R/R: Hump day! This week has been annoying work-wise but at least it is going by pretty quickly. Does anyone watch Modern Family? I am looking forward to the finale tonight, I can't believe how long I've been watching this show. DH's meatloaf came out great last night and I get to have leftovers for lunch woohoo.

@dobiemom11 so sorry you're not feeling great! Do y'all have anything fun planned for this weekend, or just ready for the work week to be over?

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 41/???

Timing: No idea at this point.

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Negative test this morning.

R/R: My rant is related to my question below...

CS/Q: Ok, hoping someone can help me make sense of what the heck is going on with my body! I was expecting AF last Thursday (a 33-35 day cycle is usual for me), and very light spotting began that day and has continued ever since but I haven't actually gotten my period (and I've been testing daily and getting negative results). I thought I ovulated around March 19 based on egg white cervical fluid on March 17/18 and positive OPKs on March 18-20 (though I didn't use them perfectly correctly, as I didn't start testing on the CD it told me to and build up to my ovulation window from there... I don't really know how exactly these tests work so I'm not sure how much that matters). But that timeline makes no sense in retrospect, as that would mean I'm on day 20 of my luteal phase, and from what I understand the LP really shouldn't vary that much. So I'm figuring I must have ovulated much later than expected, though that's kind of weird considering the egg white CF and positive OPKs... could I have been about to ovulate and then my body just abruptly called the whole thing off? I've also never had spotting like this before... at most I'll have a day of spotting before my period starts in earnest but right now we're on day six. I'm thinking the stress of this whole pandemic/quarantine thing must be throwing everything off, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to understand the timeline a little better... anyone have any insight for me?

mindyb2019 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: 6/4(AL)

CD/DPO: 22/4

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

LP Length: 9-10 days. I feel not long enough

Testing: WFAF

R/R: Did anyone see the pink supermoon last night?? I did through our telescope we have and it was super cool. Space is so neat! I was so exhausted from work yesterday. I think the full moon made everyone nuts lol. All my residents at the care facility were legit going crazy and squirrelly. 🤪 There were like a bunch of caged rats. There were all acting off and weird and fighting with each other and pissed off and freaking the F out!! It was mentally draining. I had to come home and have a drink 😆 I have to pray for patience some days lol.

CS/Q: None

@dobiemom11 I'm so sorry that you haven't been feeling very great mentally lately. Hang in their girl.

@legallykate Happy Hump day! I'm glad YH's meatloaf came out good. I've watched modern family here and there but I never stuck with it. It's a good show though and I like it cause it's funny. Enjoy the finale tonight. Ok.. how are you on DPO 5 if we were the exact 0 day? I'm only on 4.

legallykate · April 2020

@the_most_happy My guess would be that you did O a lot later, I have read it is possible to have multiple LH surges and EWCM patches before O. Not sure about the spotting though. Is AF usually pretty heavy for you? Sorry for all the confusion, that would be driving me crazy too.

@mindyb2019 All my apps changed to say I O'd on Friday so I am going along with that now even though I am not 100% sure. My temps were a mess this month so who knows, it was either Friday or Saturday!

stillcozy · April 2020

@dobiemom11 sorry you haven’t been feeling very well. Hugs!

@legallykate yay for yummy leftovers enjoy the show tonight!

@the_most_happy sorry no advice since my own cycle is such a crap show haha. You could always call your dr and get their opinion? I have had delayed/elongated cycles from stress or sickness in the past though.

Month/Cycle: 6/10

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: -6,-5,-4,-2,0

Typical LP length: who knows lol

Testing: early next week but probably not.

R/R: I’m starting to get my early af signs and my temp dropped a lot today so I’m not feeling too hopeful for this cycle which is okay. You never know though I guess.

