Re: TWW Monday 4/13
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: not really sure
Timing: pretty good
Typical LP length: 11-12
Testing: maybe tomorrow
R/R: So AF gave all the signs on Friday that she was coming this weekend (spotting and cramping etc). I tested on Friday because I was feeling nauseous and crazy tired. BFN. She didn't come this weekend and now I am just trying to figure things out. The box said wait three days to retest, so waiting until tomorrow (while kinda hoping if she is coming, she will just come before than). This month has been crazy stressful, so I know things can get thrown off because of that. But now I am clinging to some crazy hope.
Had a quiet bday and holiday weekend, but it was enjoyable. I didn't think anyone was going to send me goodies, so I bought a cake. Now we are inudated with sweets and it could be a challenge to eat them all!
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -3, -2, O, +1
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Had a really nice weekend! DH and I did a puzzle, then had a Zoom date with the family for Easter yesterday. Such a weird feeling not doing our usual Easter routine of church and visiting with family, but hopefully this is all over soon.
CS/Q: so FF says I O’d on CD16, but I really don’t think I did until yesterday (CD19) 🤷🏻♀️ I guess I’ll go with FF for now, but I’m gonna be annoyed when I end up testing way too early based on those dates lol
@runningoncookies I think FF is wrong for me this month too, annoying. What is your usual CL? I'm glad you got to Zoom with family for Easter!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -5, -4, -2, O, +1
Typical LP length: 9-10
Testing: BFN this morning (I caved)
R/R: Had a really nice weekend with lots of Zooming (Friday college friends happy hour, Saturday extended family, and Saturday night poker game). I also did 4 hours of work and am in decent shape for the month so yay. I'm in a surprisingly decent mood for it being a Monday and getting a BFN. I am kind of back to thinking I am only at 9dpo based on prior cycles (CD 15 would be really early for O, and I have never had fertile CM and a + OPK the day after O) so I may not be totally out, but who knows at this point. Pretty sure AF will show up today or tomorrow.

@dobiemom11 sorry for your BFN. FX for you when you try again and that AF doesnt come. I feel ya on the nausea girl.. I'm glad you had a good quiet bday. Enjoy eating all those sweets lol
@runningoncookies glad you had a good weekend. It was weird for us too not doing our normal Easter routine with brunch buffet etc with the family. Was sad. There's always next year.

R/R: We had a fairly good weekend. Our Easter lunch was good with my in-laws. But yesterday we got really bad weather. Our neighbors, DH and everyone else think it was a small tornado. But we had 5-6? Trees fall in our yard? Thankfully they were just thin pine trees but several bigs ones fell at the back of our property that I haven’t seen yet. Nothing hit the house, but the pine trees tops were within a foot of touching the house. 😬 There is just something about holidays and storms, man. In 2012 we had a huge oak tree fall on our house on Christmas Day. Counting my blessing today! I’ll be back for tags as soon as I can hop back on.
Photo of some of the tree damage:
CS/Q: I forgot to temp this weekend 💩
@runningoncookies I would be thinking I O'ed on CD19 too if that was my chart. What if you put in a couple more high temps for the next couple of days? Does FF change O date?
@legallykate So sorry for the BFN. I'm glad you're in a good mood despite that though and yay for being in a good spot for work!
@mindyb2019 You poor thing! I'm so sorry you're still not feeling well. And boo to DH for being such a party pooper.
@photographerwife Oh man, hopefully it's not too much to have to clean up. I'm glad there was no damage to your house though!
Month/Cycle: 4/3 after 3 years during round 1
CD/DPO: 35/9
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: unsure
Testing: nope nope nope
R/R: I'm feeling out. Had a huge migraine yesterday and last night which is typical PMS for me. So the hopeful feeling I've had for the past week is now gone. I'm also bloated and just not feeling well. So yay. :-/ On a happier note, I got to group FaceTime with some of my family yesterday and it was hilarious. My grandma's iPhone is too old to support group FaceTime, so my brother FaceTimed with her on his phone and held it up to his iPad where he was group FaceTiming with the rest of us. We tried to add my mom, but she was driving so my aunt answered. My aunt just barely got a smart phone a couple months ago and has zero idea what she's doing. So we talked to her forehead for a few minutes. We ended up hanging up from that, teaching my Grandma how to connect via Zoom and had a nice little chat.
CS/Q: nope

@mindyb2019 I’m so sorry you are still feeling crappy (unless it turns out to be for a good reason!) Glad you have a couple more days off to rest. And glad you enjoyed the Zoom time with YH’s family. MH refused to participate in my family’s Zoom on Saturday because he is “too shaggy,” it was super lame but oh well.
@photographerwife That’s crazy about the weather and trees, but thank goodness nothing fell closer to the house!
@linzrunz Sorry you are feeling out. I feel the same way but hopefully we are both wrong! Glad you got to have some family Zoom time.

