@LovelyPlum: @AuntieEm: @T.H.O.U.: thanks ladies... I got so relaxed that I've come down with a cold - boo
-
Random question: does anyone else feel like they would be absolutely gobsmacked if they were pregnant this month? I feel like our TTC journey has been such a rollercoaster to date that if I actually got a BFP, I'd be stunned.
-
@SweetMamaM: Totally. Even more so this month than any other. This is only our 2nd month REALLY trying since our miscarriage in January. But I almost feel like the months that we were just having fun and kinda hoping it happened anyway, I felt more hopeful than now. Now I just feel like there's no way it will happen. It has made me wonder if temping and charting are making it more stressful because that's the only thing different this month. Might skip it next month!
-
@SweetMamaM: I'm delurking to say YES! I have infertility issues so I never join the POAS board, but with each month of trying and the additionally ones ahead it's not always easy to be positive, but I try very hard to be

@SweetMamaM: Yes, right there with you. Even though it's only been 6 months, I'm so used to seeing BFN/AF that I'll be utterly shocked when it does happen!
-
@SweetMamaM: Definitely. Considering it's the first cycle trying, I never saw a +OPK, but definitely O'd- 3 days earlier than expected. So I'd be really surprised!
-
@doxielove: Please put me down to POAS on the 25th, thanks.
-
@doxielove: AF should come on 6/18, so I guess you can put me for 6/20, thanks!
-
@SweetMamaM: I know I would be in shocked because this is our first cycle trying since our m/c in march but then again it wouldn't totally blow my mind either cause feb was our first month trying and it happened then and we where shocked then too so I would take shocked and surprised over disappointment this month lol fx and baby dust for us all!

-
@citymouse: How are you feeling, Mama?
-
@littleredhairedgrl: Welcome!!!!! GL!!!
Okay ladies I got myself an almost positive OPK this morning/afternoon (been testing around 1pm) So I think I'll test again late this evening & see if I catch my surge! We're trying to time for a boy (shettles method) so if I catch my surge today we'll BD tomorrow!.. (I think that's right...)
***It's on OPK.....NOT an hpt***
-
@TheReelDeal: I'm glad that my comment made you want to delurk! Even with finding out about and resolving our issues (it wasn't my PCOS as first thought), I find it hard to believe it could actually happen.
@AuntieEm: one of my major issues was post-traumatic stress anxiety and I don't think it's a coincidence that my cycles have somewhat regulated after dropping coffee and starting meditations at night. That's the main reason I don't temp and just OPK - far less stress that way. I mean, I'm peeing anyway LOL.
@doxielove: this! When I had that psycho cycle Jan/Feb/March I got totally over POAS and getting stark white BFN.
@PEAPIE: good luck! It could still happen!
@Honeygold89: I can't imagine how nerve-racking it would be to try after a loss. Good luck!
@runsyellowlites: I think that's just before or just after - get your BD on lady! -

Is it just me or does the list seem shorter this month? Too many people getting BFP's
I am having the period from hell. Heavy, HORRIBLE cramps. Blerch. Wish I could just skip AF every month. *sigh*
-
@doxielove: Oh no
That stinks. For some odd reason, I'm having milder cramps now (off BC) than on BC. (I think we have some lurkers that need to join the POAS posting!)
-
@littleredhairedgrl: Welcome!
@doxielove: Ugh that sucks. Hope it's over soon.
-
@SweetMamaM: I tested again this evening & the line was much lighter... I'm thinking I caught the end! From my average cycle length we thought we'd have to abstain till the end of the week, needless to say DH was thrilled to hear he was mine as soon as the kids went to bed. Lol
-
@runsyellowlites: hahaha after coming down with colds a couple of days after my positive OPK, I think my DH is glad that he doesn't have to BD when all he feels like doing is drinking lemon and ginger and curling up in bed. Not to mention my red nose is SOOO sexy.
-
@SweetMamaM: thanks!
And... @runsyellowlites: Oo-La-La! -
I'm lurking! Only because we are NTNP
Not sure if I will POAS or not.
-
@doxielove: Death. I am so sorry. I totally hear you-if my body's reaction to estrogen is any indication, this month is going to be *horrible.* Hang in there, lady
ETA: I'm not on the list, but that's ok. I think I'm team August at this point. I really hope none of you are still here then!
-
@runsyellowlites: go, lady, go!
-
@doxielove:aw it will be over soon hang in there
@SweetMamaM: it is a little but with the support from DH and you ladies on HB I feel so much better about it and thanks -
@doxielove: ughhh AF is so much worse now that I'm off BC. Feel ya lady
@Bao: EEEeeeKKK! How fun -
@doxielove: thats how mine were coming off BC. Im so sorry
have some ibuprofen and wine! -
@LovelyPlum: I feel pretty normal! Sore nips, little more tired but not sleeping well, scary cramping.
wondering if morning sickness is right around the corner... Thank you for asking!! -
@Bao: Ooooohhh... exciting!
-
@Bao: woohooo!
-
Broke down and tested this morning at 10 dpo. Absolutely nothing and now I'm kicking myself for testing early. Still trying to be hopeful.
-
@Bao: I didn't know you were ready to try, that is so exciting!
-
@LovelyPlum: Sorry you have a bit to wait. AF stinks for sure!
-
@runsyellowlites: Good luck! Are you going to try again tonight just in case?
-
@mrs. 64: patience, grasshopper
But really, waiting is the worst. Hang in there, it is still early!!!
-
@mrs. 64: i feel your pain, I broke down and tested early as well, fully knowing that it was too early and probably going to get a negative.
@doxielove: Hope you feel better soon and that this is mother natures way of giving you one last horrible AF before a BFP!Question for you ladies. This TWW has started to make me anxious. I felt sort of like a Buddha for a while and thought I could hold it together, but have slowly started emotionally breaking down. Yesterday I had a small bit of pinkish spotting, only could tell it was there when I swiped. Then that afternoon I got horribly nauseous and threw up that night. Then this morning I got some brownish spotting. I usually never spot inbetween AF's and my cycles have been very regular since I have been off BC for about 6 months. Currently I am at about DPO 7 (not 100% sure) and CD 19. Thoughts on maybe this is implantation bleeding or symptom spotting or just generally going crazy?
-
@T.H.O.U.: we are kind of just going with it and will see what happens. We were planning to officially start late August/early September so if it doesn't happen before that we will actually try then. I'm still nursing so not sure if that will affect things or not, we shall see!
-
@T.H.O.U.: We were gonna but then didn't... I did totally wake him this morning before heading out for a meeting though. Lol Hopefully this morning would still be good for our window. I read that yesterday & today were the days to try for a boy!
-
@LindsayInNY: Ugh lucky! The reason I went on the pill was to lighten my flow/cramps and now my teenage years pre-BCP are coming screaming back to me lol.
@LovelyPlum: I can put you down as a lurker/POAS encourager
Yes, I really hope I won't be here in August but I have a sneaking suspicion I will...@Bao: Yay for NTNP!
@MSBartlett: I like your way of thinking!! Yes, maybe mother nature is giving me 1 more whopper of an AF before my BFP ;-)@MSBartlett: Hmm, it would seem that 7dpo would be too early for pre-AF spotting (well, I guess that depends on a pattern of previous cycles - do you normally spot prior to AF?)
have some ibuprofen and wine!
