DoubleUp8 · July 2020

Month/Cycle: 3/3 or 4?

CD: 14 or 1?

WAYDTGKU: HIO, CM/CP, BBT

R/R: so confused. Thinking this has to a period. There is a lot of flow, like more than my last period which was unusually light. That said, CP and CM made it seem like it should be O around now, but no temp spike. Haven't indicated flow to FF yet. Can I switch FF chart retroactively? Or do I need to call this AF today?

@DoubleUp8 ugh sorry your cycle is so confusing. I hope you get some clarity. Do you use OPKs too?

Month/Cycle: 13/8

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: benched for 1 more week!

R/R: not much going on today. I got a painting kit from the library yesterday that accompanies an instructional paint video. DH said he was interested too so I'm going to see if I can get one for him too and then we'll do a paint date night this weekend!

I also started my final week of BC yesterday which means after AF, I'm officially off the bench! 😊

@DoubleUp8 ugh! Sorry for the confusion! You can go back and edit your data from previous days in FF, so I think if you wanted to wait another day you could then go back in and edit AF dates if necessary.

@gingermama29 yay!!!!!! You are so close to being off the bench!!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: temping, tracking CM, OPKs, PNV, baby aspirin, progesterone after O

R/R: So I brought my cat to the vet yesterday, and they said they can’t find any reason for the hair loss by her ear. He said it’s not ringworm and he doesn’t see any other spots of irritation anywhere. So basically it could just be that she accidentally pulled a chunk of her fur out while scratching or rubbing? Idk. We are going to monitor and make sure it improves, or else she has to go back.

CS/Q: OPKs are slowly slowly slowly getting darker. I guess my quick rise of the last couple cycles is no more haha.

DoubleUp8 · July 2020

@gingermama29 I don't use OPKs. I just started temping this cycle, so it's just my luck that it's a wacky one.

@runningoncookies glad your kitty is ok! Hopefully, she just got a little overzealous scratching.

Saw a dip in my RHR that in the past I have seen around Day 2 of AF, so wondering if the light flow I had 2 weeks ago wasn't a true period and this is one now? TW: Loss mentioned

I got a BFN after 10 dpo with a dollar store cheapie which I know was early. I never tested again or used a FRER because I had spotting and light bleeding a day after AF was expected (the morning I planned to test), so I am wondering if I had a CP. That would explain this late period (cycle would be about 5 weeks long), and the really strong cramping last night (like curl into a ball pain), which is not normal for me during AF.

DoubleUp8 · July 2020

Cycle 3 take two

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: HIO, CM/CP, BBT

R/R: Based on the flow over night and the heavy increase today, I'm going to call this AF.

acleverusername · July 2020

@DoubleUp8 I second what @runningoncookies said about being able to adjust your chart retroactively. Also, I am sorry about your cycle being so weird. MH calls human bodies an engineering failure and I don't disagree with him.

@gingermama29 on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you to be almost off the bench? Honestly, once you're off, things are going to happen for you quickly. FX.

@runningoncookies I am sorry your kitty is having issues. Hopefully it's just like you said: a self-grooming accident. Is it bothering her?

******************

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: HIO, bbt, OPKs, CM, PNVs, Ubiquinol, melatonin, seed cycling, myo-inositol/d-chiro-inositol, maybe castor oil packs again this month? Medical testing this cycle: ultrasound and HSG.

R/R: rant -- my female parts decided that a 24-day cycle with an LP of 9 days is sufficient, so I find myself here again. Honestly, I'm piiiiiiiiissed. I started spotting on 8DPO which is super early, so I knew AF was on her way (though of course I held out hope that it might be "implantation bleeding"). Anyway, I'm waiting for progesterone tests from 6DPO and 9DPO (yesterday!) so we'll see what they say. Also waiting for a whole bunch of other tests.

rave -- had a really great conversation with an RE yesterday, and I really don't think I'll be talking to others which I had been planning on. MH and I both liked her style and the preliminary plan we discussed. I am looking forward to some medical testing that will happen this cycle.

CS/Q: nope/nope

bbrahmbhatt · July 2020

Hi everyone, I’m new to the dailies!

Month/Cycle: 13/12

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: first trial of Clomid this cycle, opks, diet/exercise

R/R: MH got his semen analysis results on Monday, which were normal. So now we have to figure out what my issue is. Waiting for my doctor to get back to me about when I can get my HSG. I’m so glad to be in the community with all of you!

CS/Q:

@DoubleUp8 I’m so sorry about your cycle craziness. It would be nice if upper bodies could just cooperate sometimes!

@runningoncookies one of my good friends has a similar issue with her cat losing hair and it turned out to be an allergy. They gave kitty steroids and the hair is growing back nicely. FX that it is nothing serious.

asf0613 · July 2020

just lurking on dailies today but yay @gingermama29! cannot wait for you to be unbenched!

chindimples04 · July 2020

@doubleup8 well that’s confusing! I would go in and call today CD1-2.

