    Month/Cycle:2/2

    CD/DPO: 24/8

    Timing: -3,-1,0

    Typical LP length: 10, but that puts me at a short cycle, so maybe 12?

    Testing: Tomorrow, even though the chances are low.

    R/R:

    CS/Q: My chart looks weird, but I'm having trouble with the picture adding here. But after O I have up and down jagged peaks, which is atypical. They are all above coverline but my chart used to be way prettier.


    GTKY: What your favorite/indispensable kitchen gadget? The KitchenAid mixer- If it broke I would easily spend the money to replace it. Our oven is broken so not using it as often right now. Other than that... carrot peeler and can opener, lol.

    @SmashJam FX for testing tomorrow! And you can have my KitchenAid mixer when yours dies. You’ll have to clean off the 2 inches of accumulated dust, though. :#

    Month/Cycle: 4/5
    CD/DPO: 18/7
    Typical LP length: 10/11
    Testing: Tuesday
    R/R: I’m going backpacking next weekend with my MIL which I’m super excited about. Unfortunately, AF will overlap perfectly. Not looking forward to managing tampons in the woods. I know how and have done it before, it’s just blaaah. MH optimistically hopes I’m KU and it’s a non-issue. :p
    CS/Q: Started temping this morning to get in the habit before next cycle starts. Hopefully have a chart for the next TWW!
    GTKY: hands down Breville toaster oven. Preheat in a couple minutes, cooks more evenly than our oven, perfect size for all meals except Thanksgiving with the entire extended family. It also turns off when it’s done cooking, so no more burned food.

    @loveanddatadriven I'll take it! Also your toaster oven-is it the combi oven one that does a million things? We've been looking at one of those for sure.

    @SmashJam we have the fancy one because we love air frying. So nice to elevate a root vegetable roast with some extra crispiness.

    Timing: good-ish

    Typical LP. length: unknown

    Testing: tomorrow

    R/R: great weekend including avisit to the beach, but so ready to test

    @SmashJam my fingers are crossed and I hope you get/got good news. You can also have mine. It was one of those things I registered for for my wedding because I thought it was the thing to do. I usually just pull out my hand mixer when needed. I mean I rarely need one. 

    @loveanddatadriven backpacking sounds fun! At least it won’t be over fertile week, but managing tampons in the woods sounds like a headache! 

    Black widow was great! I highly recommend! 

    I don’t know what my most loved kitchen tool is. I suppose I use our griddle the most, but I could find alternatives if needed.

    @sammygirl18 ha! I didn’t even consider how frustrated I would be if I was backpacking with my MIL around O-1 :D

    @agesandstages FX for your testing tomorrow! Rooting for you, too!

    Thanks for thinking of me @sammygirl18. Testing was BFN, as expected since 9DPO  is pretty early! But temp is still up and CP is still high and firm so I'm still in it! I'll check again tomorrow! 

    Also I registered for my kitchen aid for the same reason lol, but just ended up really loving it! I didn't cook nearly as much as I do now when I got it. I have the pasta maker attachment which gets lots of love.

    @agesandstages fx for your testing tomorrow! 

    @loveanddatadriven we've been looking at one of those! Nice to hear you love it!