@linzrunz I tried putting in a few more high temps, but nothing changed! So frustrating. Sorry that you’re feeling out this month, but I’m glad you had some nice video chats with your family this weekend!
CD/DPO: 30ish now I think.
Timing: Meh...basically every 3 days.
Typical LP length: 15-16
Testing: Probably around 4/16 to stop Progesterone.
R/R: Happy Monday!! Had such a nice 3-day weekend celebrating my birthday & Easter, although I have no clue how it went by so quickly! Hoping this week goes by as fast as the weekend did...somehow I doubt that’ll happen though! It’s supposed to be a little cooler this week, but I’m hoping we can get as many walks in as possible! I’m getting quarantine body and that’s certainly not a good thing! 😂
CS/Q: None, stopped tracking early.
@dobiemom11 glad you had a good birthday! Sorry your cycle is being so confusing...I hope you get great news tomorrow! Fingers crossed so hard for you!
@runningoncookies glad you had a good weekend! Yeah, with having a positive OPK after CD 16, I’d be more inclined to think O was after that...it’s a bit confusing with your temps though. Maybe try and hold out as long as possible with testing? Easier said than done sometimes, I know!
@legallykate glad you had a nice weekend! Sorry for the BFN this morning...but hopefully you are 9DPO and still have a chance! 🤞🏻
@mindyb2019 I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well...I hope the tiredness & nausea are actually a good sign! That’s odd about your arm...is that the same side as your ear pain and possibly related? I hope you can relax on the rest of your time off and get to feeling better!
@photographerwife glad you had a good weekend aside from the storm damage...but man, that’s awful! Glad no damage was done to your house though!!
@linzrunz sorry you are feeling out now...I’m going to keep up my hopefulness for you!! Your group FaceTime experience sounds awesome! Haha.
@legallykate thanks girlie. I hope I’m feeling crappy for a good reason lol FX. Makes it sooo much more worth it lol. Sorry YH refused to join the zoom as well. I thought it was lame too. Men I tell ya haha.
@mindyb2019 sorry you are still feeling so poorly. With the headaches and arm pain is there any way it's muscular? I pinched a nerve in my neck last year and had some of the same symptoms. I hope you're able to rest in your days off!
Yay for all the great zooms/facetimes, etc this weekend! That's helping us feel sane too.
@photographerwife thank goodness those didn't hit the house! Your yard looks so big! I'm jealous, looks peaceful (minus the downed trees).
Hi guys! I'm in the TWW but haven't been checking in as we are benched this month and working from home/home school/everyone home is kicking my butt. I'm spending so much more time on the computer (teacher) that when I don't have to be on the computer I'm not. I've been checking in though and thinking of you guys! I'm hoping that now that we're hitting our groove at home I'll be able to check in more.
Last year when I had the pinched nerve my Dr put me in PT bc he thought it was a torn rotator cuff bc of where I was experiencing pain. I did PT for a month with no improvement, then went for a massage and it disappeared almost over night. Maybe take some anti inflammatories (I can never remember if that's Motrin or Tylenol- not a Dr!) and ice where you think the pinched nerve is?
@mindyb2019. Hoping you feel better soon. Your arm does kinda sound like a pinched nerve. I have one in my elbow and it does similar things. The headache and nausea could maybe be sinus related. Hopefully you figure out some relief and can enjoy some of your days off.
@_orchid_. We missed you, but keep kicking butt! I am really impressed with all the teachers right now. Thank you!
@legallykate. Our Zoom call this weekend had fourteen of us on the call. Almost none of the husbands joined in for more than a quick hello. My new trick is to wear a hoodie, so my face looks thinner. Quarantine diet has been bad!
@bluetickgal. This weekend did fly by and hoping for a quick week as well. Glad you had a great holiday/bday weekend. It happens quite often for that date.
@runningoncookies. It was a weird holiday without family. We probably wouldn't have gone home for the holiday, but it just felt worse that we couldn't. Hopefully soon we can celebrate with family.
@linzrunz. We talked to my grandmother's forehead for most of the call as well. We kept telling her to prop her phone up, but she wanted to hold it and then her hand would get tired. Still fun to see everyone!
