Re: TWW Monday 11/25
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: good
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: not until af is late
R/R: since last cycle was a cf, I’m not sure how long this wait till be. Ff says that I should get my period Thursday. That would be dpo 16 which seems super long. My breast are larger and a little tender so I’m assuming that my period is on it way.
CS/Q: not temping during tww. 😊
@blackgirlmagic I hope AF never comes 🙂 but if it does at least you will have an idea of your LP
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 24/10ish
Timing: Work trip so just okay
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Tomorrow since I have my RE appointment, but I’m not expecting anything.
R/R: I don’t know exactly when I ovulated but we either hit the tail end of O or missed it completely, so I really don’t think I’m going to get a surprise tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll still be disappointed, but at least I have my RE follow up to look forward to. In non-TTC related news, this short week is already too long and it’s only 8 AM on Monday!
CS/Q:
@bows22 I know what you mean! How does it feel like the week is already a thousand years long and it isn't even lunch on Monday yet! Fx for a miracle, but if not I hope your RE appointment goes well!
Month/Cycle: 36/35
CD/DPO: 30/18
Timing: ER Nov 7, Transfer Nov 12
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: Beta is tomorrow
R/R: Repeat of IF comments. People keep asking me if I'm pregnant. I spoke openly about IVF to help remove the stigma around infertility, but I regret it now. DH was right. If people know something big is going on in your life, that is all they will ask about. I should have learned that from the wedding. I have been telling the people who know that no matter what the result of the beta we are keeping it to ourselves for a bit. That way if it is good news we can enjoy it just us two. If it is bad then it will be our sorrow.
I will have an answer one way or another tomorrow. If it is negative, I am buying amaretto and egg nog. If it is positive, I will have to get a pregnancy cookbook from the library. I tend to have bad habits when I'm tired.
CS/Q: -
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 19/4? FF says O was Thursday, Flo says it was Friday, and Ava says it was Saturday... The temps look like Thursday or I guess maybe early Friday to me.
Timing: I always think it’s good, but it’s never been good enough, so who knows. -5, -2, O, +2? We were trying for every third day this cycle, but TTC paranoia didn’t let it play out that way.
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: Prob Sunday because I’m insane.
R/R: We’re having Teachersgiving with my department at school today, and obvi I made stuffing, so I got to eat a little yesterday when I was cooking, and I’ll get to eat more today. It’s a good week. (But I agree with @bows22 that it’ll be a long short one...)
CS/Q:
@blackgirlmagic FX those symptoms are not AF indicators!
@bows22 I hope you get some clarity (if not a surprise) at your RE follow-up!
(Edited for formatting because phone)
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 9-10 days
Testing: not sure
R/R: I had a super vivid dream last night that I was KU. That totally means I’m preggers, RIGHT?!! (way kidding)
CS/Q:
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Not testing
R/R: my face broke out, my boobs hurt and yesterday I was so snippy all day. Ah, PMS, you hooker.
CS/Q: I haven’t been consistently temping in the TWW.
@blackgirlmagic I hope your period doesn’t come and you have an extra special Thanksgiving weekend!
@bows22 Good luck tomorrow! Praying for your miracle 💗
@meri-mac Have you not tested at all?! Your restraint is incredible.
@ssbl love/hate is the perfect way to describe the TWW. Enjoy your Teachersgiving!
@kmalls I had a dream that I had six kids once so hopefully dreams are not prophetic!
@tyrion_ Everything crossed that the witch stays away!
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope
R/R: Happy Monday! Remember that no matter how stressful these 3 days are, it's a short week that ends in pie and shopping!
I'm spotting away over here, no hope really for this cycle, just keeping going! Tomorrow is my physical, which I need to have done before my RE appointment, so I'm glad I've got that. I got some good cleaning done this weekend, and I got some nice knitting time in. I'm going to be busy prepping to be out of work for a few days, which will be a nice distraction I think.
CS/Q: Nope

@bows22 Hoping you're a unicorn, sweet friend, but I'm there for you no matter what. Will be checking in to see how the appt went!
@meri-mac I totally empathize, which is part of why I've dragged my feet on telling anyone about my RE appointment. I hope the questions stop being so intrusive
@ssbl omg stuffing sounds amazing!
@kmalls Hoping your dream means something!!
@tyrion_ Hugs, friend. I'm getting my PMS symptoms too and they suck hard.

@meri-mac I was so excited this morning thinking that your appointment was today! And I love you for staying strong and not testing. Now I’m extra excited for you tomorrow! *TW child mentioned*:
@ssbl I think Thursday looks right! Or early Friday like you said
@kmalls I’d totally take that as a sign too! Every time I have a dream that I start my period, I wake up and it’s true, so that’s pretty much the same thing right? Haha
@tyrion_ PMS is such a bitch! I almost prefer AF because I feel like my emotions mostly return to normal other than the not being KU sadness.
@mvt2003 I’m glad you have so many distractions! You are so right that this stressful week will be worth it!
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: Pretty good.
Typical LP length: 14-16
Testing: Will test 12/8 so I can stop progesterone if I’m not KU.
R/R: I go here now, so that’s definitely a rave! We had a really good weekend with family visiting and I’m very happy that this is a short week! FF gave me CH’s yesterday for Thursday, but I thought that seemed weird since I got a +OPK on Friday. Waited it out and it changed O day to Friday this morning and I started progesterone!
CS/Q: None.
@bows22 I hope you caught O and are pleasantly surprised tomorrow (I want it so bad for you)! I hope your RE appt goes well regardless though! Yes, how do short weeks feel longer than regular ones? It makes no sense!
@kmalls @tyrion_ Oh, the dreams... My former boss came to my classroom today to tell me he had a dream that I was pregnant (with a boy) and then left immediately. Cool, thanks.
@mvt2003 Ugh, sorry for the spotting. Keeping busy is the way to go.
@bluetickgal Hooray for O!
@bows22 love you, my friend!! Can’t wait to hear the update from your results appointment tomorrow, but I’m hoping for a 🦄 for you!!!
