You guys all know the drill...

@littlek: Thanks for starting April!
Cycle #: 15
POAS/AF Date: AF is expected April 1, if I O'd when I think I did
Favorite thing about Spring? The start of warm(ish) weather!! This has been a really rough winter.
I'm ready to get AF...that will mean only 1 more cycle stands between me and the hsg!!

@doxielove: I hear you!!! AF should make her appearance late this week and then we start our medicated cycle. I'm so hopeful for our IUI.

Ladies - can I please join this thread? Month 6 starts tomorrow and since I already know I've got a bunch of fertility road blocks in my way, I feel more comfortable here. (Translation: Call it PMS or month 6 irritability, but I am less excited about the newb BFPs than I was a few months ago...). So, please? Will you have me?

@septca: Of course! Sorry you have to join us, but we are a fab group of women

@septca: You are SO welcome here, though I'm also sorry that you are here.
I'm sneaking in this month as a cheerleader! We are taking a TTC break now that we've hit over 12 months of trying, but I still want to stay connected with everyone.

@septca: I guess you can staaaaaay 
but just know that we all plan for April to be it for us, so you better be on board with that plan! April is baby-making time!! We're serious this time!!! No May boards allowed.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
Thanks, ladies!!!
I am 100% all about making my stay short and sweet. I will provide a full intro once AF shows, but suffice it to say I am sick of TTC (I had forgotten how rough it gets around months 5-6) and I want all of us to graduate from this thread, stat!
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@CupQuakeWalk: @septca: Yes.... positive affirmations.... I will get pregnant this month.. I will have a January baby.. I will get pregnant this month...
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
Oh and it appears our BFPs are doubling each month, so, this month we should have at least 4 BFPs.... or as we like to call them graduates from the the 6 month + group..

@littlek: I like where your head is at.
I'll also throw in some more positivity - January is an especially *awesome* month to have a baby...
* you're never too pregnant during the summer
* winter mat clothes are much cuter/easier to wear than summer styles
* your personal incubator makes you stay nice and warm during the winter
* you can eat whatever you want over the holidays
* you get to snuggle inside while it's cold and then enjoy time outside with LO once spring arrives
* every year, you have something special celebrate in the doldrums of January

@septca: I'm a big fan of January babies!
my reasonable test dates are all in April so I'll put myself on the list even though I'm testing 3/31 too . . .
Cycle #: since last summer
POAS/AF Date: will definitely POAS Apr 1 for 11dpo! I have a long LP so AF isn't due until the 6th-ish
Favorite thing about Spring? flowers, sunshine, playing outside with LO . . . unfortunately spring here in Boston starts around Memorial Day

Cycle #: 19
POAS/AF Date: No idea!
Favorite thing about Spring?: May will be our 2nd anniversary. I love spring in Virginia--it's just gorgeous.
I might not really POAS in April, but I'll be cheering people on either way. I just had a lap on Friday and they removed endometriosis. I'm going back in April to discuss the results and what we should do next. I think my RE wants to do another injectable+IUI cycle on a high dosage this time. I'll have a better idea at that time when I'll ovulate.

Currently waiting for AF to arrive but fairly certain she'll be here tomorrow so here goes...
Cycle #: 13 since December 2012 - let's hope this is lucky #13 and not an unlucky one...
POAS/AF Date # April 27 - just barely sneaking in this month!
Favorite thing about Spring? Getting to put away my winter coat! Longer, sunnier days, warmer weather...

Hi ladies! Hope it's okay I join this April POAS board too; I'm enjoying getting to "meet" more of you & hear your stories!
Cycle# 14
POAS/AF Date: Same for both, April 12. I'm currently telling myself I'm not going to test early during this 2ww (iui #2 will be this weekend)
Favorite thing about Spring? The pools opening. Here in the desert we really skipped winter and spring this year & it's been in the low 80's for weeks, which isn't as great as it seems!

Cycle #: Who knows anymore. I am so confused. I started in Jun 2012. So, 9?
POAS/AF Date # Apr 7.
Favorite thing about Spring? It always feels like a hopeful time of year.
I started temping for the first time this cycle, and I am getting a bit worried that I am CD17 without a positive OPK or temp spike. I am hoping I didn't miss it.
@septca: I am happy you are here, but sad you had to come. I love your Jan list!
@sarahnicole218: Big hugs.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
Cycle #: 11 (wtf?)
AF Date # April 10 (I don't POAS anymore)
Favorite thing about Spring? Easter, sunshine, a feeling of freshness and new beginnings. Cheers!

@Kelli_Deluxe: Welcome lady! I'm heading out to Palm Springs in a few weeks. Is that the desert area you live in?
@septca: Sorry you have to be here. But I hope you like it while youre here!

Cycle #: 13. We started April of last year so we are officially at the one year mark.
POAS/AF Date #: April 2 if I don't test beforehand!
Favorite thing about Spring? The weather is nice enough for me to wear skirts and dresses!

Cycle #: 12
POAS/AF Date # I am purposely not figuring this out. It just stresses me out. I ovulated Thursday and my LP is 11-12 days usually. We only hit O-4 and O-2, and I have been super stressed, so really trying not to get my hopes up. I am so tired of disappointment.
Favorite thing about Spring? Longer days, and I can start running again.
I ran into someone who got pregnant shortly after we started TTC, miscarried, and I just found out she is 21 weeks pregnant and was going on about her ultrasound. It killed me.

I'll join this time... I didn't really join before because I felt I was jinxing myself but now I think it's time to call in the support.
Cycle #: 9th
POAS/AF Date # : April 7th (Have wonky cycles so this is a shot in the dark ... I'm anywhere between 31-40 days)
Favorite thing about Spring? Easter candy!
Good luck everyone!! Hopefully we all get our BFPs soon.

I can't do my intro yet because I don't know my dates, but I will give another kind of intro:
April 6th of last year I had my MC. I was 9 weeks along. It was a surprise pregnancy. But, as soon as my cycle returned post MC (took about 1.5m) , DH & I decided to go ahead and NTNP. I say ntnp because we did not use opks, didn't keep track of what day I was on, didn't schedule any sex and def didn't pee on any hpts. By the time July rolled around, I realized something was very wrong. This is the first cycle (March) I've O'd since the MC.
So, it's been 10m ttc (& ntnp) as of April 6th:(
We do have a 17.5m old son who is the center of our world!!

@Crystal: Oh how awesome!! Palm Springs is our closest "real" city that people know haha. We live near the Marine base!
@MrsMcD: You're going to have a great time out here! Be prepared to melt a little haha
@AmeliaBedilia: Ugh that's so hard 
My good friend out here found out she was 12wks when I got my first bfp.... Our conversations are def interesting between me talking about which supplements I should add & her talking about her pregnancy issues. But our time is coming!!

pomelo / 5000 posts
@MrsMcD: hi back!
@CupQuakeWalk: awh, poor bubbers! Did he eventually warm up to the bathing suit?
@sandy: cherry blossoms are gorgeous! I always plan on getting to D.C to see them, but never make it.
