Hubs and I aren't TTC yet, but I wanted to join in as a cheerleader this month!

I'll join! First time
Cycles trying: 2
Current Cycle Day: 16
Estimated Ovulation Date: no clue! looks like I started to ramp up to O on CD 12 with CM and darker OPKs, but it never happened, so still waiting. Last cycle it was on CD32, if I go that way again my O date will be July 13th
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: TBD. It'll be July 27th if this cycle is like last cycle (46 days). Hopefully it doesn't drag out that long though
BD timing: EOD until positive OPK, then every day until temp spike
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle staying on the OPKs twice a day so I don't miss my surge!
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Boneless, skinless chicken thighs! Way juicier than breasts but all the fat still grills out so pretty healthy

I'd like to join the cheerleaders this month! Still waiting to try, but love keeping up with POAS boards! Hoping for lots of this month!
And my favorite thing to grill is jalapeño poppers: jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon & spices. Yum!

I'm in!!!
Cycles trying: This is #6/trying since Nov 2012
Current Cycle Day: CD26/5DPO
Estimated Ovulation Date: CD21
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: Put me down for July 4th!!!! I'm hoping AF won't show before then...or at all!
BD timing: We aim for EOD
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) This cycle I started using evening primrose oil (before O), B6, and vitamin D (in addition to my prenatal) ETA - I should also add that I've already been charting and using OPK's
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill?: Good question! I'm going to have to go with brats!!

I'm still on the sidelines until AF appears. I'm on CD92 and I am starting to get worried...
I have been on Synthroid for 3 weeks, and I'm not sure if it should have returned my period to me by now. Everyday I am getting more depressed that I can't just get my period.
I will as always though be following the POASers!

Cycles trying: This is cycle #3
Current Cycle Day: CD22
Estimated Ovulation Date: CD 16
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I'm hoping to test July 3 which would be 12 DPO but I don't know if that will be too early. My first cycle was 19 days, second cycle was 27. This is my third cycle off BC so I'm still not sure what my cycle is.
BD timing: We BD 3 days and 1 day before O
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) Taking prenatals and used OPKs to estimate but wasn't as religious about using the OPKs this month.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Burgers and hotdogs

So excited to be back! It's been a long, hard 4 months and I was starting to feel like I'd never be able to join one of these boards again!
Cycles trying: 1st cycle post-MC in early March (3 cycles trying prior to that)
Current Cycle Day: CD 13
Estimated Ovulation Date: July 3 (CD 20)
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: July 17
BD timing: every 3 days before expected O week, ED OR EOD during expected O week
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle: nothing new, but using OPKs - I'm assuming my cycle will be the same as pre-MC, but who knows!!
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Steaks! With homemade sweet potato fries as the side

Estimated Ovulation Date: 29th or 30th
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: July 14th (usually 28 day cycles)
BD timing: aiming for EOD

For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Love hamburgers/cheeseburgers on the grill!

@LovelyPlum thanks for starting the july board! you are the best cheerleader.

Yaaay! Here we go again...
Cycles trying: Went off BC in December - first two cycles were a waste/not timed with BD. I just started cycle #4 of "good timing" trying!
Current Cycle Day: CD3 - yay AF?!
Estimated Ovulation Date: Anywhere from CD20-23 so somewhere between July 13 and 17.
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: 30-34 days. I'll probably be an end of the month POASer.
BD timing: EOD after AF until O is confirmed.
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) Already temping and using OPKs. I've been spotting/having discharge pre-AF so I'm going to try taking B6 post-O this cycle to try and lengthen my LP.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Corn on the cob!
cherry / 155 posts
@Lovelyplum: thank you for starting! I'm feeling really positive about July. Yep- positive!
Cycles trying: 7th or so (we started just seeing what would happen)
Current Cycle Day: CD19
Estimated Ovulation Date: happened around June 22nd
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I will wait until AF is late this time- my cyle is very regular 28 days, so it should be July 6th
BD timing: EOD
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) I've been taking pre-natals for forever because I have a little guy who will be 2 in August-- took them all through BFing and then just kept going-- I also added vitamin D. I was in a study with my first pregnancy about the effects of Vit D on the baby and I'm positive I had the real Vit D and my son is super healthy so of course now I am all about vitamin D. I have absolutely no proof
I don't use OPK-- maybe I'll start if this cycle doesn't pan out.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill?
We just started grilling bread (use a loaf from Panera)- put a little olive oil and then spices. Char it a little and oh my goodness. so good! We put some goat cheese and arugula on it, yum. My new favorite.

I'm in! Thanks for getting this rolling, @LovelyPlum:
Cycles trying: 2 NTNP and 3rd TTC
Current Cycle Day: CD7
Estimated Ovulation Date: Well, it was early and surprised me last month, so I'm prepping for 7/7. Its going to be a busy holiday weekend!
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: Well its been 29, but last month was 31, so who knows. I think POAS 7/20 if I can wait that long!
BD timing: hoping for EOD and maybe a little extra around O
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) I'm going to try and do OPKs twice a day this month. Oh and I'm not working for the summer, so hopefully less stressed. Hopefully.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Peaches, mmm!

Cycles trying: 2
Current Cycle Day: 4
Estimated Ovulation Date: 8th
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: it varies because of breastfeeding but I'm going to estimate 30 days
BD timing: Every other day.
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) I won't until I stop breastfeeding since I can't count on regular cycles.

Fx for all you ladies!! I'm pretty positive I'm a March momma so I need some company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for July! One of my favorite months!
Cycles trying: 3
Current Cycle Day: 18
Estimated Ovulation Date: Positive OPK today so probably tomorrow
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: July 12
BD timing: My positive opk came several days early this month, so I feel a little behind! Hoping for ED the next few days!
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?) I've been temping and OPKing for a while (temps haven't gone well this month because of travel/erratic sleeping, so who knows). I am not using progesterone this month after using it the last 2, so I'm hoping my LP will be an ok length. If I don't get pregnant this month I'm scheduled to have a lap on July 16.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? Burgers and hotdogs.

Cycles trying: 2
Current Cycle Day: 19

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: 26-29 days... this is going to be a longer one I'm assuming.

Hope we have another successful month!

Cycles trying: 2nd officially trying
Current Cycle Day: CD4
Estimated Ovulation Date: still pretty sure I'm not ovulating properly, so lets just say CD14, July 7th
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: cycles still aren't a consistent length, anywhere from 25-32 days, but FF is predicting AF on the 23rd, so I'll use that as my POAS date
BD timing: at least EOD starting this weekend, and then every day for about a week around suspected O date.
Are you doing anything extra/different this cycle (OPKs, temping, charting, vitamins, etc?): Starting acupuncture this cycle to see if it helps with my ovulation issues. And still throwing everything else at TTC, like using the CBEF monitor in the mornings, OPKs in the afternoon, charting my temps, pre-seed, and a whole lot of BDing.
For Fun: What's your favorite food to grill? A good old fashioned cheeseburger!
Can't wait for a bunch of BFPs this month. Baby dust to all!!!
