Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: What the hell is the deal with long ass cycles? My cycle is normally 35/36 days but this month it will be more like 42 based on my O day. That means the next time i will be testing is not until the very end of March.

Are you charting? Can you link it, if so? It's hard to offer feedback without more info.

Well, now I don't know where I belong. Based on my temp today my CH are gone entirely. So it went from CD15 to CD19 (with maybe something in between based on chart stalks) to nothing. I guess it's now just a waiting game. Fuck.

Just to add, Matilda was my favorite book as a kid. I carried it everywhere.

FWIW, I still like CD19 for O day. I'm not 100% sure why you don't have CHs at all anymore. Do they come back if you discard CD14?

Good call - I just was feeling defeated and didn't think to see if that made a difference.  If I discard that day it's dotted CH at CD15 again.  And if I just plug in temps similar to CD15 into CD16 (missing a temp completely that day) it gives me dotted CH at CD16.  I really do think that I did O sometime that week, so I will just be waiting for AF or taking another test soon.

Yeah, I think CD15 or 16 is also possible. The + OPKs through CD17 throw it off, but like you said, I'm pretty sure it's not a question of if you O'd, just exactly when.

Ray Sorry for the BFN

Cycle/Month: 19/18

Gotcha. You might find that your O date changes a bit and leads to the difference in cycles. Only having one (while a good start, definitely) doesn't really tell much. Hopefully you will either have some good luck soon, or your charts will provide more clarity on the lengths of your cycles. Good luck!

GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? Harry Potter. Duh.

That makes me feel old because HP was from HS through law school for me.  I dutifully had the books delivered the day they came out, and the last one came out 4 days before I took the bar exam.

Sparkly, your chart is impressive in its detail.

haha I know...I like to check boxes.

I like it. I didn't even have to ask why you were pumping only instead of breastfeeding, because I saw that it coincided with travel.

(And that question had no relevance to your chart, btw, it was simply because I was nosy.)

I agree with FF. Cycles are "regular" until they're not.

Yeah, the first book was published in the U.S. during my third year in college. I turned 30 the year the last one came out. I hear ya!

Thanks. I put notes in too (because, OCD), but I find it helpful to quickly see -- oh yup, those weird temps correspond to drinking, DD waking up a lot, or this cycle, travel. I was also curious to see if EPing that week affected my cycle. I wasn't "due" to O, but it's only my second cycle PP, so there's no real pattern. I would have been traveling and EPing again today through Wednesday morning, but flights were cancelled due to snow. I'm kind of glad I'm not, so I will know my temps are fairly accurate.

I do notes for the same reason.

I love all the book choices. My plan (which is forever being delayed) is to go back to school for my MLIS. I would love to either work with a children's literacy program or get into archive work.

ETA: It's still early. Sentences are rough.

Cycle/Month: 9/7



CD/DPO:24/11 dpo



Timing: -3, -2, -1



Testing Plans:My temp dropped again, it is almost to coverline. I most likely will drop more when I wake up for work this evening so really no testing plans unless my temp goes back up.



Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Guess I should have waited to post here instead of like a goober late in Sat TWW.  I'm always one day behind everyone else. (I still consider myself in Saturday until I go home, go to sleep and wake up. I'm a weird night shifter) lol


GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? My grandmother let me borrow her "Little House on the Prairie" books and also her "Little Women" books. I loved them all so can't choose. 

Don't be silly. I figured you posting based on Saturdays numbers. You also work off hours so you can post wherever you like. :cool:

[rooskie]

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: -4,-2,O

Testing Plans: maybe the 26th. My LP is usually long and I'm sick of peeing on things 14dpo and starting the next day or two.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: none today.

GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? The Boxcar Children!

[bradysalon]

So my asshole dog just ate my thermometer AGAIN. Will it affect anything if I get a different brand and use it right now? Or should I just get the same brand?

[Deleted]

I reread all the book picks @ Daisy818 - love, love, loved Matilda. @led anything Roald Dahl always. I have anthology of all his other works. It's a fantastic read.
whatsit - I have an antique copy of Little Women - I cherish it.
Sparkly - the Wind in the willows movie scared the crap out of me when I was little.

rooskie and the other nostalgic ladies - I read all of the original Boxcar Children, Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books before the age of 11. The Boxcar Children were my favorite.
rlpointer86 - sideways stories remind me of the 4th grade. Bring me back.
Ray - Anything dinosaurs is always a great choice.

In general I loved all of your choices. The only one I'm not sure if I recognize is Miss Rumphius but I'm googling it now.

GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? Nancy Drew books (I love this question, btw, @wallflr926. Excellent choice.)

I'm in peanut POAS suspense!

I would probably try to get the same one, assuming you like it, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't.

Thanks! I'm just at Walmart and don't feel like stopping at rite aid but I will stop being lazy and just suck it up. Hahaha. I really need to learn to put my thermometer up high when I'm not home.

I have to put it in a drawer every morning after temping because it's DD's favorite object to pluck from my nightstand and make off with/chew.

I'm in peanut POAS suspense!

I decided to wait till tomorrow. My first first BFP was at 12dpo (miscarriage). My second first BFP was at 10dpo, but I was testing out my trigger and that was supposed to be the third day of negatives so that I would "know" that the trigger was out and any BFPs would be real. (Obviously that went a little different than I expected when I got a very clear BFP!) So anyway, I decided to split the difference and go for 11dpo. Because... meh, why not?

ETA: And, TBH, today might only be 9dpo. I'm not 100% convinced of my O date. Then my timing wouldn't be as good, but whatevs. Still ok.

I actually have a similar plan. I have degrees in History and Literature, so it fits. I plan to start the graduate work when my son enters Kindergarten.

Makes sense, totally. You have so much willpower. That would be hard for me. Even when things make more sense, like, "wouldn't it be better to wait and see a BFP than a BFN just because you didn't want one day"? But sometimes I suck at convincing myself of those things.

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 4

CD/DPO: CD21

Timing: meh I think we did alright.

Testing Plans: March 1st

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: nada.

GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? I remember reading Charlotte's web and James and the giant peach a lot.

[mill23]

I go here now! CHs showed up this morning.

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: 15/3

Timing: good

Testing Plans: If AF doesn't show. FF is saying test date of March 3rd.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I said this in WTO, but I think m CHs are wrong. I suspect I O'd yesterday not 3 days ago. We will see though.

GTKY : See my signature! The Phantom Tollbooth is hands down my favourite. I also loved the BFG, and The Little Princess, and My Friend Flicka (though I guess that might be for an older age than the others).

What a great question @wallflwr926! It's made me want to re-read all these choices.

BFNs don't really bother me so much. I have seen a lot of them. I just get mad at myself for peeing on things too early.

[achromia]

Cycle/Month: 8/8

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: high

Testing Plans: Maybe Thursday, 2/19. We are flying out to visit my family that night and I would like to sort of know whether to expect AF during the trip.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nothing TTC-related. I can't believe the wind that has been howling outside my house for the last 16 hours though! It ripped our flagpole bracket right off the front porch.

GTKY: What's your favorite book from childhood? I loved to read. Maybe a tie between my collection of Nancy Drews and Island of the Blue Dolphins.
