**This is a thread that welcomes all regardless of where they are at in their TTC journeys. Please be mindful of topics that are discussed that could be hurtful to those going through tough times. Mention of children or pregnancies of others should have a TW (trigger warning) and be in a spoiler if possible, and only be mentioned if it is extremely pertinent to the conversation.

Re: TWW Tuesday 3/30
Month/Cycle: 28/31
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -2,O
Typical LP length: 10-13 days (doing some testing next cycle to see what’s happening)
Testing: BFN today
R/R: Our second quote for the backyard went much better! He actually gave the same estimate as the other guy but then showed us a smaller area that would be easier and would cut the costs significantly. It’s still more than DH wanted to spend so I didn’t bring it up all weekend (but made sure we spent plenty of time outside) and by Sunday he said he wanted to go for it. Yay! The guy has to come back today because he didn’t have the right stuff with him to come up with a formal quote but assuming there’s nothing that would make him change his rough estimate we are going to do it. I’m excited and it’s a nice distraction from the BFN that’s hitting me a little harder this morning.
CS/Q:
@bows22 sorry about the BFN ❤️ but glad your second quote was better! Do you know when you'd get started with the work, or are you just in planning phase?
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 27/14
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: BFN this AM, just WFAF
R/R: IT is frustrating me this AM. Sometimes I feel like they don't read the chat where I spell out exactly what the problem is because they'll ask "try using your work credentials" right after I told them I tried every possible combo of my work credentials. 🙄🙄 I swear if this is another issue because I changed my name 5 years ago when I got married...idk how it's easier to legally change my name with the government than to have a name change propagate through our work databases.
CS/Q: nope, but hey! At least my charting and symptoms were very consistent with AF arriving so I was already mentally prepared for a BFN this morning 🤷♀️
@bows22 I hope you can get some answers next cycle about what might be happening? What kind of work are you having done in the yard?
Month/Cycle: 15/15
CD/DPO: 17/5
Timing: -3, -1 IUI, O IUI, +1
Typical LP length: 15-17 depending on when I stop progesterone
Testing: 12DPO, on 4/6
R/R: I took the day off work yesterday to extend my wonderful weekend and had a perfect “me” day: went and lunched by myself, practiced piano, medicated, acupuncture, and then a piano lesson. I can officially say that I broke the streak of shitty weekends I had been having (skunking, followed by puncturing our friend’s sprinkler system).
Oh and on Saturday, I was sooooo relaxed, that I actually rocked a nap!!! I’m never able to nap because of anxiety, so this was a welcome surprise.
In other news, my boobs have been hurting so bad from all of the progesterone from my 4 corpus luteums, but it’s getting better today. Hopefully it’s because I’m getting used to it and not because my progesterone is dropping.
CS/Q: temps have dropped the past 2 days indicating an estrogen surge, but I’m hoping they pick back up tomorrow.
