Cycle Day: 13
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS date: OV ?? POAS 1/13
Baby #: 2Your plan this month: I began taking Folic Acid every day and B6 until I get a +OPK. FF suggested beginning BD on CD10 (Saturday), but we haven't since even though we totally could have last night. Perhaps these negative OPK and the fact that I cannot temp are getting me down. It's just not realistic to temp with a sleepless 9mo because the readings would not be accurate at all. My plan is basically to BD tonight and hope for the best.
For Fun: I'm resolving to get my son outdoors more than I did in November/December months. I am a branch lead for a family hiking group, but have been MIA due to the holidays like most people. We have three hikes lined up this week alone so I really need to get back into the swing of things before a BFP knocks me on my butt with nausea!

Thanks for starting this thread!
Cycle Day: 12
TTC Cycle #: 3
Ovulation & POAS date: 1/10? & 1/22?
Baby #: 2Your plan this month: temping, OPK, paying attention to CM, remaining calm. My cycles are 32-40 days, and my CM isn't usually informative as to when I'll be O'ing, so I'll probably rely heavily on OPKs.
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? No! There's the usual things I'm working on: exercising, keeping a cleaner house, not losing my cool when my son is driving me nuts, etc. but nothing new for the new year.
I hope more ladies join us, and I'm excited to start seeing some positive pee sticks here in the next few weeks!

@combatlibby: What is the folic acid and b6 pre-O for?
-
Cycle Day: 8
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS date: O date: Jan 3rd-ish.
POAS date: January 17th is my AF date but I will definitely test earlier.Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: BD at least every other day from end of AF until well after ovulation. Not temping or using OPKs so O is basically going off of my best guess. Don't miss any opportunities like last month!
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP?: Just to chill out more! Stop obsessing over every little thing in my life.
Excited for this month!
-
Cycle Day: CD15
TTC Cycle #: 3
Ovulation & POAS date: Should O on Jan 4th. AF is due Jan 16th. I'll prob POAS Jan 14th.
Baby #:3
Your plan this month: Trying to take things down a notch this month. It's only ever taken us 2 cycles to get pregnant ( twice ) So now I just want to not be so obsessed this month. I'm not temping and I only have 1 or 2 opk's left over from last month. I'm going to try and not buy anymore this month. I also increased my vitamin C, D, and folic acid. I weaned my daughter down so I'm only breast feeding once per day right now, and I'll be dropping this last feed soon as I go back to work in a few weeks. I won't be able to breastfeed while working due to my schedule, so I hope that weaning helps.
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? No, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at in life. With going back to work this month, my husband and I have a hard time adjusting to our change in roles. I guess I just want us to try and be patient with each other while be both figure everything out.
Good luck to everyone this month

Happy almost-new year everyone!
Cycle Day: 34
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation & POAS date: ovulation 12/21, POAS 1/3
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: the usual...temping, OPKs, and Clomid. I had a doctor's appointment today and she gave me an rx for 100mg instead of 50mg if I don't get pregnant this cycle since I didn't ovulate till CD25 on the 50mg. I also had bloodwork done, so anxiously awaiting the results of that.
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Spend more time doing things I enjoy, especially things that would be harder to do with a baby or while pregnant. Also, clean out my closet
-
@Litebrite: Folic acid is recommended by my OB pre-pregnancy and during so I'm taking that every day. I'm only doing B6 until OV because "it helps to regulate your hormones. Consuming Vitamin B6 can also help to lengthen your luteal phase of your cycle if you suffer from luteal phase defect. Still more women are convinced that Vitamin B6 can increase cervical mucus, which can help in conception. If you aren’t getting enough Vitamin B6, it can affect you in many ways. Your menstrual cycle can be irregular, and it can also lead to poor egg and sperm development." - ConceiveEasy.com
There are certain things that "use up" your B6 quickly and caffeine is one of them. I don't eat enough foods that contain it either. I only take it up until OV because I don't want to take extra medication/supplements during luteal phase. Just my preference!
FYI: these are things that worked for me in the past, which is the reason I'm attempting again. I'm not advising others take my route especially if they're getting the nutrients I'm missing.

Its funny when I was on the POAS boards for my first, it was called new year, new babies and we had a record number of
that month including myself. Good Luck everyone! Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle #: 2 (but again we're avoiding but no BC)
Ovulation & POAS date: 1/14 and 1/30
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Keep temping and try to avoid the fertile window. I'd like to get on track to lose some lbs and start taking prenatals again. If we got pregnant this cycle I would have almost the same due date as I did with LO#1
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? I really need to lose 15-25lbs before getting pregnant. -
@Chillybear: I'm hopeful we have the same record high this month!
