CD/DPO: 27/10

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

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: BFN today, will test again tomorrow

R/R: A little disappointed about the BFN but I won’t feel totally out until I test tomorrow. It was a beautiful day here yesterday and I spent some of the day working outside on our deck. It was so nice. I’m ready for the weekend!

CS/Q:

keikilove · April 2020

@bows22 Glad you had a beautiful day outside yesterday. I like your hopeful attitude re: testing! I’m going to take a page from your playbook.😊

Month/Cycle: 23/idk/this is our first cycle trying again after 3 benched

CD/DPO: 32/10 (weird long cycle)

Timing: -1, O

Typical LP length: 10-13

Testing: BFN at 10DPO yesterday. Going to test again in a few hours, hoping against hope it’s a different outcome

R/R: Rant: Super negative energy amongst my family members lately. Rave: I’m doing my best to stay above it. Self-isolation is a great excuse to keep to myself!

CS/Q:

dobiemom11 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: whatever @bows22 said.

Timing: pretty good

Typical LP length: 11-12

Testing: nope; 98% sure AF will be here tomorrow

R/R:. My bday is this weekend. Just not feeling it and want to just cancel it! Quarantine and AF can really dampen any plans. But my family is suspiciously planning a coffee video chat on Saturday. Thunderstorms kept the dog up all night and ants have taken over my kitchen. I think a nap is certainly in order to turn this day around.

@bows22 and @keikilove Bummer about the BFN. I was thinking about both of you when I got up this morning and hoping for good news. Fingers crossed. We almost made it to the weekend.

@keikilove I am proud of you for staying above the family drama. I keep involving myself and that is not helping anyone.

stillcozy · April 2020

@bows22 and @keikilove I’m sorry about the BFN’s fingers crossed for different results over the next few days

@bows22 so glad you were able to work outside yesterday! Thank goodness we close to the weekend.

@keikilove good for you for staying above the negative energy. That can be hard to do so way to go!

@dobiemom11 I’m sorry your Bday will be under quarantine and the potential of AF coming. Fingers crossed she doesn’t and you have a great weekend and bday. Take that nap! Hope the storms stop so your pup can get some rest

Month/Cycle: 6/10

CD/DPO: 10/28

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

Typical LP length: who knows

Testing: I’m mad myself but I caved and tested today and BFN in my face. I’ll test again this weekend but likely af is coming. Temps were low again today.

R/R: it’s snowing ugh!! I was loving the warm sunny days we had been having. Good news is it won’t last long. I’m feel disappointed in myself. I realized this morning how much pressure I was putting on this cycle after what happened last cycle.

CS/Q:

dobiemom11 · April 2020

Kitchen majorly cleaned and ants hopefully vanquished. They are so persistent those little buggers!

@stillcozy. Sorry about the BFN and possible AF incoming. I know the pressure involved. I thought NTNP would help, but I think it might have made it worse. You are amazing and we all totally got this!

mindyb2019 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: 6/4(AL)

CD/DPO: 23/5

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

Typical LP Length: 9-10 days

Testing: Nope. WFAF

R/R: well I’m super excited that I get tomorrow off for Easter yay! I also get Monday and Tuesday off so that’s an extra nice long weekend. Yesterday was so beautiful and warm here. It was nice to sit out in my backyard and feel the sunshine on my skin. Made me feel happy for a moment or two. Everyone at my work has been so kind. A couple company’s that we deal with at work has given every staff member a big box of food with fruits and vegetables in it for their families and a bottle of adult vitamin gummy‘s to keep everyone’s immune systems strong and healthy. They did this to thank all the front line healthcare workers. So very very nice of everyone lately. I really appreciate their kindness and generosity!

CS/Q: None

@stillcozy So sorry for your BFN and that your temperature has dropped. I hope AF doesn’t show up.

@dobiemom11 sorry that it’s your b-day weekend and you’re just not feeling it 😔 I understand what you mean about Quarantine and AF just dampening the mood. Sorry that your dog was up all night and that ants are taking over your kitchen Hang in there girl! Hope you have a good nap.

@bows22 sorry about your BFN friend. Hugs. FX for you with testing tomorrow.

@keikilove sorry for your BFN as well. Sorry your family has had a lot of weird negative energy. I’m glad your staying above all that.

legallykate · April 2020

@bows22 Sorry about the BFN, hopefully it is just too early! I am super ready for the weekend too.

@keikilove Sorry for the BFN and bad family energy, FX for better test results later and for staying away from the negative energy.

