@Tidybee: so sorry for your loss, hopefully you can join us soon and get your rainbow baby BFP!
-
So now I am really confused. My wondfo looked totally positive but my First Response OPK is negative. Hmmm.... It is right on time, and I've had ewcm.... I wonder why the FR digital is negative....
-
@travellingbee: ugh really frustrating. can't offer any advice. but i'd say BD as much as possible!!!
-
I am apprehensively joining this month since I have two miscarriages in the past year. I need more positive than negative thoughts in my mind. Can't wait to see everyone getting BFP's!
My DH's birthday is in April, so FX that this cycle works out.
Cycle Day: CD14
TTC Cycle #: 3
POAS date: 8/3
Baby #1
Your plan this month: I am seeing a specialist and after the Dr. couldn't find anything conclusive I am on a cycle of Clomid and progesterone.
Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: Just hanging out with friends and family. Many beach days at the Cape. -
@KelLeeLeee: Nope, out in Jackson. WY is a big state...especially for someone from New England!
-
@travellingbee: Your Wondfo is probably more sensitive than the FR, I'd expect it to be positive by morning
@lilyofthewest: haha yes, every state is huge compared to mine!
-
@loki: Thanks for straightening out the list.
@KelLeeLeee: Congrats on your new job! Hope you enjoy your weekend away. -
@Eko: Sorry for your losses
I hope you get some good news soon!!
-
@KelLeeLeee: Thanks! This is my first cycle using OPK's and getting the timing down more precisely, so it is making me more wound up. haha. FX for you too!
-
@KelLeeLeee: thanks I decided to test a couple hours later and I finally got a positive on the first response.
-
@travellingbee thanks for starting this! I've been anxiously awaiting to participate in these boards!
Let's make some April babies!!

-

Good luck ladies! Can't wait to join the board in The fall. Hope there are lots of BFPs this month!
-
@JennyG: Definitely clear blue digital! Best by far!
-
@loki: Okay by me
. In my head I was thinking, "yes! I just got permission from a nice lady on the internet to start testing 2 days even more crazy early!" Putting things off to the 10th is probably a smarter use of pee though.

@raspberries: re: PreSeed & Conceive+Plus
I haven't used the C+P yet, but the PreSeed is a pretty nice, basic lube.
I've been using it just because if I'm going to get it on every day or EOD for a stretch, I need lube, and most commercial lubes can be harmful to sperm. I don't think the PreSeed or C+P is going to do anything extra to get me knocked up, just that it won't interfere in the way my usual lube might.
Well, at least I mostly don't think it'll do anything magic. If I weren't holding out some hope of magic I probably wouldn't have swapped in the C+P this cycle.
-
Yay! I'm in this cycle.
Cycle Day: CD 14
TTC Cycle #: 3ish
POAS date: Tentative 8/5
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Chart, opk, metformin, and just generally hope for O. Not really hopeful with the new PCOS diagnosis, but I'm just glad we have something and a semi-plan at this point. If no O in a few weeks, then Provera.Something exciting you've done or are doing this summer: TTC! Finally! Summer is generally pretty miserable for us so we don't do much during this time of year.
Cheers and lots of
ladies!!

@MissLace: Beautiful! Thanks for sharing a pic!
@Hoots: Our summers are the same. I'm in Texas-where are you? Good luck! -
@travellingbee: Thanks! Texas as well! We're in the Houston area, and I think the humidity is probably the worst part of the heat in general. Today I felt like I couldn't breathe about 5 p.m. it was so bad.
-
@Hoots: haha! I'm in Houston too and God, it's been so humid!!! Can't wait for our trip next week to get out of this!'
-
@travellingbee: I'm pretty jealous of your trip. I wish I could get out of this heat. I've never been to California, but I imagine it's pretty heavenly right now. Summer is just not a good time to travel for us.
I hope you have a awesome and non-humid time!
-
@travellingbee: Yay for the positive OPK!
-
@MissLace: omg, so adorable!
@JennyG: I like Clear Blue Advanced Digitals - hey tell you when your estrogen rises (i.e. when you start become fertile) and then also when you LH surges (i.e. when you are about to ovulate).
-
@JennyG: I second @KelLeeLeee on the ClearBlue Advanced digital OPK. They are expensive, but also there is zero guesswork. I have found them very accurate, too.
-
@misslace: I love him!!! How old is he? Aren't puppies wonderful- you are so busy taking care of them you never obsess over ttc!
-
@Runnergirl: he was 8 weeks old in that picture, he's currently about 13 weeks now. Yeah, it definately helps a bit with the ttc obsession, but this being my first actively ttc cycle i don't think it can be tamed much! Haha
On another note, of course the first cycle we're trying i have to travel for work for a few days during prime ttc time (ughh!) but we BD O-5 & O-4 (or 4 & 3 if i O a day earlier, still havent gotten a positive opk). I hope something sticks!

@JennyG: I have been using the ClearBlue digital. My doctor actually recommended them because they are easy to read. I have never used any other brand, but I have seen other HB's use cheaper OPK's and sometimes have a hard time interpreting the results. Amazon sells them the cheapest, I think. I personally would hate being like 'is this positive? I think it is, wait I don't know'. haha.
Wishing all of you 
in August! I think an April or May birthday sounds lovely.
