I was thinking that is anyone new was looking to POAS they might not be able to find “the active” POAS board since this one seems old by name, and currently is old without much action. </p> <p>Any objection to creating a 2021 POAS board? Hate to say it, but I think we could drop down to a year.... unless you guys think one of the issues with the Fall board is that people prefer a monthly board? </p> <p>On that note, AF still hasn’t come, which makes me three days late. I’ve had the cramps that feel like AF is coming, so I’ve had my cup in for 2 days now, but nada. </p> <p>Took this this morning and see a little blip on the bottom edge which I think it just an indent or issue with the test. At 3 days late, I’d expect a legit line, not this. </p> [attach=7491/21/qmatik.600x209.4501356F-8A6E-48AA-999B-DC4A68326EE4.jpeg] [attach=7491/21/qmatil.600x209.8EE10A7C-3B83-4143-AD66-953F51E10E2E.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921697 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 16:40:30 +0000 yellowbeach 2921697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF due today but not here yet - however BFN on the Wondfo... overall feeling is relief actually. </p> [attach=7491/20/qm69ji.600x110.D620B5CF-955A-4E28-B77D-A1DB7C1EFD22.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921532 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 12:05:25 +0000 MamaintheValley 2921532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo... this month has been exhausting, mentally and physically, and we just didn’t make the time to BD. I’m disappointed that we didn’t get our act together, but also just taking it as a sign that I needed a cycle where I wouldn’t be stressed about when AF might come or symptom spotting like crazy. </p> <p>I think self-care/saying no to anything stressful is going to get me through the rest of 2020. Then I can face 2021 with a more hopeful heart. Sending love to everyone else trying to do the same :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921494 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 00:28:20 +0000 yellowbeach 2921494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaintheValley: yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921480 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 12:37:18 +0000 MamaintheValley 2921480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just got a blazing positive OPK on my first day of testing (CD 12) with EWCM. I don’t normally see the OPK get positive still CD 14 or later, but here we go I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921295 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:46:03 +0000 agold 2921295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: I'm so sorry. </p> <p>@MamaintheValley: Thanks. And I'm so sorry about you. It's awesome that you finally confirmed how you are feeling and I really hope you get that third baby you want. We also feel pretty confirmed that we do not want a third since it was more relief than sadness we felt. So we've already scheduled a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921293 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:29:54 +0000 MoonMoon 2921293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaintheValley: aww I'm so sorry to hear that! The stress is so real, and I know whatever decision you make going forward, we're all here to support you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921282 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 12:35:06 +0000 MamaintheValley 2921282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: I made it to 11 days this time so I’ll be happy with that! I was actually about to test again just in case and of course that’s when AF comes... to be honest I mostly felt relief to just be out of limbo land. IDK if we will keep on the TTC track or not! Maybe later in 2021. So stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921241 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 21:50:26 +0000 MoonMoon 2921241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: I'm sorry! AF when TTC just hits differently. :bummed: </p> <p>@MamaintheValley: I'm sorry about the BFN! I also had really short LPs, that's always stressful when TTC. But I'm strictly of the opinion that unless you are sure you're not pregnant, there's always the possibility... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921227 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 17:43:35 +0000 MamaintheValley 2921227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: I’m sorry to hear - that’s tough :heart:<br /> @yellowbeach: Of course AF always comes on like a freight train when you’re hoping it won’t come at all! Ugh.</p> <p>AFM, the good news is I made it to 10DPO without AF coming, since my LP has been consistently 8-9 days. The bad news is that I am now totally on board with having a third, but just tested since I hate having hopes dashed in the form of AF. BFN.</p> <p>Here’s to 2021... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2921145 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 10:43:42 +0000 yellowbeach 2921145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF came with a vengeance this morning. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920992 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 21:45:31 +0000 yellowbeach 2920992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Thinking of you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920913 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 15:19:05 +0000 agold 2920913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: Thank you! I see you have three little guys. Good for you. I will forever be envious of families with three kids. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920912 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 15:02:01 +0000 LadyDi 2920912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: What a rollercoaster! It's always a little bittersweet to end one stage of your life, I think. I certainly dote on my last no-so-little one. Hugs to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920911 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 14:37:34 +0000 agold 2920911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@poppygirl15: @bhbee: Thanks girls, I really am a little sad about it. :heart: and wow, feels crazy to really be ending the baby making stage of our life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920906 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 14:22:27 +0000 bhbee 2920906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: hugs! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920903 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 14:09:42 +0000 poppygirl15 2920903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Thanks for the update. Glad you're able to find some peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920902 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:43:23 +0000 agold 2920902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I'm out. For good. This was a crazy little emotional roller coaster of a last shot and that's it for us. We felt more relief than sadness when this test turned up blank and my period started. Didn't help that after days of freaking out, I went to a friendsgiving and three friends announced pregnancies so I began to get so excited and continued to be all excited for 1.5 more days. Womp womp and phew. Vasectomy being scheduled asap and I'll rock my last little baby extra long while I can. </p> <p>Good luck girls who are still peeing on sticks this year! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920856 Mon, 16 Nov 2020 00:14:58 +0000 agold 2920856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: hi! I tested today and it’s still a very faint line. I purchased some more tests tonight and will test again in the morning. </p> <p>Good luck, girl! FF is as good as any and hopefully last night is the winner. Do it again tomorrow just for good measure and fun. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920854 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 21:33:13 +0000 yellowbeach 2920854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: any updates over the weekend???</p> <p>AFM, not temping or doing OPKs these days, but am tracking on FF which said yesterday was O day. DTD once last night. We shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920711 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 12:56:07 +0000 agold 2920711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girls! Thanks for all your thoughts on that little line. My husband suddenly is telling me he thinks it looks like an evaporation line. :silly: So he’s definitely at work thinking about this. I will test again maybe Saturday or Sunday if af doesn’t come before then. So crazy. I’m blown away. Vasectomy is planned for after this. So this is our one and last shot at a third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920709 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 12:17:26 +0000 MamaintheValley 2920709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Wow! Are you testing again today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920705 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 11:03:00 +0000 MoonMoon 2920705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it too! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/11#post-2920698 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:56:37 +0000 LadyDi 2920698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: looks like a positive to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/10#post-2920696 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:32:02 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2920696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: definitely a line! It looks like it has a little pink to it, which points me to believe it’s a positive and not a false! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/10#post-2920694 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 07:21:16 +0000 bhbee 2920694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: def a line! Frers can occasionally do crazy false positives so could be worth trying another brand (or just seeing what tomorrow looks like), but it’s no squinter so I’m voting real! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/10#post-2920692 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:59:43 +0000 poppygirl15 2920692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m not a POAS expert, but I totally see it! :goodluck: :bfp: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/10#post-2920690 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 23:50:56 +0000 agold 2920690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright. Please tell me your thoughts on this first response faint line. Im cd25, but my periods have been coming every 24-26 days since baby #2. Any chance it’s not even a second line? Or a false second line? I peed hard and long on this stick. :shocked: </p> [attach=6320/20/qjm84w.600x450.BF50B5FF-ACD1-41BE-915C-3154A445CB29.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-2020/page/10#post-2920183 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 18:08:55 +0000 MamaintheValley 2920183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: oh boy, another NTNP for a third! I also had to go the IVF route for my first two, so I feel like if we’re undecided why not just see what happens. At this point I don’t think I’d be too disappointed if a third doesn’t happen, but if it does, it would feel like a beautiful surprise, I’d that makes sense.</p> <p>I’m not NOT symptom spotting, though :wink: </p>