@dobiemom11 I hope you are able to get some enjoyment out of your bday, virtual coffee sounds nice! Hope you can get your nap in too.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/5 or 6

Timing: Decent or good

Typical LP length: 9-10

Testing: Not until Tuesday

R/R: My Ava failed to record data again for no clear reason. This thing sucks. I am tempted to try to return it. Do not recommend. I woke up grumpy today and have not been able to kick it. I am usually a crazy symptom spotter by now but I have literally zero symptoms so I am sure this cycle is a bust. And it is hitting me hard that if it is then I won't be having a baby in 2020, for some reason that is making this cycle seem harder. I should prob just go back to bed and cancel today lol.

linzrunz · April 2020

@bows22 So sorry for the BFN. I'm glad you had a good day though!

@keikilove So sorry for the BFN.

Sending you love! I know what you mean about the family drama. I've got some in my family right now and the quarantine has helped to lower that somewhat. Hope you guys can get through it!

@dobiemom11 I second the nap idea! You are definitely in need of some self care! Hang in there friend. I hope that you still have an amazing birthday. Maybe the video chat will be a good pick me up for you. The nice thing about all of this is you can reschedule your birthday and celebrate another day when things aren't so crazy.

@stillcozy Sending you some loving vibes friend! I'm so sorry for the BFN. And boo for the snow! Hope the sunny days make a comeback sooner rather than later!

@mindyb2019 Yay for some sunshine yesterday! I bet that felt good.

And yay for an extra long weekend. Do you have anything fun planned?

@legallykate I'm so sorry you're having a grumpy day! It sounds like everyone could use some self care. What can you plan for yourself today that will help? I hope the day gets better for you!

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

CD/DPO: 31/5

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: nope nope nope

R/R: I'm feeling overly hopeful (for no reason) for this cycle which worries me because I'm going to fall so hard if it doesn't work out. I just want to fast forward the next week or two so I can find out for sure. On a happier note, the weather was gorgeous yesterday and we were able to take the dogs out on a hike. I'm hoping to get out again today because it's supposed to be just as nice.

CS/Q:

bows22 · April 2020

@keikilove I hope the tests were wrong for both of us!

@dobiemom11 i hope you are wrong about AF, cycle buddy!

@stillcozy Im sorry for the BFN, hoping for a different result for you too!

@mindyb2019 Enjoy your nice long weekend! That sounds so nice!

@legallykate oh boy I wasn’t even thinking about this being the last chance for 2020. Ugh. I hope this is it for you (and me too!)

@linzrunz i hope so much that the hopefulness is your body knowing something you don’t (I know that doesn’t make sense haha but sometimes it’s fun to dream!)

stillcozy · April 2020

I have DH all my tests and told him to hide them where I won’t find it and he cannot give me one until Monday at the earliest. I feel strangely at peace with this because I can wait for AF or get a very clear answer then. I just want the weekend without constantly thinking about testing. Anyone else struggle with this? I feel crazy that I had to do it but once I start it is so hard for me to not test.

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@linzrunz ya the sunshine felt great. No, nothing fun planned lol. Just relaxing at home and do nothing 😆 will prob watch movies and then on Sunday for Easter I’ll make a nice fancy dinner for my family at home.

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@mindyb2019 what are you planning to make?

@legallykate. I am feeling the same way and some sort of pressure that it must be this year. Although it is only a month later, 2021 just seems like forever in the future. Hoping for good news for you.

@linzrunz. I second @bows22 that hopefully your body knows something.

@stillcozy. Maybe I should have posted that my UO is that I almost never test. I am just so scared of that BFN that I wait and then AF comes. I think the only times I have tested is when we were trying not to get pregnant. Hoping for good things for you and a relaxing weekend.

legallykate · April 2020

@stillcozy I struggle badly with testing too soon/too often/everything. I have peed on more than 50 HPTs since the beginning of the year

Thank goodness for internet cheapies! @dobiemom11 Teach us your ways lol.

@linzrunz Yay for feeling hopeful! FX this is your cycle!

stillcozy · April 2020

@dobiemom11 yeah I need to move towards that the anxiety and let down of the BFN is too much.

keikilove · April 2020

@dobiemom11 I hope you were able to get a nap in today! And Happy Birthday this weekend!🎂🎈🎁 I Hope the doldrums miraculously lift for your special day.

@stillcozy Hope the snow goes away quickly.

@mindyb2019 Enjoy your holiday weekend, you’ve certainly earned it! That is so kind that people are showing appreciation.💗 And hopefully your excellent timing pays off kindly soon as well!

