Hellobee Boards

@HappyBluebird: thanks, i just had more hope since I weaned breastfeeding last month and this was my first full cycle without nursing.

@JennyG: We ended up going to an RE. I really like mine. It's not completely monitored like you'll hear some do. But, I'm annovulatory, so she said it's not necessary at this point. However, she does monitor via bloodwork on specific days and I have to check in a number of times per month via phone with her nurse. She was also very active about speaking with me about her expextations of me during the cycle. For example, how much protein per day, drinking water, watching for signs of ohss, etc. I feel tins more comfortable with her than my ob/gyn who couldn't remember what the plan was each time I spoke with her. My plan is to switch back to a ObGyn I saw previously when/if this pregnancy thing happens.

@californiadreams: FX that it was just your body adjusting back from breastfeeding, and that it will be back on track with a longer LP next time! I second what I've heard about taking B complex, I've read multiple times that is very effective for lengthening LP. Only caveat is I'd probably wait until after ovulation to start taking it, I've read many times that it can delay ovulation and I suspect it's what had a hand in me waiting until day 31 and 34 for O on my last two cycles.

I'm so excited ya'll, I think I ovulated either yesterday or today, on day 20 or 21! This is a big win for me for two reasons! Firstly, I've been ovulating super late since August, and I was/am worried about PCOS. Secondly, we managed to have great timing with no DH performance anxiety. FX for higher temps tomorrow and getting in one more chance tonight

@chaosmaven: I hope I'm not jinxing it but POAS date on March 9th?

@Chaosmaven: Could you change my POAS date to 3/12 please? The RE gave me that date today at my IUI (instead of 3/10) so I better do what she says! Thanks!!

@MrsCobee: Thanks for the input. I got pregnant in Sept with a loss in Oct/Nov, and it threw off my cycles for awhile. My obgyn offered testing if this cycle is irregular as well, and as of now, I'm hopeful... we'll see! I plan on asking for testing in July which will be our 11ish, 12th month. Also, I'm 26, and will be 27 in August.

Newbie! And late to join the convo.
Cycle day: 5
TTC cycle: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: OV projected for 3/13ish (I elaborate below) and thinking I may POAS 3/29-4/1.
Baby#3
Plan this month: I am tracking cm and using opk's at this point.
No charting yet.

Well I am 33, DH 35, DD 10 and DS 7. Stopped bcp on 1-14-15 and followed with a long cycle of 41 days in which I believe was annovulatory. I had no positive opk's and wonky cm amongst many hormone fluctuation symptoms. Feel like I have ran an emotional marathon from hormones trying to regulate and I am now on cd5 and will continue using opk's and tracking cm for a couple cycles. Then add in bbting after my 3rd Cycle.

Cycle Day: 2
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation and POAS dates: O 3/12 and POAS 3/26
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: OPKs twice a day if necessary (I've been getting positives in the morning) and lots of BDing.

Hi ladies, is it ok if I join over here instead of being all alone on the February boards? I'm going to test tomorrow but it'll only be 9dpo so I'm not expecting much. I think 3/1 at 10dpo is probably my earliest bet for a bfp! My chart is looking promising with a maybe-implantation dip at 6dpo and back up the next two days, but I'm on progesterone supplements so I don't know how much a pretty chart counts for with those..

@Berly: everyone is definitely pregnant. Seriously every freaking one I know. Especially a million due in June when my mc would have been due. Got invited to the shower of the first June baby today. Yeah nooooot going to that.

@Berly: Yes! I was out yesterday and it felt like every second person was pregnant!

@CObee: Good luck tomorrow and welcome to the March boards

@HappyBluebird: I honestly don't know. I know anecdotally a few stories of people getting pregnant the first cycle post-weaning after trying for several months. So i was hoping to add to those stories

@MrsMccarthy: I weaned on January 14. and before that we were down to a few sessions a week, so this was our first post-weaning cycle.

@Chaosmaven: thanks, yes I remember us talking about it and i did read up on it a little. Since I just weaned last month, i think i will wait a few cycles and see what happens. Especially if i end up changing jobs as i might, it might be better to wait.

@DesertDreams88: good to know about only taking it post ovulation! thanks! and FX for you this month!

@MrsMccarthy: thanks, i hope so too!

@travellingbee: after how many months did you wean? my cycles have appeared pretty regular since 6 months pp, but i didn't start charting until a couple of months ago and discovered the short LP. I guess i was hoping that since I weaned so gradually and had been down to a few short sessions a week at 26 months, that my cycle would be normal immediately after. i guess not. And i guess i have hope that it will regulate itself as opposed to having no explanation for why this is happening.

Cycle Day: one
TTC Cycle #: cycle ten(ish), month fifteen
Ovulation and POAS dates: FF predicts ovulation between the 17th and 19th, though I ovulated on CD 14 last month. I won't POAS before the 29th.
Baby #: one
Your plan this month: Keep up with vaginal temping. Thanks to all of those who recommended it on the January board - it made a HUGE difference in my chart. Also, Pregnitude, OPKs and I have an HSG scheduled on CD 11.

I will likely wear green on the 17th, but it's a school night, so I will have to skip any rowdy celebrations.

@FannyMae: My OPK did the same to me as well this month. Low and then one flashing smiley and then peak on CD12 which seemed weird but it does seem I O'd on CD14, although it seemed to happen later in the day since no temp rise, so over 48 hours since the peak. I bought some other opk from the supermarket to check and they were nothing but negative (and one that was invalid) so it was really confusing.

I did some reading about the clear blue advanced afterwards and found it is important not to over saturate. Which is I think what my problem was and why I peaked a bit early.

@DesertDreams88: Either way your bases look covered.

@fannymae: day 10 definitely looks peak!! So maybe O on 11 or 12? Man, jealous, that is so early! I use the Clearblue in the morning, and cheapies in the afternoon, I like comparing and I'm always indecisive about interpretation.

@FannyMae: Maybe you are Oing early then! CD10 definitely looks the most positive.

@DesertDreams88: I would of said CD21 is your positive on the first ones but your chart agrees with the 20th from the 2nd lot.

Why are these things sooo confusing and hard to read! Haha
