Re: TFAS w/o 8.3
Putting my response in spoiler since I wrote a novel...sorry!
FFMC: I was still googling and researching ways that my chart can show I'm pregnant even though I've done this two times before and it's really ONLY the elevated temps for 18 days and it pisses me off b/c my LP is so long so 18 days of elevated temps wouldn't mean I'm pregnant so I can't/won't wait for AF even though testing early made me crazy last cycle and I have a weird hope even when I see the BFN b/c of no AF.
What number are you trying for? 2
Month/Cycle? 9/10
WTO/TWW? WTO
Ages of other child(ren)? 2.5
Any thoughts about this cycle? Not really. It's likely our last cycle without any help. Talking to my doctor soon about doing CD21 blood work and then hopefully starting Clomid or Femara next cycle (not sure which yet but I did 3 cycles of clomid last time and there's a lifetime max).
Any questions? Nope!
Rant/Rave? I already ranted on another thread but basically work is super busy right now and it's stressing me out. I should probably stay off the bump and get to work buuuuuut there's too much to do and I don't want to do any of it lol.
GTKY: What crystal/gemstone is your favorite and why? Uhhhhhh I have no idea I don't even think I know very many crystals/gemstones outside of my birthstones.
What number are you trying for? 2
Month/Cycle? 4/4
WTO/TWW? Benched
Ages of other child(ren)? 5
Any thoughts about this cycle? Annoyed I can get into my doctor to get this sorted out sooner.
Any questions? *Data nerd warning* Intrigued because my temps has dropped in the past 5 days. I was getting temps in the 98.15-98.3 range when I started temping following what I thought was my period. After my most recent bout of bleeding, which started tapering over the weekend my temps have been in the 97.6-97.9 range. I feel like this temp drop supports the current theory which is sad, but strangely I am feeling positive because maybe this is a sign my body is returning to normal.
Rant/Rave? It was low enough humidity and temps that we were able to leave the windows open all day while I was working from home. I was so excited to get some fresh air in the house. AC is a life saver, but I hate having the house all closed up.
GTKY: What crystal/gemstone is your favorite and why? Blue Topaz. I love the color blue and it's so pretty!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Well, BFN this morning at 9dpo, so I cried my irrational feelings out. Now I’m just waiting to see if AF shows her face on Wednesday.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? I get to go into my BRAND SPANKING NEW classroom tomorrow to unpack and I’m super excited about it! It’s just to unpack but it’s a brand new building untouched my children and there is something satisfying and distracting about unpacking.
GTKY: What crystal/gemstone is your favorite and why? Diamonds, opals (although I’d never do it in jewelry as it’s way too soft), and anyone of the blue gems. My least favorite is mine (August). 🤣 It’s just....not a pretty green to me.

@DoubleUp8 I'm so sorry you're stuck without being able to see your doctor right now. Sending big hugs your way! Blue topaz is a stunning stone. I'm especially fond of London blue topaz.
@chindimples04 I'm so sorry about your BFN and that it's hitting differently this cycle. I think we all have those cycles. Hang in there. I'm glad you're getting to unpack your classroom today! That's something exciting to look forward to. I love the stones you mentioned, but I also really love peridot. Some people don't like the limey grassy green of it but I think it's stunning.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Ready for it to end. Calling my ObGyn tomorrow.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? It's finals week so I'm slammed with school work. Oddly I feel really calm about all of it though. Even though I have a massive term paper due at the end of the week and I have my final exam due for my other class I am extremely confident in my ability to do really well on all of it. I've grown a lot as a student this semester which is super reassuring. My girlfriend broke up with me two days ago which was absolutely heartbreaking and I'm still trying to work through my feelings about that. MH has been so supportive through all of it and I have an awesome group of friends to reach out to but it's been rough. I miss her a lot.
GTKY: What crystal/gemstone is your favorite and why? The reason I asked this is because I'm witchy and curious lol. I love talking crystals with people and I have a MASSIVE collection so if anyone WANTS to learn more about them I'm SO down to chat about it! My current favorite is obsidian. It's a wonderful grounding stone and it really helps me relax when I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

@chindimples04 I'm sorry about the BFN. Enjoy moving into your new classroom!
@ashaislurking I'm so sorry about your break up. I hope after finals week you get a bit of a break and AF gets her act together.
I called my OB today and got my appointment moved up to 8/18 (it was 8/24). Now I am trying to decide if it's annoying to call again on Thursday, or if I should wait until Friday to call again and see if they have any openings for next week. I know I'm tricky to schedule since they are doing a sonogram followed by an appointment with the doctor, but I am crossing my fingers. My spotting is a lot less and my temps are still dropping, lowest temp yet this morning, so I would love to be cleared to try again in August, even if figuring out my cycle would be tricky.

For the proov strips, they're a bit pricey and idk that your doc would do anything with the results since you're BF and once you stop, your LP could lengthen. Was your LP 14 days long before your pregnancy? I'm sorry, I know that's got to be super frustrating! This article has a short section on the LPD while BF (scroll down): https://www.avawomen.com/avaworld/luteal-phase-defect/. I believe it's something that also just regulates over time even if you don't stop BF so don't make a knee jerk reaction.
midwife just to share what I know and if she has suggestions or opinions or options, which I’m sure she doesn’t. Lol.

@chindimples04 I'm glad you were able to get a hold of your mid-wife and she was able to give you information and help you feel better. Fingers crossed things start looking better this next cycle.

I got a call, negative test, so it could have been a cp, but there's no way to tell since I didn't test. Not all the hormones are back, but those that are look normal. I have a follow-up in 3 weeks for another check after my next period. I asked about intercourse and she said that was fine since the test was negative. So we're off the bench! Happy Friday to me! 😉🍷
