    Ok I'm jumping in here too...

    CD: 7
    TTC cycle: First after a D&C in March for a blighted ovum.
    Ovulation and POAS dates: O on 5/28-ish, POAS 6/11 but I have an entire pack of cheapie internet tests from March so I'm SURE I'll start earlier than that.
    Baby #: 2
    The plan: Just back to trying! Nervous after our loss but also glad to get the go ahead from my OB.

    Fingers crossed for some Valentine's babies!

    Good luck ladies! This makes me so excited since I'm not a June poas but I think I will be late July depending on when af falls. Almost my turn!

    Cycle Day: 2
    TTC Cycle #: 4
    Ovulation and POAS dates: 6/4, 6/18
    Baby #: 2
    Your plan this month: Prob gonna start opk's. Trying to avoid temping this time as it drove me crazy while ttc #1.
    Might start acupuncture, as I got KU with #1 right after starting to see an acupuncturist for fertility last time.

    AF showed her face yesterday, so now I have some dates to plan around!

    Cycle Day: 2
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation and POAS dates: 6/4 ovulation and 6/18 POAS
    Baby # 2
    Your plan this month: Since this is only our first month trying, we are just going to bd a few times while in the fertile window, and cross our fingers that it works!!

    Good luck to everyone! I hope we all get BFPs in June!!!!!!!!

    I feel like I'm tempting fate posting about it, but I'm excited to be in!

    Cycle Day: 12
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation and POAS dates: around 5/27 for ovulation and I'll probably start POAS around the 6th or 7th of June
    Your plan this month: We only DTD once without protection. This is baby #2 and my husband wasn't necessarily on the same page as me about having #2 at all. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm going with it and not pushing my luck. I"m traveling with a bachelorette part 6/13 so if this isn't my month I have a consolation prize, but I'd love to be the boring sober friend that weekend

    I started using OPKs this cycle and when I got home from a bachelorette weekend I randomly tested and got my smiley face! I am going to BD as much as possible the next few days and keep my fingers crossed!

    apricot / 451 posts

    Okay ladies.....remember 2 days ago when I said we were going to have a laid back approach and just bd during my fertile window? Well, I am a filthy liar, because I just caved and ordered an ovulation prediction kit from Amazon!

    @Lilbear: No judgment from me! Will you get them in time to start using them for this cycle?

  10. Lilbear

    apricot / 451 posts

    Oh yes - they should arrive tomorrow! I won't be ovulating until the middle of next week, so that should still give me plenty of time.

    AF jut arrived so onto June

    Cycle Day: 1
    TTC Cycle #: 2
    Ovulation and POAS dates: maybe around the 9th for ovulation and the 22nd POAS.
    Baby #: 2, DD is 20 months.
    Your plan this month: taking it easy this month as we're travelling from now until around O time, so our timing will probably be off.

    Very excited to be joining!

    Cycle Day: 4
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation and POAS dates: between 8th & 10th June for ovulation, and I will try and wait till the 24th to POAS.
    Baby #: 2, I have a 17 month old DS
    Your plan this month: pretty relaxed although my body has thrown me off course a little with a random 26 day cycle this month (usually 31). Main issue will be trying to find time to dtd whilst staying with my parents for my sisters wedding!

    Good luck to everyone!

    Cycle Day: 2
    TTC Cycle #: 2
    Ovulation and POAS dates: Will O roughly 6/11-6/16 (I'm not keeping track, that's based on an app). POAS date is 6/28
    Baby #:1
    Your plan this month: Continuing to be relaxed about TTC, not charting, not stressing, researching, taking vitamins and exercising more/making healthy eating choices.

    Good luck everyone! I love the information and support from this group and I'm wishing everyone the best for a great month!

    I'm joining too!!

    But I need some assistance... What does cycle day mean? and how do you know your POAS date? (sorry, new to ttc board)

  15. kiddosc

    @Ajsmommy: The first day of your period is cycle day 1, then you count from there. You'll also often see dpo, which means days post ovulation.

    People who are charting, using OPKs, or have at least been tracking how long their cycle is will know about when their POAS date is. For example, if you know you typically have a 28 day cycle, then you can estimate when you would POAS based off of when your period started (count 28 days). I chart, so I will know when I ovulate and count out from there.

    Hi Y'all!

    Cycle Day: 13
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation and POAS dates: around 5/27 for O and POAS 6/23 (I think).
    Baby #: 2, we currently have 18 mos DD
    Your plan this month: DTD during fertile window. I'm a little thrown off b/c last month my cycle was only 26 days when it's usually 28 days so I'm not sure we got the timing right this month....

    (**for the POAS date, do you ladies do it a certain amount of DPO? or wait till a missed period?)

  17. Bubbles

    persimmon / 1328 posts

    @Ajsmommy: I will try and wait to POAS until the day I'm expecting my period, which for me is usually 14dpo. But may give in to temptation and test sooner of course

  18. Dr. Pepper

    apricot / 461 posts

    Cycle Day: 13
    TTC Cycle #: 1 (we have had about 2 months of NTNP- but I don't count those)
    Ovulation date: I had positive OPKs on 5/27 and 5/28
    POAS date: Maybe around 6/9 (12 DPO). I had + test at 9 DPO with my son, so I don't know if I can wait that long before I start trying.
    Baby #: 2. I have a son that is turning 2 years old on June 12th
    Your plan this month: BD every other day and just have fun. We've BD'd every other day since the 21st so far, so we're doing pretty good so far!

