Re: TWW Thursday 2/6
Month/Cycle: 14/16 including 2 benched.
CD/DPO: 17/2 - an estimate but I’m pretty sure I ovulated so I’m moving over
Timing: -4, -2 , -1, O, + 1
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: We’ll see
R/R: Yay for my first TWW since November! I feel like we did all we could timing wise, so now we just sit back and see what happens! I would like to post some October hype but there’s a chance I may not be welcome there now 😬. Just want to add that it’s always obvious who has lurked before posting and gets it. Anyway, glad to be over here with you ladies! I have a busy day today and a couple of clients to visit but hopefully I’ll have time to pop by in between
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: okay
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: WFAF, but with Valentine's Day next week, maybe a little early
R/R:. Have been lurking only for a few days. My DH was sick and yesterday I just couldn't get my butt in gear. Just stayed in bed most of the day- depression kinda sucks! Super busy day today with car appointment, therapy, and a work meeting later this evening. That should keep me busy and hopefully out of my own head. Hoping all the timing works out to get successfully from one place to the next on time. People don't know how to drive in the rain.
@bows22 Yay for being in the TWW! Excited that you are here! I think your post was very respectful but firm. I agree about the safe space and support of the TTGP board!
I think having a reason to get out of bed is critical to my success. Like...you need to shower and be somewhere. Not the best situation, but I am working on it.
@dobiemom11 I sincerely hope I have not painted a not so welcoming vibe for you here! This is very much a safe place! Keeping busy is often the best medicine to keep our thoughts at bay, isn't it? I hope your day goes fast and that your get a good therapy session in. I hope it helps you find some comfort and peace. I'm proud of you for getting out of bed this morning!
Month/Cycle: 16/14/4 (AL #2)
CD/DPO: 28 and 13 dpiui
Timing: As good as you can get it with an IUI
Typical LP length: Not sure since I'm on progesterone
Testing: Beta day is tomorrow... not sure how I feel about that!
R/R: We splurged and bought new bed sheets. The kind that are more breathable and are good for hot sleepers (like myself). I still woke up a lot last night (a lot on my mind mostly) but I wasn't overheated!! So that's a win in my book! We have another set, from another company, coming tomorrow so I'm excited to try those out too and see the differences. I'm just looking forward to hopefully getting a better nights sleep if I'm not waking up to rip covers off of myself thanks to hormonal hot flashes!
CS/Q: not charting!
PS - @bluetickgal is it Friday yet?!

Month/Cycle: 5/8
CD/DPO: CD25/ 12dpo I believe (I just started using FF and my period dates I’ve been tracking I realized I didn’t always have start and end
Timing: pretty good this cycle.
Typical LP length: still up in the air with these crazy cycles
Testing: I want to wait because usually I test and then I get my period the next day but I’m feeling antsy so I may test this morning.
R/R: feeling a little overwhelmed in trying to learn all the lingo and timing but it’s been so helpful. Rant is this stupid app! It used to be so good now it’s so glitchy.
CS/Q: using FF but not doing charting other than entering period stuff so far
@kpearse99 new sheets are always awesome
We have two great horned owls that have taken residence behind our house. They are so loud they woke me up a few times but it was really cool listening to then

@kpearse99. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. Thinking and cheering for you!
Also about these sheets? My DH has a sheet that he has had since college because he gets so hot while sleeping. We were just talking about needing to find another one for him. What brand and where did you get them from?

@kpearse99 I do not think you make this an unwelcoming vibe at all! It was very clear even as a lurker that you in particular are a very welcoming and positive person. You were always the person who enthusiastically congratulated all the TTGPers in the BMBs who had not been here long enough to post in the grad thread. I was even thinking the other day that I hope you get your BFP tomorrow and blow up the grad thread, but more than that I hope that all of the short term TTGPers come back and congratulate you, because you are awesome. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, I hope we get to join you in October

R/R: Still rainy here, but now they are calling for snow tonight!! I’d be happy if I thought it was enough to close work...but I think it’ll just be enough to make the drive in to work tomorrow morning a sloppy mess! Oh well, such is life! @kpearse99 bahahaha...it is not Friday, but it is what DH and I like to call “fake Friday”...it wants to be Friday so badly, but just can’t quite cut it! 😂 We are so close though!!
CS/Q: None, not temping in TWW.
@bows22 Yay...so excited to see you over here, friend!!
Yes, so obvious when people lurk and get it...and then when people don’t!! 🙄 I’d say hype it up...October would be lucky to have you, and hopefully they get a few more of us soon!!
@dobiemom11 I’m so sorry you haven’t had the best past couple of days! I hope getting out and about today will help! Same here...people are worse at driving in the rain than they are with snow/ice here, I just don’t get it!
@kpearse99 oh, I’m glad your new sheets seemed to work well! I hope your second set is just as good! I think splurging on something you sleep on every night is totally worth it!! Also, I have everything possible crossed for your beta tomorrow!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@allthingscozy sorry for the BFN, but hopefully it was just too early! That’s interesting about the owls...I would probably think that was cool for approximately one morning! Haha.
@krystrist2014 yay for coffee and a much smoother morning so far!! Also glad the rest of your day yesterday ended up going much better than how it started!

@kpearse99 This is my favorite part of the TWW. Just happy the sex is done and thrilled that I have a chance at October. Those sheets sound amazing! We bought a new comforter that we thought was lightweight and we keep waking up hot. Maybe we need to check out these sheets!
@allthingscozy ugh I’m so sorry for the BFN!
@krystrist2014 you probably just missed it!
@bluetickgal ohhh I hope you get a snow day from work! Or that it’s not as bad as they say. That middle ground of snow where the roads are bad, traffic is a mess, but you are still expected to be at work is the worst

@dobiemom11 depression does suck! I hope your busy day helps keep your mind at ease and not preoccupied with negative thoughts. We're here if you need us!
@kpearse99 I'm sure the beta tomorrow comes with a lot of mixed feelings. FX for good news for you! And yay for new sheets. I hope they help get you a good nights sleep!
@allthingscozy the app has been super glitchy lately. Like for the past few weeks. I've pretty much given up on the app and just use TB on my computer now. Also, so sorry for the BFN.
@krystrist2014 Yay coffee filters!!! Glad you had a better morning this morning.
@ttcbabyodo trivia night sounds fun!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 after 3 years during round 1
CD/DPO: 28/9-ish (based only on CM)
Timing: decent
Typical LP length: unsure
Testing: WFAF (expected 2/15)
R/R: Rant - My therapist appointment yesterday wasn't the greatest. I didn't feel like we talked about anything new to me and it was already stuff I know. I dunno. I usually leave there feeling at least a little better and I actually felt worse when I left. Maybe I was putting too much pressure on myself.
Rave - Despite the crappy appointment, I still made it to the gym last night and did my yoga after. Now my legs are jello, so we'll see how yoga goes today. And I'm supposed to run tonight. Eek.

@krystrist2014 I'm not sure why I am so incapable of remembering to buy coffee filters, but I've had to go out as an emergency at like 10pm more than once. This is why I load the coffee maker every night before bed, to prevent it happening in the morning!
