Re: TWW Thursday 1/14
Month/Cycle: 13/1 AL #2
CD/DPO: 19/2 (I think)
Timing: -1,-2,-3
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: not unless I’m late
R/R: Discussion in another thread yesterday inspired me to finally sign up for a Botox course. I had been meaning to do this because I already have some training in this, I just haven’t been officially certified. I don’t think this is something I will do a lot of, but I wanted to do something fun with my continuing education allowance this year. Now I’m kinda looking forward to it!
CS/Q: My temp went down some today, but not below what I anticipate will be the cover line. It makes me somewhat less confident that I actually ovulated. I will wait and see what it is tomorrow, but I really hope it is back up.
Month/Cycle: 32/??
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -5, -2
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: bfn this morning
R/R: Rant: Still in a funky mood. This has not been a good week. Rave: It’s cool today with sunshine, so I’m going to take a walk to get my mind right before hunkering down to work .
CS/Q: Big temp drop despite doing PIO. No symptoms despite also taking estradiol, pretty dang sure I’m out this cycle.
@fitzfizz I'm not certain, but I think a drop shortly after O is one of those patterns that FF mentions. Hope it pops back up!
@keikilove boo being out this cycle! Sucks.

R/R: I'm so over working and we've only been back for 2 weeks haha. Sleeping has been weird lately. Legs are sweating every night and 2 nights ago I definitely had a dream I was hanging out with a Youtuber that lives across the pond in a country I've never been to
This must be what happens when I watch 100 videos from the same person working on getting fully caught up on all their content for a week straight
CS/Q: temps are still trending upward. Thankfully my sweating doesn't seem to be causing an issue with my temps.

@inthewoods23 I've also been having some weird dreams! The other night DH and I drove into a tidal wave... can't remember the others, but just weird stuff. Clearly anxiety induced or something.
Month/Cycle: 2/2

Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: Unsure
Testing: Tomorrow... maybe? So impatient.
R/R: Rant: Furniture we bought in September is being delivered piecemeal. Just called today and wont have our full order until APRIL. Every time I call, it gets delayed by another month or two. Paid up-front in cash and was told everything would be delivered by November. I've been very understanding and everyone I've dealt with has been super nice, but DANG I want my stuff. I feel like at this point we've given the company an interest free loan!
CS/Q: None.
The electric company we're going to have do a panel upgrade told us up front when we scheduled the consult that they are 3-4 months out on completing projects. So it's going to be spring before they get to us. But of course with the pandemic everybody is deciding to do all sorts of home projects being home all the time!
