Hellobee Boards

Could be a little darker, but is this possibly a positive opk? I got a darkish one last night around 7pm and this is from first thing this morning (all after 8 days of super faint lines).

CD5 today - no symptoms to spot... but I am excited that I've got an acupuncture appointment this afternoon! I've been going weekly for the last month (it's been a huge help!) but had to skip last week because my practitioner took the week off. Looking forward to a little relaxation and mediation!

Anyone else doing acupuncture?

I'm so excited to finally be able to join one of these threads!
Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: Still adjusting to not having an IUD (this is my second cycle post removal). Last cycle I ovulated on CD 23 with an 11 day LP which would make my O date 1/21 and POAS date around 1/31. I have PCOS with long cycles, so I was thrilled this past cycle to ovulate and only have a 35 day cycle! Hoping this trend continues
Baby #: 2. DS is 21 months
Your plan this month: Trying to be relaxed and just BD as much as possible. I'll probably use OPKs too.

And just for fun… what is your New Year's resolution for 2015? Try to have more patience and enjoy and appreciate the little things!

@shellio: I did acupuncture with my first too and it was a huge help I think! My cycles were all crazy and as soon as I started going, things went a little more back to normal.

My session yesterday was great - super relaxing!

I think I am going to change my POAS day. Sunday 1/4 will only be 10 DPO (CD28)... I think I want to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday for CD 30 or 31 (12 or 13 DPO) since my cycles are usually longer and I O'd on CD 18. We will see if I can hold out that long!

I'll be a cheerleader this month. I'm on CD 36. Still no AF still a BFN. Even I'd I started tomorrow I couldn't test till the 31st anyway so... LET'S START THE NE YEAR WITH A BUNCH OF BFPS. GOOD LUCK LADIES

Even though I'm pretty sure I didn't o til CD 19 last time, based on the opks this cycle, I was really expecting to see that temp jump this morning on CD19. It's been a steady upward temp trend the last three days (just reached 97.1 this am). I really hope I see the jump tomorrow. I'm a little concerned after reading far too much on the internet that maybe I'm having anovulatory cycles, or at a minimum LPs that are to short. Bah.

@jodyblair: I got my IUD out in August - so hard to adjust to monthly cycles again! I had a solid few years which were blissfully period-free

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs come January!

@Chaosmaven: if you want to lengthen your LP, then I think that the B Complex would help with that. I was doing B12, B6 and Vitamin C (among some other things prior) and that seemed to help. The B Complex is all in one pill (from what I can tell).

Hi ladies! This is my first time joining a Poas board- I've lurked many times before but could really use some online friends' input and advice this time around! I had a miscarriage two cycles ago, so this is our first one trying again, and I'm driving myself (and my husband) crazy with how anxious/excited/confused I am about my weird cycle and fertility signs, haha. I am just so ready to get pregnant again and move past our loss, it's just about all I can think about. So thanks in advance for letting me join this TTC journey with you!

Cycle Day: 18
TTC Cycle #: 1 post miscarriage, 3 total
Ovulation and POAS dates: dec 26 or 29?? Not sure. And Poas as early as jan 5th, but not super confident in that O date so that might change
Baby #: 2, we have an almost 3 year old DD
Your plan this month: chart, enjoy lots of holiday bd-ing, and pray

@CObee: I have never followed CM so can't speak to that but temp-wise, it definitely looks like the 26th to me! Hopefully today was an implantation dip!!

@Chaosmaven: I'll hopefully be jumping in on this thread... waiting on AF and then FET cycle, all going well! To be determined....

@jodyblair: I have only used the "advanced" setting and that has only automatically note o when I've entered temps. It doesn't mark it until it notes three (I think) days of raised temps.

I believe if you change the I detection settings it will use other data to note o. Go to "More", "Settings", and "Detection/override". I don't know the specifics of using the other settings though.

@jodyblair: I use fertility friend and I don't temp. I use it and put in my positive opks and it still estimates when I ovulate. I also use it to track BD timing. Going to start temping this month though.

@hilsy85: that could def mean an implantation dip! Fingers crossed for you. I'm totally the same way with the Internet cheapies- love peeing on sticks but then I go crazy analyzing every shadow and mark.

Well, that was short lived. Looks like I'm back. I'M not sure if my DR is going to tell us to wait a cycle or not, but I'm hoping not since it was so early. I also have no clue if my cycle will be messed up this month or not, going to start temping so I can track O for sure. CD2 today, normally O between CD10-12 so I'll add myself to the POAS date once I hopefully ovulate. I'm thinking Jan 25 will be my POAS day.

@hilsy85: yea im thinking I won't have to wait either, but I'll see. I just hope my cycle isn't too messed up. Yea, it's so hard to NOT obsess though. The TWW just seems to drag! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@jodyblair: I don't temp and still use Fertility Friend. It has helped me time our BDing better. This past month has been our best yet, even while visiting family over the holidays.

@hilsy85: I'm at 8 dpo too and thinking about POAS tomorrow too for the same reason. This TWW is dragging.

Got my temp rise today, but obsessing over the little things that could've influenced it: went to bed late, had a couple glasses of champs last night, but def held back to try and lessen impact on my temps, was about 40 min late taking my temp this am. The spike was .7 degrees though, which is a lot. Alcohol and late temp haven't been spiking me more than a degree or two. Waaaah!!! So many variables!!! Should've skipped the drinks and ball drop last night!!

Best wishes to you all! I hope the new year brings you all BFPs

Happy New Years everyone!
