Cycle Day: 2
TTC Cycle #: 13 (or 14?)
Ovulation and POAS dates: I'm on Letrozole this cycle, so I actually have no idea when I'll O. Last two cycles it was CD21 then CD23, ugh! Good news was my LP shot up to 14 days after months of being at 9, yay. So let's call my POAS May 19th, DH's bday 
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Medicated IUI (first timer). Letrozole CD3-7, bloodwork and monitoring CD10, Ovidrel trigger shot.
And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live?
Tulips always signal spring to me, and they're so simple and pretty and colorful. After the long winter we had in New England, I get giddy these days when I see them pop their heads up out of the earth!

I love calla lilies, but it's a little too harsh for them here in the desert! They do bloom year round if you have them in the perfect conditions with lots of water.

TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation and POAS dates: I'm guessing that I'm going to O around 5/3, and POAS around 5/14.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Second round on Clomid, first time on 100mg. Temping, charting, and using the CBFM. I'm also using red raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil for the first time, mostly to give myself a false sense of control.

And just for fun… The dogwoods and forsythia are out in full bloom in my neighborhood, and they're beautiful! My favorite are peonies, but they won't be out for a while.

@YogiRunner: this cycle will be my first time with Femara and iui as well
Cycle Day: 3
TTC Cycle #: 15?
Ovulation and POAS dates: I'm not really sure since this is my first medicated cycle. Assuming I will POAS May 19 or so.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Femara with Ovidrel trigger and IUI.
And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live? I have this pink flowering tree in my front yard (Dogwood?) that I love! Should be in full bloom in a couple weeks!

Cycle Day: 16
TTC Cycle #: 21
Ovulation and POAS dates: Had positive OPK on 4/21, so probably ovulated 4/22 or today. I'll POAS on 5/6
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: We are on a hiatus between interventions as I wait for my first RE appointment on 5/19. We are doing various supplements, including FertieCM and FertileAid for Men. I have unexplained infertility, so will keep trying and had great timing this cycle. I even ovulated on a more normal schedule that I did when taking letrozole.

Your plan this month: get DH a bit more on board with the BD plan. Sometimes I think he forgets this takes his participation ....
Chart link: I drove myself crazy with temping three years ago so until I hit cycle 6, I am avoiding it.

I love flowering trees like Cherry Blossums but really any kind of tree that pops up with flowers in the Spring. Nothing here yet. We had sleet yesterday. Ugh. Go home winter! You're drunk!!!

Ovulation and POAS dates: TBD
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: temping, green tea and mucinex... after trying for 11 cycles for #1, this is what worked for us. DH was pretty unsure about trying for #2 for awhile, so I don't want to go too crazy and freak him out.
And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live? I love tulips! We just bought a new house last summer and I was excited to see some lovely purple tulips pop up this spring.

I don't really have a favorite, but we planted tulips last fall and totally forgot about them until they popped us a week or two ago. It was a lovely surprise!

TTC Cycle #: 9
Ovulation and POAS dates: I should O today or tomorrow/ POAS May 9th
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: I started acupuncture as well as taking Fish Oil. As of this week I'm also cutting out as much refined sugar as I can manage. I got a positive OPK yesterday (CD13), which is way earlier than usual, so our BD timing isn't going to be the greatest, but we got a try in tonight and last night, and hopefully tomorrow night too.

And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live? I love both tulips and dahlias. Tulips for me signal warmth and spring, and I've always loved dahlias. I've getting a few tulip buds!

Cycle Day: 16
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: Pretty sure I o'd on the 21 or 22-not temping, so guessing from opks. I'll try to hold off POAS until May 1 (which will still be a little early).
Baby #: 2 (DD is 20 months)
Your plan this month: We used Opks, pre-seed, and as much BD as we could swing!
And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live? The cherry blossoms are out in full force in the Pacific North West!

Your plan this month: I'm using OPKs and trying to temp
And just for fun… What is your favorite flower/tree/plant and are they blooming where you live? Growing up we had a Magnolia tree, so for me that's always the signal that spring is here! They are blooming where I live but unfortunately this week hasn't felt very spring-like-- we had some snow yesterday!

Cycle Day: 11
TTC Cycle #: 7, but month 10
Ovulation and POAS dates: O sometime next week, testing something around mothers day may 10..... I'll start testing at 10 dpo, but not believe it is official until 12 dpo.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: metformin, clomid CD2-6, progesterone, twice daily OPKs plus CB monitor, mucinex
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/DD88
Clomid is making my temps CRAZY this month, it's so annoying! Typically I have very consistent, almost flat temperatures... Always 97.2-97.5 before ovulation, and then 97.7 or higher afterwards. as you can see from the chart, that's not happening this month! I fear it's going to make it really difficult to pinpoint O. also, on Wednesday we just got word back that my husband's morphology is 1.5%, so I have very little hope for this cycle.
Favorite flowering plant: I forget how to spell this one and I can't look it up right now... bougainvillea? ?
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@DesertDreams88: just FYI, I can't see your chart, but I didn't take my temps while taking the clomid. I started on like cd9 or 10. You should ovulate 7-10days after you finish the Clomid, my dr. said. Also, clomid can cause a false positive in an OPK if taken within a couple days of finishing clomid.

@travellingbee: Thank you! It's my first time on any sort of meds too so I'm a little nervous. I start taking Letrozole tonight... And I believe congratulations are in order for you?? Saw your earlier thread, wishing you all the best! 
@desertdreams88: I'm sorry to hear about your DH's morphology, but I still have hope for you And those flowers are GORGEOUS - love the colors!

@YogiRunner: chicago here! It was sleeting and I almost cried. Getting better though. This is why you never buy Cubs tickets in April. Heh.

Wishing everyone luck this month!
I stopped my birth control 2 days ago mid pack, so I don't think I'll be POAS in May as everything will be regulating, but I may officially join June!
Until then, following along and sending positive thoughts!

@travellingbee: I fixed my chart link, what do you think? I normally dont temp for the first week of my cycle but my doctor wanted me to (probably because he normally works with patients who are new to charting.) My last day of clomid was day 6 and my first OPK was yesterday on day 10. All of them that have been negative, as expected.

@DesertDreams88: I think you've got a few days at least. I've never surged before my triggers at cd13 and cd 14. (Then again I took it (5-9)You got a high reading on a monitor?
