    Month/Cycle: 6/6AL

    CD/DPO: 19/? (could be 5-7 based solely on past cycles)

    Timing: -1 to -3 again based on past cycles only

    Typical LP length: 13/14

    Testing: holding out, but mostly likely will this weekend for drinking purposes

    R/R: I am still really trying to keep the TTC brain at bay, but it's getting harder if I am being honest. (Just as a reminder - DH and I were benched this cycle, of our own volition, because we have two big family weddings this upcoming September, which aligns with this cycles EDD. We indulged with the thought process of "well if it happens, then it happens".) My TTC brain keeps going to this has got to be the cycle because of the bad timing, but I have to not dwell on that and move forward.  

    CS/Q: Still haven't done any charting because it's far too late at this point to make sense of anyways but I do have a question. I got my IUD out last January, so we are almost at one year trying. *TW loss* 

    We got pregnant in May/June but had the loss at the end of July. Due to the loss/D&C we were unable to try for 2 months. We picked back up trying at the end of September but obviously still haven't had any luck. We technically didn't try this month either based off us trying to remain benched, but in the grand scheme of things it's been a year. Should I call the OB now, or give it one more cycle before I call? Just wondering WWTBD? I feel like I should give the next cycle a really good try before calling, but also know that it can take some time to get in to an appt so wondering if maybe now is the time?

    @tessiesmom26 It’s definitely hard to keep TTC brain at bay! I hope you can find some peace while you wait to test. Also, I would call the OB now because, like you said, it can take awhile to actually get in. 

    Month/Cycle: 3 AL

    CD/DPO: 15/1

    Timing: -4, -1, 0

    Typical LP length: Forever through the magic of progesterone.

    Testing: Probably the 8th (Next Saturday).

    R/R: I’m a little bummed that we didn’t get another bedroom session in during my fertile window, but oh well. I’ve had excellent timing and it’s meant nothing, so… 🙃

    Other than that, I’m feeling the urge to go full-on minimalist in my home. I just feel trapped by clutter. Anyone else feel like this at the start of the new year?

    @elle-0409 The minimalist movement hit me just before Thanksgiving. We're in the process of moving/removing walls and redoing our kitchen so there's never been a better time to have less stuff for us. Both living rooms are golden now. My office was the most recent victim. Bedroom is next - and it's half done already! It feels so good to have less on my mind!

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 24/3

    Timing: -2,-1

    Typical LP length: 14 days

    Testing: 1/10

    R/R: @tessiesmom26 I'm with you on this one! It's hard not to think about it! I could go in circles on it all day. I keep telling myself to chill out so DH doesn't have to.

    CS/Q: none

    @tessiesmom26 I can relate to your post so much!! We are benched for same reason - a wedding.  That and wanting to take care of a few health/wellness issues.  But sort of the same “if it happens, oh well” thought process.  And the “this would be the month b/c of bad timing”  I 100% understand! Lol   Also, with calling the OB - I would think the worst that could happen is they tell you to wait a little longer, right?   Keep us updated and good luck!  

    @elle-0409 Yes!!  I want allll the things out!  But not as much ambition to do it as I had hoped.  I saw an IG post that it is called “over production detox”.   I’m sticking with that theory! Lol

    @leannechristina   I’m impressed!   Come
    do my house 🤣   But seriously, I bet that feels amazing!   I hope your moving process goes smoothly.

    @srl6617 thanks! It gets better. Many moons ago DH sold his home and we moved to a rental together while we looked for a home in my neck of the woods. We were able to buy the home we rented (with a mortgage, not contract for deed), so we didn’t even have to move! There were so many things I was saving because I loved them but I thought “the next house” would have a place for them. Getting rid of the things I already knew wouldn’t work in this home was a quick win.
