OK, I'll start it since I think there are plenty of us rolling over to August. But I have a VERY busy toddler and probably not enough time to maintain it as well as my predecessor so can we just all help to update it? Whenever you see fit, copy, paste and update!
Let's make some April babies!!

I was feeling too down and demoralized about reaching cycle #6 in July to participate in the main POAS board and stuck to the 6+ mos one. Feeling better this cycle, and going to keep my toes in both threads.
Cycle Day: 7
TTC Cycle # 7:
POAS date: 8/10ish. Subject to change based on exact O date, and I will likely start POASing in advance of my official day. I always mean to hold out, never make it.
Baby # 1
Your plan this month: Vacation with sweetie over fertile week! Also trying out Conceive+Plus (had been using preseed). I'm keeping up everything I have already been doing: B-50 complex, vitex supplement, omega 3-6-9 supplement, prenatal, CBE advanced OPKs, acupuncture.

Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Going on vacation to Wyoming! So ready for a vacation.
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@lilyofthewest: Sounds like a perfect month to get a BFP!! I have always wanted to go to Wyoming. Where do you live?

Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: CBE Advanced OPK, and tried to take a more laid back approach (trying not to symptom spot too much!)
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Vacations in August & September!!
I couldn't join the July POAS board since my cycles have been a little long. I'm due to POAS August 1 so depending on how that goes I may get to POAS twice this month. I'm excited to officially join you ladies this month. Good luck to everyone!

@lilyofthewest: oooh a fertile window vacation sounds amazing. why can't we all do that every month welcome back to the POAS boards, this is your month! i'll put in your POAS date as the 8th when i update the dates and just keep us posted if you test earlier!

@travellingbee: Just outside DC. I've never been so far west before. I'm really excited about the trip, but, a little afraid of falling in love with it. I am really, really not a city person and sometimes it kills me to come back from places that are less crowded and full.
pear / 1955 posts
Yay! Good luck ladies!!
Cycle Day: 16
TTC Cycle #: 3
POAS date: 8/20
Baby #: 1!
Your plan this month: Getting it on!
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: We're redoing our kitchen! New counters go in today... I'm so excited!
@lilyofthewest: If I'm out this month, I'm thinking about trying preseed or conceive plus next time - what's your opinion on them? Is there a noticeable difference?
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@lilyofthewest: ugh I am the same exact way. I live in Houston which is much too big of a city for me. I grew up in a very rural area of New York and thought that I wanted to be in a city. Nope.
clementine / 957 posts
@lilyofthewest: Wyoming sounds amazing! Definitely somewhere I'd love to visit! I'm just outside of Baltimore and I'm like you as well, not much of a city person. We go on vacation every year to the eastern shore of VA. Where we stay the beach is quiet and beautiful and there is no one in sight! We love it!

@raspberries: We just redid our kitchen late last year and it was so exciting! Hope your kitchen is done soon!!

Baby # 2
Your plan this month: Trying to figure out what the heck is going on with my body. I am finishing an anovulatory cycle (2nd in 6 months)– took a drug to induce my period last week so I’m waiting for AF. I have a RE apt on Aug 7.
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: We’re going to Mexico the last week in August!
pear / 1955 posts
@HappyBluebird: Oh fun - did it turn out the way you expected? I'm so nervous about these counters - we picked them based on a little square sample, and I've been doubting myself ever since!
clementine / 912 posts
I'm a total lurker, but finally able to join a board.
Cycle Day: CD1
TTC Cycle #: 1 (NTNP for a little while, but this is the first since LO fully weaned)

Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: traveling to Maine on Saturday to visit my family
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@sheskrafty: oh hi!(waves) When did you get your cycle back postpartum? I can't remember if you BF or not… my cycle has been a bit wacky since weaning. I hope you get answers soon and we can be April mommas!

LOL *love* the board title!!
Cycle Day: 7
TTC Cycle #:7 - whoa lots of 7's, hope thats good luck!
POAS date: 8/11
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: I start a new job 8/4 so since the timing of getting KU wouldn't be that great, I am not going to be putting in a lot of effort. I will be bd'ing as much as possible, but besides that I will just be enjoying the rest of summer and trying to be as healthy as possible.
Chart link: N/A
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Lots of weddings, and since I will be starting a new job, hopefully we can take a long weekend away somewhere next week!

@lilyofthewest: Where in Wyoming are you going? If you are going to be towards Cheyenne you should take a day trip to Ft Collins, CO! DH and I just vacationed there and looooved it! I have good feelings for you, vacations always end in BFP!!
clementine / 957 posts
@raspberries: Yeah it turned out really well! I was a little nervous about our cabinets because we picked out the style and color from small samples. I really liked them once they were in and they looked exactly like I imagined in my head. I'm sure that your countertops will be great, what kind did you get (granite, marble, etc)?
@KelLeeLeee: Congrats & good luck at the new job!
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
I'm calling this a positive OPK. Yes? I think our timing is good!
pear / 1955 posts
@HappyBluebird: Oh phew. I feel a little better knowing you were happy with what you picked from the samples, haha. We went with quartz counters - because you don't need to seal them, and they're supposed to be more stain-resistant, but mostly because I just liked the pattern better than the granite samples. How about you?
@travellingbee: That is most definitely positive! FX!!!
clementine / 957 posts
@travellingbee: Definitely looks positive to me!!
@raspberries: Haha, its definitely overwhelming when you pick it out and before its in but afterward you will be so happy! We picked a granite mostly because I found a slab of granite I really liked that had color variations and streaks that I loved! I liked that the quartz doesn't need as much maintenance though! Just couldn't find the color I was looking for!

Yay, I've been excited for this thread to start up!
Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle #: 4
POAS date: 8/5
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Charting & OPKs, Conceive Plus. I have been going to acupuncture--not specifically for TTC, but I did tell her I'm trying to get pregnant & she did some fertility points. I also stopped taking vitamin B6. Started taking it in May after a super weirdly short 8-day LP, but noticed fewer O signs while on it. Decided to stop this cycle and the O signs are back!
Chart link: No link but pic below--I am a teacher on summer break and I have been amazed at how steady my vacation-mode temps are!
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Went to the beach for a week and saw the Beyonce/Jay-Z tour!
Chart so far:

Am curious about Conceive Plus and Preseed. Hmmm...
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Remodeling our new house and building a fence
