Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/8dpo

Timing:-2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 7-9 days

Testing: if I make it to 10dpo

R/R: ugh. we hio this am and I had some spotting so I’m pretty sure I’m out this cycle. Nothing since though. Just hoping af will hold out until Sunday/Monday so I can have a longer lp and a weekend without cramps.

We have to do so much running around today ugh I’m such a procrastinator. But I’m super excited to check out my garden later!

CS/Q:

rachelredhead · June 2021

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 28/6ish

Timing: Decent, just a question mark about O so I’m between 5-9 dpo, I guess, but I think it’s 5/6 based on OPKs and we HIO EOD during FW

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: probably this weekend even though it’s early, the confusion around O is messing with me

R/R: just happy it’s Friday!

CS/Q: Not really. I used my first Proov strip this cycle and it was positive so that’s good. You want several days of positives in order to show effective ovulation so it’s a good start.

@paytonpedro I’m sorry you feel like you’re out this cycle. Fingers crossed for a longer LP!

@paytonpedro argh @ spotting. Let’s hope it holds out for a few more days, but regardless that’s likely a sign of low progesterone. I can’t remember if I asked you this but… have you tried Proov strips?

Also wanted to say to you and to @mokamonster that yes I am extremely lucky to have a supportive H when it comes to eating healthy. He also keeps trying to be healthy (but has a weakness for pizza) so whenever I start a new health trend he hops on board for support and for his own benefit. This week he’s learned the deliciousness and beauty of using lettuce leaves as vehicles for food.

Month/Cycle: 18/18

CD/DPO: 16/4

Timing: -2, O

Typical LP length: 🤷‍♀️

Testing: nope

R/R: I am spotting this morning and my temp dropped (according to Oura ring). I haven’t been temping since my TempDrop is on the fritz; need to email their support.

The eating healthy has finally caught up with me… I am tired ALL the time, not sleeping well, and have a perma-headache. I hope the withdrawal symptoms get better by end of weekend because there’s a shit ton of work to do an I’ve been having to take time off to take naps.

I also messed up the timing of my therapy appointment this morning. I usually meet him at 7:30am but we changed today’s time to 8:15. I forgot to update my calendar. Argh. Anyway, I’m catch-up up on what I missed on TB instead!

CS/Q: 👎🏻

@acleverusername lettuce as a vehicle for food really is delicious and genius!

I am not using proove strips but I keep seeing people mention them! Please fill me in! I’m still temping because I’m assuming when progesterone drops so will my temp?

Also I’m sorry about the withdrawal symptoms you’re having. I hope it clears up quickly for you! And know that I’m definitely cheering you on over here!!! The tiredness makes me automatically think low iron, because that’s my main symptom when my iron is low. Maybe eat something iron rich when you’re feeling like that?

@paytonpedro this is my second cycle using Proov strips. Basically, on CD 5 or so you take a baseline test to see how you test with what should be pretty low progesterone. Then btw 7-10 DPO, you test daily with FMU. You want to see multiple positives and that confirms successful ovulation. I like it in theory, but this month it seems tricky just because I’m confused by my O date. But I got a positive this morning so that’s a good start. There’s an app and you take pictures of your tests to compare. You can also use the same app for OPK tests (any brand), which I find helpful.

@paytonpedro everything what @rachelredhead said, plus they have a VERY ACTIVE Facebook group, so you can always go and ask questions there (it's full of TW in the form of BFPs though, so beware.) But basically, you may have low progesterone if you're experiencing spotting, but the temp drop won't happen just yet. I've had 3-4 days of spotting before I get AF without a corresponding temp drop.

@rachelredhead thanks so much for explaining that for me!! It sounds like a relatively easy concept. Are they expensive? I guess I should just look into this haha.

@acleverusername just googling lp defect, I kinda guessed that it was probably low progesterone- it’s just weird because I’ve never had that problem before and like it just started the last 4/5 cycles. I guess you’re only normal until you’re not though. 😅 I don’t normally temp past “confirming” ovulation (the 3 days or whatever ff wants to establish the cross hairs). I think in the past my temp has stayed high until day 2 of af though.

@paytonpedro a pack of 5 strips (enough for one cycle) is @ $30
