Month/Cycle: 24/26

CD/DPO: 17/2

Timing: -3, -1, O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: I don’t know.

R/R: I go here now - I got a positive OPK on Saturday mid-morning and then by nighttime it was blazing positive. FF thinks I ovulated yesterday but I usually count O day as the blazing positive day and am almost always right so I’m going with it. This week starts 6 weeks of client visits in a row - I only get a break on 5 days throughout that time. A little nerve wracking with covid, but it is what it is. We had a really nice weekend - we probably should have taken more advantage of the beautiful weather but we did some productive things inside instead. Sometimes you have to be responsible I guess? 🙃

@bows22 yay for O day but boo to responsibility. Your work schedule sounds crazy coming up! Good luck with everything.

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 38/8

Timing: -2, -1, O

Typical LP length: 🤷‍♀️

Testing: bfn this morning but I know it’s still early

R/R: I got quite a bit of work done around the house and still found time to relax. I’ve been SS really bad this weekend so I’m hoping being at work distracts me from doing that as much cuz I might go crazy otherwise.

gingermama29 · November 2020

@bows22 yay welcome to the TWW! Good luck with this week. I definitely understand the anxiety with that many visits and covid.

@pharmd93 sorry for the BFN today. It is definitely still early though. I hope work can distract you from SS.

Month/Cycle: 17/10

CD/DPO: 67/7 (edited to fix this. Whoops)

Timing: excellent

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Friday maybe?

R/R: We found out my nephew was a close contact with a teacher who tested positive for covid yesterday so my brother and his family are all quarantining for the next 14 days and we're hoping no one gets it. Aside from that news, it was a really good weekend, especially with the election news!! I breathed such a sigh of relief when the race was called. I have a follow up appointment with my OB this afternoon to see what my TTC plan going forward will be (assuming I'm not KU this cycle).

CS/Q:

krash_ · November 2020

@bows22 in person client visits? That would be nerve wracking with Covid. Welcome to the TWW! I hope it flies by and is your last one!
@pharmd93 sorry about the BFN
@gingermama29 FX your nephew and his family all stay healthy! GL with your appointment today! And I was literally crying with that news this weekend!

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: BFN

R/R: I just want this cycle to end so I can contact the RE. Looks like we will be cancelling our Thanksgiving plans in order to do the Letrozole + TI, probably best with the Covid situation anyway. Hopefully AF shows today so I can call the RE. I'm feeling really blah about things. At one point I thought I would be excited to finally be starting treatments but right now I just feel burnt out of all things TTC. And really a lot with life in general.

CS/Q: none

bows22 · November 2020

@pharmd93 yes it is so easy to get in your own head with SS when you don’t have distractions. It’s why I always test on 10 dpo, 11 at the latest because I get my hopes built up too much haha. Glad you had both a relaxing and productive weekend!

@gingermama29 have a good appointment today! I’m sorry about your nephew. Mine just went through the same thing 2 weeks ago but with someone on his bus. Seems like we are all in the clear so hopefully your family is too.

@krash_ yes in person visits to their offices...no one wants to scan everything to us anymore. They did at first but now they just want us to come in and review their files in person because it’s easier in theory, but I’m not thrilled about it. I hope AF shows soon so you can get the ball rolling. I know what you mean about feeling burnt out. It’s why I’m dragging my feet about contacting the new RE. I finally put together the email on Friday but there was an issue with their site and it wouldn’t submit. Hopefully it works today.

@bows22 Gosh, every time I think that your busy work period is over, it starts up again! Good luck with those client visits; that's nerve wracking!

@pharmd93 SS is the worst! I really hope that your work does distract you.

@gingermama29 Good luck with your the OB convo! Hopefully they'll recommend medicated cycles if this cycle isn't successful. But I'm really hoping that you won't need it! FX. 🙏🏻

@krash_ hi! missed you last week. I'm sorry for the BFN. I can relate to the "let's just get this thing started" feeling. And also with the "TTC exhaustion." Hopefully working with the RE will re-energize you. Once we switched to an RE we liked, I found that it really helped me in that way.

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 16/5

Timing: excellent

Typical LP length: on a lower dose of progesterone so tbc

Testing: I'll see how I'm feeling, but I doubt it.

R/R: rave -- the rainy season has started in SF. This means that the fire season is OVER. This year has been a doozy. Of course, be prepared to hear me complain about the rainy season in about a month. I'm most said that we won't be able to use our BBQ as frequently.

CS/Q: FF doesn't like it that I'm not tracking my bbt this month; it's super confused! Also, my RHR has been dropping steadily over the past few days so... 🤷‍♀️

gingermama29 · November 2020

@krash_ hugs friend. Sorry for the BFN. I'm sorry you're feeling burned out on TTC. This whole thing is such a mind f*ck.

@bows22 thanks friend. FX!

@acleverusername yay for fire season being over! That has to be a relief!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 15/1

Timing: -2, -1, O

Typical LP length: 14d

Testing: nope

R/R: I’ve been kinda down about my job lately but I’m feeling better this week. Honestly, I applied for another job that would be a huge pay increase for me and I’m nervous people will find out and think I’m crazy. It’s a bit of a stretch with my experience, but I met all the criteria so why not? It was recommended to me by a former colleague. We’ll see if I get a call!

CS/Q: I think my cycles are jumping around. The last few have been ~24d, so FF was predicting an O at the end of last week. I don’t do OPK but I think it was yesterday based on tracking. FX though I’m right because of timing.

@bows22 I wish I would’ve been outside more this weekend too but it’s supposed to stay in the 60s through the week here.

@gingermama29 good luck at your appt for a plan forward!

bows22 · November 2020

@acleverusername I know, I really don’t ever have a slow time, but the work we are doing now is easy so it’s not bad (when there’s not a pandemic haha). Very happy to hear that the rainy season as started! That was so scary this year.

@emmylou78 good for you for applying for that job! Keep us posted!
