R/R: 2 days later and I am still enjoying my cinnamon rolls
. It was my MIL's birthday so we got over the weekend so we got together to celebrate. Speaking of pups, my SIL has been wanting a dog forever. I'm actually surprised they didn't get one the moment she bought her house. They have a friend who breeds golden retrievers so I guess they're getting one sooner than they planned (cuz wedding things whenever the hell that's happening). The topic of the initial costs came up and it was just hilarious how much it seems like they didn't think it through. There's the cost of the dog, the first vet visit that would include shots, eventually getting him neutered, plus all the toys/beds/food/crate. Maybe puppy training too? And oh boy I won't even get into with the names....

CS/Q: None right now
However, it sounds like they might be considering Mogul and call him Mo. Why Mogul? Because it was Trump's code name.

Month/Cycle: 7/1AL
CD/DPO: 14/1
Timing: -2,-1,O
Typical LP length: 9 to 10 days
Testing: Planning not to test unless I'm late...so maybe the end of next week?
R/R: O was Valentine's Day and my birthday is end of the month when we would know if this cycle worked...I'm feeling like maybe this cycle is kismet?
CS/Q: Not today:)
Month/Cycle: 3/1AL
CD/DPO: 19/1
Timing: good
Typical LP length: Not sure... cycle has been much longer and wonky AL
Testing: I should probably wait until expected period, I will try to wait as long as possible. 😬
R/R: I am so excited to have a few days off this next weekend! I have been so busy with work the last few weeks.
CS/Q: None at the moment!
ETA : fixed typo
@inthewoods23 Sorry for the BFNs.
@sienna221 damn girl, awesome timing! FX for you whenever you decide to test!
@Panaceia hope this cycle is lucky for you!!!
@rgn12 yay for weekends off!!!
Month/Cycle: 13/13
CD/DPO: 19/1
Timing: IUI so perfect
Typical LP length: 13 ish but I'm not totally sure!
Testing: Holding off until I'm late.
R/R: Having a week where if one more person tells me to "relax" and "reduce my stress" I might punch them in the face. Does that mean they're right? Trying not to stress too much in this TWW and think positive but it's tough! And then worrying that my stress will prevent the IUI from being successful. Rave: I did a short yoga session and a quick meditation tonight to get my head in a better place. I need to make a better effort to incorporate those things more often.
CS/Q: No questions.
