    @snowjewelz: I've been waiting for FF to confirm my ovulation. I'm now 5DPO too! I the TWW. Full of hope and promise. Lol! Due date: early December, right at DH's birthday! It's good luck.

    @LIL BEAN: Someone told me FF won't confirm O till you past 3 consistent temp rise or something so that's why it took a while! Now there are 3 of us on the exact same DPO! How did you get your due date? I plugged in the start date of last AF (2/21) and got 11/28 as a due date! Oh man, I hope I get KU this month and not next!

    @dc yoga bee: It's illegal in most states I've tried to find it in NOVA, and haven't had much luck, although I haven't tried THAT hard.

    @snowjewelz: FF gave me that due date (Dec 7) based on ovulating on Sunday (though I think I really ovulated on Monday). My cycles are 32 days usually, so I don't use the calculators that use AF bc they base it on a 28-day cycle. Try one where u enter your ovulation date instead:

    @LIL BEAN: Ohh ok. thanks! Now I see the Dec 7/8 date. I like your link that you can enter your cycle days, since mine is so long this month!

    Ahh, it's crazy to think that if we get our BFPs, we can be announcing it in June!

    @MrsMccarthy: Ooh, Fertility Yoga? Do you have a link, or is this from a book? I'm super inexperienced with yoga, but I'm interested!

    @LIL BEAN: My bday is Dec. 6th! It's a great time for a birthday. I hope this is it for you!

    I use this due date calculator way too much. It lets you choose to calculate based on AF or O: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/due-date-calculator.php

    @dc yoga bee: yeah, pretty crazy I mean, theoretically you could own your own cow, of course, and drink the milk, but it's illegal to sell it.

    @MrsMccarthy: Impressive list!!

    @ABCmrs: Ha, I use that calculator waaaaay too much. Ugh.

    @ABCmrs: Oo I like this one too! Ah stop making me dream about my pregnancy that doesn't exist!

  13. HeartAbandoned

    clementine / 933 posts

    @snowjewelz: I do the same thing. It's pretty much the first thing I do after AF shows....straight to the due date calculator to plan my future maternity wardrobe, how we'd tell our families, what our FB announcement would be like, gender reveal, and all of future LO's birthday parties...

    @ABCmrs: Seriously. I'm already thinking okay, winter birthdays have limited choices in terms of activities! And then I think, Oo, I can get stuff that says baby's first Christmas! Def cray-cray here...

    @ABCmrs: Cool calculator! If we are successfully this cycle we would announce on my birthday in June!

  16. HeartAbandoned

    clementine / 933 posts

    @snowjewelz: As a December birthday, I mostly parties at home (which was normal when & where I grew up!). Now, I dream of winter parties at indoor trampoline parks, bounce houses, laser tag places, bowling...I think especially as they get older, there are still lots of indoor options!

    You say crazy...I think on this thread, you qualify as normal

    @HolisticMama: yes my first! And poor hubby I will add him to the list!

    @ABCmrs: I have two DVDs I bought when I was about to try for my son. I highly recommend Brenda Strong's Yoga for Fertility. I'll bet you can find YouTube clips online too.

    @ABCmrs: wishing you a birthday BFP!

    Wow! There's so many things you girls are trying to enhance fertility! I need to get on the band wagon! All I'm doing is cutting out caffeine. I never drink alcohol, so that's no problem. And taking prenatals.

    @snowjewelz: haha! I almost shared that site earlier. Problem is... I'm always tired, bloated, and my breasts hurt with PMS anyway! Lol! (Ok- not always bloated. But the other stuff is true)

    I'm in!
    CD 3
    Cycle 2
    Baby 2
    Eto date: usually textbook cd 13-15, so est. April 2?
    Poas date: I've gotten all my +'s by 10 DPO...so I'll POAS by April 15. At the verrryyyy latest.

    This is only my 2nd postpartum cycle (L is 14 mo.) and my son is still waking 2-3 times a night, so no charting yet. I had cm like whoa last month but we didn't bd as much as we should have. So this month is about getting back into the opk rhythm and bd'ing more, accordingly. I also need to try to not get as obsessed with ttc this early. It took us almost 2 yrs and IUI to conceive L (unexplained infertility) so I'm not expecting much at this point. I need 6 months of trying under my belt before the RE will take us back.

    Sorry this is so long. Good luck ladies!

    CD 10 here. I think it's the most exciting day of the month. BD with a purpose and I'm always so positive!

    DH is on call every day of the next week except Wednesday when he is going to be in surgery super late. He's going to be exhausted. So going to really have to force the BD. So romantic.

    @dagret: good luck!!!

    @winniebee: bd with a purpose! DH says he wants romantic bd, and not i"t's time" today. I bought a bunch of new lingerie, so time to bust it out!

    I going to be a big cheerleader this month! I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will have a nice short (28 day) this time so I can get back at it sooner. In the mean time, you ladies need to get some BFPs!

    hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts

    Hi ladies, I was so happy to get that positive opk but that was on Thursday and I still haven't had a temp shift. Could today be O day then? If my temp doesn't go up tomorrow I'm going to be annoyed!

    @anyajenkins: I have no idea, but you're covering all your basis!

    @Kbee: Maternity wardrobe shopping freaks me out a little bit. I would definitely need a shopping date with @septca to make sense of it all!!

    I really want a pair of white maternity jeans if I am pregnant this summer. If I don't buy them they will be out of my size, no doubt but if I do buy them I will be jinxing myself and won't be pregnant until September.

    @dagret: welcome back! I hope you are one of the lucky ones who has a shorter second journey. Is your LO at least weaned? My issue so far has been nursing it seems.

    @winniebee: hahah I knew what you mean. It's really sad how excited I start out and how uninterested I am when I'm not in the window. Working on it.

    I'm having a small latte even though I planned to cut out coffee because night weaning really took it out of me. I feel good about it though as doing the trick for us and I plan to abstain from coffee after this.

    I really hope we all get our Holiday babies! My EDD if I get KU this month is December 29th.
