R/R: I have a lot to get done today at work so I need to be productive. I'm pretty overwhelmed with all the travel and days out of the office at the end of the year, combined with having so much that needs to happen before year end. In happier news, I am going to a wine tasting tonight with a friend I havent seen for awhile!

@millpe friend!!! I feel like it’s been a while since we caught up! I’m sorry the end of year is always so crazy for you. I’ve been there and it’s not always fun! I hope you enjoy the wine tasting tonight! I love those so much!! Live it up tonight, you deserve it!

Timing: -4, -3, IUI + PM
Typical LP length: 14 with the meds
Testing: Betas in 4 days!! I gotta admit though I’m getting the urge to test 😬 but I wanna hold out so bad!!
R/R: I had some major insomnia last night from 2-4am again. It’s gonna be a long day, as I’m already exhausted. Also, yesterday the lower belly bloat was so bad I had to unbutton my pants 🤦🏻♀️ I can already tell it’s gonna have to happen again today haha
On a good note, my boss and both coworkers are out of the office today and tomorrow so it’s just gonna be me, myself and I in my department and I am okay with that! Work has been driving me crazy lately (not my coworkers, thankfully) and I’ve been extra annoyed there this past week so it will be good to have some alone time.

R/R: my temp was down some today. I should really stop temping after I confirm O because then I stress over every little dip. Like it’s only 4 dpo a dip doesn’t mean I’m out this month it means that I woke up 5 times last night and slept like crap and slept with a sheet instead of my normal comforter.
CS/Q: nope @millpe I never got wine tasting where you are supposed to spot the wine out. I’m like no you gave me this I’m drinking it thanks.
@millpe - Have fun at the wine tasting!! I gave up alcohol this cycle, but we have a bottle of non-alcoholic rose I may try this weekend! lol
@kpearse99 - Omg I was up the same time frame last night!! I have never had a problem sleeping until a few weeks ago!
@beckylookatherbump - I temp just so I have a record to look back on, but it's not a perfect indicator of how things are going, so don't stress out about it.

R/R: TW newborns mentioned:
My good friend had her twins yesterday! She also struggled with infertility, so I am so happy for her! I can't wait to meet them - hoping to go to the hospital on Friday!
@feather_heather I am so freaking excited for you!!!!!! I have a strong feeling a lot of us will get to graduate to our BMB soooooon! Oh please let that feeling be true!!! Are you going to test before the beta? As far as sleeping goes, I tend to wake up a few times a night but I can usually go right back to sleep after a few minutes. The last two nights have been rough, so I'm hoping it's a good sign!!
@beckylookatherbump I stopped temping for that same reason! I started losing sleep over it. Felt like it was not worth it, for me anyway.

@kpearse99 - I may test Friday morning... I don't really want to find out if I am or not while I'm at work over the phone, and then have to just text my husband. Also I feel like either way I'm probably going to be emotional, and I don't want to cry at work
@feather_heather I hear ya! I took Monday off for that reason haha I'm on the fence now about if I'll test before Monday or not... I want to but I also don't want to. I'm just so damn scared of the result!!

@millpe Good to hear from you! I can relate to your feelings on needing to be productive & feeling a bit overwhelmed w work travel. Same here. Enjoy the relaxation of your wine tasting tonight!
@kpearse99 Lucky you with the office all to yourself today! I can also relate to being soooo annoyed with work this week! But happy with my paycheck so there’s that, haha.
@beckylookatherbump Sorry about the temp drop making you doubt things. I always find it interesting the differences between those of us who are stressed out by temping & those of us who get stressed out by not temping. I’m the latter—I want every piece of info I can get, even though it makes me worry sometimes lol! At 4dpo you’re definitely not out! I always have a temp drop on 3 or 4dpo.
@feather_heather So excited to see you here too! We will all be waiting for your results with bated breath! I feel like your whole process went so fast (not sure if it felt like that to you) it’s amazing to see you already here in the TWW.
AFM, I’ve been traveling again for work so not sure how accurate my temps are. I’ve had a couple of days of cramping so SS has started early!🙄
Month/Cycle: 18/1 AL
CD/DPO: 22/8 DPIUI
Timing: -2, IUI + PM, +1

R/R: Just happy this work week is going by fairly quickly! Also happy that I’ve done all 3 days of the latest Deepak Chopra free meditation. It’s helping to counteract my negative vibes towards work right now.
CS/Q: Who knows what’s going on...I blame these temps in the travel time changes.
@keikilove is it logical for me to see/know that your first beta is when you are 13dpiui, instead of 14dpiui like when mine are scheduled, so that means I could/should totally test on Sunday? haha

