Re: TWW Wednesday 10/21
I was too entertained reading about the “butt baby” to post the dailies this morning, so thanks @krash_!
Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL
CD/DPO: 24/7 or 8
Timing: -2,-1,O or -3,-2,-1
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: WFAF
R/R: I already have a very full schedule and I’m procrastinating about going in today even though I told myself I would go early (spoiler alert, did not). I think I’m going to get a PSL this morning to make it better.
CS/Q: Temp rise looks nice
@fitzfizz it’s 7:30 am here and I’m definitely still in bed. 🙈 Procrastinators unite! Lol
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 18/1
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Typical LP length: 11 days, but hoping its lengthening
Testing: 10/30
R/R: DH let me sleep in today and I could just kiss him for it! ❤️ 🤣 Not much else going on today. I have some lessons I need to record for math, so hopefully I can get that done today.
CS/Q: No cross hairs yet but I’m certain yesterday was O day. Only temping through Friday. ETA chart because I forgot. 🤣
Me: 26 DH: 27
TTC #1 | June '18-August '18 | DD | Born April 21, 2019 | Due May 10, 2019
TTC#2 | June '20-February '21 | DS | Due October 27, 2021
@chindimples04 yay for sleeping in! Good luck recording those math lessons.
Month/Cycle: 11/10
CD/DPO: 28/5
Timing: -2, 0(IUI), +1
Typical LP length: on progesterone so at least 14
Testing: next Friday
R/R: So going to the grocery store last night was totally worth it! We made a new recipe - turkey burgers with cheddar, apple, and carmelized onions and it was delish. Had some blue cheese dressing to top it with...YUM. Today is a big paperwork day for me at work, but I don’t have really too much else going on. So I’m hopeful that I can get it all done with minimal stress!
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 28/2 AL
CD/DPO: 30/15
Timing: -3, -1
Typical LP length: 14-15 days
Testing: Probably today, though I think I'm getting my period any minute now. I have cramping, feel super swollen/bloated, and there's a tiny bit of mucousy blood when I wipe. I actually got up in the middle of the night to put on a maxi pad because I swore I'd gotten it.
Sorry if this is irritating and sounds like I'm not into this, I have a pretty regular emotional cycle lately: WTO = "We will do this and want it so badly! This is it! We got this!", TWW = "oh god, I'm not ready, I can't do this" *hides under a blanket*, confirmed period = *angry expletives*. It's a bit of a rollercoaster, but at least it's been consistent
R/R: Freaking out. My mother texted me last night that she has a fever of 102. Her only symptoms right now are diarrhea and fatigue (no respiratory issues, still has sense of taste, not dizzy/faint, no headache, had some chills earlier yesterday but they're gone), which could be all sorts of things, but I'm still terrified. She has GBS, so her immune system is already compromised. My dad, of course, won't let her distance from him, and he has all the underlying high risk factors (he has CML, a-fib, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure....you name it). We've all been trying to be safe, but do go grocery shopping and have been out to eat (all outside, with the exception of Saturday...which I'm really really regretting). I know it's early, but I'm going to get a test today anyway and (unless we find out that she has something else) a test early next week. My mind just can't help spiraling to the worst case scenario, I barely slept last night.
CS/Q: none right now
Edited to add an update: Mom's fever is gone, phew. She's getting a COVID test at the doctor's today, though, just to be sure. Hopefully I freaked out over nothing! Got my own test, even though I know it's too early, but it wasn't a total waste because they also snagged me for a flu shot while I was there so that's done.
@fitzfizz Your chart looks great!!
Month/Cycle: 29/lost track
CD/DPO: 24/6
Timing: -5, -4, -1, O
Typical LP length: 10-13, but progesterone will draw it out another 5ish days
Testing: Sooner rather than later
R/R: No real rants today. Rave is that I slept more than 8 hours last night & feel amazing today! I have small loose ends to tie up to close out a work project, then lots of organizational stuff to do like make dental appointments, schedule a website consult, etc.
CS/Q: Big temp drop. Hoping for the best!
@akoros oh no! I hope your mom does not have COVID. And you, for that matter. I can relate to that emotional rollercoaster.
@fitzfizz I hope that PSL did the trick
@chindimples04 I'm taking a page out of your and @krash_ 's book next cycle and not charting.
@runningoncookies my mouth is watering at the description of your meal. FX that it was implantation-inducing!

@keikilove Your chart also looks very promising!
Month/Cycle: maybe 1
CD/DPO: 19/ unsure maybe 9ish
Timing: well so maybe -1 & 0
Typical LP length: 11 days
Testing: thinking I may test Saturday morning before work....
R/R: ok. So I wasn’t sure where else to put this but figured this was the best places as any... so just for the heck of it I plugged my lmp and average cycle days into the ovulation calculator on this app and basically when I was feeling like I was ovulating (oct 11/12ish) is when it said I likely was- I know they can be wrong but I’m also on Ovia and Ovia feels like its WAY off. Like had me “ovulating in the 17th.... uh not even on 26cd months Ovia. No girl. It also for some reason is projecting my af after cd26... my average is 24. So not entirely sure what’s going on there. I usually track bbt but was out of town so I didn’t.
Also all these numbers are hurting my head and I hope I didn’t mess any of them up lol.
CS/Q: anyone else with a shorter average 24 day cycle ovulate early like that ever (cd10ish)?
Butt baby had me rolling and also second guessing our anal game 🤔🤔🤣🤣
@akoros I hope all is well with your mom! 🤞🏼🤞🏼I had to do the Covid test in July and it sucks.
