Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 28/6

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: no desire yet

R/R: I'm going to try really hard to wait to test. If the next week is anything like these past few days, though, it won't be hard to wait! Tonight is the big school committee meeting when they'll take public comment on the district's reopening plan. I'm sure that will be a doozy. I'm up to date on my grading, though, so looks like I can take the afternoon to work on a research project for my PhD program. Yay!

CS/Q: my chart's never looked so good. I don't know if it's TD or my body finally regulating after getting of BC but I'm happy!

@fameonmain2 that really is a great chart, no question on when you ovulated! Glad you are feeling caught up at work too!

Month/Cycle: 26/29

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: -4,-2,O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: 10 or 11 DPO

R/R: False alarm with the meeting yesterday. It ended up being a marketing thing, which I wasn’t aware of since no one from marketing was on the original invite (but one did attend the meeting). My friend who is a partner didn’t even know that the committee existed so it’s all very bizarre. Just happy there was no drama! I have 3 new audits this tax season, one is done and I just got the info for another one. So that is my project for the next couple of days. I have this nice little window the rest of this week where I don’t have anything else to do so I’m just hoping it goes smoothly and I can get the majority of it done in this time! New stuff can be such a pain.

LJMoon6 · February 2021

Why does it feel soooo slow around here this week!? Blah!

@fameonmain2 Yay for being all caught up on grading! What type of research project are you doing?

@bows22 I’m glad your meeting wasn’t awkward yesterday! Sounds like you will have a pretty smooth rest of the week. I love it when that happens!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -4, -2, +1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: 10 dpo

R/R: It’s pretty slow at work right now so I’m having a hard time trying to stay busy. Which means the days are dragging by! Gah. I keep thinking of potential career changes that would make me feel more fulfilled. But, I’m honestly happy with my current job. Just not passionate about the field I guess. Idk. Too much time on my hands lol.

CS/Q: nope

demimondaine · February 2021

ETA for my tags

@fameonmain2 Are they considering in school full time? None of our public schools are doing that but almost all of the privates.

@bows22 I hope your new audit goes smoothly! I like starting new projects, but the follow through is where it gets boring for me!

Month/Cycle: 2 / 1 AL

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: -8 thru O

Typical LP length: not sure

Testing: Maybe this evening after DH gets home.

R/R: I'm definitely not feeling any symptoms that would lead me to believe me this was it! When I was leaving the grocery this morning I felt a pain in my boob, and I was like oh great! Until I remembered that I went to my gyn with this same pain in September and she thought it was cycle related. Darn! Even my heartburn hasn't bothered me since 3dpo, so I guess that's a plus! AF was supposed to start tomorrow based on my original calculations (not tracking O).

We got about 18 inches of snow Monday-Tuesday, but thankfully my cardiologist appt was confirmed at the last second and I raced over there! I have a stress test next week - last time I spoke with him they were only doing the nuclear ST, so I was concerned about that while TTC, but they are back to the good old treadmill now!

CS/Q: My temp was back at the luteal line this morning, so I don't know if that's good or bad.

bows22 · February 2021

@LJMoon6 as soon as I saw your name I realized I missed you yesterday. Sorry! I want to take a vacation to somewhere warm too! Also I hear you regarding the career change. Sometimes I think about that too but at the end of the day I don’t think the grass would be greener. But if you feel unfulfilled it might be worth looking more seriously!

@demimondaine I only like starting new things when I don’t have a million other things going on which is rare. So I’m glad for once to be in that situation! I’m glad you were able to go to your appointment! Good luck tonight if you test!

edited bc hit post too fast

@bows22 good luck with the new stuff at work! I love when I can just focus and check stuff off the to do list work wise.

@LJMoon6 I hear you on the career change. Worth taking a look at if nothing else. I on the other hand am seriously disliking my job so I’m actively looking. But I think that if I was just content, and not unhappy, I would think different. AFM I'm working on coding responses for survey about civics roles and responsibilities. Not the most exciting but I will take the experience (for that job change!).