Typical LP length: varies, was only 10 days last month
Testing: going to try my best to hold off until the 15th
R/R: 4DPO and my temp spiked 0.4 again and I’m all hopeful, not than I’m pregnancy already I know it’s too early but that my body is making enough progesterone to support a pregnancy this cycle!! I can’t seem to stop over analyzing everything during every TWW so this board has actually been very helpful to just talk about it with someone other than DH! Thanks gals!
CS/Q: (guilty I still don’t know what this means)
sending good vibes to every these next few weeks and hoping we will all be blessed with new life!
@millpe enjoy that wine tasting! Who knows maybe there will be no more wine allowed very soon!
@kpearse99 Try to wait for your beta! It’s so early tons of home pregnancy tests won’t pick up what a beta will and why disappoint yourself before the real test in hopes you may get a faint line! It’s coming very soon!
@beckylookatherbump Any sleep disturbance can alter your temp too! Record for stats and don’t look at ur chart again!
@featherheather hoping for your positive beta! Keep us posted!
@dawn_tay It's so hard to not over think everything little thing your see or feel during the TWW - especially that last week of the waiting! The CS/Q: means that you can post your tracking chart here for people to see/analyze or you can ask any questions here you might have!

@dawn_tay Yes, it’s awesome to have friends here to nitpick apart every little detail of this crazy TTC adventure! I’m guilty of all the things you mention. CS/Q stands for Chart Stalk/Questions. You can use it in whatever way works best for you.
@kpearse99 Hahahahahaaaa!😄 I love that you posted that about testing early. I think it’s totally normal to think things like that about testing....because I’m a test-aholic of course! AFM, my doctor was having me test at 12 & 14 dpo but that was proving problematic w low/slow results. So she’s switched it up to avoid dragging on the disappointment, I think. In the past I have kept busy testing the initial trigger shot out of my system & twice it has faded out completely by Day 9, but this time I’m giving myself hCG follow-up shots every 3 days so there’s no way to actually test it out. Those final beta results seem sooo far away!
@kpearse99 I know! I feel like I've been super sporadic with posting because life is so crazy currently, but I'm always lurking good job on holding out, even though there is no way I could! I have such a good feeling for you.
@feather_heather I'm so happy they transferred the perfect embaby!! Maybe you should save that rose for celebration when you find out you are KU 😉
@keikilove The thing about work travel is it always seems to happen the most inconvenient times!! Its definitely affecting your temps. I'm glad you are keeping up with the meditation and positive vibes. How long do you continue the hCG shots?
@dawn_tay Good reasoning behind the positive thoughts about the temp spike. Your body is doing what its supposed to do!! Yay!

I want to share my chart because I think it is looking good! I also am second guessing myself if I am really CD 25 or actually 23 because my first two days of my “period” was just super light spotting. Do you count spotting as day one of your cycle or when you start to bleed more? Share your charts with me I love looking at them and trying to interpret!
@millpe Thank you for your input on my travel temps. I can never be sure whether they’re reliable when I’m changing time zones, even when I attempt to get the same amount of sleep as at home. Let me know if you have any tricks for accuracy while traveling! Re: the hCG shots: I have one left for Nov. 10th. So the first beta on Nov. 12 isn’t going to tell me anything except how much hCG is in my body from that shot (plus hopefully from a blastocyst!) It’s the latter two tests that will let me know if the hCG is rising or falling. I’m actually already so nervous for those tests!
@dawn_tay Your chart does look good! Way to HIO—that’s a LOT of hearts girl! Personally I don’t count spotting as Day 1; I’d say you’re 23 dpo. There used to be lots of chart sharing but these daily threads have gotten a little bit quieter lately. Hopefully they will pick up again soon.

@keikiloveglad that meditation helps! I feel like I have been thinking about IF related stuff all day long, which really affects my productivity... Thinking about giving meditation a try.
@dawn_tay good luck! I have shorter LP also, yet my 7dpo progesterone testing shows that I produced enough to support a pregnancy so she is not too worried. But a jump in temp is a good sign!

Sorry I posted and ghosted today. I had a huge presentation worth 80% yes 80 of a grade for my class and I just finished it. Hints me not sleeping last night
Typical LP length: this is my first month charting, so im not sure... I'll guess 12
Testing: I apparently have an obsession with POAS and I really hate myself for it!! I know there's NO chance I'd get a BFP this early. I tested yesterday, BFN obviously, and then gave the other 2 tests to my husband to hide from me since I have 0 self control lol
R/R: we're putting a mudroom addition on our house with a small deck off it and it's coming along Soo nicely!! Hubby's doing it himself so it's taking a long time but it's so cute and I can't wait for it to be done! Right now when you walk into my house the kitchen/dining room is right there and that's where our shoes are..piles of shoes right next to my dining table lol. Can't wait for that to change!

