Timing: -2, -1
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: BFN this morning, now WFAF
R/R: rave - Wine Tasting Friday (the reason I tested today) - hubby and I have been doing a wine tasting Friday at home since quarantine first started back in 2020. We take turns buying two different wines and the other one guesses what they are, it's my week to guess.
CS/Q: noneCD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: EOD + IUI on O day
Typical LP length: progesterone
Testing: I don’t really want to but if I start SS or getting my hopes up then I might. So far only pessimism though.
R/R: It’s Friday! My week was so productive! I started out with 39 things on my to do list and am down to 24. Usually my to do list grows instead of shrinks. I should be able to make a good dent next week too so I felt good about taking the day off today. We have no real plans this weekend which is exciting and I think we are having a fire tonight! Have a great weekend everyone!
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 4/4AL
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: "good"
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: one BFN after the next..
R/R: There is supposed to be some heavy wind and rain today, which is making us nervous because our yard is still a disaster from the last storm. The tree guy hasn't been able to come out yet, and the fence guy can't do anything until the tree guy comes so were stuck waiting. We also haven't heard back from insurance on if our stuff was approved. I am just hoping it's not too bad and that today doesn't bring more damage.

CS/Q:I usually have a show on in the background while I'm at work. Lately I have been watching the older show Wife Swap...do you guys remember that show? I would definitely classify it as a trashy TV, but I can't look away!
ETA: oops forgot the tags!
@kopp5988 oooo enjoy your wine night! That sounds like a fun little tradition. We do something similar with craft beer, just not every week.
@bows22 there is no greater feeling than seeing those tasks fall off your to-do list, nice job!
@tessiesmom26 oh man, we have similar weather here today. I hope that there is no further damage, you have seen enough!
@bows22 enjoy that day off!
@tessiesmom26 fingers crossed on insurance stuff, i know it's stressful - i own an insurance agency
@jellie603 trashy tv is the best while working - i wfh yesterday and got caught up on bachelorette

R/R: went to a concert last night in DC, one of my favorite bands. was just so amazing for all of the energy of live music, felt so good to have upper level seats (bc i'm old) but also know that the roughly 5000 ppl in the venue are all required to be fully vaxed and wear masks. really miss doing normal things like that.
CS/Q: new to the whole temping thing... i know that normally temp shifts downward bc AF is coming... but would it do that this many days in advance? prob should do some more reading on the temp stuff since i'm in this space now.eta spoiler for chart
@tessiesmom26 I hope you don’t have anymore damage, fingers crossed for you
@jellie603 trashy tv is the greatest, especially when used to make work more enjoyable or when paired with booze haha
@anniemarie887 wow that definitely gives peace of mind to know everyone had to be vaccinated and masked up, and glad you enjoyed yourself. My hubby works in DC and his job has absolutely zero mask or vaccination rule unfortunately.
@jellie603 I never watched that but I love trashy TV!! good luck this weekend if you keep testing!
@anniemarie887 have you considered using the fertility friend app so that I can properly stalk your chart? I can’t even tell what I’m looking at haha
eta: ok, obvs not a load of temps and started mid cycle… but I plugged in to FF
