@pui: Yay!! I'm so glad that your cycle from hell has ended!!
-
@LindsayInNY: frustrating!! I don't temp so I wouldn't even have a clue if that happened to me. Maybe your temps were off due to vacay, FX
@thismustbetheplace: woo!!!
-
@runnerd: That's what I was thinking... Vacation was the very end of AF and week following. It was mid-80s all week with no AC, just a fan. I figured it would be a little off from that. Usually the temps are a bit more reliable than OPKs (depending on the length of surge) but I don't know in this case...
-
@pui: I'm glad your cycle ended! I hope this is your month!
-
Cycles Trying: This will be Cycle 5
Current Cycle Day: CD 1
Estimated Ovulation Date: I'm guessing August 12, CD 15
POAS Date: August 27, the weekend before school starts- eep

Link to your chart (if you have one and want to share)And bonus question: What’s your favorite midnight snack? Cheese and crackers for a salty snack and ice cream for a sweet snack!

Good Luck Everyone!
Cycles Trying: This is going on Cycle 6
Current CD: 12
Estimated Date of Ovulation: August 5th
POAS Date: August 17th or August 18th
BD Timing: EOD/ED during ovulation
Anything New: Too busy this month to worry about it as much.
Although the soft cup sounds scary/interestingFavorite Midnight Snack: Trail Mix or String Cheese. Although ,I have been known to down a whole avocado on my own at midnight.
-
Cycles Trying: 3rd actively trying
Current Cycle Day: 11
Estimated Ovulation Date: I haven't O'd properly the past 6 cycles, so who knows. This is my first cycle on Clomid, so hopefully it works it's magic and I O this week on CD14
POAS Date: August 15th, although my last few cycles have been shorter than usual, so AF might arrive before then
BD Timing: As close to every day as we can manage
Anything new or extra this cycle? First cycle on Clomid (50mg) and FertilAidCM, as well as B-Complex to see if that helps lengthen my cycle, since the last two were only 25 days. I'm also doing strip OPKs twice a day (and digitals in the afternoon) and not using the CBEF monitor this month, since it hasn't worked properly the past 3 cycles I've used it. Continuing to take FertilAid for women, Folic Acid, Fish Oil, using pre-seed, and BD'ing a ton. Also on my second month of acupuncture.

I have been lurking for a few months and thought it was time to join. So hello everyone!
Cycles Trying: 2nd
Current Cycle Day: CD7
Estimated Ovulation Date: should be around Aug 6-9 ish
POAS Date: AF is due Aug 22nd but I will probably test on August 19th (which should be about 10-11 dpo). That is our 2nd anniversary and I can't think of a better present than a BFP!
BD Timing: EOD/ED during O
Anything new or extra this cycle? I started temping really just to see what it is my body is doing. I've learned so much about myself since starting ttc. It's pretty cool.And bonus question: What’s your favourite midnight snack?
popcorn with hot sauce! -
Cycles Trying: First sort of.
Current Cycle Day: CD 27
Estimated Ovulation Date: No Idea. App says CD 14 another says CD 16.
POAS Date: August 3rd probably.
BD Timing: July 21th- SLIP UP! We weren't trying. Just had one too many.
Anything new or extra this cycle?
Planning on trying in November. Just had a slip up this month. Also quit BD this month so it's a big mystery. I hope to know within the end of the week... -
love seeing all the new poas-ers for my first real month on one of these threads! here's to hoping for lots of bfps this month!
-
I'm another first-timer on this board!
Cycles Trying: 1st
Current Cycle Day: CD17
Estimated Ovulation Date: I haven't charted this month, but I'm assuming around July 25/26
POAS Date: August 9th
BD Timing: Every other day around my potential o-date, although I was out of town for a few days without DH, so hopefully I caught the right days!What’s your favourite midnight snack? Nib licorice!
-
I'm not officially adding myself yet, still holding out for either AF or a BFP. AF is due Wednesday (the 31st). So I'll have to wait until then to join here! But I am reading and staying caught up
-
Cycles Trying: This is the 2nd, although the 1st was fairly (umm.. obviously) a bust.
Current Cycle Day: 13
Estimated Ovulation Date: No clue! (Say in high, concerned voice.) I used OPKs last month and had two positives on CD9 and CD10. But I haven't gotten a positive this month!
ETA: Cheers to peeing on OPK sticks in your office bathroom! I just finally got a positive. Whew.
POAS Date: August 12, per Fertility Friend.
BD Timing: Every day this weekend thanks to some "brown chicken brown cow" encouragement from my Hello Bee friends. But otherwise no consistent BDing. I told DH that if I'm not pregnant by October as a result of our lax BDing, he will be a BDing slave.
Anything new or extra this cycle? No, just OPKs two-three times a day as of yesterday morning.
Link to your chart: No chart. I tried to used a BBT but quit after two days. My heart starts racing the minute my alarm goes off. I don't even know how I could get a resting temperature. I'd have to have a half a bottle of wine before bed to get anything close.
What’s your favourite midnight snack? Mini drumsticks.
-
@mrsmcd: we're poas date twins! (too weird?) fingers crossed for you.
-
@mfa_lady: Haha. Not weird at all. Its totally cool to be gross twins with someone!
My fingers are cross for both of us!
-
Cycles Trying: I'll say 5 - but this is only my second cycle charting.
Current Cycle Day: 7
Estimated Ovulation Date: Aug 6
POAS Date: August 17 or 18?
BD Timing: EOD
Anything new or extra this cycle? Adding twice as much vitex per OB.

