Re: TWW Thursday 10/15

  • CD/DPO: 20/5

    Timing: -4,2,-1,O+1

    Typical LP length: 12 

    Testing: Probably 10 DPO

    R/R: I called the WTO thread the TWW and forgot the date on the real TWW 🤦🏼‍♀️. I feel like a zombie. I’m going to sleep all weekend I think haha. That being said, I’m in great shape at work. I have to review my teams work on several audits but nothing that will keep things from going out the door. I then have a huge to do list to tackle of things that I’ve been putting off but it will be amazing to work without the added pressure of a deadline. I’m actually even working from home today because there’s not anything I need to be in the office for. I feel so free haha. And can go back to sweatpants! TTC wise I am already SS at 5 dpo so that’s where I’m at haha.

  • @bows22 I’m jealous of your sweatpants! The fact that I have to wear real pants every day is one of the biggest failings of my life. If it helps, SS at 5DPO is at least vaguely logical? It’s possible haha

    Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL

    CD/DPO: 18/2

    Timing: -2, -1, O

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: I’m holding out and WFAF

    R/R: Half day off! I have a few errands to run, then planning to cook some things for the rest of the week. I found a recipe for a plant based fall soup with butternut squash and barley that I am weirdly excited about. 

    CS/Q: I’m getting dashed CH on CD15 that I can’t get rid of even if I discard that one temp. I’m still convinced it was CD16 since everything else pointed to that, so that’s what I’m going with. 


  • @bows22 yay for sweatpants!! I'm working from home today too after 2 days in school and got to sleep in an hour later- the best! So funny you were off about labeling this post, I saw it and was like wow Bows skipped ahead a few days to Thursday... And then I realized it is Thursday LOL. Glad you're at a good place for work and I wish you lots and lots of sleep time!! Your timing this month looks great!

    Month/Cycle: 18

    CD/DPO: 22/8

    Timing: -2, -1

    Typical LP length:  12-14

    Testing: probably this weekend. 

    R/R: it's Thursday so the week is almost over!! I feel like I'm finally getting into a school routine and think my students are too. Today is supposed to be a nice day so I'm hoping for some time outside this afternoon. We missed last night's Big Brother so we'll catch up on that tonight- feels so weird to be watching it this late into the fall! 

    CS/Q: 


  • @fitzfizz either way for o your timing looks great!! Sounds like you have a great day ahead- I love trying new soup recipes. Hope it turns out great!!
  • @bows22 yay for sweatpants!! Much more my speed these days

    @fitzfizz enjoy your half a day off! That sounds so amazing. I’m so curious about the soup. You’ll have to fill us in. 

    @_orchid_ girl, I am right there with you counting my lucky stars that it’s Thursday. Glad you and your students are getting into a good groove  

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: CD26/8

    Timing: good

    Testing: Saturday

    R/R: rave: I finally slept well without the aid of Benadryl! Amazing! Rant: I woke up covered in sweat 😭 guess my dreams were too racy? 😜

    CS/Q: 



  • @_orchid_ Realizing it is Thursday when you thought it was earlier in the week is so much better than the opposite! 

    @mc0303 I’m glad you slept well, I just glanced at your chart and I am tired just looking at your (awesome) timing this month. FX it works out! 
  • @fitzfizz I am tired just thinking about it. It was terrible sex too. MH was like ‘never again’ 😂 Next month we’ll be more chill
  • edited October 2020
    @bows22 I’m getting so much positive energy from your work situation! Hopefully you’re in the home stretch! Also, timing is DEFINITELY awesome.

    @fitzfizz enjoy your half day off and cooking that delicious sounding soup. I’ve been on a big squash soup bender for the past month and I don’t have cool fall weather to justify it! (Supposed to be in mid 90’s today and tomorrow.) Also great looking timing!

    @_orchid_ it’s so nice to hear that’s both you and your students are getting into the swing of things. FX that keeps up!

    @mc0303 hooray for a good night’s sleep! Especially one without any aids. Also loving that dip 6DPO. FX. Also... your poor H!!! Aahahah. Give him a break. Actually give yourselves both a break. 

    Month/Cycle: 9/9

    CD/DPO: 9

    Timing: -5, -3, -2 O

    Typical LP length: 17 days b/c of progesterone 

    Testing: Saturday

    R/R: after 3 nights of absolutely horrid sleep (and I mean horrid... 29, then 25 min of REM sleep according to my wearable) I finally got an okay sleep last night. I still woke up a bunch but was able to doze back to sleep. Today I have a day FILLED with meetings (I have 30 min free between 1-1:30) because I had to move a bunch of them that had been scheduled for tomorrow to today as tomorrow I’m going into our manufacturing facility which I’m SOOOO excited about!!!! It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited about something. 😂 

    CS/Q: I’m dying here.... too scared to test this early.

  • @fitzfizz I think you don’t have enough post-O temps for it to move it to CD16 It will eventually I think if you discard Tuesday’s temp. Have a great half day off!

    @_orchid_ I’m glad you had a happy surprise that it’s already Thursday haha. I keep wanting to talk big brother with you but we are always a couple episodes behind!

    @mc0303 yay for 2 great nights of sleep in a row!! That’s the best 

    @acleverusername your chart is looking great! I know the progesterone helps but still. Wow! Glad you got an “okay” sleep too!
  • @bows22 All about the yoga pants! It's going to be so hard to go back to real clothes, I've been living in either yoga pants or maxi sundresses (in the summer, naturally)


    Month/Cycle: 28/2 AL

    CD/DPO: 24/9

    Timing: -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 14-15 days

    Testing: only if late

    R/R: Training is over! It was good, but exhausting, glad to get back to my normal routine (or, as normal is it is these days). And it's my Friday! Going up to my parents' house tomorrow, hoping I get my COVID test results beforehand (pretty sure they're negative, otherwise I'd wait for them)

    CS/Q: none

  • @mc0303 Well, I tip my hat to you. By the third consecutive day I lit a candle and put on Marvin Gaye’s “let’s get it on” (mostly as a joke!) and my husband’s reaction was “Again?” So clearly we are good at this haha

    @acleverusername We definitely do not have the weather here to justify it, but I just really love fall. FX for Saturday, your timing looks excellent! 

    @bows22 Yeah, I think if I discard that one eventually it will move. If not I may just override so it looks nicer to my crazy brain. 

    @akoros Jealous of your early start to the weekend! Have fun! 


  • @fitzfizz that butternut squash soup sounds delicious - it's one of my favorites (that and pumpkin). perfect for this time of year!

    @bows22 been wearing the stretchy yoga pants more than i'd care to admit given that office is still closed and we're all working from home

    @acleverusername im glad you got better sleep and i hope your day tomorrow is amazing!

    DPO: 8 DPO / 10 DPT

    Timing: -3,-2,-1,O

    Typical LP length: N/A (use clomid + ovidrel to ovulate)

    Testing: Since today is 10 days past my trigger, I started testing so I could test the trigger out fully. Still a faint positive line. If I remember correctly, last round I tested out of my trigger around 11-12 DPT, but I'm not positive. I wish I'd taken note of this! Will be testing daily from now on to see the progression.

    R/R: I am just happy it's almost the weekend. Also, even though I'm a pretty healthy eater, I've been giving into cravings and eating stuff I normally don't for no reason other than I figure TWW is hard enough and maybe the extra calories will help. Haha wishful thinking I'm sure!
