@LittleGBee: well, I usually start spotting the day before AF, but there was no spotting yesterday. I tested this morning and got 2 BFPs! One on a Wondfo and one on a FRER! I still can't believe it. I was sure I was out this month. I didn't have a single symptom...not even imagined ones. Here's hoping this one sticks!
Who's next

Congrats futuremama! Starting off with a bang!
@doxielove--I'm sorry. How long are your cycles? I'm thinking I'm going to start my period today or tomorrow....

Current Cycle Day: 14
Ovulation Date: I think this Sunday 1/6
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: 1/17, normal length is 33 days
Cycles trying: This is my first! Excited!!!
BD timing: just going for every day, only once per day. If it doesn't happen for us this month, will decrease to every other day
Favorite Moment from 2012: So many, but our vacation to Colombia with 14 friends for adult style spring break
Resolutions for POAS: I havent ever POAS and wanted it to be positive before -- just excited to do it. My resolution is to keep it a secret this cycle bc I will be POAS when on a ski trip with friends. Also, if I somehow am lucky enough to have a BFP, I have to be sneaky and pretend to drink alcohol or it will tip everyone off

Current Cycle Day: 3? AF is here.
Ovulation Date: 1/16- I think.
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: 1/31 (Might roll into Feb.) my normal cycle is 28 days. This time i'm not so sure because it's my first AF since August!
Cycles trying: 9
BD timing: Daily.
Favorite Moment from 2012: Our wedding and moving into our first home!
Resolutions for POAS: If this month isn't our month i'm going to start charting/temping/etc. So my goal is to learn my body & my schedule better, since i've just been guessing this far!

I have been trying to stay away from the boards bc I really went cray cray last month spending every free second researching baby, TTC stuff. This month has been so much better mentally!! Today is finally into my "fertile zone" haha. Hoping to maintain my calm through the TWW. Last month we had been BD'ing EOD for a week already at this point which was bad strategy!
So yay for sticking to my TTC resolution
How's everyone else holding up???

@Runnerd: was last month your first TTC month? I did that my first month, and I'm kind of glad I just went with it for the experience. Every morning was spent googling "1 dpo, 3 dpo, 6 dpo, etc." I was actually a little relieved I did not get pregnant b/c we were so business-like and I was stressed.
The last two months were much more relaxed. Hoping to maintain that calm for January, too. Let's encourage each other to stick to it!

@futuremama: Congratulations mama!!! too a happy and healthy 9 months!!!
@runnerd: i feel you....i want this month to be calm, and i am trying to not overlay worry...i guess i have done that so far these past two weeks...as i have managed not to freak out about doing my OPK's....yesterday monring i went to pee and totally forgot to pee in a cup to see what the OPK would say...and instead of getting mad, i laughed...i thought it was really funny...i LH surge has started and i should get a positive OPK later tonight of tomorrow morning...poor DH has been feeling sick but has been a trooper....
grapefruit / 4311 posts
@Happygal: last time was #2, but first using OPKs so I think it made things get super business like lol.. I kept telling DH which days we needed to BD, this time I am not mentioning it!
@MrsCastro: glad your mental game is feeling strong this month too!! Now to just get past your pos OPK and try to stay on relaxed mode!! This morning was first OPK I took this month, and I felt that panic rise trying to interpret it, I think they really increase my anxiety!
grapefruit / 4213 posts
@runnerd: Same here. Last month I was freaking out at every little twinge or drip. But I think it was because charting was new to me. Now that I've got a month under my belt I'm feeling less stressed about it.

Had my HSG a few days ago. Went over the results with the doctor today and everything is normal. Obviously I'm relieved, but like the doctor said, we're running out of things to test to figure out why I have such wacky irregular cycles. She wants me to keep charting with OPKs and temping for another 2 months and then we'll try Clomid if I'm still not preg. Plus DH goes for his SA in a few weeks.

@futuremama: yahoo!!! Congrats!!! Our first BFP - so exciting!!! Lots of healthy and happy vibes your way.
I'm flying home today from a great week out west - in the airport as we speak and completely zonked. Ready to sleep in my own bed and get back to normal eating (haven't had a fruit since I don't know when).
I bought a book for my flight called "Two Week Wait" - hopefully it will take my mind off things! 6 days until I test but I'm having a feeling this isn't our month.
What do you think my chances are if we were only able to BD O-5, O-3, O-2 and O+1? I feel like we missed the two best days and I shouldn't even hope.

Thanks everyone! Now I have to figure out how to hide the fact that I'm not drinking on our vacation in a couple of weeks. I'll be 7 weeks along at an all-inclusive resort! Virginia piƱa colada for me please!
Fx for lots more BFPs this month!

Had what is *possibly* an implantation dip today at 7dpo. Going to hold out until Thursday morning (12dpo) before testing. It's driving me crazy!!
Also - super embarrassing moment today - I got my sister to update my iPhone last week because I'm so not techy. When she did that, she must have somehow synced it to my family's devices because my dad shouts out: "Why the hell is there a mommy ovulation app on my ipad???" crickets...crickets...
Luckily my sister said "oh I use that to track my periods...it must have downloaded on your ipad by mistake." I don't know if she caught on to cover me up (she doesn't know I'm TTC) or if she was being serious but I was very thankful for her!! I sneakily then went on his ipad and deleted it (along with fertility friend, My Days and all my other TTC apps that have no business being on there!! - hahaha)
