Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: 10-11

Testing: Another BFN. Expecting AF today or tomorrow.

R/R: It's Friday! I am surprised I am still here but happy that at least my cycle and LP are normal length unlike last month. At this point I will be okay with AF showing up so I can get my drink on this weekend, this TWW has been a mindf***. I got staffed on a new big project at work for 4-6 weeks so at least my work stress is somewhat lifted for the short term.

CS/Q:

Month/Cycle: 18/18

CD/DPO: 4dp5dt

Timing: Excellent, as it was IVF

Typical LP length: Will be a full 14 days

Testing: Beta is on 2/27

R/R: I'm sure you're all riveted by my daily cleaning updates, but last night I went to the Container Store and spent $150 on an Elfa drawer system for the bathroom closet - Everything is now neatly organized in there, and tonight I'm hitting the drawers. I also had MH order a carpet squeegee so I can really get all of the dog fur out of the baseboards this weekend. I'm really fun right now, guys.

CS/Q: Nope

mvt2003 · February 2020

@legallykate I'm glad your cycle is at least regulating! That's a big step! Also, super glad you got a new project!! My SiL is at a larger firm, and I know from her experiences how critical billable hours are!

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: O

Typical LP length: Unsure

Testing: 10 dpo

R/R: I was able to help my mom figure some things out last night in regards to her finances/housing and she is in a much better place, so my stress levels are much better today! I love my mom so much and sometimes it seems like our roles reverse, where I am the mom/caretaker and it can be hard when I can't help her like I want to. But things are looking up and she has a good plan in place now so yay for that! Also, I've been wanting to get back into journaling and I found this journaling/planner subscription called Silk & Sonder. It is a bit pricey ($20/month for a monthly journal/planner) but they are so pretty and have cool habit trackers and things! I'm excited to try it out

CS/Q: None.

@legallykate sorry for BFN but glad you have some work for now at least! Also, I can't remember, but did you recently come off of BCPs? This is my 2nd cycle off of them and the first I had a super short LP length, thinking it was probably just my cycle regulating itself still.

@mvt2003 I've heard great things about the container store! We went to Walmart a month or so ago and bought a ton of containers to do the same thing. Felt so good to do that!

asf0613 · February 2020

@mvt2003 the container store is amazing and magical! i just always find myself comparing to other stores trying to find the same things for cheaper.

@legallykate regulating is great! and so are weekend drinks!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 17/2

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: waiting 2 weeks

R/R: mvt has me thinking, i really want to get to work on organizing my home office. its turned into a storage area and while i dont necessarily need it as a workspace, i have been putting off organizing for a while. whenever anything important comes in the mail, i toss it on top of the desk and now i have piles of papers to file away, the closet is stuffed haphazardly with serving dishes and entertaining pieces and i store pet supplies in there too. maybe i will be motivated this weekend to at least get started!

CS/Q: none

legallykate · February 2020

@mvt2003 I am super jealous of your Container Store splurge. I still want organization porn!

@bserena So glad things are better and less stressful with your mom, it sounds like she is lucky to have you!

@asf0613 Your home office sounds like mine, it is also full of random non-office stuff and drives me nuts.

R/R: Happy Friday Ladies!! So my employee review went good yesterday and I still have a job 😆 My Boss said I have grown and learned heaps and bounds last year and she’s seen me do greet things. She says she thinks I still haven’t shown all my true potential and wants to work towards that. There are things I still need to work on and improve which is normal and I have some goals this month to work on so overall it was a good review.

Rant: I hate my body! I want a new one. I wish we would just buy new ones on eBay or amazon or something 😂
I started spotting brownish stuff most of all yesterday at work and then it went away all night. Woke up this am and wiped again and there it was so I’m assuming AF will be coming any time now even though she’s not supposed to come till next Monday. It’s weird and confusing for me cause I NEVER spot ever before my periods and now here I am 3-4 days before and it’s happening so I don’t get it. I’ve spotted more this month then I ever have in 20 years lol. I knew this cycle wasn’t going to be it for me anyways as I Od really late but still, it still makes me sad and disappointed 😞 I just want AF to show up so I can forget this cycle and move along.

CS/Q: None

@asf0613 lol I have a desk in my office at home too that I just toss mail and papers onto as well. I really need to stop doing that and clean it all up.

@legallykate sorry for another BFN. Hopefully AF comes soon for you so you can move to the next cycle. Hugs.

I’m happy you got some more work for the next 4-6 weeks. Enjoy your drinks this weekend.

@mvt2003 wow look at you go girl. I need your energy 😆 I need to clean our stuff to around my house and organize. Glad your having fun lol

@bserena aww I’m glad you were able to help your mom figure some stuff out. GL with your journaling. Sounds fun.

ashaislurking · February 2020

@legallykate I'm glad your work stresses are lifted for a few weeks. Hopefully that's a weight off your shoulders as you search for more billable hours.
@mvt2003 Honestly loving the cleaning updates. I need to get my organization back on track after finals! We just got a new bed frame and bedding set that I'm super excited to get inside and put together.
@bserena I'm glad the family stresses are getting better! There are times that I become my mom's caretaker because of her chronic medical problems and it can be so difficult. I can definitely empathize.
@asf0613 I don't have an office, but I have an area in my living room specifically for my coursework and I've also found my area becoming cluttered with mail and other various papers. The struggle to stay organized is real!
@mindyb2019 I'm glad the review went well and that they've recognized growth in the last year!

