R/R: AF seems to be almost over, which is super weird for me. Anyone else having longer cycles and shorter periods? Although, not complaining because the first two days totally sucked!
CS/Q: none
@inthewoods23 it’s been such a weird week..feels like it’s going by fast but also I have felt like it should be Friday like every day haha. FX for O on Sunday!! Would be great timing!
@rgn12 that sucks the first two days were bad, but hopefully shorter AF here to stay!!

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, HIO, PNV
R/R: Just a long and tiring week. Haven’t been doing ourselves any favours since DH and I have been staying up later than we should to binge a show...
CS/Q: I have been pretty consistently getting a positive and then peak LH surge on CD16, but was low this morning...no idea what’s going on but hoping O is coming so that we haven’t been BDing in vain!! Haha
@inthewoods23 productive therapy days are so important! have fun HIO
@rgn12 I did notice that this past cycle and another one a few months back but haven't noticed anything that would cause it other than global stress
Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: bbt, CBAD opk, PNV, CM/CP
R/R: Having a rough time with some clients in the last week. I feel privileged to get to hold what they choose to share with me (for a few of them, they haven't told anyone any of this before), and I am glad to have supervisor supports as well as my own therapist to help me hold it all. And the weekend CANNOT come soon enough!
CS/Q: I am 100% certain I didn't O yesterday or am even close to it but I am so new to bbt that I feel suspicious@inthewoods23 good luck HIO!!
@rgn12 YES! It’s bizarre. Went from 29ish day cycle to 27 with shorter periods.
@ronnie320 what are you binging? The last 2 weeks I binged Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu), Sharp Objects (Hulu) and Behind Her Eyes (Netflix). Highly recommend all 3!!!