@demimondaine yes, we will be fully in by March 8. Phasing in starting feb 25 with our elementary schools and fully in by March 8 with the high school. Seems so premature but what can you do? It’s what the community wants. I fully expect it to pass but I anticipate a lot of public comment since we will not be live-streaming our classes anymore which has some up in arms (but I am feeling very relieved about it). Anyways, glad you got in with your cardiologist! Sounds like you got hit with snow. We were lucky and only got a few inches.

@fameonmain2 it sounds like the district is putting the teachers at risk with that strategy; I'm sorry that you feel there's nothing you can do about it. I've got this site bookmarked to keep track of vaccination levels: https://covidvaxcount.live/
@bows22 missed your initial post yesterday, but got the gist of it from the comments. Glad that it was "just a marketing" thing. How bad can those be, right? Happy to hear that you have a small windows of rest coming up next week! Woot.
@LJMoon6 I think it feels slow because most ppl are in the WTO phase. I know all too well about not being passionate about the field. That missing passion in something we do for ~40 hours each week can drastically affect one's mental disposition.
@demimondaine glad to hear your cardiologist appointment went ahead! Good luck with the "good old treadmill" test!

Month/Cycle: 13/13

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -4, -3, O(IUI), +1

Typical LP length: ~14

Testing: 11DPO on 2/7

R/R: I took a day off from the dailies yesterday as it's was my first wedding anniversary and I also had 3 medical appointments throughout the day. So, work wise my day wasn't particularly productive either. I ended up going to see and gastroenterologist because of chronic gut issues, and after discussing my symptoms, he said the quickest way to get a diagnosis is to do an endoscopy/colonoscopy, which I ended up booking for Feb 10. Yay! I'm actually not sure if it's counter-indicated in pregnancy so if I get a positive test (a girl can dream, right?) next week, I might need to reschedule it. The prep for this procedure is quite daunting: 1 day of liquid diet and plus drinking some kind of intestine-clearing liquid; no food or drink the day of procedure. Sounds... delish.

MH and I had a couple of glasses of wine (2.5 to be exact) with our anniversary dinner which we ordered from a fancy-ish restaurants, and I regretted it because the alcohol didn't quite clear by system before I went to bed and my sleep was shitty. I literally can't drink at night any more.

CS/Q: Temp jumped because of shitty sleep and alcohol.

@acleverusername Congrats on your anniversary!

Does anyone have any tips on using the app? I try to copy and paste the standard info so I can type the reply, but I can’t get my app to scroll!

keikilove · February 2021

@sammygirl18 (I’m just lurking this thread today.) The app is notoriously terrible. Many of us just use a mobile browser on our phones to go directly to TheBump website. It isn’t perfect, but MUCH better than the constant glitches in the app.

@acleverusername Happy anniversary! What a great wedding date!

ETA: @sammygirl I fixed the typo to say “phones” instead of “hounds”. Stupid autocorrect.

sammygirl18 · February 2021

@keikilove Thanks! I rarely get on a personal computer...what a bummer!

bows22 · February 2021

@sammygirl18 just go to the bump website on your phone instead. It’s so much better.

@acleverusername happy anniversary! DH has had to do that prep several times and I don’t think it’s something you would want to do while pregnant, plus the sedation I would think would be an issue? Fingers crossed you have to consider that though! I can’t remember, did you trigger ovulation?

fameonmain2 · February 2021

@acleverusername happy anniversary!! 2 glasses of wine will also take me out for the night... I have to remember always to stick to 1. Glad you got that appt but hopefully you won't be able to do it! I've never had one, but my parents used to get theirs on the same day (I know, cute haha) so I would drive them. Anyways, saw the prep they had to go through. It's a little rough!

@sammygirl18 what others have said - mobile is so much better. I prefer the desktop bc sometimes mobile is overwhelming but it does just fine!

sammygirl18 · February 2021

@bows22 thanks for the idea!
