Hellobee Boards

I've been reading Hello Bee for years, just waiting until DH and I were in a position to ttc. Well, that time is finally here so I might as well jump in to the thread! I ovulated very late this cycle so what should have been a July test is now August. Best of luck to everyone here!

Cycle Day: 28
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: Ov - CD24 (7/28), POAS - 8/9, if I can wait that long. Probably 8/7
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: temping, preseed, lots of BD!
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in August? No major plans, but hoping to schedule a beach weekend with my girlfriends.

@jstalter: I'm going through the same thing. As soon as DH and I decided to try, I've become a crazy lady! I Said I wasnt going to POAS until the 11th, which is when AF is due, but I doubt I'll be able to wait that long.

This is our first time TTC, please make me feel better and tell me that lots of people get carried away and a touch obsessive about the process?

@MrsRoo: I've spent way too much money of testing! My DH would freak! I start testing quite early but it's exciting and I literally can't control myself. And being good and waiting isn't near as fun Good luck!!!

@MrsRoo: you're definitely not alone; but it does get expensive, it can drive you crazy, and testing early can cause you to get very excited and later find you had a chemical prengnancy (happened to me last month- 3 faint positives and AF still came- I couldn't believe it). If you can stand it.. I recommend waiting for a missed AF!

@TrailRunner: Good morning! Thank you for the message. I just checked out my calendar and technically I may be able to test the last day of Aug now! Don't count me totally out for this month quite yet!!

@jh524: yes, that's me too, I think. When I found out I was pregnant with my LO, I took 7(!) tests the first couple days because I liked seeing the line, haha. Im really trying not to go down that same path this time.

@jstalter: that's a good point, although it sucks that you had to go through that. Bummer about AF this month, too. Hope to see you get a bfp at the end of the month!

@TrailRunner: oooo, cheap tests? If it doesn't happen this month, I'll have to order some. Right now I have a couple of tests from the ER I work at, but I'd feel guilty using those every month!

@MrsDragon: I see a shadow for sure.

@MrsDragon: hold it and test again!!!

@TrailRunner: count me in!! Love that I found this board.

@MrsRoo: The first month trying (for both DD and #2) I thought it would happen right away and was really obsessive...but I've found each subsequent month, I'm more relaxed about it. This is month 3 for TTC #2 and am so fed up with squinting at sticks that I've stopped using opks and will just wait to see if AF arrives!

@MrsDragon: congrats! H&H 9 months to you!

@MrsChristmas: I'm just now ovulating instead of last week! Can you change my POAS day to 8/14?

@MrsDragon: Congratulations!!

@MrsDragon: congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

@MrsDragon: Yay, congratulations!!!

@csross217: ugh. That is the worst. My husband runs a restaurant so he has wonky hours. Sometimes I will make him wake up early before I have to work or I'll make him wake me up when he gets home. Not the most romantic haha.

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed for the rest of the August people!

@jh524: Me too! But not spotting, right? My period has been wonky the last couple months so I'm not sure about timing or what to expect.

I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip with family and I'll be home on the 13. So, I'm not going to test while I'm away and just see what happens and test when I get back if AF doesn't show up. Either way, I'll update, but most likely not until next week.

Good luck everyone!!!
