Re: TWW MONDAY 5/10
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -1, O
Typical LP length: 14?
Testing: later this week probably I should wait til Sunday but - ya know. I just saw FF recommends that you wait until 18 DPO though.
R/R: Had a good weekend MH sent me flowers since he couldn’t come home this week to visit. I’m looking forward to Friday and he will be home for a while. However I’m sorry but I really need to vent. His boss is already talking about taking him to travel to some other projects out west. But that should only be a few days at a time. I really miss him though and I know I should be happy with this but I hate all the traveling and I don’t even know what his job is, I never expected him to have a job like this.
CS/Q: I can’t decide if I am finding temping anxiety inducing or not. I feel like I just look for things to be wrong with it.
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 18
Timing: no idea
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: not for a while
R/R: well I still don’t know when / if I ovulated for sure. I never got a blazing positive OPK but this was my first cycle using the Premom app to help me read the lines and it says it learns your pattern? I’ll probably get a BBT once I get my period. Temping has stressed me out in the past but I’d at least like to pinpoint O once to get an idea. I haven’t had O pain for the last several cycles and I had it pretty bad Saturday, so I jumped MH 😆 I’ve never had it that late in a cycle (16) so I have no idea what’s going on
I had fun seeing my cousins over the weekend but as always, it was too short. I really hope Christmas happens this year so we can hang out longer. MH and I also got to go on a date on Saturday afternoon, which was fun!
CS/Q: nope
@daisy0322 that GIF made me chuckle. @b_1029 date nights are the best!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 10dpo
Timing: -4, -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 13-14 I think?
Testing: Ugh. Why did I start testing. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Thought I saw something an easy at home cheapie yesterday but this morning its BFN.
R/R: I took off last Thursday and Friday for our wedding anniversary. No one at work seemed to care that I was on vacation so I still worked. The silver lining is that I have less to come back to this morning. Weather held out from 12-3:30 yesterday which was great for Mother's Day Brunch. I am going to do an early one every year now. It was so much better to have the rest of the day afterwards. Especially after hosting. I wish I didn't start testing because now I feel kind of salty and depressed already at 10DPO. I have been feeling crappy but I guess it could also be PMS. Ergh.
CS/Q: n/a
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: -4, -1
Typical LP length: 15 days
Testing: BFN yesterday, WFAF now
R/R: Rant - I woke up in a "f*ck it" mood today. Not sure why since I had a pretty great weekend and actually am excited for work. Maybe because the weather is crappy here today and I get my second dose of the COVID vax this afternoon.
Rave - MH and I scored a beautiful antique side table yesterday! It's all original hardware and dates back to the 1800s. I had spotted it back in November when we took my mom to the antique mall, but it was almost $100 more expensive back then. When we saw it marked down yesterday (I was surprised it was still there!) I knew I just had to have it. It looks great in our living room, which is all decorated in Revolutionary War-era antiques.
CS/Q: Nah

Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 21/5?
Timing: -4, -1
Typical LP length: 14. altho flo is saying 10 last month and this month?!
Testing: maybe Saturday? i'm supposed to be socializing saturday, so prob should.
R/R: i know i sound like a broken record, but i. am. so. tired. had a lovely weekend of essentially doing nothing.
CS/Q: nada
@daisy0322 that is quite an adjustment and i can totally understand the struggle with it. also... not that i think you're saying this, but there is something to be said about a work/life balance and always worth evaluating if the money is worth it.
@b_1092 yay for date night with your husband!
@boymama2018 oh no, i'm sorry for the testing confusion!
@babyodo table sounds amazing! love the thrill of a good deal!
@babyodo post a pic! (If your comfortable) that table sounds beautiful
@boymama2018 omg the testing temptation is impossible...
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -1,0,+1
Typical LP length: ~14
Testing: probably tomorrow or Wednesday. I keep telling myself I’m going to wait until Friday, but I am getting more and more antsy
R/R: Grey's anatomy finally announced they’re coming back! One of my favorite shows.
CS/Q: none rn
@daisy0322 It's awesome that YH is doing so well and so successful but I'm sure it's tough to adjust to the new lifestyle and the travel
@b_1029 I also saw cousins this weekend!
@boymama2018 Happy belated anniversary!
@babyodo I hope you're feeling better today
@anniemarie887 I feel you on being tired... it's like no matter how much sleep I get, it's never enough. I feel lik there have been studies done that say you never really catch up on missed sleep, so there's that.
@shinyobjects I was a hardcore Grey's fan for the first 4 seasons, then I fell off the wagon.
