Month/Cycle: 27/29

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -4,-2,O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: BFN today

R/R: I had some brown spotting this morning which is usually how AF starts for me so that’s fun. Another 10 day LP (used to be 12-13 and now all of a sudden I’ve had some 10s the last few cycles). My RE’s office never got back to me on the records so this will give me motivation to call this week assuming AF is coming. I pretty much spent the weekend working and helping people to find vaccine appointments which has been hectic so I’m kind of glad for it to be Monday and “only” have to work. Have a great day all!

@bows22 sorry for the BFN! That sucks. Do you have a new date scheduled for your appointment with the RE? I can't remember. Get those records sent ASAP!

Month/Cycle: 44/3AL

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: Valentine's day, because why not ruin another holiday ha. Jk, we can't have that kind of negativity!

R/R: Finally got all my clean clothes put away in my closet and dresser. Pretty sure some of that was from around Christmas time 😅. Anywho, finished the first 30 days challenge on Friday so we're off doing another 30 days with Adriene to keep us going every day. I've decided I need to buy some more workout clothes so I stop re-wearing stuff for days on end. It's a cold AF week this week with temps in the single digits or barely into the teens (fahrenheit). Currently -4F but that doesn't seem to bother the 2 deer laying in the snow in our backyard. Spot the deer! Didn't bother zooming in or else I'd get nothing but the window screen.

Likely going to be posting and ghosting since work continues to be busy. Figured I'd post in the AM since it's been a few days!

CS/Q: FF confirmed O for Thursday already which is good for our timing, but I'm not entirely convinced it was that day since what Wednesday positive was at 10:30pm. Peak reading was late Thursday morning

@bows22 sorry about the BFN. And so annoying about your RE and your records. Bug the crap out of them!

@inthewoods23 go you with another 30 day challenge! 💪

Month/Cycle: 7/1AL

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, O, +1 (based on when FF says O was)

Typical LP length: 11 days

Testing: Will try to wait until 2/17

R/R: Probably a boring Super Bowl for most but my team won so pretty excited!

CS/Q: No other questions. Posted a pic of my OPKs in the OPK help thread over the weekend asking for opinions on O. But just going to go by what FF marked it as. I don’t temp so really can only do by that and an educated guess.

@bows22 sorry for the BFN

Sounds like you were busy this weekend trying to find the vaccine. Any luck getting appointments? In my state a private citizen developed a website where appts anywhere in the state all in one place, and all I could keep thinking was why didn't the state do this? Happy that it's available but ridiculous how it came about.

@inthewoods23 go you with another 30 days! You'll be doing all the balancing stuff before you know it.

@sienna221 lol the Super Bowl was definitely boring but hooray for the Bucs! On O... hard to pinpoint... I've read anywhere from 12-48 hours after first positive OPK. In the TD group I'm in there's a lot of really serious charters who know all of the rules to the T, and they're always saying that you can't actually pinpoint O to a day without ultrasound, you're always dealing with a range. I think this is different from TCOYF says but I would have to go back and check. Anyways, something to consider.

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 33/11

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: 12-13

Testing: 13 dpo unless AF shows up

R/R: I spent the weekend working on a project for my advisor and had so much fun doing it that coming into work today was even more of a drag. Just a reminder that I need to be looking at other options for sure. Anyways, I'm starting to get anxious about testing - I usually spot 1-2 days before AF arrives, so now I've got a pit in my stomach every time I wipe. Ugh. TTC can really mess with your head.

@inthewoods23 nice job with the yoga! When you say “we” does YH do it with you? I made MH take a yoga class with me on vacation and he loved it but hasn’t done it since haha. And I had an appointment scheduled but they didn’t have the records in time. They are only scheduling 1-2 weeks out so we were kind of like oh let’s just wait until we have them and then schedule. I didn’t realize it would be this difficult. They’ve requested them twice via fax and I’ve called once. I’m going to call again and see if there is another option as far as someone to leave a message for. I don’t have a way to send an email other than directly to the provider I saw there, and I wanted to avoid that but I may end up needing to so that I can find out what I’m doing wrong.

