Hellobee Boards

I will probably be here shortly, I am waiting to POAS again till March 2nd, As 10DPO and 9 DPO were bfn, but AF is set to arrive March 1st.

FX that March brings luck and BFPs!

Cycle Day: cd15
TTC Cycle #: 9
POAS Date: blood test at re is 3/14 but I'll test sooner, maybe 3/11 (it's a significant date for me so maybe it'll bring good luck) and march is also my birthday month!!
Baby #: 2
Your plan: this was our third medicated cycle with re and ti. Clomid, gonal f, ovidrel, estrace and progesterone.
If you found a real pot of gold, what's one thing (not fertility related) that you would splurge on? Great question!!! New furniture, landscaping our yard and a new wardrobe (my pot was very big)

Cycle Day: CD 20/3 DPO
TTC Cycle #: 3+ years
POAS Date: March 8th!
Baby #: 1
Your plan: This is our 2nd IUI cycle. Protocol was letrozole CD 5-9. IUI took place Friday AM. Starting P tonight.
If you found a real pot of gold, what's one thing (not fertility related) that you would splurge on? I'm going to have to agree w/ @Crystal. A MUCH needed vaca! We haven't gone on any sort of vacation in...2 years? 3 years? I don't remember!

Poking my head in here -- I think I'm past the 'regular' POAS board, unfortunately.

Cycle Day: CD18/1dpo
TTC Cycle #: 10, I think
POAS Date: I'm going to try to hold out 'till 10dpo at least, so 3/9.
Baby #: 2
Your plan: We didn't have awesome timing this month -- just O-3 and O-2. This is our first month being able to try again, thanks to some medical advice. We're moving past three losses since we started trying, so I'm just really hoping to get pregnant and STAY pregnant, but I know we have a specialist referral in and if all else fails maybe that'll help when it actually happens!
Other than that I'm trying to stay zen. If this month doesn't work I think I'll be okay, namely because I've already thought of a few reasons why I'm ok not having a November baby.

I would pay a contractor to finish our bathroom renovation. I miss my bathtub!

Cycle Day: 26
TTC Cycle #: 7
POAS Date: 3/5?
Baby #: 1
Your plan: I don't have any clear evidence that I ovulated yet this cycle. No positive OPK, temperature is bumpy. My past two cycles I had clear evidence of O on CD 16/17. I used up all my Clear Blues and switched to the cheaper Wondfo, but then I couldn't tell if I was looking at a positive on day 25 or not. It was too close to call, and I'm inexperienced with using them, so I'm not sure. That would be a super late O for me. I also had EWCM and spotting mid-cycle. Either O didn't happen, my testing was flawed, or maybe I actually will see my temp finally rise the next few days?? Plan is to keep doing what we've been doing. I keep being told by my doctor and everyone that I've not been trying long enough to raise any red flags. But we will get my husband tested here next, just to rule it out.
If you found a real pot of gold, what's one thing (not fertility related) that you would splurge on? Definitely spot on with the other ladies here. An awesome vacation! With lots of lounging and sun.

Cycle Day: I'm not sure, but I'm 14 dpo

TTC Cycle #: More than two years' worth, but I don't know how many cycles that is.

POAS Date: Tomorrow if AF doesn't show up. And every other day after that.

Baby #: Live, 1. I've had two loses (early MC and stillbirth)

Your plan: I'm working with a NaPro doctor and undergoing a hormone panel this month (they took blood every other day from CD 5 to 11 dpo to follow the rise and fall of hormones and have a better picture than just a 7dpo test). After that, we'll consult with the doctor to see how she might want to treat any deficiencies. It also included a thyroid panel.

If you found a real pot of gold, what's one thing (not fertility related) that you would splurge on? Clothes. I am in desperate need. I'm like the disheveled new mother because my pre-pregnancy clothes form before my last pregnancy don't fit the same as they used to. I'm still wearing one of the short panel pair of maternity pants to work.

So AF arrived...

Cycle Day: CD1
TTC Cycle #: 11
POAS Date: Mach 27th
Baby #: 1
Your plan: EOD in window, pre-natals, clomid, pre-seed, and just trying to stay positive.

If I found a pot of gold, I would one save for fertility treatments if we need them and two a beautiful vacation to europe or somewhere tropical. I think a vacation would do me some good.

@MaryM:

Good luck this month ladies

@MaryM: how weird. Hate when things that are suppose to clarify don't. Keep us posted.

And...guess who showed up last night?

Still not sure what the rising E2 was all about, but hopefully I'll find out more from my doctor in a couple weeks.

@doxielove: I have a follow up with my doctor to go over my hormone panel for this past cycle in a couple of weeks. Our next steps will depend on that meeting. I'm assuming I'll be back on some sort of post peak hormone support.

@winnie13 GL tomorrow! Hoping for some fat follies!
@doxielove thanks for the tip. I feel like such a newb. I went ahead and kept testing with the wondfos everyday and confirmed w the clear blues. So, thanks! Hoping for a BFP for you in a few days!

Today is CD 32. My cycles have been 24-32 days with 8 day LP. I was consistently O'ing on the 15th day, except for this cycle. I started to feel silly about OPK testing this last week because of how seriously negative they were and how jumpy my temp was being. I thought ok, maybe O'd and just didn't get a positive OPK. My crazy temps said otherwise. I fell into the trap of POAS every other day because of the cheap wondfos that I just bought. Funny, but I was taking both pregnancy and ovulation a tests in the same day! Anyways, this morning I woke up and almost didn't OPK test because I was so tired of it and I was like "on CD 32, what am I doing?" But I went ahead with it. Was laying in bed drinking coffee and forgot to look at my wandfo for a few mins. Imagine my surprise when I finally glanced at it to see that it was positive!!!? I confirmed with clear blue. Big ole smiley. It's weird to think my period should be here any min. and then I ovulate instead. I'll be watching for the temp spike the next few days. I'm just hoping that my LP allows enough time for implantation. I think my progesterone must be low. If AF comes, I'm getting a blood test on my thyroid.

Is it bad that most of my cycles are 25-30 and now this one is looking to be 40??

@delight: yes I am! Remote northern Ontario so waiting for a referral to a Thunder Bay OB to go through.

Hey ladies! Sorry for being MIA. I needed a small break after my Edd last week and then work got crazy again.

I hope everyone is doing well! I'm trying to reply to each of you, but for some reason my phone won't let me.

I'm hanging out at 8DPO. My temps have been fairly low, so I'm not sure what to expect.

@delight: the NP I was seeing told me about three months -- I have friends who were referred to Winnipeg instead and I think theirs was a bit quicker but apparently the clinic there is less than ideal for a lot of people. So I'm willing to wait!

@Crystal:

@Winnie13: Yay for two good follies!! fingers crossed for you!!

AFM, I am just hanging out here in the TWW trying not to symptom spot bc that makes me crazy... but by not symptom spotting I am now worried that maybe no symptoms is a bad thing oh the joys of TTC!!! I am 10 dpo today and I am hoping to hold out until fri to poas.
