Re: TWW w/o 2/27

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 15/3

    Timing: -5, -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 12-13 days

    Testing: Next Monday or Tuesday, which will be 10 or 11 DPO

    R/R: Our timing was great this cycle, but I didn’t have any EWCM, just watery, which is very unusual for me. The same thing happened last cycle, but I chalked that up to being sick. Now I’m wondering if it’s a sign from God to not TTC and to focus on adoption instead.

    CS/Q: Nope

  • @britters314 Great timing! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle. I really relate to what you are saying. I wonder if our lack of success is a sign to follow a different path. 

    Month/Cycle: 20 since we started trying, 6 month back TTC after losses

    CD/DPO: CD16, either 3 or 5 DPO depending how you mark it, so I’m going with the average 4 DPO

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

    Typical LP length: 14 days

    Testing: My husband is taking me for a nice early birthday dinner at 10 DPO and I might test then to see if I can enjoy a glass a wine or not. I think I want to get the testing out of the way so I’m not devastated on my birthday. 

    R/R: We sure did have a lot of fun trying this month ☺️. Feeling hopeful but also trying to be realistic. Next stop is the RE. 

    CS/Q: Sharing to share. FF has the shift marked at CD12, but I think based on CM and OPK that CD12 probably was O day 🤷🏻‍♀️ 



  • Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: CD13/1DPO

    Timing: -5, -2, -1

    Typical LP length: 14

    Testing: I'm going to try to hold out till 10DPO. 

    R/R: Eh my OKPs never got super dark but they are starting to get faint. I think I missed my peak with all the traveling. Speaking of which, it's great to be home. I love my mom, but fuck I can't stand her either. I need to stand up for myself more. And that's my fault, but god I also don't want to deal with her victim complex when I do. Otherwise the trip was a huge hit! 

    CS/Q: Nope
    PG #1: 36w5d 12/25/19
    PG #2: EDD 8/15/23 Miscarried 9w1d 1/11/23
    PG #3: EDD 12/15/23
  • PG #1: 36w5d 12/25/19
    PG #2: EDD 8/15/23 Miscarried 9w1d 1/11/23
    PG #3: EDD 12/15/23
  • Month/Cycle:  3/4

    CD/DPO:  1 DPO - my OPKs were positive yesterday and the day before, and this morning's temperature wasy 0.63 degree higher than yesterday's.  My temperature never spikes like that unless I am sick or just ovulated.

    Timing:  O-2, O-1, O

    Typical LP length:  11-13 days

    Testing:  Trying to hold out as long as possible

    R/R:  My body took 18 days to ovulate this cycle, which is pretty long for me, so we had to do all of our trying on weeknights.  Ouch.

    CS/Q:  None.

    @stashattack Glad to see you made it home in one piece.  I've been noticing the same thing with my OPKs - they used to get VERY dark when I ovulated, and now I'm lucky to see the test line get as dark as the control line.  However, I take Proov progesterone tests every cycle, and they always say I've ovulated.  It's probably because I'm over 40, which I've read can mess with your OPK test results.  
  • @geekprincess26 Welcome to the TWW! I tried the Proov kit to confirm O this cycle too. I thought I was ovulating based on OPK and CM, but I confirmed with PdG and temps this month just to be sure. Pumped to still be cycling beautifully at 40! Now if only I could catch a good egg and carry a baby to term… one step at a time though right? 

    Also my chart is trolling me by being soooo pretty 😂


  • @maggiemadeit I know, right?  I use Proov progesterone tests every cycle, and they always say that I've ovulated, so at least that part of my reproductive equation is intact.  I do have low AMH levels, so that worries me, but I keep telling myself to be happy that I'm still ovulating, because that means I still have a chance.  I'm going to contact my doctor if I haven't conceived by June, but I keep hoping I'll get that lucky egg before then.  I do have to admit that I worry a lot about miscarrying, since that's so common at my age (41).
