    Month/Cycle: 17/19 including 2 benched 

    CD/DPO: 25/10

    Timing: -3,-1,O,+1

    Typical LP length: 12

    Testing: Tomorrow as long as my tests come today 

    R/R: Going through some annoying stuff at work - LSS, we have a lot of work to do coming up and there is a wrinkle in the plan to get it done. There were some emails yesterday that I didn’t agree with so I explained my point of view then suggested we have a call, and everyone agreed on the call but there were no other comments so I have no idea how this call is going to go. I keep reminding myself that I’m being more than reasonable so if they don’t agree it’s just because they are stubborn a-holes :) Anyway, it’s a beautiful sunny day today so hopefully that improves my mood! And it’s almost Friday!

    CS/Q:

  • Loading the player...
  • @bows22 ugh that's frustrating! It's so hard when you take the time to make a well-thought-out case and people just don't take it to heart. Hopefully they'll see the light though!

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 29/8

    Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1 (if I'm correct about when I O'd)

    Typical LP length: Unsure

    Testing: Since FF and I are not in agreement about when I O'd this cycle, I took a cheapie this morning in case they are right and I'm actually 12 DPO... saving my expensive tests for this weekend though.

    R/R: I'm in the mood to online shop for new clothes, but that seems very pointless when I have no idea when I might even have an occasion to wear anything but sweats or leggings ever again. Gonna try to hold out, but not confident in my willpower, haha.

    CS/Q: Nah.

  • @bows22 Hope your call goes well, sounds like everyone just needs to listen to you! FX tomorrow!

    @the_most_happy FX you are just 8dpo and were testing too early. I am actually loving not having to think about clothes at all right now, sweatpants for life lol.

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD/DPO: 23/6

    Timing: -4, -3, -1, O, +1

    Typical LP length: 9-10 (but on progesterone now so who knows)

    Testing: Sometime next week

    R/R: Finished my last major substantive work for a while and now can hopefully cruise for a bit! I spent an insane amount of money yesterday to send flowers to my MIL so hopefully she will like them. It annoys me that I always have to be the holiday/gift planner, even for DH's family, but he is great in most other ways so it could be a lot worse. I still don't know what our plans are with my mom for this weekend, but I got her a Fitbit now that she is walking so much during quarantine, so hope she likes that too (she is impossible to shop for because she "doesn't need anything"). 

    CS/Q: Nothing remarkable.

    @the_most_happy I hope you are right about O and this test was too early! I hear you on the clothes shopping, I cancelled my stitch fix when everything started and now I regret it, even though I don’t have anywhere to wear anything 

    @legallykate I know right?? Listen to me people! Haha. I am the gift buyer in our family too. We are going to take them both some food or dessert and have a socially distant visit, because I don’t have any better ideas. That’s awesome that you got the major work done, enjoy your lightened workload!
  • Hope it is okay if I drop in here. I haven’t tracked this or the past two just because I needed a break. I know AF should be coming any day. Face is breaking out like crazy ugh isn’t AF hard enough with that? 

    @bows22 I hope your call goes well! I’m hoping maybe they were saving responses for the call? 

    @the_most_happy I’d personally buy a few items to wear around home if you are working from there if it would help you or even just give back a little bit of normalcy. Sorry to hear about FF being confusing I had similar issues more than once this past fall when I was using it. It’s part of the reason I stopped tracking. I was getting to stressed out or feeling bad if I thought I had O’d but been wrong. Thinking of you and your testing this weekend! 

    @legallykate  the Fitbit is such a thoughtful gift! I love mine! I’m also the gift buyer/ card sender in mine too. Thankfully DH just lets me do my thing. Glad work is calming down and hope you can relax for a while. 
  • @kitchendisaster Yes please join us! It is a ghost town over here this week. BOO to everything about AF really. I hope to never see that B again  :D

  • Sorry I was MIA today, had a busy day with work and then we did our big walk before dinner...ended up being a good day overall! Hope everyone has had a good day too! 

    @bows22 everything possible crossed for you tomorrow, friend! 🤞🏻 So hoping to see you graduate and head on over to January, even though I’ll miss you over here!! 💜

    @the_most_happy hoping you just tested early and you still have a shot this cycle!