Month/Cycle: 3/3 (1 unbenched)
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -3, -2, +1
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: Not sure. Trying to make it through the weekend at least.
R/R: One of my friends got me sucked back in to Grey's Anatomy so I've been binge watching that on study breaks. Honestly it's helping the TWW go by more smoothly which I'm thankful for.
CS/Q: Not posting my chart for a couple days at least. Had a temp drop this morning but a large number of things can cause fluctuations. Just going to wait it out.

mvt2003 · February 2020

@mindyb2019 Glad you had a good review!!!!! Also, I'm sorry your body is being a butthead right now. Sending you

@legallykate Ha I'm still not done, I have to finish organizing the drawers!

@bserena I love the Container Store, even though IMO it's wildly overpriced. The only thing I think is actually worth the money is their Elfa line (when it's on sale a couple of times a year). The drawers are total game changers.

bserena · February 2020

@mvt2003 I'll have to check it out soon! Not sure where the closest one is to me.

@ashaislurking LOVE Grey's. I haven't started watching the new season yet because I've been too busy, but I'll have to get on that soon!

@mindyb2019 yay for a good review! Glad to hear it went well.

legallykate · February 2020

@mindyb2019 Congrats on the good review! I am with you in the WTF body camp. Spotting a few days before AF is due sounds promising though!

mindyb2019 · February 2020

@mvt2003 thanks for the ❤️ My friend. I needed that. My body indeed is being a butthead. 😝

@legallykate Yay welcome to the WTF body camp. Lol. Annoying isn’t it? I don’t think this spotting before AF is due sounds very promising to me lol I don’t know what’s going on but I don’t think it will be good news. It’s not a lot and it just spots and dribbles here and there. More of a pest than anything but ya still worries me a bit cause it never ever happens. I’ll just wait till AF shows her ugly head 😆

mindyb2019 · February 2020

Ok question for you all, is it possible to get a period on 10 or 11 dpo? My brownish spotting I’ve been having these past couple days has now turned into light pinky/red spotting so I’m assuming it’s AF. My LP is normally 12 days which means I should get AF next Monday but I guess my LP will be short this month?? And I O’d late to boot. I’m so confused 🤷‍♀️ I bet AF will start full on tomorrow so that will be my CD 1. WTF Body? Get your S*$t together 😡 I won’t be getting KU anytime soon if my LP keeps getting shorter and shorter. *sigh*

mvt2003 · February 2020

@mindyb2019 Unfortunately, yes it is possible. I've had a couple of those cycles. It actually wouldn't surprise me though if you just continue to spot pink for a day, and get closer to that 12 day mark. Technically, CD1 is when you can fill a pad, so even if it's red it has to be a full flow. Sending hugs.

legallykate · February 2020

@mindyb2019 I got mine at 10dpo last month, it was ridiculous. My LP is usually 10-11 so 9 wasn't that much shorter, but when every day matters I was not pleased. I hope yours doesn't show up full blown!

mindyb2019 · February 2020

@mvt2003 damn that sucks

Ugh I’m sooo frustrated 🤬 sorry you had a couple of those cycles. They suck. well I guess I’ll just wait and spot till I get closer to that 12 day mark and I’ll count CD 1 when I start to fill a pad.

mvt2003 · February 2020

@mindyb2019 It was bizarre, because in my entire life I had never spotted, then a couple of months ago I had like 3 cycles in a row where it happened. I think I was under a LOT of stress at that point in my TTC journey, and it didn't help! Hoping this is a one-off for you!

mindyb2019 · February 2020

@legallykate ugh, that is ridiculous! I’m sorry it came at 10 dpo last month. I feel your pain lol. I wouldn’t have been pleased either. Lol. I hope it doesn’t show up full blown either. If it does i guess I’ll be moving over to WTO.

mindyb2019 · February 2020

@mvt2003 thanks girly. ❤️ I can totally relate to that. I’m thinking this is bizarre too as I have never in my entire life spotted either just like you, I really hope it is a one off cause I def can’t handle this a few more cycles, F that! Maybe I am just stressed. I’m going to really try to relax next cycle and not stress about it all or put too much pressure on the whole TTC. it just seems to cause me anxiety at this rate so. 😞

bserena · February 2020

Question, may be dumb but oh well, does having a shorter LP effect your chances of getting KU? Or does it not really matter?

mvt2003 · February 2020

@bserena Not dumb! Not at all!

Essentially, the point where you really would have to worry would be if your LP is shorter than 8-9 days. Implantation happens around 8DPO, so as long as you get past that, you have a chance every cycle.

bserena · February 2020

@mvt2003 Oh okay, thank you!! That makes sense.
