Re: TWW Tuesday 2.16
Month/Cycle: 7/1AL
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, O, +1

Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 20/2 (I think)
Timing: We did the baby dance a lot this month. We are tired.
Typical LP length: I thought it was 14, but as I am learning, I think it's more like 11.
Testing: I am trying not to test until it's closer to AF, which is projected at 2/25
R/R: Rave: Love a Tuesday start to the work week. Rant: I am mad at myself for not doing OPK sooner. In my previous post, I was concerned that I had 8 high fertility days with no peak - the very next day, at Day 18 in my cycle, boom. LH surge. I had been miscalculating this entire time.
@fifilala516 OPKs definitely help shed light on our cycles! If I always just assumed a 14 day LP or O on CD14 (like sex ed always told us), well we'd never get closer than like -2 for timing lol. Right now I'm pretty consistently O'ing around CD16/17.
Month/Cycle: 3AL
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: -5,-3,1
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: BFN again today, just WFAF now that is expected on Thursday
R/R: Did a presentation this morning and well, something is all screwed up with it so I have some things to fix before I present it again on Thursday. Part 1 of our new TV comes today! aka the TV wall mount lol. Likely won't get it mounted on the wall until tomorrow with the TV arriving on Thursday.
