    Thanks for starting the threads @abjm0325!

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD/DPO: 19/5

    Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

    Typical LP length: 11-12

    Testing: No, but realistically if I have a temp spike from CD10 onwards I probably would.

    R/R: Feeling pretty chill today. I've been thinking about things I want to accomplish this year and filling in plans in the calendar (I'm still off work this week). For example, a childhood friend will be in town and so we've already got a date scheduled for Friday July 15th 😂 That makes me happy.

    CS/Q: Nope. Totally boring chart.

    @Paturkey When I'm back at work, I'm much more on top of getting on here in the mornings.  :D Plans like you made with your friend make me happy to. Always nice to have something to look forward to!

    Month/Cycle: 5/4 AL

    CD/DPO: 21/7

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 12

    Testing: 1/9

    R/R: Meetings are going to slowly suck the life out of me at work. I know we need some of these meetings, but good grief people: send the info as an email whenever possible! Otherwise I'm feeling rather ho-hum today. Probably just a natural dip after the high of the holidays, but feeling a little melancholy today. 

    CS/Q: See TTCAL if you want to help with my question about thyroid testing

    @abjm0325 If feels like it's just the two of us today :D Sorry you are in meeting hell. Did we not all learn how unnecessary most of them are during lockdown? I hope you feel better once you've gotten through them. I checked the TTCAL thread and unfortunately I have no insight on thyroid numbers for you.

    @Paturkey Haha, I'm cool hanging out with you all day! I'm guessing the thyroid numbers things is a "wait to hear from your doc" question, they are just taking annoyingly long to respond to me in the portal.

    @abjm0325 yes, the "old" guidance is that TSH should be under 2.5. You should get a doctor to run a full thyroid panel though, to make sure you don't have any antibodies. Have you had your TSH tested previously?

    @acleverusername If my TSH has been tested previously, it is not in my active memory. Thanks for the comment about the full thyroid panel too, as I thought there were probably other things associated that they should be testing. Part of me is kind of meh about it and doubting this is what is standing in the way of a THB, but I'll probably make an appointment to talk to the midwife later in the month.
