I have been WAITING for this thread to start and have been dying to re-join a POAS thread since September!
Finally!!!
Estimated O Date: I have an FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) coming up on (or close to) Jan 8th!
POAS/AF date: I don't think I have to trigger before the transfer, so I think that means I can test as soon as 4 days after! So I'm tentatively going to say Jan 12th!
Cycle #: 15 (though I've had 2 missed miscarriages in 2013, so there were a few months that we didn't try since I was either KU, my body/mind/heart was healing, we were waiting for various test results, waiting for IVF, etc)
Trying new this cycle: IVF w/PGD! We had a retrieval on Dec 7th, got results back on the 18th and are now prepping for transfer in the first week or so of January.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? To try and relax. Let this journey take us wherever it takes us! And to hire a trainer again. I worked with a trainer for 1.5 years before my first BFP (and I was ripped) and its been downhill every since. I'd like to start working with someone again (because I certainly don't have the knowledge or discipline to do it myself).

Thanks everyone for your cheerleading! Here is my info:
Estimated O Date: Unsure, had an anovulatory cycle last month so I am doing another round of Clomid 50mg this time around.
POAS/AF date: TBD
Cycle #: 2
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/MrsPanda
Trying new this cycle: Taking it a little easier. Not going so crazy with supplements and saying yes to exercising/eating well.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? To get into a healthful state of mind and body for future baby!

@SweetiePie: Haha sorry I didn't know when to go ahead and pull the trigger! So excited for you to get your transfer though! Good luck and fingers crossed!

I'm going to join, but I probably won't be incredibly active on the thread. Of course, I'll check in, but being too active makes me stressed out about seeing a BFN. Selfish, I know, but please know I'm hoping the best for everyone!
Estimated O Date: Unsure... Sometime in the past week.
POAS/AF date: Jan 11 - maybe the 10th as I'll be traveling on the 11th.
Cycle #: 5
Chart link: I don't chart 
Trying new this cycle: Unintentionally cutting out caffeine... We're with family for the holidays and neither set of parents keep caffeinated drinks in the house.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Clean more, exercise more, read more

Hi all and good luck (sorry, that's as much positivity as I can muster at the moment :/)
Estimated O Date: the 18th
POAS/AF date: I probably won't be....AF seems to be arriving about 3DPO right now, so no testing needed 
Cycle #: 5 for #2
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/381bac
Trying new this cycle: Might be trying some B6 and/or vitex to lengthen my luteal phase. Also I'll be checking in with my Dr. this month to see if there's anything else I can do while still BFing.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Do more with my son. Enjoy him every day, even if we're just stuck in the house. Make sure my husband knows how much I love and appreciate him every day. Travel more. Worry less.

@Mrs.Panda: thank you for starting this!
Estimated O Date: not sure...
POAS/AF date: not sure...
Cycle #: 7 trying. We had to skip actual cycle 7, so this puts us at month 8.
Chart link: n/a
Trying new this cycle: wondfos and sex every day during the
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Get healthy! I need to get in shape and lose at least 50lbs. My ultimate goal this year is to be a mom though!
Question: I
went through a mc at the end of November. If my cycles stay in track from what they were, then I should start my next cycle Dec 31. However, I just had some EWCM a few days ago, which would make my next cycle start a week or two late.
If you went through a m/c, how long before your cycles went back to their regular length?

Thanks @mrs.panda: for starting this!
Estimated O Date: depends on how well b6 works on lengthening the end of this cycle.
POAS/AF date: tbd put hopefully the end of the month.
Cycle #: 6
Trying new this cycle: b6 and hopefully vitex before O, same as @keppa: !
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Hmm I think I need to try nt to get down about all the baby announcements in my life. Remind myself that what happens o other people is no reflection on what will happen to me... Don't know how well that will go!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
O: tomorrow or Tuesday, so 12/30 or 12/31.
POAS date: 1/10 or 1/11. I am an early tester.
Cycle: #1 of trying for #2
Trying new this cycle: Well, actually trying. I had an HSG on CD7 so hopefully that will be the ticket.
Resolutions: Not many, but I want to spend my time this winter cooking, making yoga a priority, and getting lots of quality time with DD and DH.
Good luck everyone!

@Septca: how did your HSG go? Were your tubes open or were they blocked before the hsg opened them?
nectarine / 2148 posts
Hi everyone! I am glad to be active on this board again after having a miscarriage in July.
Estimated O Date: January 1st
POAS Date: January 15
Cycle: #1 since our miscarriage
Trying new this cycle: only thing new is just trying again. I got a BFP on my first try last time so I won't do anything different
New Years Resolution: just staying healthy across the board. Healthy me, Healthy Family, Healthy Pregnancy, and Healthy Baby (hopefully). Hope to see a lot of BFP this month!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
@fotolori1: my first HSG ( before I got KU with DD) showed that both tubes were blocked, but my doctor was able to clear the right side. I got KU the next month. This time, both tubes are OPEN (?!?!), but there are scars/adhesions between my left ovary and tube, so a pregnancy from that side is still extremely unlikely.

Hey ladies! I had a missed miscarriage in October and am still waiting for my first visit from AF - I thought she was coming yesterday, but it just seems to be spotting so far. My cycles pre-MC were about 35 days, so I probably won't get to POAS in January...but I'll be cheering you on! New year, new babies!
pomegranate / 3658 posts
Estimated O Date: 1/9
POAS/AF date: 1/21
Cycle #: 3
Chart link:
Trying new this cycle: temping. I've had really hot temps the last couple days which is confusing.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? Finish some of these shows+ movies we've had sitting around half-watched forever! Maybe read more books for fun too.
