Re: TWW Tuesday 4/27
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 36/18?
Timing: 🤷♀️
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: ha! So many BFNs...sooooo many
R/R: none, just waiting for AF and not sure what my cycle is doing. I did start cramping last night a bit so hopefully that means I’ll be out of this hold pattern soon. I’m gonna blame stress, I guess.
CS/Q: my new ovulation tracker (Mira) should arrive today so I’m kinda geeked out about that and excited to have a chart to obsess over 🙄
ETA: AF finally arrived, I’ll jump to WTO tomorrow. Glad this cycle is over!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 30/9
Timing: Fine
Typical LP length: 14?
Testing: Yeah, BFN. I'm hoping that testing this week will take the testing pressure off me for future cycles. That's what I'm telling myself.
R/R: I slept terribly, and all the tossing and turning resulted in my right shoulder and neck to be so tight this morning; I can barely turn my head. It's going to be so much fun slowly stretching those muscles back out today.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: I don't even know at this point - I think it's the 6th cycle I could actually track, but 1st AL.
CD/DPO: I haven't had AF since February since before **TW** my CP in March. But if my calculations are correct, I am 3 DPO.
Timing: -2, O, +1, +2
Typical LP length: It is usually around 17/18 days.
Testing: Because I hadn't gotten AF in April, I had tested a few times and all were BFNs.
R/R: I hate not being absolutely certain about my cycle. I was usually like clockwork, so this guessing game is annoying. Also, this is SO superficial and feel free to flame me, but my birthday is in 3 weeks and I was hoping to indulge in some unlimited tacos and margaritas. Of course, I will take a BFP over that any day of the week, but considering I haven't really been out in society over a year and had a pandemic 30th birthday last year, it would be nice to actually let loose and celebrate this year. Again, I know how silly that sounds.
CS/Q: I asked a question in the CS thread. I am realizing that what I thought was an O earlier this month was most likely not that, considering I had telltale signs of O this past weekend.
@rachelredhead yay I’m glad you can finally move on ! I’ll see you in WTO soon!
@beakay8 I feel the same way about testing early - you can be kind of sad while knowing there is still a chance, and then it kind of cushions the blow.
@fifilala516 no flames here. Even after 2.5 years and constant thoughts of “what if this never happens” I still get a little sad when I think about not drinking for 9 months haha
Month/Cycle: 29/32
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -4,-1
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: BFN today
R/R: I’m having a day already. How is it only Tuesday? Could not get out of the house this morning, 2 roads closed on my way in (only 1 with a posted detour), constant revolving door of people in my office this morning. I finally get a minute to myself and instead of being productive I checked TB haha. Going to try to get some stuff done now. It’s gorgeous here today, DH is working from home and said he was going to get stuff for hamburgers & hot dogs and have a cookout tonight! At least my BFN means I can have a beer too!

</div><div>R/R: Finally found my assessment!!! And finished it with just enough time. I guess it takes 24 hours for them to grade them though, so it's still a slow day until we get access, hopefully tomorrow.</div><div>
</div><div>CS/Q: na</div><div>
@fifilala516 Fx things regulate again quickly for you. I hated being on hormonal BC after a while, too. Once I came off in my kid 20's, I never went back.
PSA about TTA</div><div>(for anyone who needs to hear it lol)
I think that's one of my most favorite things about charting / temping. Once you're in a committed relationship (so it's not the end of the world if we don't practice it perfectly), there's really no need to go back on them (for most people), imho. We learn how to land in our FW when we are trying; you just apply the same skillset to <i>avoiding the FW</i> (i.e. right after AF if you're feeling dangerous lol, and then abstain until after confirmed ovulation, through to AF.)
@beakay8 Oof, sorry you slept so badly. I get that too sometimes, where I don't even feel right about driving because I can't turn my head. 😬 Hopefully it feels better as the day goes along.
@rachelredhead Glad you finally get to start from a fresh slate. I'll be curious to see if you feel like sharing your Mira charts going forward!