Cereal with coconut milk. Yum! -
FX to everyone - and thanks for linking to your charts. I'm a closet stalker of charts (mental image for you: me, in the closet, stalking charts on three different monitors. I'm not creepy, I promise!), so this thread is really making my day!

-
@MrsKoala: @Dandelion: Thanks haha! I started Clomid this cycle, so here's hoping I beat the odds and get KU on my first dose.
-
@pui: oh gosh, seeing that POAS date is like seeing a standardized test date.
what if i bomb!? lol...@BOOPERS that's a lot of BD, i like it.
and your husband sounds like mine..."relax". Right...........
-
@SupernovaJ: haha, right! One day he tells me to relax and then when I told him about my period this morning he half jokingly says "when are we going to get pregnant homegirl?!"
Um, you can't tell me to relax then ask me that kind of question! Men! *rolls eyes*This cycle would be pretty ideal for us to get pregnant though. I would be due in May so I'd only miss the last month of the school year then have the whole summer off with the baby. If we don't get pregnant before November I think we'll take November and December off so I'm not due at the beginning of the school year. Got to love planning around a teacher's schedule
-
I'll be hanging out even though I won't POAS until Sept. We've been on the sidelines this month (doctor's orders). Looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs in the meantime!
Cycles trying: 4
Estimated O date: late August
Favorite midnight snack: Cookies -
@Boopers: My DH was a teacher for years and I always planned everything around his teaching schedule - baby making included!
-
@pui: Thanks for making the list! I'm really hoping that August brings as much
as July brought for the Hello Bee girls!!!
-
Good luck ladies!!!!
-
good luck everyone!! I've been stalking the last few pages of the July thread, and hope this month is even better!! hoping I'll be able to keep up as a cheerleader! ::searches for pom poms::
ETA: fave midnight snack... peanut butter toast! nom nom
-
@Pui: this thread is looking cute! You can count me as part of the cheerleading crew. Go August POASers!
-
@pui: awesome list! thanks, lady!!
-
@pui: How many mg of clomid are you taking?
-
@Dandelion: 50mg. Tomorrow is my last pill!
-
@pui: So excited for you! I got DS on 150 mg. Will they up it if it doesn't take this cycle? Mine was upped by 50mg increments until it worked (third cycle!)
-
@T.H.O.U.: yes hopefully it does! I've done a lot of reading on it and it sounds pretty legit so I've got my hopes up! Who knew there was so much freaking work involved in getting pregnant! Too much thinking! Lol
@cookie_dough: welcome!! Love your username btw...makes me hungry!
It looks like you and I are almost cycle twins this month!! We will probably end up POAS on the same day because I have no patience or willpower whatsoever! -
@Pui One of my BFFs got her
on her first cycle on Clomid. FX that's your story, too!
-
@Dandelion: I'm supposed to see if I O first.
-
