Re: TWW Thursday 11/12

  • For @chindimples04, I’m pretty sure I go here now, so it’s time to switch to pineapple socks haha


    Month/Cycle: 11/4 AL

    CD/DPO: 16/2 

    Timing: -3, -2, O

    Typical LP length: 13 days

    Testing: Goal is to hold out as long as possible

    R/R: I thought O was going to be today, so I had booked a massage and facial for after work today with the goal of being very calm. I ovulated a bit early, so now I’m telling myself it will help keep me calm to encourage implantation. Either way I can’t wait to be done with work! 

    CS/Q:  One more high temp tomorrow and I get CH for CD14. I think it was really early AM on CD15, but close enough, so I’ll go with the CH.

  • @fitzfizz oooh a massage and facial sound amazing! Enjoy every minute!!

    Month/Cycle: 17/10

    CD/DPO: 70/10

    Timing: excellent

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: BFN

    R/R: I couldn't stop myself from testing this morning even though I know it's still early. 🙄

    The downside of being off yesterday is that the whole day felt like Saturday and working today is throwing me off so much! I suppose the bright side is tomorrow is Friday! My sister is going to visit this weekend which I'm looking forward to.

    @fitzfizz welcome to the TWW party! Nice socks! Your timing looks great regardless of whether or not you O’ed on CD14 or early CD15. Enjoy your facial and massage. 
    @gingermama29 still early and your chart still looks great! Those are some consistently high temps! 
    @Kenneylynn3 replying to your yesterday’s tag here so I don’t bump yesterday’s thread. What does YW do that she gets a break at 8pm? 

    Month/Cycle: 10/10
    CD/DPO: 19/8
    Timing: excellent
    Typical LP length: on lower dose of progesterone so idk Testing: probably on Monday
    R/R: I did not marry MH for his time management skills! Yesterday we were leaving for the cabin (it’s actually just a house but in the mountains). He had the day off and I had a pretty busy day with lots of meetings. So I told him, we need to leave between 2:30 and 3pm so that I can take my 3pm meeting from the car (and we wanted to leave early since it was a 4hr drive). Well he first decided he was going to do all prep on his day off: laundry, cleaning the kitchen, cooking smoked salmon. And he also didn’t get a lot of sleep the night before so was tired and needed to take a nap. Anyway, at 2:40 as I was packing up the car with all of my things he’s still telling me that he needs to let his clothes dry for bit. I basically did all my things, then went and sat in the car and started my call on time. Afterwards he had the audacity to tell me that he thought we had more flexibility in our timing. 🙄 The only reason I wasn’t more kissed off with him is because I still figured out a way to start my meeting without too much disruption. 
    CS/Q: nope; RHR is kinda high but I haven’t been sleeping well for the past 2 night.

  • edited November 2020

    I was nervous about posting in WTO since I haven’t been through this before, but FF says I should go here now and after stalking real hard I think I’m ready to dive in

    Month/Cycle: 1

    CD/DPO: 21/3

    Timing: excellent

    Typical LP length: unknown, this is my first cycle since removing my IUD after 5 years.

    Testing: hoping to hold out until next Saturday

    R/R: I’ve been all thrown off the last few days. I normally work an 11:30-8pm shift at work, which gives me time to work out and run errands as needed. Right now we have mandatory training going on so I need to be online from 8:30-5pm.  No time for errands/chores, and I feel like I’m rushing through my my morning run. My run is the big thing I normally look forward to each day, so I think rushing through it has just really thrown off my focus.

    CS/Q: DST really threw off my temps (high), and my CVS bbt thermometer started acting wonky on CD 14 (repeatedly saying it was at temp in less than 10 seconds) so I had to swap thermometers mid cycle since I couldn’t trust it. I know I’ve got a clear temp shift, but I’m not sure if I should trust Mon or Tues as O day. Being off by a day isn’t going to drive me absolutely nuts right? Should I try to push testing out another day in case O was maybe early Tuesday?