@sienna221 oh that’s fun that your team won! I am usually really into football but not this year for some reason. If I remember (my memory is awful) I’ll go check out your OPK question

@fameonmain2 yes I got about a dozen people appointments! I don’t know how older people are expected to deal with scheduling online when appointments are booked literally within seconds. And funnily enough, I was chatting with a TTGP grad over the weekend who must be in your state because she told me about that site too! And then 5 minutes later I saw a post in a Facebook group I’m in for finding vaccines in our city and someone made a comment about their aunt living in your state and not being able to get one. So I was able to share it there too!

fameonmain2 · February 2021

@bows22 what a coincidence! And you are 100% right about the inequities for the elderly. Our state JUST set up (within the last 2-3 days) a telephone hotline for scheduling appointments. And 75+ scheduling has been open since the end of January. I mean how did the state not think ahead on this??

keikilove · February 2021

@inthewoods23 So proud of you finishing the 30 Days with Adrienne! Congrats! Long gone are your days of thinking about doing yoga but skipping it. Now my lazy behind, on the other hand.... You're inspiring me with the clothes being put away too. I need to get my stuff together.

@bows22 Good for you for helping a dozen people get appointments! That’s huge. I’m sure they’re so grateful to you for the help. I’m sorry about the bfn and the shortened LP. Bodies are so strange. Get those records and get this party started with the new RE🎉

@sienna221 Congrats on your team
winning! I watched the fourth quarter. It wasn’t particularly exciting but still fun to see a bit of action. I haven’t watched sports in ages. Also, re: your OPKs, I just always go with the day after the Peak being O day. But I have to temp to confirm that.

@fameonmain2Love the story of the private citizen making that site! Ridiculous that the state government didn’t do it, but at least someone did. Hope you make it through the workday ok.

Month/Cycle: 33/?

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -2, -1

Typical LP length: 13ish

Testing: Probably tomorrow

R/R: Today is busy, then my calendar is mostly wide open for the rest of the week. Miracles do happen! I’m going to tackle my pile of clothes that needs to be given away, and just get refocused in general with organization around the house.

CS/Q: Things are looking good. But I’m supplementing with progesterone so it’s very possibly just false hope. I have no symptoms whatsoever.

inthewoods23 · February 2021

@bows22 "we" is me and my friend! She came up with the idea in the first place. I wish DH would do some of it with me because he's not flexible at all. I'm flexible enough for the both of us in the bedroom 🤣. Would it be easier to get a physical copy of your records that you can send the new doc? This delay is ridiculous!

@sienna221 based on the score it sounded like it would have been boring to watch.

@fameonmain2 hopefully I'll get better at balance! I can tell one leg is better than the other with my balance.

acleverusername · February 2021

*lurking*

@keikilove your chart looks so good!

chindimples04 · February 2021

@keikilove that chart looks particularly gorgeous. 🤞🏼 it’s no false hope!

@fameonmain2 it’s nice to hear that I’m not only in obsessively checking toilet paper before AF. I’m anxious every bathroom break!

@sienna221 it was one of the most boring Super Bowls I can remember. I really wanted both teams to lose, but really wanted the Buccs to lose more. 🙈 Sorry! Not a Tom Brady fan!

@inthewoods we hit -28 Sunday morning with windchills of -40. It was awful. Can’t stand the cold. Not sure why I live somewhere where the air hurts my face 5 months of the year! But the deer sure do look happy!

@bows22 sorry about the BFN. 👎🏼 I hope you are able to get ahold of your RE office and get things situated!

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 22 days

Testing: Valentine’s Day (because like @inthewoods23 said, why not ruin another holiday 🤣)

R/R: I am feeling particularly exhausted already this week. I started a master’s class (for free) so that’s been taking up a lot of my extra time. Not much to rave about right now. Just feeling generally run down.

sammygirl18 · February 2021

Props to getting all the appointments scheduled! I’m no where close to being in line but I hear it’s a bit messy in our state!

@keikilove that looks so good!

@intothewoods way to go on the consistency!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 28/?

Timing: Solid

Testing: BFN Sunday...but still holding out hope that I was too early.

R/R: Does anyone watch reels on Instagram? There’s one I’ve come across pointing out how similar early pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are like twins. It makes me chuckle and be so frustrated at the same time because it’s so true.

CS/Q:

bows22 · February 2021

@keikilove yay for an open calendar! And a great looking chart. I know you are on progesterone but it’s still a beaut!

@inthewoods23 oh thank you for that suggestion. Not all of my results are on the portal so I can’t do it myself but maybe they would be more willing to send them to me (even though I signed a release). I’m going to try that.

@ch@chindimples04 hey stranger! 😉 Welcome back!

@sam@sammygirl18 pregnancy symptoms being the same as AF systems is the cruelest trick from Mother Nature!