-
Cycle Day: CD 22
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation & POAS date: 1/5
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Not much, downloaded an ovulation tracker and looks like our timing was really good, so hey why not!!!!
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP?
Meal plan!! -
@combatlibby: Best of luck tonight
@Litebrite: Yes to a clean house, currently just cleaned out our closet!!
@artsyfartsy: Good Luck! How old is LO #1
@MrsB2012: Good luck weaning! We just completely weaned from only bedtime to none! She pretty much did it herself, which was nice! Best of luck!!!!
@Kitkat: I took clomid a lot for DD, best of luck!
@Chillybear: Good Luck!
-
@FaithFertility: He is 22 months!
-
@artsyfartsy: Great age gap!!! Good luck!
-
@combatlibby: Thanks for the info! I got pregnant with my son our first try and at the time my diet had a lot of B6 in it. Probably a coincidence, but maybe I'll try eating more of those foods again.
@kitkat good luck with your test results...and with the closet!
@chillybear if we conceive this month the EDD will be very close to LO1's birthday, too.
-
Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle #: 4
Ovulation & POAS date: I think the 14th to O, and then 27th POAS.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Keep taking my prenatal daily vitamin to get my Folic acid and all the other vitamins, coninue with Vitamin D, drink more water and eat more greens! the few days before I o take some cough medicine to make sure my mucous is loose. Hubby will only be home the day I o and the day after during my fertile period, so BD like crazy tose two days!
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Save for a mortgage! -
Cycle Day: 9
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS date: ~1/8 and af due 1/22, so I will try to wait until then to test
Baby #: 3
Your plan this month: just going with the flow, no expectations or pressure for now
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Move into our new house, it's an old farmhouse we are fixing up on our own and it feels like the never-ending project. -
Hi ladies!! Would love to jump in!! Happy New Year!!! Hoping that 2016 brings baby dust to all!!
Technically, I POAS 1/2.. If not, I'll be POAS later this month. I'm posting for both my fresh cycle and this cycle.
Cycle Day: 37 (8/9 DPO)
TTC Cycle #: 10 (17 months) or 11
Ovulation & POAS date: 1/2 and an O between CD18-25 so let's just say POAS 1/31
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: trying Femara for the 4th time. I've done Clomid 3 times already. I haven't been on any Fertility drugs since Aug. Trying to get my cycles regulated. Just started Oing on my own 3 cycles ago, which is a huge blessing!! Each time I O earlier and earlier in my cycle. I've consistently had a 6-8 day Luteal phase for the past 6 cycles (I've only O'd for 6) and hoping this cycle breaks the chain! I'm praying AF doesn't come until at least Sun!! That would make either 10 or 11 day Luteal phase which is what you need for a successful pregnancy. I'm on B6 and C to try and lengthen my Luteal phase. I temp, check CP & CM and will use OPK's this next cycle with Femara. I hadn't for the past few months!! Hopefully this is my month ( I mean I have 2 shots)!!For Fun: want to start walking more with DH. Definitely eating a little better and want to spend more quiet time with the Lord!
Prayers for lots and lots of BFP's!!
-
How was everyone's New Years? I've really been slacking with taking my BBT. In a way it's good because it means I'm not obsessing, but I hope I won't regret it later on in my cycle.
Good luck to @winnie13 and @kitkat who POAS in the next two days
-
Happy new year everyone!
I broke down and tested a little early this morning (11dpo)...BFN. Hoping it's still just early, but my temps look like they're dropping too.
-
Happy New Year to you all!! Here is to 2016!! I am new to this board so here goes.
Cycle Day: CD20 - DPO 3 or 4
TTC Cycle #:8
Ovulation: O was on CD 16 or 17
POAS date: January 8th (if I can wait that long)
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: First Cycle of Clomid, taking prenatal vitamins, using OPKs, and BD EOD during FW.For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Yes SO and I just decided that even though our BD monthly ratio has increased, our romance has decreased so we are going to do a "date night activity" once a week, probably on Fridays, to reconnect romantically and there will be no TTC talk then.
-
@Mrs. D: @cheesehead: @Winnie13: @bloomingflower: Best of luck!!!!
-
@Kitkat:
sorry!! Maybe AF will stay away for good reasons!!!!
-
@Litebrite: Good in bed by 10...lol DD was asleep DH worked today so normal night for us!!