@legallykate Sorry that the Ava bracelet is such a disappointment! On another note: your chart looks great! FX!! And I sooo feel you on the pressure of having a baby within 2020. I’ve been focused on that since last year. It is hugely disappointing right now.

@linzrunz Thank you for the encouragement!❤️ I hope your family drama lightens up/disappears soon as well. I hope you were able to get out & enjoy the beautiful weather.

AFM, another BFN today so I guess I’m trying to stay positive & upbeat for a baby in 2021?🤷‍♀️

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@keikilove thanks friend. I’m hopeful my excellent timing pays off soon as well 😉 FX.

@dobiemom11 I plan on making a prime rib roast in our rotisserie machine and some Yorkshire puddings and gravy and veggies etc. The whole works lol 🤤

stillcozy · April 2020

@keikilove hugs!

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

Month/Cycle: Jan 2018

CD/DPO: I have misplaced my phone. I THINK it's 13/3

Timing: -4,-2, O

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: Let's be real... probably peeing on all the things.

R/R: I am so sad we are basically "missing" Easter! I love Easter.

CS/Q: SOLID lines for 9DPO, and a consistent temp creep... weird to O that early, but whatever.
@legallykate Yup, I don't even want to think about how many POAS I have done through this process.
@mindyb2019 You have a rotersierrie machine?! Omg, lol. My husband is the kitchen gadget king.... I didn't know this was a thing. We own an egg cooker AND a breakfast sandwhich maker, a waffle maker AND a waffle BOWL maker.
@linzrunz Yes! It's like the cycles where you have no hope are almost easier on the let down, lol.
@dobiemom11 How.... I can't imagine being that patient.
@keikilove Oh friend, I am sorry for the BFN.
@stillcozy Oh DH would cave. Absolutely.
@bows22 Boooo on the BFN

jackie_dunny · April 2020

*lurking*

@mindyb2019 omg you’re probably the first American I’ve “met” that knows what Yorkshire puddings are!!

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz. What a waffle bowl maker??

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

@dobiemom11 Unnecessary. That's what it is. Taking up my cabinet space...
It does make really good toastados.

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz hell's ya I got a rotisserie machine 😉 Girl, i got all the kitchen gadgets haha. this machine is by far my favorite thing I own. Omg the things I can make in it 🤤 I'll take a pic of the prime rib I make in it on sunday. I have a breakfast sandwich maker and a waffle maker too lol your waffle bowl maker is pimp lol
I need one of those 🤣

@jackie_dunny the funny thing is.. I know what they are, but I'm not American. I'm actually Canadian haha 😄 Yorkshires are my favorite 😋

@stillcozy I honestly don't struggle with this at all. I have zero desire to ever test. I've done it maybe twice in my life. I still have a bag of a few different preg tests and I've had them sitting around for like 4 months haha. I'm too scared to test cause I hate being disappointed so I just casually wait for AF to come. I'm glad you gave YH all your tests. Take a break girl and relax lol

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

@mindyb2019 The worst part is my husband isn't a cook. He just buys all the gadgets. I never knew you "needed" a specific pan to poach eggs. Or make brownies. Or a machine to make rice. Silly me, I've been using the same pots and pans for everything. LOL

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz ooh silly me too LOL 😏 my hubby loves kitchen gadgets too but he cooks all the time and is good at it. To be fair, I have a machine to cook rice and use it all the time haha.

dobiemom11 · April 2020

@mindyb2019 and @the_road_to_oz. I do love my rice maker- otherwise I burn the rice every time. Just nice to set it and forget it. I don't have too many kitchen gadgets and everyone keeps trying to buy me more. Like the ones I have been working fine for a while. The newest one is a toaster. I just toast everything on the stove top.

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@mindyb2019 ahhh that explains it! Sorry for assuming you were American lol actually happens to me all the time over here. My favourite was “I can’t tell if you’re American or Canadian but you’re really nice so I’m going with Canadian” I didn’t know if it was a compliment or not 😂 I was like uhhh I‘m American actually but...thanks?

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz is this directed at me because I was lurking? Lol

mindyb2019 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny lol that’s ok. No worries. You are forgiven haha. I think I’m one of the few Canadians on here. I went to Cuba on a vacation many many many years ago and was in Havana and gave this women and her child on the street some things like toys and stickers and books and colouring crayons etc for her child and immediately she said to me.. thanks Canadian lol I didn’t even tell her where I was from but she just knew haha.

charmedlifex3 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny Lol! No, I was aiming at the cookie thread and it somehow ended up over here.

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@the_road_to_oz phew that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure 😆