@gingermama29 ALMOST THERE!
@runningoncookies could it be allergies? Can cats take benadryl? I know we have done benadryl for my dog when her allergies get bad!
@acleverusername ugh! Sorry for CD1. 9 day LP is not sufficient. 🙄🙄 is be very irritated with my body, too!
@bbrahmbhatt welcome! Glad the SA was normal and you are able to try to start narrowing down the issue.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 16! 🤬🤬🤬

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, CP, BBT, HIO EOD/ED

R/R: WHAT THE $*^£%#€ IS MY BODY DOING?!?!? O is supposed to be tomorrow and OPKs are still SOOOOOO light. 😫 But literally everything else is pointing to ovulation coming. Fertile CM, fertile CP, had my pre-o dip and it’s back up today. RAWRRRRR. I did finally start painting our master bath vanity today (to many errands yesterday interferes with starting) and I LOVE the color! Can’t wait for it to be done so I can show it off!

CS/Q: For your viewing pleasure. 🙃

optimisticoctopus · July 2020

@acleverusername it doesn’t seem to be bothering her but it is bothering me! Haha I feel like we get so worked up over our pets! Sorry for the cycle confusion. I’m glad that you were happy with your RE that you talked to!

@bbrahmbhatt and @chindimples04 I don’t think it’s allergies! She’s going to be 5 in October, and we’ve had her for over 4 years. The most recent life changes she has had is moving to our house over 2 years ago, and switching her food brand about a year ago. And she doesn’t go outside either! The vet didn’t seem to think it was of any concern, I just don’t like that something could be potentially wrong! Maybe I am projecting a little bit of my own anxiety about myself onto the situation 😂

Also @chindimples04 last cycle I had either watery or EWCM for like 10 days and a superrr late O. Hopefully that is not the case for you but I know how frustrating it is when your OPKs don’t agree with what you want them to say!

chindimples04 · July 2020

@runningoncookies well, I just took my midday OPK and it was a .4, so I guess that’s hopeful. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel like my going crazy. 🤣

DoubleUp8 · July 2020

@acleverusername I like your husband's say! I'm sorry your body is being wacky too. I hope your tests help you find a path forward!

@bbrahmbhatt Welcome! I hope your doctor gets back to you soon!

@chindimples04 That is so annoying, especially waiting for something you know is coming. It feels like that Tom Petty song, the waiting is the hardest part. Hope O comes soon!

mamasloth · July 2020

@DoubleUp8 I'm sorry your cycle is so confusing! I've never experienced a CP (that I know of), but it sounds like that could be what happened.

@gingermama29 Yay for getting off the bench!

@acleverusername I'm glad things went well with your RE! A good dr. is hard to find.

@chindimples04 I was going to suggest OPK'ing more often, but it sounds like you did and things are going in the right direction! I've had months where I got dark OPKs over the course of a few days and months where I got light and dark OPKs on the same day.

Month/Cycle: 18/1 AL

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, HIO

R/R: I can't remember where I was posting about this, but my dr. did bloodwork at my last appointment to see if I have any issues with my thyroid or if I have anti phospholipid syndrome. Both tests came back negative, which I want to be happy about, but it's frustrating when there's "nothing wrong" and we still can't get a sticky baby. So, we're back to HIO and hoping for the best!

CS/Q: n/a

gingermama29 · July 2020

@runningoncookies I'm glad there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your cat. Though not having an answer for why there's a chunk of fur missing is frustrating, I'm sure.

@acleverusername hahaha I'd say I'm about a 15! So excited to finally start actively trying again! Sorry for CD 1 but I'm glad you had a good chat with your RE and got a good vibe. That's definitely important!

@bbrahmbhatt I hope you hear back from your doctor soon! And welcome!

@asf0613 thank you friend 💕

@chindimples04 ugh I'm sorry your body is being so frustrating. I hope things clear up quickly and you O soon!

@mamasloth the mixed emotions are totally understandable and valid. Hugs to you.

DoubleUp8 · July 2020

@mamasloth being conflicted seems a very valid response. Especially when you feel like there should be an explanation.

chindimples04 · July 2020

@DoubleUp8 tom petty is one of my fsvorite artists! 😍 I was listening to him while making dinner. Crazy!
@mamasloth I’ve been testing 3 times a day since CD 10 as my old average O day was CD13. 🤣 probably why I’m going a little crazy. I’ glad you’re results were normal but completely understand the “no answers for what’s going on” sentiment. I’ve had various medical conditions where that’s been the “answer” and it has put me over the edge emotionally. Creepy internet hugs to you.

My night time OPK was even darker (.5) so I’m optimistic that O is late tomorrow or Friday.

acleverusername · July 2020

Had to post and ghost today.

@chindimples04 I am so sorry the OPKs are messing with you. We're so reliant on those darn things and for them to fail us at our moment of need... well it's a cruel joke. Hopefully tomorrow? FX.

@mamasloth I can understand how frustrating it must be to have tests coming back saying "everything's fine." I something contemplate whether I have it better knowing that something is wrong (though not exactly what it is but plenty of symptoms showing that stuff ain't right). At the end though, neither of our end goals is achieved. Hang in there.
