Re: TWW Wednesday 5/12
Month/Cycle: 30/33
CD/DPO: 16/somewhere between 2-4
Timing: Just once, we weren’t really trying
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: I’m sure I will, probably later next week assuming the day we had sex was O day
R/R: Got my biopsy results - I do have a polyp, so I’ll have to have surgery before I can do IUI. I had one removed last January so I know what to expect and it’s not a huge deal but would prefer to not have to do it obviously. They have me on the schedule for July 27 or Aug 3, but are putting me on birth control pills next cycle and I’ll just take them continuously until surgery, so that way if a cancellation comes up it will be easier to get in since we won’t have to worry about what day in my cycle I’m on. (They have to do it after AF is gone but before CD14). Hopefully I’ll be able to get in earlier since that’s a long time off. So anyway I’m not sure I’ll much I’ll post in the dailies but I won’t disappear completely.
CS/Q: my chart looks okay but is secretly is a mess. I tossed and turned for 3 hours before finally giving up on the hope of more sleep on Monday so I think that temp is artificially high. In any case I ovulated. I’ll probably temp for a few more days just to see what happens and then I’ll hang it up until I’m off BC.
Oh dear @bows22 I'm sorry about the delay for surgery and the BCPs. :/ Hang in there, I know you are a trooper. :) Maybe it will be nice not to have the pressure of TTC for the summer?
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 20
Timing: depends on when I actually O’d...which I don’t know
Typical LP length: 14ish
Testing: I’d say next week but realistically probably will this weekend even though it’ll be early
R/R: tmi but i feel like I’m getting my first ever yeast infection or something so of course my crazy brain is like “oh you must totally be KU” 🤦🏼♀️
We have someone coming over later to show us some gutter options, because the color we originally picked isn’t available anymore. We got our roof done and I can’t decide if I even like it with the brown 😐 the saga continues lol. I don’t know why I’m agonizing so much over this. Pic in spoiler while they were working on it
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 3/2 1 AL
CD/DPO: 26/ 11
Timing: -1 O
Typical LP length: 14?
Testing: probably not anymore with my chart
R/R: I tossed and turned a lot last night so I’m kind of tired then was awakened by the super loud trash truck as I am every Wednesday lol. I got a lot done yesterday so I’m hoping that today I can too.
CS/Q: looks like AF is probably headed my way with my new temp this morning. I don’t really know for sure but I think it looks like I’m out? Maybe someone else will understand more than me though. However no matter what it’s still amazing I’m ovulating! And I’m very grateful for that I’m hoping I have another opportunity next cycle ♥️
@bows22 Im sorry about the biopsy. Hoping they can fit you in sooner, I know that would make me a little anxious waiting.
@b_1029 I think I would go with a dark brown. But I get so stressed about that kind of stuff too. Hopefully the person coming has some good input.
@bows22 I’m sorry about the biopsy results! I hope you can plan some fun things this summer to help the time speed by.
@b_1029 House stuff is stressful because it feels so permanent. I hope you love one of the new options they bring you.
@daisy0322 Yay for ovulating!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 15/1
Timing: Meh, like -4 and O (assuming OPKs were correct-ish)
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: Probably WFAF with that timing
R/R: I don’t feel like DH and I have been in sync this week. It happens from time to time and I know it will pass, but it is a little depressing anyway. Hard to be excited about TTC when there is relationship stress. Thankful for this board and you all for another outlet!
CS/Q: N/A
@b_1029 gotta love the ss. Agree with bows on the dark brown... is there a color option similar to the one they no longer have?
@daisy0322 you're not out till you're out! Still so much to learn since you are new at temping, you'll find out what your body does in a few cycles.
@abjm0325 ugh, I'm sorry. I know exactly what you're talking about and I'm actually feeling pretty similarly. We are here for you to lean on
Month/Cycle: 11
CD/DPO: 30/??
Timing: ??
Typical LP length: 11-12
Testing: nope
R/R: I've just got so much going on right now and have been avoiding the dailies because I have no idea what's happening this cycle as I never temped. Total avoidance behavior. Feeling a little crampy today and had some watery CM which I sometimes get before AF so maybe she is on her way? Anyways, have a school deadline on Friday, huge meeting after work today, and lots of planning to do... so I am clearly avoiding AGAIN by bumping However, I might have some exciting work-related news that I will share with you all as soon as things are official...
CS/Q: nope
@b_1029 I've done that 😆 might have been 2 cycles ago? Remind me to stay away from Google....
@daisy0322 when the hell does your trash truck come by??? Our village tells us to have our cans out by 5:30am even though they never come that early
@abjm0325 I'm pretty sure this board has been a godsend for me too!
@fameonmain2 I keep thinking about doing less for tracking but I feel like any time one of us does that, then the cycle ends up being confusing. Not helpful at all haha. I can never agree whether my minimal tracking would exclude OPKs or temping.
Month/Cycle: 47 (ew) / 6 AL
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -2, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: next week Wednesday I guess
R/R: I'm over here now woot! I'm excited to have Friday off so I just need to get through 2 more days this week!

@fameonmain2 not sure! The guy is coming later, I’m hoping there’s some shade of brown or I’ll probably explode from indecision ahha. Hoping for good work news soon!
@abjm0325 I’m sorry I hate when that happens. Hopefully you’re back in sync soon. I notice I tend to get moody during the Second half of my cycle and end up drifting from MH a bit.

@fameonmain2 thanks, MH is king procrastinator too the stuff he come up with to do instead of doing what he needs to work on is hilarious sometimes 😂
Sorry if I missed someone!
off work today, and having cell phone issues with TB. Will try and come back later for more.

@bows22 I hope they have a cancellation and get you in sooner than the end of July!
@b_1029 good luck picking out gutters! the joys of home ownership!
@daisy0322 have you super productive today too?
@abjm0325 :hugs:
@fameonmain2 that's how I feel about temping too... I feel like I avoid it
@inthewoods23 congrats on possibly being "average" not that average means very much
Month/Cycle: 1/1

CS/Q: nothing right now
