Month/Cycle: 16/18 including 2 benched

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -4,-2,-1,O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Later this week

R/R: ugh it’s only Tuesday?? Yesterday felt about a week long 😂. Hoping for a faster day today but I don’t want to get out of bed! We’re supposed to get bad storms today which always makes me uneasy when DH isn’t home. But I’m sure it will be fine, they never really get too bad here (knock on wood). Have a great day everyone!

legallykate · April 2020

@bows22 I had one of those Mondays too, I think I jinxed myself by saying it didn't feel like a Monday and I thought my work week would be slow, fail lol. Hope the storms don't get too bad there today!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 19/4 (FF and Femometer and Ava now all say O was on Friday and not Saturday so I am going with it, even though it makes our BD timing worse )

Timing: -5, -4, -2, O, +1

Typical LP length: 9-10

Testing: Still waiting for 4/14

R/R: I started yesterday in such a good mood but by the end of the day everything was seriously irritating me. Hoping for a better day today. We did finally get a much needed grocery delivery yesterday and DH is going to make something yummy for dinner tonight (either meatloaf or chicken with bacon and mushrooms) so at least I have that to look forward to!

@bows22 yesterday did feel like a week long 😂. I’m sorry you are supposed to have bad storms today. Hope everything is fine and they aren’t bad!

@legallykate your timing is still pretty good. I hate when I shifts! Sorry you had a difficult day emotionally yesterday and hope today is better those dinners sound awesome and yummy!

Month/Cycle: 6/10

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -4,-2,0 so not great

Typical LP length: still regulating

Testing: idk trying not to test too early maybe this weekend or early next week. I’m not feeling real hopeful about this cycle and just want to spare myself tearing woes

R/R: It is a rainy day here and 3 of my 5 clients cancelled today ugh. I’m trying to just focus on that I get more time to relax tonight which is nice. I’m thinking of making smothered grilled chicken breasts with mushrooms and onions and maybe trying my hand at baking bread this afternoon. I have always wanted to try and found my yeast packets. Have any of you made bread before and have advice for a beginner?

Month/Cycle: 6/4(AL)

CD/DPO: 21/3

Timing: -5(x2), -4, -2, -1, 0

Typical LP Length: 9-10 days

Testing: Nope

R/R: I'm trying to stay hopeful about this cycle despite what the doctor said to me yesterday. I have another blood test I have to go have early this morning before work. My DH and I started watching a few episodes of Tiger king. It was alright. Wasn't a bad show. I thought it was interesting, but I just dont understand the whole big hype about it??

CS/Q: none

@stillcozy sorry its raining and that lost of the clients cancelled today. Mmm.. your dinner sounds delicious. I love chicken with mushrooms. I love the smell of fresh bread. Yes, I've made bread before a few times. I cant really give you much advice as my bread usually turns out too dense lol. GL.

@legallykate sorry that your were irritated by the end of the day yesterday. I hate when that happens. Glad you were able to get some groceries. MMM meatloaf sounds sounds soo good. I hope you enjoy it. Hope you have a better day today.

@bows22 I agree. Yesterday did feel a week long haha it felt never ending 😆 ugh, I dont like storms either when my hubby is around. I hope it doesnt get that bad for you. Enjoy your day.

kpearse99 · April 2020

@bows22 I woke up feeling like it was Saturday or Friday.... the realization that it's only Tuesday was soul crushing!!!

@stillcozy I actually think your timing is great still! Spermies live for up to 5 days and doctors actually recommend HIO EOD because it helps the man build his supply back up for stronger swimmers.

@mindyb2019 I think the big hype is that these people are insane rednecks and the things they do and get away with is CRAZY!!!

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: Jan 2018

CD/DPO: 10 / 2 - Short cycle this month I guess. Confirmed by both temping and an OPK so I am reasonably sure this is right, but will keep checking.

Timing: -2, 0

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: not for awhile.

R/R: I was able to hire someone to do the landscaping at our house - I am SO excited. I figure it should be safe, since he'll be outside, and we'll stay in. DH and I are both essential - My pay will end up cut by about 30% but he just got a 50% raise from switching jobs back in Dec, so we'll be okay. And I know we are helping a local family ride this out until unemployment / stimulus hits in a couple weeks.

CS/Q: Nope.

@mindyb2019 I haven't seen it yet. I read the description and it seems... disturbing.
@legallykate We were able to get a wal-mart to-go last friday! We have also been doing "Dinnerly.com" one of the food delivery services. Honestly - it's the only way we got meat for a couple of weeks. We also love "misfits market" - we've done it for about a year!
@bows22 We got nasty storms last week. It wrecked our back yard, and we are still trying to repair some structural damage to a few things. Not the house, thank goodness.
@stillcozy Our timing is the same, so I am hoping it works for you... Lol!
@kpearse99 I am so burnt out from work right now. It's been crazy

stillcozy · April 2020

@mindyb2019 fingers crossed for your blood test today!

@kpearse ❤️

@the_road_to_oz we will both be hopeful then haha. Glad you were able to hire a landscaper that sounds exciting! We hired a company to help with our yard maintenance (fertilizer, weed killer and such) for the same reason supports the company and they are outside and will just stay inside so they have space too.

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

@stillcozy DH broke his back last october, and was diagnosed with early onset osteoporosis... I figured it would cost us less to hire someone than have DH try to do the yard work, and end up getting hurt. He fought me on it, then finally agreed.

stillcozy · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz so sorry to hear that and so glad he finally agreed! I’m sure that would have been really hard on his back.

bluetickgal · April 2020

Month/Cycle: 23/17/7 (AL#2)

CD/DPO: 20 something...

Timing: Meh...basically every 3 days.

Typical LP length: 15-16

Testing: Probably around 4/16 to stop Progesterone.

