Trying to Get Pregnant

Re: TWW Monday 10/5

  • Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 22/3 

    Timing: -4, -3, -2 ,O

    Typical LP length: 12-14 so I thought...

    Testing: This weekend?

    R/R: FF finally gave me crosshairs on my chart on cd19 which I was surprised to see this morning. I think cd18 is more realistic though. I wish we had hit -1, but I don't think our timing is too bad. I have never O'd this late, so I don't really know what to expect. AF is supposed to come on Saturday (8dpo), so I will probably wait until then to test at the earliest.

    CS/Q:

  • @daisy528 I’m glad you finally have a solid temp shift! Hopefully -1 will still be good timing! Those other times should count too, at least back until -5! 


    Month/Cycle: 16/14/8al 

    CD/DPO: 21/8

    Timing: eod during FW 

    Typical LP length: 13 days 

    Testing: WFAF. Probably. 

    R/R: Today is my wedding anniversary! Since dh and I just bought a house and tons of things for the house we kept it small. We went to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner last night, and had our first date in months! It was very nice! Here’s to 7 years! Besides that, we had a busy weekend packing, doing ground work and working. The weather is starting to cool off here and it’s affecting my temps a lot. Nothing crazy SS wise, Had some mild cramping all morning on Friday at 5dpo, so maybe that means something good? I don’t know. 

    CS/Q: 


  • @photographerwife happy anniversary! I hope that cramping is a sign of something good!
  • @daisy528 your LP shouldn't vary by a day or so. Your cycle will just be longer since you O'd later.

    @photographerwife Happy Anniversary!!

    Afm:

    Month/Cycle: 12/11

    CD/DPO: 26/10

    Timing: -4,-1

    Typical LP length: 13 days

    Testing: debated this morning but decided against it. 

    R/R: TW-LC

    I have the day off and I still sent D15 to preschool. I can do what I want/need without that fool climbing me like a tree
    CS/Q: I didnt temp over the weekend but decided to this AM


  • Hi all, happy Monday!

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 25/9

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: dunno

    Testing: holding out

    R/R: had a great weekend playing, seeing some friends, getting housework done etc.  

    CS/Q: took a few days off temping because it was giving me some anxiety, temped this morning and definitely am in a higher temp range now...now I don't really know what to think.  Also am SS like crazy which is also giving me anxiety - definitely forgot about this part of ttc. 

    @daisy528 great timing even if your O was unexpectedly late!! 

    @photographerwife happy anniversary!

    @canucklehead123 keeping my fingers crossed for you! When do you think you will test/when is your AF due?
    @legendairymomma response in spoiler...

    I would have done the same exact thing! I love the days when I am off and I can send my kiddos to school/daycare. They are always so productive! 

  • @daisy528 I usually have a very regular 28 day cycle, but last cycle was 31 days (lots of work stress and some travel) - so I'm not really sure what this cycle will bring.  Either way, if I don't get AF by Monday I would consider it "late" and I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday anyway so I am going to ask for a test there.  It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend so I'll have lots to distract me!

    @legendairymomma your post prompted me to look at my calendar and see when I can squeeze in a me-day soon!!

    @daisy528 an LP of 8 days is very short (too short); have you talked about this with your OB?

    @acleverusername I haven't simply because I didn't realize my LP was that short! This was my first cycle temping, so I never was really aware of it. 

    ETA: I should be clearer, this was my first cycle temping while TTC this time around. I have temped in the past, and it never showed a LP shorter than 10.

    TW other pregnancies...
    With my cycles where I conceived my two kids, I had an LP of 10-12 days. I'll see what happens this cycle, and go from there. Def worth mentioning to my OB if this becomes a thing...
  • @daisy528 Yes, I would definitely stay on top of that. It could mean not enough progesterone is being produced.

  • Just took a trigger shot today, hoping to ovulate tomorrow. Testing 10/19. It's going to be a long two weeks!