CS/Q: nothing much to see.

wabash15 · April 2020

Dirty lurker***
@the_most_happy it is possible to have multiple LH surges prior to O. I would not uncommonly have at least 2 LH surges. as for when you start using your OPK's it kind of depends on the ones you are using.... if your using the clear blue advanced I think you do need to start those earlier in your cycle, but if your using the basic ones that just track LH and not estrogen its OK if you didn't start them till a little later. Temping next cycle will help you pinpoint O better (in combo with the OPKs). Keep testing and if you get to CD60 without a period than call your doc. Bodies are weird and an old saying on here, is "your regular till your not...". Good luck!

the_most_happy · April 2020

@legallykate I've watched MF all the way through the first couple of episodes of this season, but then just kind of lost interest (honestly I lost interest several seasons ago but stuck with it because I figured I should finish it out and didn't expect it to go on quite this long). Would you say it's worth it for me to catch up and see it through to the end? To answer your question though, I would say I have a medium-heavy AF... ugh, of course right when we start trying everything decides to go haywire!

@mindyb2019 The moon was so cool last night! Really beautiful, I love all things moon-related though.

@wabash15 Interesting, so do you know what the biological purpose/cause of multiple LH surges would be? Is the last one always the one when ovulation actually occurs? That does make things a bit trickier!

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@the_most_happy. Technically it is my bday this weekend, but we didn't really plan ahead and nothing is planned. I ordered a cake for pickup on Sunday, but that is about it. I think it is just super exhausting right now with the move and DH still working. We like to work hard during the week and then really not do anything during the weekend. Sorry for a confusing cycle...that is frustrating!

@legallykate Yay for DH cooking and a good dinner. I should make a meatloaf, since it is one of DH's faves. Not a huge fan myself, but I do like the rolls that I normally make on the side.

@mindyb2019 I saw the moon last night, but it wasn't pink when I saw it. It was huge and super bright though. Pretty cool!! My family is supposed to have a girl's weekend to space camp in August, but who knows? Hopefully your residents will calm down once the crazy moon is passed.

@stillcozy sending love your way. I keep being tempted to type in the name of our old friend and then remember she has a new name!!

linzrunz · April 2020

@dobiemom11 Can we do anything for you? We're here for you! Do you have any self care planned today? That might help. Hang in there friend.

@legallykate Yay for leftover meatloaf for lunch today!

@the_most_happy I'm so sorry for the confusing cycle. You could have had an LH surge but not actually ovulated. That's so frustrating! Have you considered temping to help confirm O? It won't help with this cycle, but maybe next time.

@mindyb2019 I totally forgot about the supermoon last night and I'm sad I missed it! That's awesome that you got to see it through a telescope. I'm jealous!

@stillcozy Aww I'm so sorry friend that you're feeling out already. Hang in there.

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

CD/DPO: 30/4

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: nope nope nope

R/R: I treated myself to a white mocha this morning, so I'm drinking it while I watch the blue jays outside building a nest. It's so peaceful. However, my dogs are ruining it by barking at the dog next door. Sierra was super sweet this morning through because she wanted to cuddle. And when your 80 lb GSD wants to cuddle...you have to cuddle. It made it hard to get up from bed this morning.

CS/Q: nope

bows22 · April 2020

Hi ladies! My day has been so crazy but I wanted to say hi. I’m supposed to have some tests delivered today so as long as they make it I’ll probably test tomorrow. I don’t really want to test but I do want to have a drink tomorrow night if it’s negative haha.

stillcozy · April 2020

@bows22 fingers crossed for you! Hope your day goes well and you have a relaxing evening!

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@linzrunz mmm a white mocha sounds yummy. I hope you enjoyed it.

@dobiemom11 whoa space camp? That sounds sooo fun. I hope everything in the world will be calmed down by August so you ladies can go. where is this space camp? And what all do you do there?

@the_most_happy ya the moon is really cool.

@stillcozy sorry your temp dropped and you arnt feeling hopefully about this cycle. You still never know though. FX for you.

legallykate · April 2020

@stillcozy 9 dpo could be an implantation dip, so will keep my FX for you!

@linzrunz White mocha sounds delicious!

@bows22 FX for you tomorrow!

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@mindyb2019. It is in Huntsville AL. A whole weekend of space training. I think it includes one of those training modules that spins you all around. I get motion sickness so no thanks on that one. There are also tours and fun activities. Hopefully it will be fun, but I will also enjoy spending time with my mom and sister.

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@dobiemom11 that sounds soo fun. I get bad motion sickness too so no thanks to that as well haha the rest sounds good. Spending time with your mom and sister would be great too.
