Re: TWW Thursday 8.6

  • Good morning, ladies!

    Month/Cycle: 13/11

    CD/DPO: 18, 1

    Timing: -5, -3, -1, O, not sure if we'll make +1

    Typical LP length: 12 days

    Testing: I'm determined to wait until 12 DPO

    R/R: We had a friend over last night and we had a great time, ate some good food and drank some wine. It was so nice to catch up. 

    CS/Q: Nope

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 25/6

    Timing: -5, -1, 0

    Typical LP length: unsure

    Testing: I said I'd wait til 8/10 (10 DPO) but I'll probably be POAS daily because I am not patient.  I did today and it was a BFN, which I should have expected either way at 6 DPO.

    R/R: I don't know why I get to be so obsessive about things.  This is our first month trying and I'm googling constantly to figure out chances of conception, how early to test, etc.  I'm kicking myself for not getting another round of HIO in between -5 and -1.  I just wish I could relax about it a bit since I know logically it will probably take some time.  Unrelated, today is our 4th wedding anniversary but we have no plans bc of the pandemic.

    CS/Q:


    @bbrahmbhatt So nice to see friends!  We've been able to see family recently and it's been so nice.

  • Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD/DPO: 29/5

    Timing: -4, -2, -1

    Typical LP length: 13 days 

    Testing: Going to try my best to wait until missed period, lets see how that goes :)

    R/R: Every day I want to be able to rave instead of rant, but this morning I'm super frustrated with stuff at work and it's driving me bonkers!! On the bright side, I did eat healthy yesterday and so far this morning. Little wins!!

    @bbrahmbhatt Glad you were able to have a great time with your friend!!

    @kadeephd Happy Anniversary!! I tell myself not to test that early because it's just a waste of a test, but I know the urge to do it can be so strong!

    @kadeephd Happy Anniversary! Can you get a nice takeout dinner or anything? That's what we did for ours back in May from a fancy Michelin star restaurant we would never normally be able to afford.

    ETA @priyadoc yay for healthy eating success! Small steps are the hardest to start IMO. Then it becomes a habit.

    Month/Cycle: 3/2

    CD/DPO: 24/7

    Timing: All of the days

    Typical LP length: last month was 18-19 days

    Testing: @bbrahmbhatt I think I want to wait until 12DPO too. Would love to wait until AF is late but I can't wait 20 days.

    R/R: DONE my crazy stressful work for this week. Just a few meetings this afternoon and one tomorrow and planning to do very little otherwise. Forgot to take my Proov test with FMU this morning but I might just do it at 10dpo since I'm not really confirmed about progesterone levels.

    CS/Q: boring post O but I'll add from my phone if I remember. No potential implantation dip or anything yet  :D

  • @kadeephd happy anniversary! It's hard not to obsess sometimes, but try to think of it as more of a marathon. Thats what MH keeps telling me. I really stressed myself out there for awhile, so I know how you feel. Its definitely easier said than done, especially since the internet is like a rabbit hole for TTGP. 

    @priyadoc yay for little wins! Lol at your testing comment...its so hard to keep yourself from testing!

    @kvh22 that must feel great to be done with the craziness! You're already over half way to 12 DPO! FX so hard for you!
  • @bbrahmbhatt hahah I know it's so hard  :D Watch me end up testing early too lol :)

    @kvh22 Glad you're done with most of your work for the week! 
  • Thanks everyone! We did Indian take-out (one of my favorites) and my parents had cupcakes delivered!  It was really nice.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets obsessive about stuff.  I'm trying to chill out.  I think being home all the time is making it harder since there is less to distract me.  I also think part of it is the availability of cheapie tests.  It I had to spend $5 per test I would wait!  I have some expired ones so I'm using those first lol
