Hellobee Boards

Time to join in, I suppose

Estimated O Date: No clue. First cycle off BC after 13 years on. Currently CD 10.
POAS/AF date: Planning to start testing 10-14 DPO or on CD 28 if I can't pinpoint O date.
Cycle #: 1
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/drjolene
Trying new this cycle: Everything!
What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Nada planned so far. Kind of hoping hubby will suggest something soon. Favorite candy is the Dove dark chocolate pieces.

Okay, I am cautiously joining. Pretty sure this cycle will be a bust because I will O on my "bad" side, but I am trying to think positively, so join I will!

Estimated O Date: I am going to guess Tuesday, 02/04 or Wednesday, 02/05 (my cycles have been wacky since coming off BCP).

POAS/AF date: I will start testing (early and often!!) about 9 DPO, so you can list me for Valentine's Day (why not, right?).

Cycle #: Cycle 3 TTC#2

Trying new this cycle: BD EOD starting at CD15 (today!), dramatically reduced BFing (hoping that helps), had an HSG last cycle so things should be nice and clean and slippery.

What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? Ha ha. Probably sitting on my couch, drinking champagne, and binge-watching "House of Cards." I am *in love* with the Lindt milk chocolate truffle balls, but only the ones you actually buy in Switzerland, which are *way* better than the ones you can buy in the U.S.

I'm really blah today, Bees. At work I have a student who has been violating our safety and security code of conduct and has been making me feel a bit uncomfortable, but none of the executive leadership team seems to care. At least I put them on notice so if something does happen- I won't be liable. It's starting to snow pretty heavily- and since we already established that they don't care about the safety of their staff and students...we probably won't get to leave early. -_-

On the home front? BFN with FMU. No signs of AF. No cramping. No spotting. I'm just SO tired. And feel hormonal and emotional.

Going to a friend's father's funeral tomorrow that is out of town, so I hope the roads are okay. I bought her some sleepytime herbal spray, relaxation tea, homeopathics for emotions, an essential oil blend, and rescue remedy. I also got her a hanky that I am going to write on with a fabric pen and soak it a bit with the essential oils.

Gosh. I'm a real downer today. I'm sorry, ladies.

We're quiet here today.

@Radish: Yay! I have been temping but have no idea when I will O I have been checking CM, I think after days of dryness, there seems to be some action in the CM department! I can't seem to analyze anything right though, I might have to try to DTD every 3 days or something!

@HolisticMama: I have endometriosis. When we tried to conceive DD, both tubes were blocked for a year +, then I had surgery and got one cleared. My HSG last month showed that both tubes are open, but there is scar tissue between my left tube and ovary so it's unclear whether I can conceive on that side.

@HolisticMama: I believe so, and this is even before I got off BCP.

I am just one cycle in charting, I'm not even at TWW and I'm already SO frustrated! Every step can be so challenging in their own ways.

@septca: Fingers crossed that you find out you are able to conceive even when ovulating from that side!

@HolisticMama: I'm sorry you're having a rough day =( Hope the roads clear up and your mood lifts soon.

I'm bad and have been testing already...9DPO today and so far it's a BFN. I know 9 days is still early-ish though, 10 days seems to be a more popular day for the early BFPs to start popping up. Although I can feel my optimism about this cycle fading...

@Radish: woooo! Yea if I had my way I'd start testing sooner but I have had the greatest luck of testing and getting my period the next day... dh won't let me test until after AF is due

@wonderstruck: I tested today (8 DPO)...dumb dumb dumb. The stark white was so bright my eyes hurt-:-/. Definitely need to wait until at least Sunday/ Monday to test again, and hope AF doesn't show up before then....or at all!!!

@wonderstruck: @ChiCalGoBee: I tested yesterday at 8dpo in the afternoon with no hold. Obviously, a BFN Right there with ya, ladies!! I am too impatient for this.

@Lady Hibiscus: awe thanks! It was stupid....I should have waited until at least tomorrow. Now I'm putting myself on a NO POAS "diet" until Sunday or Monday. Hoping temps stay UP and AF stays away (for like 10 months ha ha!)

How is everything going with your OPks?:-/

@HolisticMama: thanks for keeping me hopeful!! Sorry you've had a rough one-sending love and light your way.

@Crystal: here here! I will be having a burger, fries and a shake tonight, so at least I'm only restricting my "diet" to P sticks:-). Indulging in food and a manicure to keep my spirits up!

@ChiCalGoBee: I love your anti AF vibes!

@wonderstruck: Congratulations!

@wonderstruck: Congrats!! I definitely see those lines!

@Torchwood: @ChiCalGoBee: @MrsScallop: @Radish: Thank you!! I'll take another in the morning just to see if get darker, but I've looked at enough negative tests these past few months to know a BFP when I see it! I'm so so excited =)!!!

@wonderstruck: Congrats!!! That's a freaking line!!
