Hellobee Boards

@Snowdrop: Adorable! I'm a new knitter (been at it for about a year). I'd love that hat pattern if you're willing to share....I started by wanting to make blankets for all my preggo friends but they take too damn long . I've moved onto hats (see attached photo)!

Morning Bees! In the spirit of testing early and often, today is either 7/8 DPO, and BFN this morning!

@sandy: those are the cutest toys ever! I wish I could make one!

@dc yoga bee: still so early. fx!
@LindsayInNY: boo....sorry about AF. I hope the wine was tasty! I often wish I could just have wine and popcorn for dinner, like I did from time to time before LO
@Snowdrop: Woohoo!

So today is my listed test date. Since I got a BFN this morning, we're going to go with FF and say I'm only 11 DPO. But I have zero symptoms that can't be explained by something else (my weaning-releated hormone crash still has me feeling like death warmed over), so I'm likely out. I will keep testing and keeping my FX for all of you!

@dc yoga bee: still waaayyy early, but I applaud your dedication to the early and often plan!

@LindsayInNY: you should have wine FOR dinner!

Guys we said we were gonna test early and often, and I'm sticking to the plan!

@dc yoga bee: Still super duper early!!!

I tested this morning could be 8 or 10dpo. Not sure bec I didn't use OPK's this month and I've O'd at CD 16 or 18 in the past. Got a BFN. I felt like I was coming down with flu last night, sore throat and body which is what prompted me to test this am. So I'm holding out until Friday which will be either 10 or 12dpo.

UGH now I wish I had used opk's. I love not playing a guessing game.

Hi everyone:

I am new to this board. So excited to see everyone's results. My cycle has been so all over the place (from 28 days to 36 days) the last couple of months. Based on that I should be at 32 days on the 24th of January. Anyone else testing around that week?

Also, had a quick question. Three days ago after I think i was ovulating sex became painful-- not like excrutiating but uncomfortable. Like something was stuck way up there. (I apologize for TMI!!!!). Could that be my cervix becoming firm. I guess I never really noticed that before-- just wanted to see if anyone else had that experience?

Thanks all!! Good luck to everyone!!!!!

@septca: Good luck with your interiew today!!!

@Lady Hibiscus: Yes! This happened day of O, and after even with using pre seed lubicrant. This is the first time that has happened!

@dc yoga bee: you are so dedicated to testing early and often :). Fx it's a BFP for you this month!

I tested yesterday after a 3hr hold and it was a BFN. AF is expected tomorrow/Friday so I will hopefully know very soon whether I'm out this month or not. I'm holding out hope despite the BFN bc usually I'm spotting by now and so far nothing...and I'm making sure to wear non-red underwear

@septca: God luck with teh interview- keep us posted!

@dc yoga bee: I applaud your early and often dedication!

@Lady Hibiscus: It can feel a little slimy out of the tube, but it actually does feel pretty realistic once its applied. Good luck!

Tonight is the first night we are starting the SMEP plan! Wish us luck!

Secret: Yesterday I had a leadership training event in the morning, then I took the rest of the day to myself. I got a pedicure, got a ton of stuff done around the house, and made beouf bourguinon for dinner. Delicious! DH and my dinner conversation, however, made me realize that we really need a break. I am going to try to figure out a way to get a weekend away this spring, just the two of us.

Thank you all SO much for the interview well wishes. It went well and I am pretty sure I will get passed to the next round. Woo hoo!!!!

@Lady Hibiscus: welcome! I'm planning to test around 1/24. Good luck!
@Crystal: Good luck with SMEP!
@septca: Great news about your interview!

Hi, Ladies!
I need to catch up with everyone! But I'm pretty excited! My wondfos came yesterday and this morning I got an almost positive OPK- so I'm thinking later today it will be very much a positive (the one from the last was pretty light).

So here is my question. DH and I DTD yesterday (Yay!). But I'm wondering if we should do it again tonight or not. I know that every day sex can lower sperm count and we already have a low sperm count. Every day sex can also help mophology, which we have an issue with.

So what do you ladies think? DTD tonight? Or stick to every other day?

OH- and regarding early and often. When my tests came yesterday night- I took both an OPK and a HCG test. I mean...You've got to cover your bases, right?! LOL..Hehehe.

@HolisticMama: I would do it today. Chances of conceiving O-1 are better than O date.

ETA: I say this because if you get a positive tonight you may not ovulate until later tomorrow. I would get two days of positives with my O being on the second date.

@HolisticMama: personally i'm a believer in every day when you get close to O. I get it about low sperm count but (warning about disgusting imagery) If it is all going to go in you anyway does it mater if it goes in all at once or on two separate days? Plus if you don't do it for some reason or he can't finish one day it isn't a big deal because you will have done it the day before anyway...
