Re: TWW Thursday 10/1
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 29/9
Timing: -4, -2, O
Typical LP length: 9-11 days
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: Had a good cry fest last night. I can just tell I’m out this month again. This is very hard on my heart and not having anyone to talk to about it is making it that much more difficult. It doesn’t seem to phase my husband at all that we aren’t falling pregnant (and I know how absolutely ridiculous I sound being upset after only 4 cycles).
CS/Q: temp dropping. WFAF at this point.

R/R: I cant believe its October today already. Man time flies by. Well, Im supposed to get AF tomorrow but I'm going to be confused because I have been bleeding everyday since my surgery and still am. How am I supposed to tell the difference between my period and the bleeding im having now already?? How will I know its AF or not? It all kinda looks the same lol I guess maybe I'll just mark it down in FF as CD1 tomorrow and move to WTO anyways 🤷♀️
CS/Q: Temps all over the place.
@chindimples04 I'm so sorry for yiur BFN and that you had a good cry last night and are out
I'm sending you lots of hugs today ❤ TTC is very hard on the heart I agree. I agree. It never does seem to phase the husbands hey? Mine was always the same. I always cared too much each cycle and he was just like meh.. whatever. Its def harder on us women for sure. Hang in there girl.
@mindyb2019 It might be gross or TMI but I would wear a pad and watch for tissue that would indicate your period. There might just also be a change in the flow or color of the bleed with AF.

Testing: WFAF
R/R: these past several days have been so busy! We were in a friends wedding last weekend, and that was very involved. Between that and our move, and just life things have been busy! TW: LC, birth, loss

ETA: I bought this necklace a while back as a reminder to myself, it’s a quote from a book that I really love. I hope it can be a reminder to any of you struggling too.

@mindyb2019 Good question! I think what everyone else says makes sense. Otherwise, just mark it as CD1 and go from there.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/3?
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O, +1, +2

Testing: Don’t think there’s a point.
R/R: I am calling it and saying I either O’ed already or whatever. I think this cycle was a bust. Ah well. Annoying but I guess there’s next month.Today is my birthday! It was a lovely, low-key day.
CS/Q: woke up early today and took my temp way earlier than normal so this morning had a weird temp

R/R: Idk feeling good today, don't have much to say!
CS/Q: forgot to temp this morning but probably for the best as I had a few glasses of wine last night and temp would have been off anyway.
@chindimples04 I'm sorry, the ttc journey definitely hits hard and can catch you right off guard, sending thoughts to you today.
@akuzreve happy birthday!
@daisy528 @chindimples04 @krash_ yep, add me to the lack of productivity club. I think it is a symptom of the luteal phase, it seems to hit me the same time every cycle - just after being on my A-game right up until O and then BOOM I am just a tad useless. I was listening to an interesting podcast at the speaker was making the case for women to broadcast where they are at in their menstrual cycles in the workplace so that people could better work together and understand where each other was mentally etc... I mean it's a bit extreme (like I definitely don't want my boss knowing that I'm about to ovulate HELLO) but it does make sense that your cycle would affect your performance at work for sure.