    Edited for formatting

  • @fitzfizz very jealous of your massage and facial! Enjoy!

    @gingermama29 I’m sorry for the BFN, definitely could be too early though. Sending all of my hopes your way!

    @acleverusername it does always seem like it takes longer to get ready for a trip than you think it will. Have a wonderful time!

    @grizzlymama86 FF may end up moving your CHs if you have more of the higher temps. I think testing next Saturday is reasonable with either O date though 
  • Oops forgot my own check in

    Month/Cycle: 24/26

    CD/DPO: 20/5

    Timing: -3, -1, O

    Typical LP length: 12 

    Testing: I don’t know

    R/R: I didn’t get a chance to check in yesterday - I have to take off tomorrow so I need to cram 3 days of work into 2. And naturally I have had a million other things come up too. But I’m excited to be off tomorrow and get a mental break. And maybe catch up on some of my non-work-related to do list!

    CS/Q:

  • @bows Good luck with that workload! 

    @mvt2003 I see you lurking!

  • @fitzfizz enjoy your facial and massage. That sounds so nice.

    @gingermama29 it's still early! Hoping this is your cycle with those temps.

    @acleverusername wh t yh did would drive me crazy. Granted, dw does things like that often. She works as a truck loader at a distribution center from 10:30- usually 11. So her last break is around 7:30 or 8 pm.

    @grizzlymama86 It's never fun when the thermometer starts to act up mid cycle. Hopefully you'll get back to your normal routine soon. 

    @bows22 enjoy your long weekend!

    Month/Cycle: 5/ 2 AL

    CD/DPO: 20/ 7

    Timing: excellent

    Typical LP length: 14

    Testing: maybe Tuesday

    R/R: we started to run errands. Only got 2 done and had to come home. 2nd errand was rushed, which I then forgot half of what it was there for, so it's almost like I ran 1 errand (not even my errand). DW says "well, you can go at this time." Meaning she won't go and that just makes the errands take longer because I don't have help.

  • @gingermama29 Yeah, 10DPO is still early, I’m not counting you out yet! Hopefully work ends quickly for you today. 

    @acleverusername I’m irritated with your husband on your behalf. Mine is similar. No matter what time I tell him he needs to be ready, he never thinks to pee or fill a water bottle until after I start to head for the car. Men are annoying (but I guess we will keep them if we have to). 

    @grizzlymama86 I’m impressed that you are that motivated to run! I try to force myself to run in the morning so that I can feel accomplished and not like it is hanging over me haha. As for your O, you could definitely argue for CD19, so I think waiting an extra day to test is a decent idea unless an early negative wouldn’t bother you. 

    @bows22 Anything exciting planned for your 3 day weekend? 

    @Kenneylynn3 Gah, sorry your wife isn’t being helpful! I hope you get all of your errands done and it isn’t too frustrating. 
  • @acleverusername ahhh I would've been so irritated with MH if he did that. Men have the weirdest priorities sometimes.

    @grizzlymama86 next Saturday looks like a good test date. 

    @bows22 Thank you friend 💕. Enjoy your day off tomorrow! Sounds like it is much needed and well deserved!

    @Kenneylynn3 ugh that's frustrating. Sorry YW isn't being helpful with the errands. I hope they get done quickly!
  • @fitzfizz thank you for being annoyed on my behalf. Men! 

    @Kenneylynn3 I hate being rushed when doing errands; and then feel awful when I feel they weren't properly done so I totally feel your frustration. Sorry that YW isn't being helpful. 

    @grizzlymama regardless of your actual O day, your timing is indeed EXCELLENT. I mean... how do you even do it?! Hahaha. I'm envious.

  • @Kenneylynn3 I hope YW changed her mind and decided to help you out! 

    @fitzfizz I was going to mention this tomorrow when I start the dailies before dawn because we have to be at the hospital at 6 AM for MH’s colonoscopy. Fun times. So just a chill day for him and am thinking I might be able to get some stuff done that I’ve been meaning to.