    Cycle Day: 18
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation and POAS dates: around 5/26 or 27 for O Day
    Baby #: 2, we currently have a almost 23 month old
    Your plan this month: just listen to my body, slow down & enjoy the ride;)
    I'm very in tune with my body and when I got pregnant with baby #1 I knew in the next few days that I was pregnant! And once again, I'm feeling very crampy so I'm fairly confident that I'm pregnant. This would be maybe 3 or 4 dpo...

    Cycle Day: 2
    TTC Cycle #: 3
    Ovulation and POAS dates: hoping to O around June 11, i'll POAS on June 22.
    Baby #: 2
    Your plan this month: So many new things! Our 22 month old finally started sleeping through the night; No more night nursing for me! I'm using the clear blue fertility monitor, and temping (now that i'm not up all night, i can do this!). I'm also planning to try mucinex, as I've had zero mucus the last 2 cycles…..And cutting back on caffeine and drinking lots of water! Whew! Should be a good month!

    Cycle Day: 18
    TTC Cycle #: 1
    Ovulation date: 30 May?
    POAS date: 13 June?
    Baby #: 2 (First is 2.5 yo)
    Your plan this month: No real plan, not temping/using ovulation predictors, but I think I'm in the two week wait now

    Cycle Day: 14
    TTC Cycle #: 4
    POAS date: 18
    Baby #: 1
    Your plan this month: Nothing except for TI. My birthday is at the end of the month, so a BFP would be a great present.

    @TrailRunner: Thanks for updating! I wasn't sure if this was the official June thread or not!

  25. NeonPink1234

    cherry / 107 posts

    I'll join!

    Cycle day: 25
    TTC Cycle: #3
    POAS Day: 6/3 - I always POAS at 10 DPO and consider myself out if its negative. Worked so far!
    Baby #: 2 I have a DD who is 20 months
    Your plan this month: Trying to be laid back with just TI and temping around O - we traveled a bit, so I think we only got O and nothing earlier. Not too high of hopes. But I have been surprisingly laid back, unlike with DD1.

    DH is traveling in June, so our next attempt will probably be July.

    Trying to have "fun" reasons to not be pregnant each month. Like some event where I could drink, etc. Makes it easier.

    @TemperanceBrennan: I'm not really sure if it is either, but I figured I would update anyways. Maybe it will become more active in the next couple weeks.

  27. NeonPink1234

    cherry / 107 posts

    @TrailRunner: @TemperanceBrennan: I think someone should just declare it the official thread. Or start one. There is the 6+ month thread that many ladies are on.

    I'm sure there are more June POASers - I need more ladies to cheer on!

  28. NeonPink1234

    cherry / 107 posts

    @lauraeva: Good for you! I have GOT to drink more water! Its so good for you.

    @jh524: You are right around the same time as me .. when do you POAS?

    @Ajsmommy: With DD I had a positive test at 8 dpo - so I've decided to not waste as many tests this go round, I'm just going to test at 10 dpo and call myself out if negative. So far it's worked, but I'm sure eventually the crazy will set in

  29. TrailRunner

    kiwi / 585 posts

    @NeonPink1234: I'll update for now until someone decides if they want to start a new thread or not. I'll go ahead and update for you. Good luck!!

    @NeonPink1234: ha! I Didn't know what POAS was so last time I Got my positive on 14dpo so that would put at 6/9

  32. Ajsmommy

    pomegranate / 3355 posts

    @Bubbles: LOL.. gotcha... for my 1st DD I POAS the day or so before my period and it was a strong BFP. We were so lucky that it was our first month trying. I'm totally anxious this time though and I wanna know "now"... I know a lot of others POAS quite often and soon after O. I am going to try to wait as long as I can!!! but I'm not gonna lie I'd totally do it tomorrow if I had any tests lying around!

    @NeonPink1234: good luck to you!

    ETA: what is the soonest you would POAS?? anyone??

  33. TrailRunner

    kiwi / 585 posts

    @jh524: I updated you as 6/9. Good luck

  34. NeonPink1234

    cherry / 107 posts

    @Ajsmommy: Not many people get positives earlier than 8 dpo .. maybe some 7s. I don't think I've seen a 6, but it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

  35. Ajsmommy

    pomegranate / 3355 posts

    @NeonPink1234: I'm going to make myself wait. I'm totally hoping some of the other ladies get some BFP's soon though, starting with YOU!

  36. NeonPink1234

    cherry / 107 posts

    @Ajsmommy: Good for you! I have no willpower. For anything. But if I test any early than 10, I'll just convince myself it was too early and test again the next day. 10 seems to be the magic number so far.

  37. Bubbles

    persimmon / 1328 posts

    @Ajsmommy: Ahh yeah I can relate, our DS was also conceived on the first try so I keep having to remind myself that it doesn't mean it'll happen so quickly again!

  38. TrailRunner

    kiwi / 585 posts

    I think I have convinced myself I am out this month. I am having really bad period-like cramps, and I know that I ovulated early last week so that isn't the cause. I have endo so my cycles are often very short, and I think I will prob get my period this week.

  39. jh524

    pear / 1632 posts

    @TrailRunner: there is a possibility those are implantation cramps so don't count yourself out too quickly. I got implantation cramps at 8-9dpo with my first, then a positive 5 days later

  40. reverie

    kiwi / 661 posts

    This TWW is brutal! I'm really good at making up symptoms, and even thought this is my first go at it (and we didn't give it our all), I'll be pretty sad if this isn't it! I wonder how much money I could make for designing a home pregnancy test that can tell you sooner than 8ish DPO.