R/R: Happy Tuesday!! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! All good here...work has been busy, but passing the time fairly quickly! Happy that we have nice weather again today before rain hits!

CS/Q: None, stopped tracking early.

@bows22 sorry your week is going slow so far, hope today goes by much quicker! Hope the storms aren’t bad today, I think we are supposed to get some overnight as well! 👎🏻 From yesterday...way to go on advocating for the possibility of 4 day weeks through the end of the year, that’s awesome!

@legallykate sorry your O date changed, but you still have great timing!! Oh...either dinner option sounds super yummy!!

@stillcozy sorry for the rain and the cancellations...that’s definitely a bummer!! Your dinner sounds great...good luck with the bread!! I’ve been wanting to make bread since I got a stand mixer, but haven’t tried it out yet. Hope it goes well!

@mindyb I’m glad you got mostly good news yesterday...so sorry that the fibroids could cause issues! I’m loving your optimism though...you’ve got this!! We haven’t watched the Tiger King show...but from what I’ve heard of it, I don’t understand the fascination either! Haha.

@the_road_to_oz that’s good you were able to hire someone to do your landscaping...I bet it’ll look great!! That is great about YH’s raise recently so even with your temporary cut, you should be ok! That is so nice you are helping another family!! 💜

linzrunz · April 2020

@bows22 Yesterday did seem like it took forever! I woke up thinking it was Wednesday. Nope. It's only Tuesday. Hope the storm today isn't too bad!

@legallykate I hope you have a better day today! Do you have any self care planned for today? Might be something you need to do. Hang in there!

@stillcozy I've never made homemade bread before, but I've been craving it so bad lately! All the baking stuff at our grocery stores are out, so I haven't even been able to buy stuff to do it. Hope it turns out good! Let us know!

@mindyb2019 Tiger King is one of those shows that is such a trainwreck you think it can't get any worse, and then it does. The memes that came out of it are hilarious. So sorry about the news about your doc appt yesterday. I hope you an navigate those emotions and come out of it stronger. You've got this friend!

@the_road_to_oz That is a short cycle! Do you usually O that early? And yay for hiring someone to do the landscaping! We did that last summer to help clean up our backyard and it was so nice to have someone else do all the work.

@bluetickgal Yay for a good day and some good weather! Hope you can take advantage of it as best you can right now before the rain comes.

Month/Cycle: 3/3 after 3 years during round 1

CD/DPO: 29/3

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: nope nope nope

R/R: My doctor emailed yesterday about my weird TMI thing I asked about yesterday. She said we could do a blood test to check hormones, but since it's not an emergency I should wait a couple weeks to go in and do it. She didn't seem too concerned about it, but I am. I'm just nervous my hormones are screwed up (especially since I O'ed so late this cycle) and since we have a time limit on how much longer we're going to try before I schedule a hysterectomy, every cycle counts. But I overthink and over worry about EVERYTHING, so there's that.

CS/Q: nope

stillcozy · April 2020

@bluetickgal glad the weather has been nice and your days are going by quickly with work!

@linzrunz I’m so sorry about the confusing thing you have been dealing with. Fingers crossed it isn’t an issue with hormones. Hugs!

bows22 · April 2020

@legallykate a yummy dinner is a great thing to look forward to! And then you can look forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow! I am not much for packing my lunch since I’m usually at clients so this has been a nice change.

@stillcozy I have made homemade dinner rolls before - no advice as I just did everything the recipe told me to do but I’m sure it will turn out great! Now I want homemade bread!

@m@mindyb2019 ive heard it gets better, but I refuse to watch it myself haha. I hope this next blood test goes well!

@k@kpearse99 glad I’m not the only one who felt like it should be later in the week than it is!

@t@the_road_to_oz i am hoping to get some people out here to give us quotes on leveling our yard and I thought the same about them being outside....but what if they have to use the bathroom ugh. I’m glad you were able to get someone to come though. MH and I are both still working, we haven’t heard anything about pay cuts yet but I’m worried that it’s coming. We will be okay too but I don’t want less money haha.

@bluetickgal no storms here yet, it’s actually beautiful out, hopefully you won’t get any either! I’m crazy busy today and my day is also flying by but I need it to slow down some haha

@linzrunz a lot of deadlines are being extended due to covid, so you could always push yours back too 🙂. I’m kidding, but I’m sorry you have to wait to get tested. I know it’s for the best but so frustrating for that kind of stuff to be on hold

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

@linzrunz My cycles have been wonky for the last couple of years. I've had them go three+ months and less than three weeks. It seems to be on the shorter end lately - 26 days is the baseline, and it's ranging between 21 and 28. This would put me at 22,
Basically. I give up.
I was supposed to start clomid this month but.... the world ended. lol.
I'm sorry you are dealing with the chaos on top of the deadline. That's an extra strain for sure.
@bows22 He's our neighbor (well, within a couple of miles) my assumption is - he'd run home! LOL!

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@bows22 haha. Maybe I’ll have to keep watching it then. 🤔 Thanks. I’m sure my blood test will be fine.

@linzrunz It is kinda a train wreck lol. Aww, thanks friend. 🥰 I will be ok and it will make me that much stronger. Just another bump in the road.

@bluetickgal thanks girlie! I’m trying to stay positive and optimistic. Your damn right I got this 👍 Im determined so it will happen. hahah good it’s not just me that doesn’t understand the fascination.

bluetickgal · April 2020

@linzrunz sorry you can’t really get answers for a couple weeks! I’m hoping it’s nothing major at all though...sending positive, calming vibes your way!! 💜
@bows22 yay for no storms! I’ll use my magic wand and slow time down a bit for you, but still make it seem like the day is flying by!! Hope it works!! 😉
