I'll be here mainly as a cheerleader since I still don't know what's going on with my body. I'm waiting until af to arrive before ordering opks. We're trying for baby number 2 (lo is 18 months old) and this will be our 9th month ttc. Hoping to see lots of bfps this month

@HLK208: @FaithFertility: @ChiCalGoBee: thank you!
@MrsStar: i hope things get figured out soon and you can join in with us - but happy to have you as a cheerleader for now
@sorrycharlie: nice! I'm not really sure when I'm O-ing either, first time trying OPKs so I'm excited to see.
@googly-eyes: awesome, so glad to have you here! i joined HB pregnant with DS as well, so it's nice to go through it from the very beginning this time
@Crystal: we should POAS on the same day, May 6!! My anniversary is in May, and it's Mother's Day... I really hope this is our month

I might be joining.... I am not sure. This month is my first month off BCP and I don't know what's going on with my cycle. Today is CD 33 with no sign of my period. Pregnancy tests are negative. I have no idea if I ovulated or not. I had irregular cycles before going on BCP so I think I am just going to have a long, weird cycle.
But anyway, IF I get my period in the next week or so... then I might be POAS at the end of May... or not... LOL!

@sorrycharlie: eeeeeeeeeeep!!! So amazing to see you here honey. I hope you have a short stay
Still waiting for day 3 of spotting to turn into full force AF but when it does ill add my stats. I do plan on keeping it super low key this month. We will see how it feels to do that.
nectarine / 2079 posts
AF should be here later this week then I can give a random guess to when I will ovulate and add my stats. Come on May and may we all have BFPs!

I'm super excited for this month! I don't know why... Maybe because I'm almost out of the pre-O TWW! It's really way worse than the regular TWW...

@sorrycharlie: Bummer! We just figured Jan 21st or so was close enough, haha. But we have sort of toyed with the idea of a Jan 2015 baby since lo was about five months old, too. And it doesn't get that cold here (no snow.)

Ugh! Ladies I am having the most frustrating cycle right now! I am 10DPO and still spotting! I have a decent amount of old brown with a bit of beet red mixed in and clotty stuff going on but no full bleed. This is so bizarre for me. Perhaps it's a sign of my LP trying to stabilize since I've cut way back on nursing. I have no idea. All I know is I continue to have this, feel like I am pregnant and BFN. I spotted only the teensiest bit with my son. I am very convinced AF is on her way and I just wish she would do her thing already and stop confusing me and giving me tiny twinges of false hope. She is such a witch. This is my third say of spotting and normally i spot no more than 2 days. its also the first time i have made it to 10DPO without full AF. Has anyone else experienced this?
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@MrsMccarthy: I haven't had that specific thing but my body has definitely played some tricks on me in the past and it really is frustrating. I didn't read the april thread, did you test already? It does sound like your body is a little out of whack because of the nursing since you did just recently cut back. Maybe it just takes a little while to stabilize? That would be my best guess. Hang in there!

@googly-eyes: jealous of your weather, haha! pretty sure it was "winter" here til like..two weeks ago.
