    Good morning all!

    Month/Cycle: 14/14

    CD/DPO: 27/6

    Timing: -4, -3, -1, O

    Typical LP length: we shall see (aka on progesterone and hCG microdose to lengthen and strengthen)

    Testing: looks like I might be able to test 14DPO; the hCG is almost out of my system now!

    R/R: 2 raves and 1 rant: got MHs and mine chromosome analysis results back and it’s all normal. One less thing off the list. Also, in absence of getting a dog (MH doesn’t think we should get one while actively trying to add a human to our family) I’ve decided I’ll do dog-sitting/boarding via Rover. It’s a good way to get used to having a doggo in the house. My first client arrived yesterday and she’s a real cutie. This is a photo from our morning walk. 


    Rant: I had sh*t sleep last night; I woke up around 12am in a coughing fit and my throat was raw by the end of it. The rest of the night was spent tossing and turning. Argh. MH thinks it's because we're drastically changing how we're eating, and I'm not disagreeing with him. I hope the adjustment is swift though. 

    CS/Q: a few temps got adjusted; I’m kinda perplexed that temps are staying so low; when I temped pre-progesterone supplements, I was getting temps in the 98.1-98.3 ranges. Now my chart looks like a 🤷‍♀️:

    @acleverusername great on the tests! Even when you're 99.9% sure it'll be fine, it always is a relief when it does come back fine. And the pupper is adorable, I love chihuahuas/chihuahua mixes. I hope your cough was a limited thing and goes away.


    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 34/5

    Timing: O-2 I think

    Typical LP length: 10-11 days

    Testing: next Wednesday

    R/R: Made a very tasty breakfast with my husband this morning, scrambled eggs with sausage and peppers, and homemade homefries. With plenty of leftovers for the next couple days. Excited for this weekend because we're cooking the last piece of the prime rib we got at Christmas on Saturday.

    CS/Q: slightly concerned I may have actually not ovulated when I think I did and may have ovulated for real yesterday, but could also be just a coincidence or mistaking gas for O pain. I guess we'll see next week! I don't fully trust my temp this morning because I slept in a few hours.




  • @fantasyflyte huh, your chart is strange. Hopefully it’s just the late wake up, and that you actually did O when you think you did. Did you ever get a positive OPK? Enjoy that prime rib!

  • @acleverusername I didn't quiiiite get a positive OPK, but I had a just-barely-not-positive one early afternoon CD28, with a lighter one later that day. Nothing I can do if my system was faking me out, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Although I'm not sure whether to hope for a big high temp, or more around the 97.5 range.
