bows22 · April 2020

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

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: BFN today, I have 1 more test that I’ll use tomorrow but no expectations

R/R: Sigh. This sucks. I miss my family, I miss MH’s family. It’s Easter weekend and we can’t go to church. I think I was holding onto the hope of a BFP without realizing it for some happiness so I’m more upset than I thought I would be. I’ll be okay just might need to wallow a bit today.

CS/Q:

stillcozy · April 2020

I’m out AF came way early.... wasn’t due until early next week ugh!!!!

stillcozy · April 2020

@bows22 so sorry about the BFN fingers crossed for tomorrow

legallykate · April 2020

I'm so sorry @bows22. Can you do some virtual Easter celebrations with family this weekend? And a lot of self care? Sending you virtual hugs.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/7

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

Typical LP length: 9-10

Testing: Tuesday

R/R: Really glad it's Friday even though we obviously have no big weekend plans. We had a virtual Passover Seder with DH's mom, brother and SIL and nieces, aunt, and cousins last night and that was really nice. I have kind of given up on not drinking during the TWW during quarantine and DH doesn't really drink so it was fun to have "virtual" drinking buddies lol. And both my MIL and DH's aunt live alone and haven't been able to see their kids or grandkids so I'm sure it was really nice for them too. Going to finish Schitt's Creek this weekend but I have mixed feelings about it because I hate finishing shows I love!

legallykate · April 2020

@stillcozy Boo for early AF

keikilove · April 2020

@bows22 I’m so sorry for this especially disappointing bfn. I hope you’re able to attend Easter service online. It’s not the same, but you know...<shoulder shrug>. Your gif is perfect. I’m feeling the same way. Sending virtual hugs your way💗

@legallykate That’s so nice about your Passover Seder feast, I’m glad you all were able to celebrate “together”. Your chart is still looking so good, FX for Tuesday!

Month/Cycle: 23/IDK, too damn many

CD/DPO: 33/12

Timing: Clearly, not good enough

Typical LP length: 10-13

Testing: I did another self-torture test just to rub in the sting & make absolutely sure I can fall off the wagon. Yep, I will be drowning my sorrows in a huge jug of wine tonight! Gonna hang out here till AF shows, then move to WTO.

R/R: Rant: See above. Rave: I’m going to stream church online on Easter & make some nice festive food. We will stay at home, then maybe find a nice empty isolated area to take a walk. I will focus on being grateful for this life and being healthy & alive.

CS/Q:

stillcozy · April 2020

@bows22 I’m feeling the same way about not being able to go to church today or celebrate Easter Sunday with family.

legallykate · April 2020

@keikilove Sorry for the BFN

You def deserve a huge jug of wine! I love your attitude and focus on gratitude, I hope you are able to have a nice holiday weekend.

kpearse99 · April 2020

@bows22 sending you so much love, friend. I think you're right about holding onto that hope without knowing it - these are crazy times and with the holiday coming up this weekend it's harder because we can't do the traditions we normally would do. I'm here if you need to talk or vent or whatever!

@keikilove I'm sorry friend

Drink all of that damn wine!!!

dobiemom11 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: who knows?

Timing: apparently not good enough

Typical LP length: 11-12

Testing: nope, AF is coming

R/R:. I woke up this morning and this is the first day in a long time that I feel normal. DH asked what that meant... The world doesn't feel like it is ending and I am not completely overwhelmed by everything going on inside and outside of my house. Got dressed and did my face routine (don't wear makeup, but some moisturizer and such). We will see how long this lasts, but for today I will take it.

@bows22 oh Lady! I am so sorry! I was thinking about you this morning and hoping for good news. I was tempted to test and then chickened out. And then started spotting, so probably out. Be gentle with yourself today and this weekend. This isn't the Easter any of us were hoping for. (I did read an interesting post or article saying this seems very similar to the first Easter with everyone hiding at home afraid. I am trying to channel that similarity, but who knows what will come of it).

@legallykate. Happy Passover (is it appropriate to say that? My brief internet search said it was okay, but I will lean on your expertise.). I am glad you got to celebrate "with" family. Enjoy your weekend plans!

@stillcozy. Boo for AF!!

@keikilove. I love your gratitude and plans for the weekend. I will join you in the jug of wine tomorrow (since today is a fast day over here). Sorry for the BFN.

bobbyflies2020 · April 2020

@stillcozy So sorry for AF coming early.

