Estimated O Date: Fertility Friend has my fertile week as Nov 5-Nov 10th

pear / 1974 posts
So happy to be joining after a super long break!!!! Last POAS I was a part of was back in April I think! Since then, I've had two (!! never even had an IV put in before this year!) surgeries and now I'm only slightly starting to get back to normal.
Estimated O Date: NO idea. Currently CD15, but this is my first cycle post miscarriage so I am not sure how this cycle will play out.
POAS/AF date: I am really hoping this will actually be in sometime November but i really don't know until I o!
Cycle: Not sure how to answer this, i've been ttc since July 2012 but it's been very on and off with lots of breaks including a surprise (but failed) BFP in the middle, I would really only say this is ttc cycle #4 believe it or not.
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3d06b9
Trying new this cycle: nothing new - I bought the clearblue advance OPK the last cycle i was trying but didn't actually get to try it out to completion since we had to stop for surgery (LEEP), so that's kind of new?
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): Thanksgiving!!!! my absolute favorite holiday of the year!
blogger / pomegranate / 3491 posts
Estimated O Date: my cycle lengths are a giant mystery - there are twelve green days highlighted in my chart as potentially fertile days since my cycle length seems to be all over the place.
POAS/AF date: before the end of november at some point - will keep you posted...maybe the 24th?
Cycle: number 2!
Chart: no clue how to share...
Trying new this cycle: charting (did it with first LO - just resuming for this round), OPKs - first time ever
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): seeing family for Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, a photograhy class I am taking Nov 16-17 and C's half birthday :),

@MrsMcD: pee party!!
It's really interesting to see how many ladies are here post- miscarriage. I feel like its more than the usual POAS boards? Hoping for the stickiest of babies for us all!! 
cherry / 235 posts
Thanks so much for starting this thread! Hoping we all get BFPs this month!
Estimated O Date:Hoping for a O date within the next week. I'm on CD 12 now. Thinking it may be between October 31 - Nov 2 or somewhere around there.
POAS/AF date: Sometime the week of November 12
Cycle: #16 
(2 MCs - Dec '12 and May '13)
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3deb0c/
Trying new this cycle: Not really trying anything new. Got my last 2 BFPs after 2 months of trying by using charting BBT, testing with OPKs and following the SMEP plan. Started using progesterone supplements last cycle in the hopes that it will help me have a sticky baby this time around.
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): I CANNOT wait for Thanksgiving with my family. It is my favorite holiday and I absolutely love spending time with my nieces and nephews so I am pretty excited!

Wishing you All sticky baby dust!! I will be joining after my next period! ( mid November) so crazy!! It is hitting my DH and I that we are almost there, that we have been talking about it for over a year and now we are weeks away from officially trying! I am going to follow you ladies. It is so nice to see some first timers!
olive / 71 posts
Howdy all you lovely ladies! Wahoo for November, a great month for some love-makin! Feeling SUPER positive at the moment... serious good thoughts, prayers and fingers crossed for all of us.
Estimated O Date: After charting last month for the first time, my LP appears to be 15 days. I expect my cycle to be 27/28 days this month, so hopefully O will occur on 1st or 2nd November.
POAS/AF date: I'm hoping to remain strong right through to the end, so I'm guessing the 17th November.
Cycle: 4th times the charm
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/47029a
Trying new this cycle: not much, just trying to use the information gained from charting last month to get our BD days as close to O as possible
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): hmmm... November is generally a quiet month for us, we'll be booking flights home for our Christmas break, and generally trying to get in shape before the excess of Christmas!
blogger / persimmon / 1225 posts
Yay, let's fill a cornucopia of BFP's!!
Estimated O Date: Umm, FF seems to think I O'd on Day Ten, but I think Day 16- Day 18 based on five previous months of charting. Guess I'll have to wait it out!
POAS/AF date: Will update when I know more!
Cycle: 3
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/princessandthebee
Trying new this cycle: SMEP, EPO, and continuing with pre-seed around ovulation. Oh and I guess FF is new this month. I used to chart using paper and pen, but after joining HB was converted to Fertility Friend and one of the major pros to charting for me was to not spend money on OPK's.
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): Going home for Thanksgiving! Starting my novel!
baby dust to everyone!
blogger / persimmon / 1225 posts
@Cole: Are you talking about FF? You can add your name to your url link but honestly I can't remember how I did it! I searched around settings/accounts/sharing but there is definitely a way to do it!
cantaloupe / 6086 posts
yay for November!!
Estimated O Date: 10/29, CD16 - but could be up to CD20
POAS/AF date: AF isn't due until likely 11/15, but I'll probably start wondfo testing on 11/8 when I have an RE appt (way too early, but that's why they came in a pack of 50, right??)
Cycle: #2 for LO #2, last cycle was chemical #3
Chart: I just use OPKs and CM, temping makes me crazy
Trying new this cycle: this is our off cycle before doing clomid + trigger + IUI next time. so at least at the moment, I feel like it's just for the heck of it and if it doesn't work out, at least we have treatment plans to look forward to.
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): my works starts to slow down after Oct being crazy, and I love the start of the holiday season with Thanksgiving!

