_ That sounds like so much fun! I guess you guys get celeb spottings pretty frequently being at Disney, huh? Anyway, maybe implantation dip?? Or maybe just a fellow oral temper?
@mvt2003 Sorry to hear that you’re working this weekend, but glad you got some space cleared to get it done. I totally associate places with feelings, so I’m glad you’ve got your home office all sorted out now!
@chaos-and-coffee nooo, get yourself together, weather!! Maybe target can help you decorate inside the house since you guys already got outside covered?
Month/Cycle: 17/1
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: ahhh not yet. I can’t decide when!!
R/R: SIL texted mh and me this morning asking if we were free to talk today. Lol, those words never sound good. Tw: others’ lc
CS:
@tyrion_ boooo PMS. I’m sorry. I’m glad you had fun at the party, and that’s really cool that some of your friends saw Serena!
@mvt2003 sorry you have to work this weekend, that’s super lame! I hope you have fun tomorrow night!
@chaos-and-coffee Target wandering is one of my favorite weekend activities!
@begging4abump wow it sounds like you have a prettty emotional weekend lined up. I hope today’s session is able to give you peace!
Month/Cycle: since 11/2017, 26 cycles I think
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: -3, -2, IUI on O day + HIO at night, +2
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: probably on the 10th if no AF, I WFH on Thursdays so would be able to process a BFN
R/R: I’m too hopeful about this IUI and am worried I’ll be devastated if it doesn’t work. I’m just ready to be done with waiting. I was feeling really positive and then one offhand comment from a guy at the gym this morning (who doesn’t know me at all) about how I’m so lucky I don’t have kids and get to enjoy life just crashed me back down again. I said “I wouldn’t say that” and basically ran away but luckily my BFF is awesome and said something to him after I was gone...so booya 😂
CS/Q: it ain’t pretty (edited chart)
@mvt2003 I hope you are just irritable because you’ve had a lot going on. That’s a good idea about getting your home office set up for the winter. I like to work from home at least for an hour or 2 until they can get the roads clear. Do they even clear the roads in New England haha?
@chaos-and-coffee our weather was gross this morning but then cleared up so I hope yours did too!
@begging4abump I think your guess about what they want to talk about sounds right, but I’m sorry that you feel like you might not be up for it. Are you catholic? I don’t want to pry too much into your situation but I’m having my own struggles with the Catholic Church currently but I’m trying not to let it affect my faith if that makes sense?
@b_1029 I’m too hopeful about your IUI too and am also going to be devastated if it doesn’t work so I’m no help 😂. Are you testing out the trigger again?
Month/Cycle: 10/11
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -2,-1,O,+1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Not sure yet.
R/R: Rainy day here today. (Edit - I took so long to post that it is no longer rainy) DH is golfing (kind of far away so hopefully they are having better weather) and I’m sure he is going to be tired when he gets home so we will probably just have a relaxing night in. Tomorrow we are going to our last baseball game of the season! We have had a season ticket package for the past 4 seasons but we are giving them up for various reasons. I’m sure we will still go to games in the future but it won’t be the same.
CS/Q: so much for not temping haha
Can I just be hopeful and see we’ll all meet again in the June BMB?

@bows22 yes, catholic. Ugh, that phone call was ROUGH. BIL converted over recently, so he’s ALL about it. He said he’d pray for me and that he had someone I could talk to. He was acting like he was joking, but it felt like it was really how he felt too. 🙄 I hope you enjoy the game tomorrow!! Pirates? I do love how all the Pittsburgh teams have the same colors.
@mvt2003 I’m sorry you’re working this weekend. The parade was awesome as always. They made some changes from the previous few years so that was nice to see. And the new fireworks show was amazing!
@begging4abump I’ll be thinking of you over the next few days. Between testing, your discussion with SIL and giving your dad that letter, you have a few heavy emotions coming your way. Big hugs!
@b_1029 I don’t have many things to say except I hope that dude dropped a weight on his foot after you left.
@bows22 I don’t usually get too amped up for celebrities but Serena is one of the greatest athletes on earth and I was totally looking crazy searching to catch a glimpse of her on the ride. Have fun at the game tomorrow!
@chaos-and-coffee I am right there with you on crazy SS during the TWW. But for some reason I’m pretty calm this cycle. Probably the spotting with this random temp dip (maybe mouth breathing?) has me feeling out.

Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
Baby #2 due June 12, 2018
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 17
Timing: I THINK I ovulated on the 15th day, so I think our timing was -4, -2, O, +1 ...or all of those -1. More exact tomorrow (should get crosshairs then)
Typical LP length: not sure.
Testing: Probably 8 or 9 DPO. I am not patient like y'all.
R/R: Just feeling a bit bleh about my body image right now. I've been eating a LOT...and kind of like crap, and the scale is up a few pounds. Going to try to do better at least til the scale goes back down lol.