@bows22 Sorry to hear about the BFN. I am sorry things really suck right now. Hang in there and good luck tomorrow!

@legallykate Your virtual seder sounds like it was really nice! My husband did ours this year so I didn't have to cook! Score 😂

@dobiemom11 Sorry about the spotting and I know the feeling of anxiousness you described. I am glad today seems to be better. Hang in there!

@kpearse99 Hi friend! Good to see you and I hope you are staying sane during this pandemic. It is craziness.

@keikilove So sorry to hear Sending you hopeful thoughts for next cycle.

Month/Cycle: 14/9

CD/DPO: CD 29

Timing: -1, 0

Typical LP length: 11-12

Testing: Not yet. I was going to wait for AF, but maybe buying some tests today.

R/R: My app said I should have had a period on Wednesday and no spotting so far... Part of me is getting excited. I will probably test tomorrow.

I have had a functional cyst since August. My RE ignored it/forgot about it then the pandemic happened. They said it was bigger last month and it has gotten more sore in the past few days.

Q: Anyone have experience with functional cysts? Maybe that is why my period is late. Stay sane everyone! Spending 4 weeks inside is craziness. Hang in there!

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 Friday Ladies!! I was MIA for a couple days, just really needed a break after some triggers! I’m off today and it’s been so nice just having a lazy morning...and catching up on here! Hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

CS/Q: None, stopped tracking early.

@bows22 I’m so sorry for the BFN’s!! I‘ve been so hopeful for you for this cycle!! Sending you all the love and hugs!! 💜

@stillcozy so sorry AF made her arrival early!! Sending you all the hugs! 💜

@legallykate I’m glad you had a good virtual “visit” with family! Hope you have a great weekend!!

@keikilove ugh, so sorry for BFN’s for you too! Sending you all the love and hugs! 💜 Your weekend plans sound wonderful, and good for you on focusing on being grateful!!

@dobiemom11 I’m sorry you feel like AF is coming, but I’m going to remain hopeful for you! So glad you feel like yourself today, that is wonderful!! I hope you have a great Birthday tomorrow!!

@bobbyflies2020 hi friend...long time no see!! Hope you have been doing well! No insight on the cyst, but fingers crossed this is your cycle!!

CD/DPO: 24/6

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

Typical LP Length: 9-10 days

Testing: No WFAF

R/R: Enjoying the day off today at home. Relaxing on the couch. It’s another beautiful day here today. Loving all this sunshine lately. Makes me happy. I’m still trying to stay positive and hopeful for this cycle. I have no idea why but my cat has been sitting on my lap all the time like crazy lately and he never does. 🤔 He always wants to cuddle with DH.

CS/Q: none

@bluetickgal man, I wish I had your LP length. I want mine to be a bit longer. Seems not enough. Happy Friday! Sorry you had those triggers. Hopefully you feel more relaxed now.

@bows22 Sorry my friend for your BFN

and sorry your feeling blah and upset about Easter and missing your family etc. I miss DH’s family too. Take some time to relax today.

@keikilove I’m so sorry friend.. ❤️ You enjoy the hell out of that wine. Drink lots!

@stillcozy aww girl.. I’m sorry AF came early boo erns! 😔 Sending you a virtual hug today.

@bobbyflies2020 FX for you on this cycle. GL with testing tomorrow.

@dobiemom11 I’m glad your feeling normal today. That’s great to hear. You never know.. AF might not come. Stay positive and hopeful.

@legallykate yay for virtual drinking buddies lol. You enjoy that. Enjoy your schitts creek show. That’s awesome you were able to have a virtual Passover with your family.

linzrunz · April 2020

@bows22 so sorry for the BFN. Be kind to yourself today. And wallow all you need

@stillcozy That sucks that AF came early. Sending comforting vibes your way.

@legallykate Your virtual party sounds so nice! I'm glad you had some virtual drinking buddies to drink with you. Sometimes it's not as fun to drink alone.

@keikilove So sorry for the BFN. I like your rave though. Way to have a positive attitude and try to look at the good things in life right now.

@dobiemom11 I'm so glad you're having a good day despite everything going on! Sometimes getting up and having a good routine can help.

@bobbyflies2020 I don't have any experience but I'm sorry for what you're dealing with. That sucks that your RE basically forgot about it.

@bluetickgal I'm glad you're back and I'm glad that you're taking care of your mental health! Sometimes a few days off of here is needed.

