RRCS: I wonder if my thermometer might be on the fritz. My temps have pretty much flat-lined. I'm gonna see if I can find a battery for it and see if that helps.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite hobbies? I also enjoy hiking. I like to knit and I'm trying to get better at sewing, but they sometimes feel like work, depending on my mood.
Testing Plans: bfn again today. Pretty sure I'm out. Just waiting for AF
RRCS: on the bright it looks like I'm having a closer to normal luteal phase! Once AF shows I'm going to schedule a consult with the RE. Part of me is terrified, part of me is excited, and part of me feels like I don't want to go through with it and I should just give up on ever having a third.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite hobbies? Photography, baking, adult coloring lol

Cycle/Month: 15/16
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -4
Testing plans: Well.....
RRCS: So, I had zero testing plans for this cycle. I've felt weirdly hopeful which sucks because of our timing. My temp was up a bit yesterday but I figured it was up because I barely slept the night before. My temp is up again today after a really solid night of sleep. I might test Sunday; we'll see what my temps do.
GTKY: Horseback riding! I never get to anymore; the last time was at least 2 years ago. Um..I love reading and cooking, too. I thoroughly enjoy going bowling and mini golfing, both of which I suck at.
Shoot, I forgot we're going out for drinks with friends tonight. I really didn't want to test early this time but I think I probably should... and in the afternoon even.

I'm in the same boat (11dpo and going out with friends) and don't know what to do. Originally I just wasn't going to drink tonight because I am waiting until betas tomorrow. However, I really need a drink after my day today. Blahhhhhhh

I'm just gonna do it. I could probably not drink if we were getting dinner but we're going to a bar. I am fully expecting to see - but at least I can drink.
If you decide to test, I'll be there in spirit... while you pee.......
RRCS: I got nothing. My sweet husband asks me every morning how my temp is now, which I love. But will the progesterone affect my temps, keep them high? I love his interest, so I keep just telling him every morning that it's nice and high!
GTKY: What are some of your favorite hobbies?
Does day drinking count as a hobby? What about night drinking? Not that I'm able to do either these days. Life has just become insanely tight time-wise between work, house stuff, and my LO. Back in the day, I really loved working out, hiking, weight lifting, Crossfit. Now I'm lucky if I get 10 minutes on the treadmill. Hopefully things settle soon!
***Lurking from 3T/IF board*** siouxsieq Yes, progesterone will keep your temps high. As long as you are supplementing you will never have a temp drop. During our TI cycles I would confirm O then stop temping. Now that I'm doing IUI I don't temp at all. Once you start the supplements your temperature doesn't have much value. It's your choice to keep temping, but I'll tell you it feels great not to temp during my LP.

Thank you for this, kyzo! I will consider it. My biggest fear is that if I stop temping I will get out of the habit. I have wonky cycles where FF moves my crosshairs a lot, so missing a temp here and there really effs with my charting.
Since you're on P supplements, do you mind me asking, how many days on average will your period start after you stop taking them? I'm just not sure what to expect. And that reminds me, I need to check back with my doc, because I'm not clear on what day to stop if I have a negative test. I wrote down 14 days after I talked to him and now I don't know what that means. Does that mean 14 days post O or 14 days of taking the supplements?

I only took them last cycle, and that ended in a chemical pregnancy so I'm not sure if it's the same. But I stopped as soon as that was confirmed and my period started 2 or 3 days after. I read that it could take up to a week. Once again on get a negative test at 14dpo I would stop taking them.
PirateCat and teachermomtobe, when you test “early” before a night out, if you get a BFN, do you go ahead and drink? I always have in the back of my mind, “well maybe it was just too early…”
@siouxsieq, I did a cycle on progesterone a few months ago and I stopped at 14DPO when I got a BFN. My period started 4 days later.
Cycle/month: 19
CD/DPO: CD21/8DPO
Timing: -2, -1
Testing Plans: 5/11 , but I know I'll cave and test early on Mother's Day.
RRCS: Not much. I stopped temping after confirming O this month…hoping it will help keep my mind off the TWW.
GTKY: What are some of your favorite hobbies? Reading, running

And it's a negative. I'm not upset because I'm only 11dpo with afternoon pee. The tears will be after tomorrow's betas if that's negative too. So for tonight, a glass of wine!

akraus2015, I do have a drink if it's negative. (And today's was negative) I wouldn't get wasted though until it's confirmed with betas (or a later negative test). You don't share blood for like 6 weeks but it's a personal decision though.
easilyunamused I hate doing finances with DH. Definitely the worst part of adulting. bex15 perfect timing! Wow. I need to do better. Fx for you! @irish hugs for the bfn today. I'm sorry you are finding yourself needing to see an RE. Fx you won't need the appt! thelittleredm fx! PirateCat I hope you got some good news tonight with testing. Fx! teachermomtobe hugs. Sorry for the bfn. Enjoy your drinks tonight.
