R/R: I went through my emails on Sunday night when we got back and made a plan of attack. DH kind of rolled his eyes and said we were “still on vacation” but I’m so glad I did because yesterday was nowhere near as chaotic as the first day back from vacation usually is. If I can have another totally productive day today I‘ll be all caught up! Just need to get out of bed first haha. In other news, my MIL was chosen to be one of the virtual teachers for their school and I’m so relieved 1. For her health obviously 2. I’ve been a little stressed about how we were going to be comfortable seeing her. Finally some good news with all of this.

@inthewoods23 Come on Thursday!

BFP 2/2014 - DS - 10/2014
@gusgus14 I did check email too, but ignored unless absolutely necessary! Hope your lack of R/R means you are having a chill day!
@DoubleUp8 good luck with your project!! When does it launch? What you described about email was basically my intention, but I did also make lists of which tasks to tackle today versus Tuesday based on urgency.

BFP 2/2014 - DS - 10/2014
@inthewoods23 I’m so excited for you & your 2nd consult! Hope it goes great. And your chart is looking good too!!
@gusgus14 Hope the work rant-worthy situations aren’t too annoying.
Month/Cycle: 27/IDK
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -2, -1 or maybe -3, -2
Typical LP length: 10-13
Testing: Starting tomorrow. “Early bird gets the worm!” Or the bfn...
R/R: Rant: We were so excited we caught the OPK surge in this cycle that was supposed to be an IVF cycle but got delayed. We were thrilled to be able to make use of it, but unfortunately MH had another sperm test that he had to “save up for”, so we weren’t allowed to take advantage of O day or +1 timing. Feeling just ok about our timing.
CS/Q: It looks ok but my RHR dropped to extremely low this cycle (50bpm!) so not having high hopes. Also, feeling nothing to Symptom Spot this time.
