Hellobee Boards

Good luck ladies!! I hosted the October POAS thread and I think we only had 3 or 4 BFP's all month....BUT! November had a TON of BFP's! So hoping February brings tons of positives to the bee!

Estimated O Date: Jan 22
POAS/AF date: AF is due on Feb 6th, I'll probably test on Feb 2nd, although I have a tendency to test WAY too much so we'll see, haha.
Cycle #: 5
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/wonderstruck
Trying new this cycle: This was my first month temping, and we managed to BD on ovulation day as well as the two days before it, so fingers crossed! If that didn't work...well, I don't know.
What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? DH's birthday is the day before Valentine's Day and he's turning 30, so this year it will be more about that. I've been saving for his present for ages and I know he's going to love it, so I'm excited! And my favorite candy for any holiday is Reese's hearts/trees/eggs/whatever,

Estimated O Date:
POAS/AF date:About Feb 26th
Cycle #: 2

Trying new this cycle: This cycle could be kind of a throw away. I am going to NYC for my grandmas 90th birthday and it falls right in my fertile window. I will try to BD as much as we can before and after our return but if i ovulate early or something we could miss my window entirely. Basically Feburrary is not looking like an optimal month for me to break out the kitchen sink. I do plan to pay a lot of attention to my mental and physical health this month though.

What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? Honestly we are so cash poor these days I doubt we will do much. maybe make eachother cards.
And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Sees bordeaux truffles OMG

Estimated O Date: Superbowl Sunday!
POAS/AF date: Valentine's Day!
Cycle #: 4
Chart link: NA
Trying new this cycle: First month using clearblue fertility monitor, attempting smep yet again, keeping up with my yoga

What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? Dinner at a great restaurant

And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Chips and cookies are my sweet spot, but I like white chocolate as well.

Count me in as a cheerleader! Here's hoping for many, many BFPs.

Estimated O Date: Jan 22nd or Feb 18th

POAS/AF date: POAS Feb 1st or Feb 28th

Cycle #: 1ish? My last cycle started in the beginning of December and just never ended, so I never really got a shot at January. Then I randomly O'd on cd49, and we just happened to have BD'd once within the fertile window, but I'm not super hopeful for that cycle, timing wasn't great.

Chart link: I'm charting, but no link

Trying new this cycle: OPKs

What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? Valentine's Day is actually DH's birthday, so we celebrate that instead. We'll probably go out to dinner that weekend.

And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? If it's chocolate, I'll eat it!

Good luck to everyone! I have been stalking the POAS threads lately as hubs and I are ready to start trying for #2, but are waiting a couple months so we are more certain of where we will be when the new one arrives. I'm looking forward to seeing some more BFPs!

Estimated O Date: 2/6
POAS/AF date: 2/18

Trying new this cycle: Using FMU for OPKs (I drink too much water to hold until the afternoon). Oh and I got a new thermometer this cycle that I think is better than my old one.
What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? Five-course tasting menu at a nationally-renowned restaurant near us that we haven't tried yet.
And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Dark chocolate cherry cordials.

Estimated O Date: Not sure; FF says CD14 for now

Trying new this cycle: having sex, who knew that was important for ttc!
What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? We're making dinner at home and staying in with a movie. We like celebrating as a family since it's not a "real" holiday...if we get our BFP I will be telling DH that night

I'll be cheering for all you ladies!!!

@hellobeeboston: I got my BFP for LO at the end of February (date of conception was valentine's day) so I worry about their birthdays being so close but at the end of the day I don't care bc I'd rather just get pregnant...but I totally know what you mean. I have guilt that her 3rd birthday won't be as great as I want it to be if I'm hugely pregnant or have a newborn...but it will be one birthday and for the rest of her life she will have a sibling.

@dc yoga bee: fx that the monitor gets you a BFP!

@sandy: My brother and I are 3 years apart, but my birthday is the day after his. We actually both really liked having birthdays close together, and my parents always gave us separate parties, so I never felt like I was missing out.

Woo hoo! Thanks @ladyhibiscus! I will not POAS until the beginning of Feb, so I'm excited to join! I was on January's POAS threads bc I thought I'd O earlier than I did. FX for a not-too-short LP and a positive PG test!

Estimated O Date: January 23
POAS/AF date: Feb 1/2/3**
Cycle #: 1

(For some reason BDing isn't showing up-we did O-1 and O+1)
Trying new this cycle: Lots o' Condom-free BD

What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? My parents and sister will be visiting, so nothin' too sizzling hot! IF I happen to get a BFP (which I know is incredibly unlikely), it will be a special day because I'll be able to share the news then.

And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Chocolate. Milk chocolate, I should specify-if it's "dark" or "white" I want no part of it. I'm a (cheap) chocolate purist!

** I'm a nut in most areas of my life (SUPER Type A, the queen of "what if's", etc.), so the TTC process is and will continue to be hard. As a result, I just ordered PG tests online, knowing that I won't get them until the end of the week. If I start spotting on Saturday (typical for me the day before my period starts) then I won't take them. If for some reason I don't I might indulge...otherwise, I'll wait until Monday morning. NOT Sunday, which is the Super Bowl, and hubby's team is playing (GO BRONCOS). I want to save any baby news for another day!

@snowjewelz: Yay!! Excited for you to officially join! I wish I'd been a better charter right when I got off BC. I only loosely paid attention and I regret it now. Good for you for getting on it so quickly!

@dc yoga bee: Hope this is the month for us both! Love your profile pic-you are super flexible. If I'm lucky enough to get preggo, I might be contacting you for some good yoga tips. I am an avid runner but suck at yoga....I know I'll need to calm down, stretch, and breathe while PG!

@ChiCalGoBee: my original plan with Lo1 was to tell DH in a super fun creative way but it was more shoving a pee stick on his face and asking him if he saw two lines...I swore if we ever get pregnant again I will do better haha. Plus I have hellobee this time, I can virtually shove a pee stick on here and see of you guys see what I see haha

@ChiCalGoBee: I know, right?! I keep looking at "big sister" shirts and have to stop and remind myself that it might not happen this soon...if ever. I really hope this is our month! BFPs for everyone!
