    @famonmain2 i'll join you on the bodies are a mystery front.
  • @fameonmain2 hope you get to enjoy the weather. What’s your grad degree in?

    @anniemarie887 I’m there with you on sleep I’m exhausted- I’ll be out of luck this weekend but next weekend I’ll definitely be sleeping in 
  • @daisy0322 such great news about the fact that you ovulated AND that YH is coming home earlier than expected! What a great way to start the weekend!

    @fameonmain2 *waves madly* hi there! It’s been a while since we’ve been on same side of O. 

    @anniemarie887 I’m sorry you haven’t been sleeping well! I hope you have a low key weekend and catch up on some of it. 

    Month/Cycle: 16/16

    CD/DPO: 31/11

    Timing: not great 

    Typical LP length: 15-17 days depending on when I stop progesterone (likely tonight is the last night; expect AF will come on Tuesday)

    Testing: nah

    R/R: I went to bed super late last night because I was updating my big doc on our fertility journey thus far ahead of our IVF consult on Monday. And then I woke up at 5:10am and couldn’t fall back asleep. Blergh. But I did wake up to this:


    Today will be hectic as will the weekend since we’re having friends over to our backyard both days, so need to prep! Should be fun though! 

    CS/Q: tell tale sign that I’m out is when my Oura ring starts showing negative (vis-a-vis baseline) temp deltas.

  • @daisy0322 Have fun with your mom!  Mine is coming to town today too :smile:

    @fameonmain2 bodies are super weird, even when you know what to expect, they throw a curve ball!

    @anniemarie887 8 hours of sleep is glorious

    @acleverusername what an awesome "alarm clock"!  so cute!

    @businesswife I feel you on the crazy dog. We have a part beagle mix, her favorite past time is 'yelling'... at every.little.thing.  fortunately she responds well to disappointment and we just have to say "ohhhh, what did you do?" and she gets sad and slinks away

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 17/4

    Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O

    Typical LP length: 13ish... although I looked today and Premom says 12

    Testing: planning to wait until next Friday

    R/R: we have a community yard sale tomorrow that I'm woefully unprepared for... I'll probably just dump a bunch of junk in my driveway and try to peddle my crappy wares that way

    CS/Q: nothing

  • @acleverusername thanks! I’m pretty excited about it actually. Even if I don’t get KU this delays the awful medicine I have to take until I’m 50. I took it for a bit before and felt awful. I cried thinking about being on it the next 25 years. Have fun at your get togethers this weekend! Enjoy yourselves 💕

    @BusinessWife I’m sorry your having a rough time. I wish there was something better to say. I did the rosary for you yesterday though. I hope that’s okay ::hugs::

    @jlbaker08 thanks girl we hang out every Friday since she’s off work that day and obviously I’m “off” everyday. Good luck at the yard sale! I planned on it this year but missed the weekend for it lol 
  • Oh, @daisy0322 Thank you so much! <3

  • @acleverusername enjoy your friends!!
    @BusinessWife eat all the chocolate and have all the coffee <3
    @jlbaker08 hey at least your unloading something!

  • @BusinessWife you deserve those treats! Enjoy them all for the next few days. Hopefully the crate helps with your doggo. Maybe a treat s/he can focus on for a couple of hours? 

    @jlbaker08 Good luck with the sale! Hopefully your strategy will be somewhat successful. (As for my dog being a cute alarm close, she's definitely that and she's also VERY punctual. She starts her routine every day between 6-6:15am.)

  • @anniemarie887 +1 for sleeping in. Could not get myself out of bed this morning. 

    @acleverusername hiiiiii!! Gosh I love your pup so much. Sounds like you have an awesome weekend ahead 😊

    @daisy0322 I’m getting my PhD in education! 

    @BusinessWife ugh, puppy life can be rough. Especially the crying in the crate! Hope he gets more used to it soon. 

    @jlbaker08 I mean, sounds like you have the yard sale down... they’re basically just piles of stuff anyways, no? 😂
