BTW, I am going to add a quick backstory parenthetical to the list because that is so much easier for me - I like knowing a tiny bit about each person without having to scroll back to find their intro. Once more people intro on the new thread, I will update the list (I have the remaining May days over there as well...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659976 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:29:10 +0000 deactivated_account 1659976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: FYI, IMO, the June thread is awesome! Love the addition of the "back story" section. I'm always curious about girls' back stories, what they've had done and what they are doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659971 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:26:27 +0000 septca 1659971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: I will be here, too! And, it's true - I actually like when my husband calls me out for my PMS BS. (1) He's right, and (2) I appreciate the fact that he understands it is hormonal, not just me. I would rather he call me out than think that my actions are legit... Because I'm really not a crazy person normally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659953 Tue, 27 May 2014 10:19:05 +0000 deactivated_account 1659953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: you are a doll! </p> <p>Sorry I couldn't help think of a cutesy name for the June thread! I will probably stick around here until June actually hits so that I can fully support the end of May testers! I will see all you June girls soon enough! </p> <p>As for our dearest husbands calling out our pms symptoms.... I've actually embraced that! It's true sometimes I get crazy and then I can say,"so sorry, it's pms and I can't help it." It works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659722 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:06:55 +0000 septca 1659722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And just to close out my May story... it's CD1 today. *Awesome* I also had ridiculous PMS this month. *Double Awesome* So much so that in the middle of a completely absurd, overly dramatic fight, my DH said, "Wait. Hold up. Didn't you say that your period was due in a couple of days? Can we finish having this conversation then?" Nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659677 Tue, 27 May 2014 08:54:39 +0000 septca 1659677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New thread is UP:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/june-ttc-6-months-support-thread?replies=5#post-1659675" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/june-ttc-6-months-support-thread?replies=5#post-1659675</a> </p> <p>I am still populating the list and pulling some info from over here, so be patient with me. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/40#post-1659490 Tue, 27 May 2014 07:35:53 +0000 septca 1659490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:grin: You can trust me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659474 Tue, 27 May 2014 07:17:15 +0000 septca 1659474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys.

I just think the month should only indicate what month it IS instead of WHEN we are expecting BFPs that way we can have a revolving list and no rolloversand no one will ever be off the list of left out be they end of the month or beginning of the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659376 Tue, 27 May 2014 01:55:32 +0000 Snowdrop 1659376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know im only a cheer leader now but I do think having a new thread regularly will make it easier to follow and for new people to join :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659375 Tue, 27 May 2014 01:50:29 +0000 Snowdrop 1659375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LIL BEAN: i was on 400mg pessaries (still am) and i started to feel a but off a few days after taking them. I think it was the progesterone as that was a little early for symptoms but i can't be too sure. Hoping it's a good sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659357 Tue, 27 May 2014 00:43:59 +0000 deactivated_account 1659357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: So..... we do it monthly? </p> <p>If we do it seasonaly, how can we say each month what cycle we are on and what we are doing different and all the other "new month" introductions?</p> <p>This isn't the IF thread.... Its the exact same as the reagular PAOS thread with a smaller and, now, obviously, more senstive group of people. </p> <p>But hey... just because a girl is at 6 months TTC doesn't mean she needs to join this thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659354 Tue, 27 May 2014 00:35:13 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1659354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmaybe for tracking purposes we could make it seasonal at least or perhaps we can date each one the date its created so we can find them easily? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659346 Tue, 27 May 2014 00:19:46 +0000 Crystal 1659346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited for our new thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659335 Tue, 27 May 2014 00:10:16 +0000 deactivated_account 1659335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Marfi: Exactly!

I hope you are doing well. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying you are always welcome here. I lurked on here early too because my age and my LP deficiency always made me feel like my chances were a bit slimmer than those on the other boards. I frequent both but this is the better place for me when I'm in harder times. </p> <p>@Keppa: wow! We are both going Wednesday and both have sons who are 21 months or close (my son will be 21 months on June 7). Are we the same person? I know you have been at it a while longer though and I'm so sorry. All I will say is this: no matter what the OB tells you you make your own call. I kind of helped my situation by giving myself a wean by date and makin the process very gradual. I hope we both get some sound advice and better yet let's just end up KU before we even know it! </p> <p>@septca: did you catch my title suggesting PINK LINES AND PINK LEMONADE: 6 month and up tcc ? An alternate would be Pink lines and Pink Champagne , Or maybe BFP or Belini: " </p> <p>im trying to think of something that works for those who graduate and those who rollover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659148 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:26:24 +0000 LIL BEAN 1659148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @swedishfish: @AmeliaBedilia: ah well...

I can also confirm it is no cure-all for morning sickness :/ I hate when drugs mess with your mind!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659121 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:11:59 +0000 swedishfish 1659121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LIL BEAN: I was just telling my husband how unfair it is that the medications I'm on cause pregnancy symptoms so I have no clue if it's the medications or a pregnancy right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659118 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:11:00 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1659118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LIL BEAN: Progesterone can cause lots of symptoms that mimic pregnancy. My head knows that symptom stalking is pointless when on progesterone. My heart keeps telling me that maybe my fatigue and sore breasts are something. So trying not to get my hopes up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659117 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:10:51 +0000 septca 1659117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a reminder to everyone that I am putting up the new thread tomorrow!

I'm only on CD6 here, and already feeling negative about this month - which just seems silly. I have my first appt to talk about how long things are taking on Wednesday and I'm nervous, but also hopeful in some ways. My son's 21 months and I'm still just not ready to give up nursing. I really hope I don't have to. Everyone keeps telling me that that's what I'm going to hear from the woman on Wednesday...and if it is, then I guess I just have to go from there. He's mostly weaned overnight (although not totally) but he still nurses 3-4 times a day. We'll see what happens Wednesday, I guess.<br /> I can't believe how rapdily I'm closing in on a year of trying... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659107 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:08:22 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 1659107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcCarthy: I know how you feel, hun.

I've never used a cream that doesn't go down below before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1659089 Mon, 26 May 2014 19:58:20 +0000 LIL BEAN 1659089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Chickadees... Just catching up on all the chatter. But I also have a question about progesterone:</p> <p>I'm 10dpo and on progesterone cream for first time, prescribed by my Naturopath. Dose is 20mg in morning, 20mg at night, applied to soft skin on wrists, underarms, chest, and back of knees (supposed to rotate sites). </p> <p>I'm getting some pretty yucky nausea today and yesterday. (This is not normal for me in TWW.) Has anyone else had this from progesterone? :teamgreen: :teamgreen: </p> <p>Conflicting reports online (as per usual!). One website said nausea is never a side effect, as a matter of fact, prog is a TREATMENT for morning sickness. Which gets me all excited that it might be a preg symptom. And then other sites say I should ignore ALL symptoms while using progesterone - all fake. Sigh. </p> <p>SO... Wondering what your experience with progesterone has been? Would love to hear your story... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor-poas-6-months-ttc/page/39#post-1658838 Mon, 26 May 2014 17:12:01 +0000 lilyofthewest 1658838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD - AF is here to ring in cycle #5 in style. Or cycle 4, depending on how I look at it. I had a long wonky cycle after getting my IUD out that experientially was one cycle for me. In hindsight, now that I have two more months of charting data to help me interpret things, it was two cycles. Heh. The little bit of spotting and pain in the middle was actually my first post-Mirena period. If only AF could've stayed like that!! </p>
