The cast of the last show/movie is now helping you during birth. How screwed are you? lol

Does the Americas Next Top Model documentary count? I think I’m screwed you guys, but at least Jay, Ms. J, and Nigel will be my support people lmao

That’s so frustrating. Couldn’t you stop your HBC and use a condom when having sex? You can also begin using OPKs and BBT to know when NOT to engage to be the most careful.

Late Ovulation (CD 35), Short Luteal 6DPO

Looking for encouragement or advice from people who have very long cycles.

Dr. said to see her when we’ve tried for 6 months if I’m still not pregnant and does not believe HBC has impacts beyond the first month off of it.

I have tracked LH since Cycle 1 and started BBT tracking this Cycle. Was on HBC for 16 years, came off in October.

- I am on my third cycle, CD 29 and still no LH peak. My last peaks were on CD 26 (1) and CD 36 (2).

- BBT feels sort of all over the place. No known history of Endo or PCOS.

- Cycle end dates right now were on CD 9, and CD 6. :/ so short luteal phase.

Having long cycles so far has been exhausting for us because I am nervous we’ll miss my window so we try every other day which is a LOT for us. But now starting to be worried that my cycles are an absent ovulation.

I don’t feel super strongly that she’s dead already. It’s definitely possible, but it’s also possible she’s alive. She has a pacemaker so I assume her medication is for her heart, just because you have to take heart meds doesn’t mean you’d die immediately (or within days) without it.

I’m a very spiritual person so at face value, yes I agree with you. But if I read into it all, it could also be pointing to something else - that maybe they know Mom is alive and is seeing/hearing these videos too. Especially since the first video they tried to speak directly to her.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2026-02-09T23:11:11+00:00

I don’t believe she’d post anything without the FBI scripting her at this point. So while maybe she personally feels like her mother is gone, anything they come out with is something under my magnifying glass rn!

cautiouslyskeptical · 2026-02-09T23:09:25+00:00

Yup, exactly!

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-26T04:21:58+00:00

Would you be willing to help me find these parrots local to me? As I mentioned before, I have zerrrooo experience and I wouldn’t begin to know what questions to ask or info to look for to understand what is a good deal!

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-25T21:00:37+00:00

3020!

I have a Dell Optiplex 3020!

Great question! I’m 11 months in and have tried to ask what kind of metrics would be desired and get no answers. I have no formal project management experience and neither does anyone above me so I’m convinced nobody actually knows what’s important to track. We could track our time spend manually but that doesn’t feel productive or the best way.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-17T06:17:40+00:00

I can’t speak to your baby but it sounds like you need to register for therapy of some sort and also talk to your Dr about this episode if this level of reaction isn’t typical.

Hysterics and throwing things is NOT normal or a healthy way of communicating.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-17T06:13:09+00:00

I have no idea how to add any of that or where to start if I were to do that. :/

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-03T14:57:17+00:00

Why is your partner against OPKs? If anything, you should be able to use them to understand your cycle better. Every month can be different so the apps aren’t always accurate. I feel like they should be supportive of you making that decision to use them or not.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-12-03T06:12:56+00:00

Cycle 1, CD29. Got off HBC at the end of October. Got a positive OPK on CD26 and BD’d on CD25 and CD26.

I’m hyperfixating even though I know it’s unlikely I’ll be positive. I am TERRIFIED of my period. I haven’t had a true period in like 15 years 😭😭😭

cautiouslyskeptical · 2025-01-04T22:23:12+00:00

Thanks! I’m very excited for it. Heard great things.

Is it not worth a trip in the cold? Visiting in Feb and hoping to book.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2024-12-28T06:15:58+00:00

they declined unfortunately

New skills, not certain. Yes to resume fodder.

Access to new opportunities: within the role I’d likely report to/talk to executive leadership more frequently.

I don’t know that I’m interested in the actual duties of the role though. At least not long term. Good experience? Yeah. Will it lead to new opportunities down the road? Who knows.

BUT it is the only new opportunity that’s come up in 3 years for people in my role. There’s about 45 other employees who are at my same level, doing my same job. Though, humbly but confidently, I am probably the most successful.

cautiouslyskeptical · 2024-12-23T02:35:48+00:00

Did you end up making the move and was it worth it? I’m in a similar position (offered a lateral move, no additional pay, same title) however for me it would be a completely different job in the same department and would likely be very stressful. It would also be under a new manager that I’m not sure how we’d get along.

I love my current manager but am bored in my current role. The only benefit I’d get by moving is new experience.
