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
@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.

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?
