fitzfizz · January 2021

Month/Cycle: 13/1 AL #2

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: -1,-2,-3

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: Nope. Not unless I am actually late. I think I have come to terms with the fact that testing won’t change anything other than giving me anxiety, so I’m not going to do it.

R/R: I spent the weekend up at my new rural property where there is no data service available, and an internet break was very nice. I’m sad I have to go to work today, but I’m telling myself that at least it is only a 4 day week!

CS/Q: No questions. I have accepted that I just have a slow temp rise that makes identifying ovulation annoying, but there is definitely a shift so I’m pretty sure I did ovulate.

@fitzfizz 100%, I am case in point. Your weekend of solitude sounds amazing! We're very interested in purchasing a 2nd property for just that. Amen to a 4 day work week!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: Not sure?

Testing: POAS since 8 dpo until I ran out of cheapies and fairly certain I got some evap lines with those so that's just adding insult to injury. I was savings some FRERs should AF not show, but alas cracked and got an ugly BFN this morning.

R/R: Rave: 4 day work week!

CS/Q: None

@fitzfizz an internet break sounds amazing right now.

@misspricklepants I was tempted to use my FRERs the other day under the belief that my box of cheapies was bad even though I know they're not. They worked in September so I don't know why I would think the rest of the box was defective lol. Oh the things we tell ourselves only to waste the good tests.

Month/Cycle: 43/2 AL

CD/DPO: 29/13

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: BFN again yesterday, because I'm stupid

R/R: Can we just skip to next week or something? I'm so over all the political BS.

CS/Q: I checked last cycle and noted I spotted for 2 days prior to AF's arrival, so this spotting thing must be a new normal for me. On the plus side, my temps were a lot less erratic this cycle so that was nice

@fitzfizz I am so jealous of your weekend. Trying (and failing) to disconnect more these days!

@ everyone in the states - jealous of your 4 day week!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 14/0??

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Will wait till end of Jan/start of Feb

R/R: not a whole lot going on, forcing myself to get back on the exercise train from today, Christmas break seems to have stretched reaaal long this year.

CS/Q: I feel like this cycle was super weird?? A bit confused - I've been tracking since July and this is the earliest I've seemingly ovulated (day 14), it's usually 16-18. Main question is does the LH look right? As in is it normal to only have the positive LH for one day and negatives the day before and after? I feel like the temp isn't accurate cause I woke up 2 hours later than usual today...

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/7

Timing: Not good. Mentally moving on to the next cycle.

Typical LP length: I don’t really know. Maybe ~14 days?

Testing: Not unless I am late

@misspricklepants I’m sure this isn’t where you are looking, but I can vouch for land in rural Mississippi being quite inexpensive! Regarding testing, I got to a point that I stopped trusting cheapies and kept blowing through FRERs. In November I think I used 12 FRERs. This is part of why I’m not allowed to test early anymore.

@inthewoods23 I second skipping to next week (but not skipping this weekend). This was an extremely Monday kind of Tuesday.

@dsher I could totally be misinterpreting since I am not used to that app, but is that a temp line? What are you using to check LH? If you post pics in the stickied OPK thread we might be more helpful.

@dobbysfavoritesock Im sorry you are already feeling out. At least we can have the solidarity of both being 7DPO and WFAF.

misspricklepants · January 2021

@fitzfizz I'm sure MS is beautiful! We were thinking more like WI haha... hoping to find a lake house eventually. I totally get the testing thing and I admire your restraint! What's your experience been with cheapies, evaps or false positives? What brand(s) have you used?

inthewoods23 · January 2021

@misspricklepants I vacation with DH's family to northern WI every summer. We love it! Except for that fact that there are 6 of us in a tiny cottage so it sucks feeling on top of each other. Love being on the lake though.

misspricklepants · January 2021

@inthewoods23 we love it up there too! There's so many lakes so hoping something affordable will pop up soon.

dsher · January 2021

@fitzfizz it is a temp line! Annoyingly was using the clearblue for OPK so it was a smiley face yes/no result. V confused again today as it seems I still don’t have a temp rise but another negative LH. Guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow and see 🤷‍♀️

inthewoods23 · January 2021

@misspricklepants It's so hard to find affordable without feeling like you're living in a shack or something so small. Lake property ain't cheap! DH's family always rents a place for a week. They don't own anything up there. My parents were considering getting a place up there sometime last year but in reality, we likely wouldn't use it often enough for it to make sense, and I don't think my parents would live there for extended periods of time. Now, if my family had a boat, skis, snowmobile, and what have you, we'd be more likely to use it a lot but financially it doesn't make sense for them.

misspricklepants · January 2021

@inthewoods23 totally makes sense! We went up with friends who have a family lake house and while it was basically a shack it was really nice not to have to really worry about keeping it pristine. Now would be such a great time to have one with working remotely... maybe someday!
