Re: TWW Wednesday 2/12
Month/Cycle: 15/16 including 2 benched.
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -4, -2 , -1, O, + 1
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: For a reality check if I start getting hopeful
R/R: I haven’t gotten much done at work the past 2 days. One of the guys on this audit with me has pretty much asked nonstop questions and doesn’t understand our software even though he has been at our firm for a year. It’s driving me bananas, but I sent him back to the office so that I can hopefully have a productive day. Except that I’ll be stalking @mvt2003!
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: good
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: holding out for the weekend (10 or 11 DPO) because I don’t know how I could handle either option on a work day
R/R: **TW annoying PG announcements rant**
CS/Q: I think I finally have enough high temps that even my silly anxious brain believes I ovulated
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 31/15
Timing: -1, +2
Typical LP length: 🤷🏽♀️
Testing: all the BFNs
R/R: So apparently I’m staying here longer than expected this go round. My cycle has been pretty consistently 30 days but apparently we’re changing it up this time! I was expecting spotting yesterday and AF start by morning today but I got nothing so far. Of course this doesn’t help the irrational hopefulness so naturally I tested again this AM and I swear this one was even more stark white than Monday. I need to try to chill because being annoyed isn’t going to make AF show.
CS/Q: I got nothin’
Edited because AF came out as fl... 🧐
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: okay
Typical LP length: 11-12
Testing: thought strongly about it today, but didn't this morning. Just started spotting, so AF is on her way!
R/R: We signed all the paperwork to buy a house this morning, so we are now under contract (as long as the seller also signs it). Back and forth negotiations wasnt terrible, so hopefully in a month we will be closing. Here is hoping we don't run into any issues.
CS/Q: Just an OPK question for next cycle. Normally I stop once I see one strong positive, but don't keep testing until I see a negative. Should I be doing that or just take the positive as an O? (I know a few days before that the line isn't strong, so I wait until I get one about the same strength as the control).
Good luck everyone today! Just trying to make it through this week!
Disregard.... AF showed up 😒
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 31/14
Timing: -3,-2,-1
Typical LP length: 14 days?... See below
Testing: bfn yesterday on a easy@home and 88 cent cheapie. If AF doesn't show today, ill test again tomorrow
R/R: its dreary here in TX and I am tired with nothing to do at work besides watch Downton Abby
CS/Q: if my chart says my period is due today which is 14dpo... Does that mean I have a 13 day LP or 14 day LP???
CD/DPO: 19/1
Timing: -4, -2,-1, 0
Typical LP Length: Roughly 12 days
Testing: Nope. No interest
R/R: I’m soooo happy to finally be over in TWW 😁 Felt forever and I’ve used like 20+ OPKS because I O’d late and this has been a weird confusing cycle. I have to work tonight which kinda sucks as I hate working an evening shift and having to lounge around at home on the couch and wait and then go into work for 1pm this afternoon. I get lazy and don’t want to go anywhere lol I hope the evening flies by fast. I also slept funny the other night and really kinked my neck so i look and feel stiff. It hurts to move or turn my head and it shoots down my back too. I’m hoping it goes away soon.
CS/Q: None. Don’t temp
@bows22 Sorry you haven’t gotten much done at work the past couple days. That sucks and is annoying when someone keeps bothering you. Hopefully you can get some work done.
@krystrist2014 Sorry for the BFN. I do hope AF shows up for you soon.
@legendairymomma if today is your CD 1 then your LP would be 13 days!
@mindyb2019 welcome to the TWW! I hope your neck is feeling better!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 30/ 5 DPO
Timing: -5, -4,-3, -2, -1, O, +1 , +2 , +3
Typical LP length: Don't know
Testing: BFN last night even though it was way too early, I know
R/R: Was using OPKs from amazon AND Clear Blue Digital OPK. According to Clear Blue, high fertility (high estrogen) for 9 days. Did not hit peak (solid smiley) until day 24 of my cycle... amazon OPK confirmed. My cycle is pretty much around 29-32 days so ovulating so late is a bit concerning. Supposed to get AF tomorrow (or soon) don't really feel PMS but that is probably in my head. Only 5 DPO but AF is due? Wondering if ovulating so late in cycle is going to make conception difficult.
TW: pregnancy
@mindyb2019 I hear you on the late starts. My old job started at 4pm and I just sat around trying to be productive with one eye on the clock. I would rather just get up and go. But you can all remind me of that tomorrow with my super early start time!
Not tagging you because you didnt change your name. Your LP is a steady number so if you Od late, your LP will remain the same and push your period back. Also, calm down... Its literally impossible to get a positive at 5dpo.
I am confused how you don't know your LP length if its your 4th cycle trying.
@fitzfizz that sounds so annoying, def agree that that’s a corny way to announce too
@mindyb2019 weird cycles are the worst, I feel you on the high OPK use this month lol! Hope your neck feels better!
@dobiemom11 I usually keep testing until the positive OPK fades, last cycle and this cycle I got two positives in a row, then it fades. This month I had a wonky cycle though where I had a surge but didn’t O, then surged and O’d about a week later so I had started testing again when my temps didn’t go up.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 35/ 5-7
Timing: ranging between good and not great depending when I actually O’d
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: probably Saturday even though it’s way early
R/R: I felt so foggy all day today! Been trying to lay off the caffeine a little bit, but probably would’ve benefited from a cup of coffee this morning. Happy to finally see the sun today, even if it was cloudy by the time I got out for a run. Still felt great to be outside!
CS/Q: nothing new
CD/DPO: 16/1
Timing: 3 days before O - not great but we kind of wanted to sit this cycle out and start next month since my last cycle was 72 days long, which is a first for me.
Testing: way too early, will wait until AF is late
R/R: I'm new here. Intro'ed there weeks ago and probably did it wrong. I didn't post on WTO this cycle because I was struggling with depression symptoms. Chiropractor recommended adding L-theanine to my regimen and it has helped significantly. I'm so excited about it! Usually the day after O my hormones have me all weepy, but today has been great!
@knottie3c0525a8a3c64eaa if you ovulated late, AF isn't technically due. Since you don't know your LP length, your best bet is to make your "due date" (for AF) 14 days after O. Late ovulation shouldn't be an issue for getting pregnant unless it happens every cycle and then it could signal a problem and you might want to tell your doctor. You were probably just stressed/eating different/exercising more - a million things can delay O.