@mindyb2019 Yay for such a gorgeous day! Sunshine can definitely make you feel better. Are you able to get out for a walk to enjoy it?

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

CD/DPO: 32/6

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: nope nope nope

R/R: I was up so much last night and had some horrible dreams. It was definitely my anxiety coming out and I don't like it. I still feel uneasy from the dreams this morning. Going to take today slow and make sure to take it easy. And then an early bedtime tonight!

CS/Q: nope

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@linzrunz oh dear. Horrible dreams aren’t good. What were you dreaming about? Sorry you were up last night. Yes, I’m totally able to get out for a walk in it. I might do that later. I like to sit out in it in the backyard while I let the dog and cat run around the yard lol.

linzrunz · April 2020

@mindyb2019 They're kinda hard to explain, but it was definitely a manifestation of my anxiety. All my internal struggles became physical ones - I couldn't speak, I could only yell, I felt like I didn't have control of my body. It was weird and disturbing. I'm glad you can get out and enjoy the sunshine! Watching your pets run around the yard sounds so relaxing! Does your dog play with your cat at all?

bluetickgal · April 2020

@mindyb2019 glad you are enjoying the day off and lots of sunshine! Ah, enjoy those extra kitty cuddles too!! 😻 Thanks friend, I am feeling better!

@linzrunz sorry for the bad dreams brought on by anxiety! I hope you can get to bed early tonight and have a great night of sleep! Thanks friend, it definitely helped!

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@mindyb2019. Enjoy those kitty cuddles. Ours has a cold and we have to give her meds. She is playing hide and seek with us. Yesterday the inside of the recliner was having a sneezing fit and then the inside of the TV console. She must be like Houdini getting herself in there.

@bluetickgal. We missed you but understand about taking some time off. I did as well earlier in the week. Any fun bday plans for you? Obviously gonna be quiet over here, but we will see what happens.

@linzrunz hopefully you can rest up this weekend! Wishing you fun dreams only!

bows22 · April 2020

@stillcozy I’m sorry for AF!

@legallykate thank you! I’m sure we will do a zoom date with both families. And we have small Easter baskets for our nieces and nephews so we will go and drop those off and wave through the window or something. DH knows I’m sad and feels terrible so I’m sure he will come up with something to try to make me happy. Your Passover Seder sounds so nice! I really need to get some zoom drinking buddies. Your chart looks awesome!

@keikilove a self-torture test is the perfect way to describe it! That’s what mine will be tomorrow. Enjoy as much wine as you want!!

@kpearse99 ❤️❤️

@dobiemom11 I’m glad you are feeling somewhat normal! You definitely have had a lot going on lately, glad things are settling down!

@bobbyflies2020 good luck testing!

@bluetickgal you’ll just have to go to December without me!! I hope the little break helped and you are feeling better

@mindyb2019 enjoy the sunshine and the kitty cuddles!

@linzrunz you be kind to yourself too! I hope you have a better sleep tonight

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@linzrunz omg that dream sounds horrible. 😖 that would be scary not being able to speak or have control of your body etc. Yikes. Sorry girl that you dreamt all that. Relax today. Ya the dog and cat play together once in a while. The cat will playfully bite the dog and chase him or lunge at him etc. It’s kinda funny. Lol

dobiemom11 · April 2020

Ya'll I think I have gone crazy. This non-tester just tested. Just being feeling weird and needed to know. BFN but it was an afternoon sample. Just need to calm down and WFAF or wait to test until Sunday/Monday. I felt compelled to test this morning, but chickened out.

bluetickgal · April 2020

@dobiemom11 thanks lady! We are going to get some takeout (which will most likely include cheesecake) and probably play some board games and just chill out together! Hope you all do something fun and low key to celebrate! And don’t let that BFN get you down, it’s still early!! Fingers crossed for better results on Sunday/Monday!

@bows22 that’s doubtful, but I hope our time is right around the corner...we totally deserve it!! And thank you, friend...I’m definitely feeling better!

bobbyflies2020 · April 2020

@dobiemom11 Ha! Thanks for making me laugh. I also am feeling insane, but am mostly shrieking at my husband. Wtf, hormones... I wonder if stress affects hormones/PMS. I think it does. Damn, Corona.

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@bluetickgal. Oh cheesecake...good plan. I was kinda thinking of take-out but we also have food in the fridge that probably needs to be cooked. I will be breaking into the holiday candy though!