Hi all! Thanks @LittleK: for starting this thread, I have been awaiting it
Estimated O Date: Uhhh, I dunno! I'm currently on CD22 and have yet to get a +OPK. I totally fell out of temping (I really hate it for some reason) so I'm relying on the OPKs and surprised I haven't gotten one yet. Last month I O'd on CD20 so we've been BDing a bunch anyway! Will keep testing.
POAS/AF date: If my cycle length stays the same as it has been and I just didn't O for some reason, it's Nov 6. So please put me down for then and I will update if anything changes!
Cycle: #2 of seriously TTC!
Trying new this cycle: Picked up some Pre Seed yesterday. Also trying new: RELAXING. Having fun with BD and not obsessing over OPKs and whatnot. Realizing it may take a while and just trying to figure out cycles in the meantime!
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): Kicking off our first holiday season as newlyweds!! Hosting our families for Thanksgiving and using all that nice china for the first time

@NorCalWayfarer: sticky baby dust all around!!!
I was thinking when I posted my info that it's kind of weird being post-miscarriage(s) and POAS, because a BFP doesn't mean the same thing to you. however I would still be thrilled to see that first milestone!
cherry / 242 posts
Hooray!
Estimated O Date: Estimated Nov. 7
POAS/AF date: Nov. 21
Cycle: 5
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrskoloa
Trying new this cycle: TEMPING! I didn't start temping the very first day of the cycle... more like day 6, but that's ok because according to my last cycle I ovulate really late anyway, so I'll have enough temps to create a baseline, hopefully.
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): Thanksgiving BREAK!
cherry / 143 posts
Estimated O Date: OK, I'm estimating around Nov 5 - 7.
POAS/AF date: I'll say Nov 22.
Cycle: Cycle 5.
Trying new this cycle: Hmm. Relaxing? No... I'll try SMEP again, along with OPKs. (Not new. But perfected after trying it out last month, haha.)
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): I'm traveling to the US for a wedding and staying to celebrate Thanksgiving with some family. I'm so excited for this!
cherry / 245 posts
@bhbee: Its funny you say that, because I have been thinking about that! I really hope that the next time I have a BFP, that I can be excited, and not scared. I am afraid that I won't ever be able to relax and enjoy being pregnant. Miscarriage kind of shifts the way you see a bfp, that's for sure.

I'm so excited for November. We HAVE to do better this month.
Estimated O Date: November 8th or 9th
POAS/AF date: POAS November 20th or 21st (whichever is 12dpo)
Cycle: 5
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/Littlebit
Trying new this cycle: PreSeed
What are you looking forward to this month (not TTC related): We're going on a long weekend trip to Mexico this coming up weekend! Hoping we can get some serious R&R in! Haven't been on a real vacation in 2 years!

I'm sitting this month out, but I want to be a cheerleader. Good luck to everyone in November! I hope the holidays bring lots of BFPs!
