Re: TWW Monday 10.19

  • Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL

    CD/DPO: 22/6

    Timing: -2,-1,O

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: WFAF

    R/R: Monday always seems to come so quickly. I am working on planning an actual out of town vacation though! I wanted something to look forward to. We are planning to drive, camp, and hike with one other friend, so I think COVID risk is probably less than my daily life. I’m also planning a small dinner party, so that can also keep me motivated. I’m telling myself this is going to be a better week! 

    CS/Q: No questions, just still annoyed with my dotted CH.

  • Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 40/8

    Timing: O-1

    Typical LP length: unsure 

    Testing: Wednesday 

    R/R: it’s Monday again! Already have done quite a bit today so pretty happy I’ve been productive today. I need to schedule our cleaner to come next week because we need a deep clean. SS already has begun. Last night my husband was eating yogurt and the smell was so offputting to me that I made him switch flavours. But maybe it was just gross yogurt. 🤣 

    CS/Q: temp was a bit down today but still above coverline. Though I did wake up with my mouth open and a stuffy nose. 😅😅 oh well!

  • Month/Cycle: 28/2 AL 

    CD/DPO: 28/13

    Timing: -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 14-15 days

    Testing: only if late...but it' getting closer

    R/R: Good weekend trip, though I'm still worried about my dad. He's definitely depressed and in denial, which sounds like it was really triggered by his 69th birthday back in January. I know it's been a rough year and milestone birthdays can be hard, but he's hitting the age where you really need to consciously work at things unless you want to deteriorate and he's given up. As for today, getting cracking on performance reviews, can't put them off anymore as I have a 1pm meeting with my boss to go over them

    CS/Q: none

  • @fitzfizz sounds like you have some really nice plans coming together! I agree that Monday always comes so quickly...I had some serious Sunday scaries this weekend haha

    @AKuzReve yay for a productive Monday morning...good for you!

    @akoros I’m sorry about your dad. That sounds really tough for him and for you. 

    Month/Cycle: 11/10

    CD/DPO: 26/3

    Timing: spot on! -2, 0 (IUI), +1

    Typical LP length: on progesterone so at least 14

    Testing: end of next week (Friday is the goal)

    R/R: Had a nice relaxing weekend! DH and I went on a couple long walks, but other than that just pretty much hung out at home which was nice. I can already tell that today is going to be a not fun Monday. I started the morning off behind (which I knew was going to happen since I didn’t catch up on my work last week). I hate when I do that to myself haha.

  • @akoros I'm sorry about your dad. Do you live close by?

  • Thanks @runningoncookies and @acleverusername. Not terribly far away, but it is a 3-hour drive so I really only get up there a few times a year. With COVID we're not traveling/as busy and I'm teleworking full-time, so I've been trying to go up more than I usually would to see them and help out. 
  • Month/Cycle: maybe 1

    CD/DPO: cd 17/ 2 or 8 dpo... I didn’t track bbt this cycle and feel like I ovulated early, but my app lines me up with “normal” ovulation 2 days ago  so I’m not sure  

    Timing: would be perfect if I ovulated earlier.

    Typical LP length: 11 days

    Testing: when the app says I’m late, so 9ish days.

    R/R: I’m new here and from looking at above posts this is just what’s up? 

    CS/Q:not sure what this is

    @paytonpedro R/R is rant and rave, so what’s good what’s bad. 😀

    Thank you! I should remember this but it’s been so long since I’ve been here!! 
  • @AKuzReve I also need to schedule a deep clean of my house as well. I haven’t had someone come in in months and my cleaning lady texted me last week out of the blue. I don’t know how she knew! 

    @akoros So sorry about your dad. That has to be really tough. I hope he starts feeling better soon. 

    @runningoncookies +1 for starting the week off behind! I don’t know why I do this to myself. 

    @peytonpedro Haha yes, rant and rave, but if you don’t have something to rant or rave about, can also just be an update. CS/Q stands for “chart stalk/questions” so if you have a chart that you want to post about, or have questions about the chart or TTC you can put it there. 
  • @fitzfizz thank you!!! ❤️
