@chypmunk: good luck this month!

Fingers crossed for everyone else!!

@MamaBear87: @chypmunk: @mrskansas: good luck ladies!

Cycle Day: 1, at least I'm pretty sure
TTC Cycle: 1
Ovulation Date: usually CD17 but we'll see
POAS Date: 10/20ish, I always POAS at 10dpo so I'll update
Baby #: 3 (that's crazy to type that, fingers crossed it's in the cards for us)
What's up this month: first time trying for this baby, pretty relaxed. I'll temp close to O just to know.
For Fun: Any fall plans this month? What's your favorite fall activity? I love fall! Apple picking is my favorite. And then I love Halloween and have already started celebrating Halloween by buying all the Halloween candy and eating it.

Well, I thought we'd sit this month out but as I had an amazing pregnancy dream last night - I told DH we need to try to fit in some BD. So I'm in.

CD: 11
TTC month: 4 post loss
Ovulation day - 25/26 september
POAS date: 11 October
Baby : 1
What's up this month: work. Trying to ignore this trying to conceive craziness. This is a terrible month to get pregnant for us but after my dream last night and coming up on the big 40 birthday - we've decide to keep trying and will deal with whatever happens, if it happens. Everyone tells me not to stress and I'm going to really try hard. It to stress this cycle.
For fun: tomorrow we are going to an Octoberfest event in germany where we live. Apparently it starts getting crazy around 4:00pm which is when our tickets are for - so we'll see some crazy and sick drunk Germans. We have tickets for 2 liters of beer - crazy as I can just handle 1/2 liter of beer before I call it quits. Should be fun.

So this is my first ever OPK (they just arrived in the mail today) - I've resisted for fear I'd let it take over my life. But caved as I wanted to know if I am actually ovulating. I'm Cd 13 - usually have a 27 day cycle. I think this looks pretty close to positive - is that true in your opinion?

We BD'd yesterday and I planned to tonight before seeing this OPK - if you were me, would you also go for tomorrow? Any other days? Would really like to have a good shot at conceiving this cycle.

I should also say this was taken this afternoon with no hold - I drink a lot of fluids and just had to pee when I got home so decided why not try the OPK.

@MrsJBeeG: It's close to positive but not quite. I'd test again later today but you could also be catching the tail end of your surge. I'd BD for the next three days.

@chypmunk: @HeartAbandoned: thanks ladies. I took your advice and took another - the second line came up right away and is slightly darker than the control. I'm counting it positive but will test tomorrow morning to see what it looks like.

So BD today and tomorrow for sure and then another night if I can convince DH. That would be 4 days in a row so he might try to whine his way out of the fourth day.

Alright, putting my hat in the ring again!

Cycle Day: 10
TTC Cycle: 2nd after a miscarriage at 11 wks last year
Ovulation Date: 9/30?
POAS Date: 10/14
Baby #: 2
What's up this month:
For Fun: Any fall plans this month? Hoping to visit some friends in NY early November. Last time we got together (January) I had recently miscarried, sheesh, how time flies.

Ladies - need experienced OPK help. So I believe I ovulate around day 13 as I have a regular 27 day cycle - like clockwork - and then I get strong hormone surges.

We BD'd day 12,13, and 14. Got a positive OPK day 13 (but had just got them in the mail on day 13 so don't know if I would have an earlier positive). Yesterday afternoon I had a clear negative OPK - second line was much lighter than control. So I thought I caught the tail end. But then this morning after my workout and with SMU - I just got a blazing positive OPK - like the second line was twice as dark as the control line.

Sorry for the long message but my question is - should we keep trying in the bedroom? I think my dH is about ready to be done with this sex marathon but he will keep going if I ask him too. He's a good sport like that. I was planning a break tonight and one last session tomorrow night. But perhaps we should try tonight since the second line on the OPK was so dark?

Would really appareciate your advice. Thanks!!!

Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle: month 16
Ovulation Date: ~10/11 (this past cycle on Femara was CD15 so hoping for the same this cycle)
POAS Date: ~10/24, although I probably will a little sooner
Baby #: 1
What's up this month: I am really going to try and not stress as much this month and let this whole ttc process consume my entire life like it has for the past 16 months. I was really heartbroken this morning when AF showed up but I guess everything happens for a reason. This is my second month with Femara so fingers crossed that it works!
For Fun: Any fall plans this month? What's your favorite fall activity? Not much planned for this month, probably a haunted house or two. I love fall, although I live in NY and it has been 85+ degrees all week so it doesn't feel much like fall right now!

@MamaBear87: I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago and OMG it was so hot. I think it was 115? I was miserable!

@mrskansas: this is our second summer. It's certainly been a crazy adjustment from the beach in ca

@MamaBear87: true. The summers are brutal - I've only been in Phoenix twice - both summer time stops and I thought it was brutal. And my husband and I are NM residents and lived in Las Cruces. And Phoenix is way hotter. But I hate winter and found out winters in germany are bad because it's that wet cold that really seeps into your bones.
