Hellobee Boards

Wow, already? May is flying by!! Just wanted to stop in and say good luck and baby dust to you all!! I hope to see lots and.lots of June mamas!!

@jhd: exciting! Congrats and baby dust to you!

Eta: good luck @doxielove!!

hooray for june!

Current Cycle Day: CD 8

Ovulation Date: not sure exactly--I haven't started tracking temps or doing OPKs since we only just started ttc, but based on my cycle lengths, FF is estimating somewhere between CD12 and CD23, which is a huuuge window!

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I think I'll POAS on June 13--that'll be CD30, and I also will be leaving that night to go abroad for a really long time (on and off for about 7 months!), so I'd like to find out while dh and I are in the same place! (we won't be together most of the time that I'm gone but will take turns visiting ). last month my cycle was 36 days so if that's my new normal it might still be too early then, but before I was always around 29 days (though on bcp for a really long time...)

Cycles trying: 2nd cycle off bcp

BD timing: we try to bd a lot when during my fertile window estimate, but this month will be awkward--we're going to be visiting his parents right smack in the middle! haha

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity? picnics!

Current Cycle Day: CD 4

Ovulation Date: Probably around June 1, but this is the first cycle post MC cycle, so who knows?!

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I guess around June 15?

Cycles trying: uh....no idea. Been trying since Dec. 2011

BD timing: no idea what we will try this cycle.

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity?: Nothing that I can do here. They are forecasting snow for Friday. Kill me now please. But if it ever gets warm I will enjoy cooking out on our new grill and entertaining friends at our "tiki bar."

I am "bbbr" on FF if anyone wants to be friends

@doxielove @lovelyplum Thanks!

@Boopers: Did ANY line at all show up? There should've been a control line.

Current CD: 18
Ovulation Date: probably Friday (5/24)
POAS date: June 7?
Cycles trying: 2
Favorite summer activity: the beach, can't wait to have my toes in the sand

@doxielove: I know right?! Although I'm headed to Milan for a bachelorette weekend so I suppose I can't complain

@LovelyPlum: thank you!

@Boopers: yeah, I would keep testing. 2x a day even, if you can. Like around 10am, then some time after 4. I remember when I first used them, I thought I missed ovu. Turns out I ovu'd later that cycle.

Hello All!
Brand-spanking-new here. Only 2nd cycle off BCP. So here goes...
Current CD: 14
Ovulation Date: Only started charting last month, which I think was around CD 13
POAS date/usual cycle lengh: last month was 27, so POAS around June 5??
Cycles trying: 1st one!
Favorite Summer Activity? Hanging out at Lake Tahoe!

Current Cycle Day: CD 12

Ovulation Date: Sometime between now and the beginning of June, hopefully.

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: Last cycle was 40, waiting for a positive OPK or other O indicators.

Cycles trying: Cycle #5/Trying since Nov '12

BD timing: EOD-ish... Not getting too wound up about it though.

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity?: Going for walks along surf beaches.

@PEAPIE: @NorCalWayfarer: Welcome and good luck! I am always so impressed by newcomers to the site jumping into threads like these. These threads move really quickly and have a lot of acronyms so you both must have already started some research. Thumbs up!

Yay it looks like a few of us are on our 2nd cycle trying after coming off BCP!

Thanks ladies for all the OPK advice! I cant test at 10 because I'm a teacher and don't really get much in the way of bathroom breaks. Luckily today is a day off and I tested and got the faintest line! I guess that means I need to keep testing until I ovulate but I'm glad to see a faint line even if it's negative. I guess I ovulate later than I thought!

I'll play! We're NTNP, so I don't really expect anything, but you never know!

Current Cycle Day: 2? 3?

Ovulation Date: No clue, maybe the 6th?

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I'll POAS on the 19th. This is only my second period pp, so I don't really know what my cycles are doing.

Cycles trying: We're not really trying.

BD timing: Whenever the mood strikes and LO takes good naps

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity?: Grilling out and going to the beach!

I'll join again too-- I'm really rooting for everyone and love following the updates!

Current Cycle Day: 11

Ovulation Date: Soon---my phone app told me I'm in my fertile time from today until May 30th

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: Well it would be June 10th but we are going to a fancy black-tie wedding in Philly on June 8th and if I don't have champagne there will be talk! I may test that morning, 6/8 so at least maybe if I get a BFN I'll have a glass. Or a BFP I'll have fun pretending to drink...

Cycles trying: at least 6 but getting a BFP with our first baby happened really quickly so this is cycle 2 really monitoring and Bding more often

BD timing: Hopefully everyday this long weekend and then Tuesday 5/28 am-- my husband goes out of town on Tuesday afternoon so we have a timeline! Hopefully the toddler sleeps in this weekend- hahahahahahahahahhahahaha.

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity?: Grilling, reading outside with the sun on my face, eating every meal outside

@doxielove: haha this month would actually be really inconvenient if we did get pregnant so maybe it'll happen. I've started hiking three kilometers a day as well, to reduce my stress and strengthen my hip, so hopefully it helps!

Current Cycle Day: CD 3

Ovulation Date: Around 6/7

POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: 6/20

Cycles trying: Lucky #13!

BD timing: We'll be trying for EOD. DH will be heading out of town right around O, so hopefully, I O on time and don't miss this month

For Fun: What's your favorite summer activity?: Hiking and drinking beers

@Boopers: another one here 2nd cycle after BCP! @nana87: @NorCalWayfarer:

Hey peeps, I'm hoping to POAS this month but I'm basically giving up on everything I was doing. May has been a tough month, so fx that June does it. No charting, no BBT, just enjoying hubby time every other day and praying to get lucky.

I've been keeping off the boards a bit to give my brain a break - I feel like I've put way too much pressure on myself in every aspect of TTC so I'm trying just to roll with it. I've been enjoying the great weather by gardening (attempting to grow vegetables), going to the gym and work is just plain nuts (which I also don't think helps my situation).

Check in with everything every once in a while and sticky dust to all
