Re: TWW Tuesday 11/26
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 25/11ish
Timing: Work trip so just okay
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: BFN as expected. I feel okay about it so I’m glad I didn’t get hopeful at the last minute like I thought I might.
R/R: Not being KU this cycle means I’ll get to drink on our anniversary vaca to the Bahamas in a couple of weeks (this was an impulse decision after one of my many BFNs earlier in the summer). I was sure I’d be pregnant by this trip, but we booked an all inclusive anyway just in case. I’m so glad we did that now! I would much rather be pregnant but this is an OK silver lining this month. This is the last silver lining though so I’m going to need for this to happen soon haha. My RE follow up is this afternoon so I’m excited to get some answers finally.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 9-10 days
Testing: as long as I can possibly hold out!
R/R: yassss DH is officially on vacation and it’s glorious. I can hear him in the kitchen downstairs and I’m hoping he’s making breakfast. I cleaned the house like a mad woman last night so I wouldn’t have to do it later and I’m reallllly looking forward to relaxing this week!
CS/Q: still hanging out above the CL, so...hooray. Small victories.
Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD/DPO: 16/2 dpiui
Timing: Great! -4, -3, IUI + PM, +1
Typical LP length: last medicated cycle it was 13 with spotting starting on 12 dpiui but I’ll be taking progesterone this cycle so 🤷🏻♀️
Testing: beta on 12/9!!
R/R: Yesterday at work was insane and not the desired outcome we all wanted but overall there were many positives to the day and I got many compliments on my trainings and how well prepared everyone felt so I’m happy with that!
Only 2 more days of work! I’m so hoping we get to leave early on Wednesday though!
CS/Q nope! Not charting this cycle 😅

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 31/13
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: Unsure
Testing: I’m still here and I’m feeling the itch. Maybe Friday?
R/R: My period is expected Thursday, according to ff. My breast are still tender, but I know things can change at a drop of a dime. I keep on checking for brown stopping but nothing yet. I’m thinking I should start to see some Wednesday. I’m telling myself that to wait till Friday. And I’m thinking for this cycle or a future cycles, I need to buy some test and just hide them so my husband doesn’t see them. So many decisions to make.
CS/Q: Not temping and it’s great!
@kpearse99 thank you! I’m glad you got some nice recognition for your hard work! The client that I’m at this week said they are going to close early on Wednesday so I’m excited to leave early too!
@blackgirlmagic thank you! That’s great to know about Nassau. I think thats the general area we are going to. I’ve never been so I’m not totally sure but that’s the airport we are flying into! Your restraint from testing is impressive! I hope you get great news whenever you do test!

R/R: I’m having Friendsgiving today and am excited to have something to keep me distracted and lift my spirits.
CS/Q: I stopped temping this TWW.
@bows22 Sorry for the BFN. I hope the follow up goes well and you get some answers.
@kmalls a Enjoy your week!
@kpearse99 I hope you get to leave early tomorrow, too!
@kmalls I love when husbands help around the house on days off!!! The best!
@kpearse99 Ugh I'm so sorry yesterday didn't go quite as you hoped, but I know you did your best work possible, so I'm glad for that for you. Hoping the rest of this short week goes ok!
@blackgirlmagic I love not temping during the TWW, it really makes me less crazy.
@tyrion_ Is it weird that I'm actually glad AF hasn't quite shown up yet for me since it means we're basically on the same cycle again? Asking for a friend

Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope
R/R: Still spotting, delightfully this means AF will absolutely join us for Thanksgiving this year. Also equally fun is the fact that I have a sinus headache and a muscle knot in my calf. Just going to breathe deeply and try to make it through the day. Our physicals are this afternoon, so MH is freaking out with anxiety, I'm trying to just get through today.
The bright side is that as of noon today I'm off until next week!!!!! Wooooo!!!!!

CD/DPO: 23/4
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: Another busy morning, but at least I’m able to post a little earlier today! I’m so excited that I only have one more day at work after today! We have lots of travel over Thanksgiving, but hopefully it won’t be too bad! I’m getting my hair cut after work and can’t decide if I want just a trim or to get rid of several inches. I only go about every 6 months...so I kind of think I want something more noticeable!
CS/Q: None. I’m following the trend of some of you all and not temping the rest of the TWW! Can’t decide if I want to stop tracking RHR as well...I can obsess over that and it’s not even as big of an indicator as temp I don’t think.
@bows22 sorry about the BFN. It's great you have been able to manage your expectations. I got stupidly hopeful at the last minute and then I felt like a complete idiot when I saw the BFN. 🤦♀️