-
@lightbright: @faithfertility: Us too! DH had to wake up at 3:45 for work, so we set an alarm for midnight to do a kiss and go back to sleep!! Lol! My have the years changed!
Took a test this morning with a BFN... Good news is AF still hasn't come and this is the longest my Luteal phase has ever been!! Total blessing! I feel like this has been the first cycle in 17 months that has a chance of conception! I'm just so thankful for that!! If my temp is still elevated tomorrow I will POAS... It would be 10/11 DPO. This weekend will be telling for sure!!
-
Well...AF just showed.
On the bright side, it was my shortest cycle since coming off the pill in May -- 36 days. Off to the pharmacy to fill my Clomid for this month, hopefully I'll get a chance to POAS again this month. Good luck to everyone else! -
@Kitkat: I'm so sorry! It's very disappointing for sure. Hoping this cycle is even shorter than the last! All we can do is focus on the positives and celebrate small successes!!
-
@Winnie13: Awesome about LP!!!! Hope it makes this month it!
@Kitkat: Well there is something!!
-
@Winnie13: thank you, fingers crossed this is your month!
I'm definitely bummed, but trying to look at the positives (short cycle, long LP), plus I've been super motivated to de-clutter today and I already have 6 trash bags to go to Goodwill, the trash, or consignment! 
Bring on 2016!!
-
@Kitkat: Ugh, I'm sorry about AF.
but it's good news it was a shorter cycle. At least it's progress. I hope you stick around the Jan board and get to try again this month.@winnie13: yay about a longer LP! Hopefully that did the trick for you.
-
@Kitkat: I always feel like being productive when anything disappointing happens! It actually relaxes me and calms me down! Distractions are the way to go!! I took down Christmas today and it was so sad! Definitely the worst part of Jan!
@litebrite: @faithfertility: Thanks for the support!! I'm cramping a little, so that's never good! Now I just wait and see what the weekend brings!
How is everyone else doing? Any updates?
-
@Kitkat:
At least you hopefully get another chance this month! Fingers crossed!!@Winnie13: Sounds promising!! A long LP is awesome!
Update for me: Not much really. I'm officially in my fertile week as of yesterday. Got some BDing in and have a lot more ahead. Just trying to relax and enjoy the time between DH and I.
I'm pretty relaxed right now about it all. I don't think much about TTC until I enter in my daily data in my app every evening. I know once I hit the TWW though I will be obsessed lol.
-
Happy 2016, everyone! Cheers to lots of BFPs this month!
Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS date: January 2, January 16
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Try to be casual and not over-think things
For Fun: I really want to get my anxiety in check. More yoga, better eating, and not looking for problems might help! -
@babypugs: good luck
-
@Winnie13: Nop AF due in a few days I'm just waiting it out!
-
@Kitkat: Sorry to hear about AF, but that's great news that your cycle was only 36 days, what an improvement! I hope that with a more consistent cycle you get your bfp shortly!
@babypugs: good luck this month. We're also in the relax and not over think things boat this month.
I only had 1 OPk left over from last month and I didn't want to buy more to keep with my relaxed approach. I took it yesterday as I suspected it might be positive, which it was. Hoping to keep up some good timing. I've noticed with my last few charts, I get my positive OPK, but don't get crosshairs until 2 days after my positive. Now that I know that pattern, I'm hoping if we bd an extra day or two then what we have been doing, we will have better luck this month. On both my charts where I had a BFP, we bd on O and O+1. Any chart where we didn't hit both those days, I've had BFNs. Coincidence, maybe, but it's worth a try haha. I'm not temping this month, so I guess as I won't know my actual O date, I won't be able to see, but it's interesting none the less.
-
@Litebrite: The bright side of not conceiving last month is that I was able to drink some wine New Years eve, and didn't have to figure out a way to conceal my not drinking from my in-laws.
-
Cycle Day: CD 32
TTC Cycle #: 4
Ovulation & POAS date: 12/18 (according to CB; 10/26 according to FF) (ugh) POAS on 1/4, which is day after AF is supposed to arrive.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: keep doing what I'm doing (thinking of getting the CB monitor instead of using just the CB Digital
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Put my phone down! -
@marley: good luck!
-
@Mrs. D: I hear ya on that! It wouldn't have been a huge deal, but it was a silver lining to not have to play the "is she/ isn't she" game during the holidays with the family.
@marley good luck! I've looked into the CB monitor and may take the plunge if this cycle isn't successful. Having unpredictable cycles makes ttc so much trickier.
that month including myself. Good Luck everyone! 
sorry!! Maybe AF will stay away for good reasons!!!!
