Re: WTO Monday 4.5
Month/Cycle: 22/2 AL
CD: 32
WAYDTGKU: NTNP, temping
R/R: This weekend was much needed mental health wise. My sister came and visited and spent the weekend and then my brother and his family came over for Easter. This is our first time seeing people outside of work or having anyone over since November. I’m so grateful we’re all vaccinated and were able to see each other safely.
CS/Q:
@anniemarie887 if you realllly want to and you are bored can import some of your data into FF via a super clunky CSV method. 😂 Ask me how I know. 🥴
Month/Cycle: 4/4
Rant: we still owe waaay more than I thought we would, based on all our last couple year's returns 😕
@anniemarie887 without temps, and between opk and cm, I'd go with cm as an indicator, especially if/when it dries up.
Month/Cycle: 6/5
@pajamstagrams ha i love that you figured that out! honestly with knowing how overwhelmed i can get, if i'm going to go down the temping route i'm going to use some hsa $ for an ava bracelet.
@fantasyflyte got it, thanks!
@pajamstagrams yay for the mistake you found that lessens the amount you owe but booo for owing money.
@fantasyflyte it could be you have a short surge which would definitely make it hard to catch on an OPK but O pain is usually my best indicator. Yay for O!
@gingermama29 I’m glad you were able to see your family too! I don’t know what made me think of this, but do you still have a sibling living out of the country?
@anniemarie887 sounds like flo is just going by your normal cycle length which can definitely fluctuate (the time prior to O at least) so I’d keep having sex for now and hopefully you’ll get a peak reading
@pajamstagrams sorry you had a unwelcome tax surprise but glad you got it down a little bit!
@fantasyflyte yet for vaccines and for ovulation!
Month/Cycle: 28/32
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: I am exhausted from the weekend - way more social interaction than I’m used to , but I guess I need to get used to it now that both of our families are vaccinated. I have bloodwork scheduled for for tomorrow and an SHG on Thursday to see what’s happening in my body. The good news is that my LP was 12 days again last cycle (it’s been 12-13 days for years and then I had a stretch of 6 months where it was 10 days, now the last 2 have been 12 again). So maybe something is going back to normal. My dog also has kennel cough, he’s perfectly fine other than coughing but obviously can’t go to doggy daycare until he’s over it so I’m going to have an energetic pup on my hands this week 🙃
CS/Q:
@anniemarie887 I think FF does a better job with the predictions, but I will always have a soft sport for Flo. That's the app I started with when I was just tracking my periods after going off BC. Its interface is way nicer looking.
@pajamstagrams ugh yeah we owed quite a bit last year.. mostly because we didn't have a single tax credit to claim (like the EV tax credit back when it was $7500!). I meant to work on ours this weekend but didn't get around to it grrr.
@fantasyflyte congrats on the shot!
@bows22 oh sure, now your body is cooperating with a good LP length right before you're seeing the RE again
