    Month/Cycle: 19/13/3(AL#2)

    CD/DPO: 29/10

    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: We had a really good Thanksgiving weekend! Tons of travel, so it’s nice to be back home...although maybe not so much at work! Hope the week flies by so we can enjoy a relaxing weekend with no travel! 

    CS/Q: None, not temping in TWW.

    @kpearse99 so glad your Thanksgiving went well and your dirt dessert was a hit! Also glad the TWW is going well so far...I haven’t been crazy yet either, I really think it’s the no temping thing! We just have to make it one more week to test! Are you gonna hold out for the beta or test before? Was thinking you waited for the beta last cycle.
    @ssbl so sorry for the BFN, but it could still be early...your temp is still high!  Fingers crossed for you!Ugh, hitting double digits stinks! 😕 But yay for a snow day...hope you have a relaxing day!!

    @ssbl I know that rough feeling of typing double digits all too well 😔 I wish it wasn’t taking so long for all of us. It’s so hard sometimes but we are all in this together. ♥️

    @bluetickgal hi my dear friend! I am not going to test before the beta, at least I don’t want to do I’m gonna do my best to hold out. I’m not charting anything either, not even the symptoms, so I agree that it’s helping to not make me crazy. It’s nice to just “be”. I am so glad you and I are in this one week wait together!

    @bluetickgal Coming home after traveling is the besttt feeling.

    @kpearse99 Yeah, I feel like a monster even complaining about my tenth month because I know so many of you have been here longer and are going through such difficult obstacles. It just sucks all around. I want all of us to get the eff out of here! But I'm happy we have each other in the meantime  <3

    @kpearse99 ah friend, I’m so happy we are cycle buddies again! I hope this week flies by for both of us and we get to move on to August together...it’s already looking like a great place to be!! ☺️☺️☺️ I would try and hold out for the beta too, I’m hoping for the very best news next Monday for you! Yes, I agree with the feeling that you can just “be” and not stress about everything! Although I’ve had the itch to do the “charts like mine” on FF...but it’s pointless, because I have no data post O! Haha. 
    @ssbl isn’t it though? There really is no place like home!! Hey, don’t feel bad at all...our journeys are hard on each of us, no matter how long they have been! But I’m so glad we all have each other!! I’m so hoping we can all get out of here very soon though!!
