Re: TWW Tuesday 10/8
CD/DPO: 31/4
Timing: -2, -1
Typical LP length: 11-13 days, based on last cycle
Testing: maybe Monday, if at all.
R/R: DH and I were both falling asleep watching TV on the couch early last night and ending up going up to bed at 8:30. I swear every time that happens though, I always get a second wind and am awake for awhile in bed. I think I was asleep around 9 though. No regrets. 9 hours of sleep was exactly what I needed.
CS/Q: CHs moved this morning with my temp but I'm sticking with when FF told me I O'd yesterday. I don't know what to believe with my chart at this point. My timing is probably better with the new CHs but I don't expect them to stay where they are today.
@gingermama29 that’s awesome you got that much sleep!! I fell asleep on MH on the couch last night... and then again when we went to bed 😬 I LOVE early bedtimes hahaha gah I’m so old!
Month/Cycle: 12/10 (AL)
CD/DPO: 25 / 8 dpiui

Testing: betas on Monday! Less than a week away!
R/R: Not too much going on. Work load should be on the lighter side today and then dinner date night with the hubs before he goes to a golf committee meeting. I’m already ready for the weekend though lol
CS/Q: Ehhh temp dipped this morning... First time temping so I’m not fully sure what that means but i suspect it means AF is on her way?

@kpearse99: yay less than a week and I’m no temping expert but I believe implantation causes a dip too

@beckylookatherbump thanks! I hope sore boobs is just a symptom of being KU for your and AF stays away!
@kpearse99 enjoy your dinner date! Only 6 more days to go! That temp drop could definitely be an implantation dip.
@beckylookatherbump fx the cramps and crankiness are KU symptoms and that AF stays away!
Month/Cycle: 5/3
CD/DPO: 36/14
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: well I’m still here so, not yet. At my appointment yesterday my pcp wanted me to take one but I convinced her otherwise - I wasn’t in the mindset for a BFN and then having to go back to work. Not to mention I can POAS at my house for free and at the office it’s like $75. No thank you.
R/R: my rave is that I love my pcp. I just went for a physical yesterday but she answered all my ttc questions and assured me that having a long cycle is okay - it’s just on the higher end of average. Despite it feeling like 8,000 years. My rant is that I’m tired and grumpy and my boobs hurt, so I think AF is on her way. FF predicts tomorrow, so. I had cramps this morning and thought for sure it would start but nothing.
CS/Q: no.
I know exactly what it feels like to have those long cycles. You are NOT alone in the "feeling like it takes forever" waiting game. If AF is surely on her way for you, then I hope she arrives ASAP so you can end this long cycle and finally be able to move onto the next cycle.

@kpearse Often a temp drop like that could mean AF is coming. If it rebounds tomorrow, it could be an implantation dip!
@chaos-and-coffee Are you testing after work?!
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD/DPO: 13/1
Timing: -3, -1, O (the last two are IUI and Clomid made me ovulate extremely early. Our timing is usually even better, but i had a big fever yesterday and we left it at that. I’ll take it.)
Typical LP length: eh, all over the place
Testing: progesterone test on 10/14, beta 10/21
R/R: I hate when sickness messes up my chart temps!!
CS/Q: probably have the flu, so the extreme spike isn’t so accurate

I have zero energy today and have no desire to do anything whatsoever ☹️ I don’t know if it’s our weather that is making me tired or the fact that I have been fighting a little cold for a bit. I really want to go back to bed 😴. I hope this day doesn’t drag.
CS/Q: none
@kpearse99 I hope you have a good dinner date with your hubby. Sounds nice.
@chaos-and-coffee sorry your tired and grumpy. I hope AF comes soon for you so you can move forward from this long cycle. $75 bucks to POAS? Holy crap. Ya no thanks. 😳
@beckylookatherbump sorry your boobs hurt and are feeling cranky. Seems like everyone is grumpy/cranky today lol. Also, sorry your feeling sad this cycle and had high hopes. Hugs ❤️
@gingermama29 man going to bed at 8:30 sounds nice lol. that’s what I need to do tonight haha. I hit like 9pm lately and I’m already tired and ready for bed. 😆
@chelsea-marie2 I’m Canadian too. 👍

@chaos-and-coffee thanks. I sure hope me being tired is a good sign. I guess I’ll find out.
@NYTino24 mine happened that way last time. I was like wow I had a huge temp increase after O. Ended up having a 103 fever lol.
@kpearse99: I hope so but feeling a little defeated today. Took at test this am and was negative so confirmed my feelings. I know it’s still early though. Fingers crossed for you to have better luck!
@mindyb2019 I hope the exhaustion is because you're KU!
@gingermama29 - yay for super early bedtimes! Every couple of months my body just demands that I go to bed at like 8 or 9 one night and I know I need to listen. But I usually get a second wind at like 4am too!
@kpearse99 have fun on your dinner date! I hope the temp drop was implantation!!
@beckylookatherbump - so sorry you're feeling like AF might be on the way
@chaos-and-coffee I'm glad you had a positive dr's appt! I hope your symptoms are KU signs and not AF signs!
@NYTino24 I hope you don't have the flu!

Also had a dream about being KU and finding out the sex but it was kind of a weird anxiety dream at the same time so I don't know if that sounds like one of those good omen dreams I've heard some women have when they are KU!

R/R: Still trucking along here. I took another test yesterday after stalking the June 2020 board, impulsively. And still not KU. Ha. I’m not ashamed to admit it to you ladies. Temp dropped today though almost to cover line so I’m expecting af anytime today or tonight. The weather has been glorious here the past couple of days; the highs have been the low 70s, and I’m really just hoping more cool weather is on the way. I’m enjoying not sweating to death while outside.
CS/Q: either my LP phase length is longer, my crosshairs aren’t accurate. I don’t know. 🤦🏼♀️
@gingermama29 it’s always nice going to bed early, but I’m the same. I normally can’t stay asleep or wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep. Hopefully you get some clarity with your chart soon!
@kpearsr99 I hope you have a good date! I wouldn’t assume it was af unless it stays low, especially since your only 8dpo. Maybe your body is just realizing it isn’t supposed to be so hot! 😂 but I hope that it’s an implantation dip!
@beckylookatherbump I hope your boobs are a fluke. Or it’s a sign that your KU!
@chaos-and-coffee I’m glad you were able to talk her out of it! That’s insane that it costs that much! But healthcare is so aggravating. I hope you get clarity soon!
@nytino24 I hope you feel better soon! That’s aggravating! Especially after IUI.
@mondyb2019 sorry you’re feeling tired. I hope that’s a good sign for you!
