Re: TWW Weekend 10/19-10/20
Month/Cycle: 7/9
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: 9-10ish days
Testing: next Friday
R/R: it felt so nice to sleep in this morning, even it was still only until 7am 😆 I had this random dream about hotdogs last night, now the craving is strong! Let’s hope my bacon at breakfast will suffice. DH recently bought me a new mountain bike frame that he built up. Hopefully today we’ll manage to get out and go for a ride in the city. We’re a big biking family.
CS/Q: none really. This cycle my naturopath thought i could use a progesterone supplement. I’m interested to see if/how it will effect my chart. It’s an oral supplement so I don’t think it’s quite as effective as others but we’ll see. I’m having mild headaches which might be a side effect from that 🤷♀️
Month/Cycle: 13/5
CD/DPO: 65/13
Timing: -1,+1
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: 7DPO-13DPO all BFN, now WFAF
R/R: too much to even get into. BUT hoping to have it turn around with a trip to the pumpkin patch (if the rain holds off 😬) Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
CS/Q: No questions. I am discouraged knowing this cycle didn’t work and am dreading how long it will take before I’ll be able to have a TWW again. May still lurk to keep up and see how everyone is doing.
@wildeflower I’m sorry about the bfn. You are not out until the red river starts to flow!
@coffeeandcookies84 I hope that you all can get out on the bikes today! It’s not a bad day for weather in our area
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: I’m not sure maybe tomorrow
R/R: I have felt like shit since yesterday yesterday I was bloated as f and I felt nauseous. I finally had some ginger ale and that helped. Today I feel better, but not 100%.
CS/Q: Nothing much to be excited over
Month/Cycle: Jan 2018
CD/DPO: 17 / 6
Timing: -2 -1
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: probably not.
R/R: We are benched if this cycle didn't work out for the next few months. DH broke his back at work. like - really did, broken bones broke it. He was lifting something and tore out the cartilage in his chest and crushed a vertebra in his upper spine.

@wildeflower I can totally picture your spider dogs! Sounds delicious. Hope you’re able to have a good time at the pumpkin patch!
I appreciate the encouragement @blackgirlmagic - I couldn’t help but laugh at your ‘red river starts to flow’ comment. Comedy for the win! 🥰
we got rained out from the pumpkin patch, but I got a nice long nap in. Rainy day naps are pretty amazing.
Currently folding laundry and watching The Simpson’s Halloween episodes.
Month/Cycle: 25/25
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -3,-2-1,O
Typical LP length: ~14 days
Testing: Probably WFAF
R/R: This being our first cycle back in a while I ended up with a UTI from the frequent sex-ing Oh well a couple of days of antibiotics will clear it all up.
CS/Q: Not really. My temps were a little all over the place but I am thinking part of that might be related to Femara. I got a peak high on my OPK but FF is saying I ovulated the day before. Either way timing is good so now it's just waiting.
@whatsbumpinpumkin - Oh goodness! I hope YH's back heals quickly and that you all hear back from the ortho so a plan can be made!@coffeeandcookies84 - Hope it was a lovely day for a bike ride. Do you have set trails for biking or just ride around the city?
@blackgirlmagic - I hope you start feeling better soon! I hate being nauseated, it is the worst!

@whatsbumpinpumpkin oh no!! Hope the ortho consult is soon and recovery is quick for YH!
cd/dpo: 24/10
timing: -3. -1
lp: 10ish
testing: all the bfns
r/r: my interview went well, I don’t think I’ll accept the position though if offered it because it would be a pay cut and my H is already taking one so I feel like I can’t. Oh well. Guess I’ll keep looking.
went to bed early last night as I felt like garbage, so at least it was easier to wake up early today.
its been rainy which is normally fine except we really need to get our fence fixed and lawn mowed but of course H’s only day to be able to do the lawn was yesterday, and it was pouring. They can’t do the fence when the ground is wet either. Sigh.
cs/?: welp. According to FF my LP is 10 days which means af should come tomorrow. The good news is that I usually spot before Af and I haven’t yet. The bad news is that I have bfns and my temp is starting to drop. My LP might be longer this cycle so fx the spotting doesn’t start and my temp goes back up tomorrow!
@coffeeandcookies84 I’m glad you were able to sleep in! Did you guys get to go riding? I miss riding a bike all the time!!! Hope your headaches stop soon!
@wildeflower sorry about the bfns and that your cycle has been so long fx you O earlier in the next one! Hope you get to go to the pumpkin patch if you haven’t already!
@blackgirlmagic I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling the greatest! I’m right there with you!
@whatsbumpinpumpkin oh my gosh!! I’m so sorry!! I hope your husband has a fast recovery. Sending hugs!
@knb1027 hello!! The uti doesn’t sound fun but your timing is great! That’s interesting about your temps!
edit: typos
@whatsbumpinpumpkin WHAT?! I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Fingers crossed the consult with orthopedic gives you both some good news on the recovery front. I hope this is the cycle for you so that's one less thing to worry about while he recovers.
@konoha fingers crossed that at the very least you'll have a longer LP this cycle. I mean obviously it would be better to be pregnant (still a chance ya know!) But short of that a decent LP length is an OK consolation prize since at least that puts you in better shape for future cycles presumably.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 16/3?
Timing: -2, +1 or -3, O
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: we'll see. I never seem to have the willpower to not test early.
R/R: So FF thinks I ovulated on CD14 but there last day I had fertile CM was CD13. I had ovary pain CD12-14 and my sex drive normally disappears after O but it's still increased. So basically I'm not sure which day I ovulated though I'm assuming that I did ovulate. At least either way timing should be good enough to give me an OK chance this cycle.