@kpearse99 Lucky you with the office all to yourself today! I can also relate to being soooo annoyed with work this week! But happy with my paycheck so there’s that, haha.
@beckylookatherbump Sorry about the temp drop making you doubt things. I always find it interesting the differences between those of us who are stressed out by temping & those of us who get stressed out by not temping. I’m the latter—I want every piece of info I can get, even though it makes me worry sometimes lol! At 4dpo you’re definitely not out! I always have a temp drop on 3 or 4dpo.
@feather_heather So excited to see you here too! We will all be waiting for your results with bated breath! I feel like your whole process went so fast (not sure if it felt like that to you) it’s amazing to see you already here in the TWW.
AFM, I’ve been traveling again for work so not sure how accurate my temps are. I’ve had a couple of days of cramping so SS has started early!🙄
Month/Cycle: 18/1 AL
CD/DPO: 22/8 DPIUI
Timing: -2, IUI + PM, +1
Typical LP length: 10-13 days
Testing: Betas on 11.12, 11.15, 11.18
R/R: Just happy this work week is going by fairly quickly! Also happy that I’ve done all 3 days of the latest Deepak Chopra free meditation. It’s helping to counteract my negative vibes towards work right now.
CS/Q: Who knows what’s going on...I blame these temps in the travel time changes.

CD/DPO: 25/4
Timing: perfect
Typical LP length: varies, was only 10 days last month
Testing: going to try my best to hold off until the 15th
R/R: 4DPO and my temp spiked 0.4 again and I’m all hopeful, not than I’m pregnancy already I know it’s too early but that my body is making enough progesterone to support a pregnancy this cycle!! I can’t seem to stop over analyzing everything during every TWW so this board has actually been very helpful to just talk about it with someone other than DH! Thanks gals!
CS/Q: (guilty I still don’t know what this means)
sending good vibes to every these next few weeks and hoping we will all be blessed with new life!
@millpe enjoy that wine tasting! Who knows maybe there will be no more wine allowed very soon!

@kpearse99 Hahahahahaaaa!😄 I love that you posted that about testing early. I think it’s totally normal to think things like that about testing....because I’m a test-aholic of course! AFM, my doctor was having me test at 12 & 14 dpo but that was proving problematic w low/slow results. So she’s switched it up to avoid dragging on the disappointment, I think. In the past I have kept busy testing the initial trigger shot out of my system & twice it has faded out completely by Day 9, but this time I’m giving myself hCG follow-up shots every 3 days so there’s no way to actually test it out. Those final beta results seem sooo far away!
@beckylookatherbump Definitely not spitting the wine out tonight 😂
@feather_heather I'm so happy they transferred the perfect embaby!! Maybe you should save that rose for celebration when you find out you are KU 😉
@keikilove The thing about work travel is it always seems to happen the most inconvenient times!! Its definitely affecting your temps. I'm glad you are keeping up with the meditation and positive vibes. How long do you continue the hCG shots?
@dawn_tay Good reasoning behind the positive thoughts about the temp spike. Your body is doing what its supposed to do!! Yay!

@millpe wine tasting with friend sounds like a great way to relax!
@kpearse99 great that you can have some alone time in the office I am kinda annoyed by one of my new colleagues who seems a little pretentious lol
@beckylookatherbump exact reason that I stopped temping after confirmed O. Hope you have better sleep tonight!
@feather_heather Stick little embryo!
@keikiloveglad that meditation helps! I feel like I have been thinking about IF related stuff all day long, which really affects my productivity... Thinking about giving meditation a try.
@dawn_tay good luck! I have shorter LP also, yet my 7dpo progesterone testing shows that I produced enough to support a pregnancy so she is not too worried. But a jump in temp is a good sign!

Typical LP length: this is my first month charting, so im not sure... I'll guess 12
Testing: I apparently have an obsession with POAS and I really hate myself for it!! I know there's NO chance I'd get a BFP this early. I tested yesterday, BFN obviously, and then gave the other 2 tests to my husband to hide from me since I have 0 self control lol
R/R: we're putting a mudroom addition on our house with a small deck off it and it's coming along Soo nicely!! Hubby's doing it himself so it's taking a long time but it's so cute and I can't wait for it to be done! Right now when you walk into my house the kitchen/dining room is right there and that's where our shoes are..piles of shoes right next to my dining table lol. Can't wait for that to change!
