@ksnow: wow! Same days, yay!

Cycle Day: 9
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: 6/30 and 7/14
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: OPKs and a special "ttc lube" to combat the effects of a horribly timed yeast infection. I'm nervous the treatment creams will kill all of the spermies, so I'm hoping a special lube will help keep them safe!
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in July? We have two family vacations in July, which both unfortunately fall during my two ovulation windows in July! Hopefully we can still get plenty of bd time in while hanging with family and wrangling our toddler!
-
Cycle Day: 18 (almost 19....late post!)
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: I likely ovulated around 6/22 give or take and will probably start testing end of next week depending on how I feel. 7/4 if I don't know before then!
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: well I'm past planning... we had sex that was the plan As a random aside today is cycle day 18 and I had spotting. It would be theoretically too early for implantation and too late for ovulation. Sigh. I don't know what to make of it.

Well, we impulsively decided to start this month, originally had planed to wait until August. My husbands schedule is pretty tricky right now, so this cycle ended up being barely a "try." I'm also not temping right now, going to wait on that extra effort until the summer is over.
Cycle Day: 16? (Been a little off lately)
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: I think I ovulated on day 14, based on EWCM and cervical position. Will try to wait until July 11 to test
Baby #: 2, we have a 26-month old daughter
Your plan this month: I need to cut back on coffee / alcohol, and drink more water! I thought I had a couple more months before TTC so i feel a little unprepared (especially considering how planned and careful everything was last time!)
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in July? We have a big party coming up on the 4th, other than that we moved to a new house in June so we've got lots of projects going, and I just moved my private practice to a new office- good stressors, but busy! -
Good luck to all you ladies I wish you all the best!!!!!

Cycle Day: CD23
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: 6/24 - POAS 7/2 (9dpo) testing early because 7/2 is my birthday!
Baby #: 1!
Your plan this month: OPKs, BD ED in FW, temps
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in July? My MIL is coming to visiting us for the first time starting Friday and staying the weekend -
Cycle Day: 9
TTC Cycle #:2
Ovulation and POAS dates: 7/5 & 7/20
Baby #:2
Your plan this month: have lots of sex & track CM
I'll also focus on more low impact exercise rather than high impact exercise near possible implantation days.
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in July? My lo has a 2nd birthday on July 3rd so we'll celebrate his bday with family on the 4th. Can't believe he's gonna be two!!! Yay!!
The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays & hoping that it's a lucky baby making month too!!!
good luck everyone!!!!!

Cycle Day: 27
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: around 7/10-7/13 and 7/25
Baby #: 2, currently have a 19 mos DD
Your plan this month: Opk's. My cycle has been off so I'm not sure when I ovulate so I'm hoping the opk's will help.
For Fun: Does anyone have any special vacations or events going on in July? have a short week this week taking off thurs and off Friday for the holiday so going to get in some r&r, my mom is coming to visit in 3 weeks and at the end of the month we have a summer event at work going to the spy museum for a team building "mission" and then out to lunch.... I'm a nerd bc I'm excited for it!
-
Here to cheer you all on! FX for lots of
!! -
Ahhh it's been a long time since I've been on here! We're trying for #2.
Cycle Day: 22 (4DPO)
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: According to FF I ovulated 6/26 -- if it weren't for one weird temp it would have been 6/23. I have no idea when to POAS... my period is due at 12DPO on 7/9 but I may try on 7/6.
Baby #: 2, we have a 19 month old
Your plan this month: I charted, which was challenging with a toddler that doesn't sleep. I don't have full faith in my chart as a result, but either way we had decent timing (would have been better for the earlier date, but on the FF-determined date, it was O-1 and O-2 at least.
For Fun: We have no vacations lined up! I'm on solo duty at work and my husband is working every single weekend. -
Questions TTC-ers- do you dtd every day in your ovulation window or every other day?
-
@jh524: We do every other day, just because thats the most we can muster...we're not spring chickens anymore
-
@lady grey: lol. It's hard! Especially when your tired at the end of the day. Every day seems like a lot! Lol. Oh wow I feel old and lame now ...
-
@jh524: yes! DH is almost 40 so he really can't do every day...poor guy would kill me if he saw this! hehe
Sometimes we dtd in the morning before Dh goes to work (I SAH right now)...that seems to work better for us when we're really tired in the evenings.
-
@lady grey: I'm so not into DTD in the mornings!! I'm very much a night DTD-er. ha!
-
We just DTD every day the 3 days before my O date.

@jh524: ever since coming off birth control earlier this year I have been *ahem* a lot more frisky. So, we have dtd literally every day this cycle minus last night and the days during AF. I better get preggers this month bc I def got in every single fertile day!
-
@lady grey: ha if only our men knew all the things us ladies talk about on here!! Lol
@ModernDayJibarita: so is it best to dtd days before you ovulate or on O day?!
@TrailRunner: frisky!!!! I feel like I get more frisky when I'm TTC for sure!!!!! -
These are a couple of graphs I found that show the probability of concieving depending on when you DTD in refrence to day of ovulation
*Disclaimer I have not completely read( and can't find right now) the articles where these where pulled from
-
So it's better to DTD prior to O. It's so interesting! Is it just a small window of fertilization when you ovulate that it's better to have the strong swimmers wAiting by doing it earlier ?
@ModernDayJibarita: thanks for those graphs
-
Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: I think I'll ovulate July 1st

@mrsdoily: good luck!!
-
@jh524: While I'm currently preg, when we were TTC we did EOD. After two months of that, we switched to every day and that's the month we conceived.

@mrsdoily: good luck! I put you down as TBD bc you didn't list a POAS date. If you want me to put a date down just let me know!
@ModernDayJibarita: thanks for the graphs.
@ValentineMommy: We dtd everyday this cycle. I have symptoms of AF so I'm pretty sure I'm out (really bad cramps in back starting yesterday at 8dpo), but knowing I DEF got all my fertile days in is still keeping me going for now. I'm due for AF on Saturday so just a wait and see game! -
sooooo I'm only 9dpo but felt pretty pregnant last night and caved and tested. I have two super squinters this morning with different brands. I'm hoping for the best but with my weird spotting this month and how squinty they were I wouldn't say I'm in the clear yet. Crossing every finger this works out!
-
I'm jumping on the July board! Good luck to everyone this month
Cycle Day: 1 (ugh)
TTC Cycle # : 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: ~7/18 and 7/30
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Relax, have fun and plenty of BDing!
For Fun: Planning a few beach days, and DH and I are running a Tough Mountain challenge this month. It's like the Tough Mudder but shorter and less intense! -
@reverie: Congrats! I feel like that's so early to see lines so that has to be a good sign!
-
@MrsChickpea - ready for the TWW?? I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I'm a little concerned if this cycle might be "off" but I think I ovulated on schedule...so fingers crossed!
-
@reverie: exciting!! Do you want to be out down as a BFP or wait?
-
@TrailRunner: sure we can always edit.... I am thinking good things, I just don't want to get giddy until I'm 100%.
POAS Dates 
I'll also focus on more low impact exercise rather than high impact exercise near possible implantation days.
