Hellobee Boards

@Torchwood: @mrs. tictactoe: That makes three of us with a 5th anniversary on 5/23! It was a beautiful day to get married! We went on a fun weekend trip back in March & stayed in a hotel in the downtown of our city. It was a really fun and relaxing way to celebrate early!

@HeartAbandoned: now I'm wishing we got married in May! I'm coming up to 5 years too but we got married in August.

Wow 3 people with the EXACT same anniversary aka married the same day on this thread. So weird. But also very wow what a small world feeling too.

I was married on 10/10/10 and it so happens we ran into acquaintances the day after we got married and they were married in the same place at the same day as us. Our ceremony had 6 couples getting married that day! What a small world that we kind of knew one of the other couples.

We will be at our 2 year anniversary in November, but it will be our 10 year dating anniversary.

@Crystal: I've been married two years and was married on my 10 year dating anniversary!! Such similarities, us two!

DH and I just celebrated our 10-year dating anniversary. It's interesting to see that so many of us have been together so long... it's a sick twist of fate that you would be committed for so long, wait to start a family, and then... not be able to. DH and I started TTC about 6 months after we got married, and DD took her sweet time showing up. BUT, I will say (disclaimer: super judgmental statement ahead) that we were *soooooooo* much better prepared to be parents than our friends who got KU easily. Because it took us so long to conceive, we knew we *really* wanted a baby and we were very ready to make the sacrifices that entails. Some of our friends, not so much. So there is a silver lining to IF after all!! Just think how insanely excited you will be to give up cocktails out and weekends away and last minute trips to the beach! (dripping with sarcasm)

@LindsayInNY: Wow. That's fast.

Our 4-year anniversary is also in September!

@septca: @littlek: I know... I guess "when you know"? That's not like SIL at all so I know she's not just settling or rushing into marriage. She's 29 1/2 and had a savings account to eventually do IUI/IVF on her own and become a single mom. She's very "I am woman, hear me roar" and everything. It's just so crazy!!

Reposting for this page and adding myself to NTNP, since I guess that's what I am doing:

@Raindrop: What happens if you take out your CD20 temp?

@Raindrop: What about adding future temps in? I'm wondering if you Oed on CD22 instead of CD19. CD19 seems suspect since you continued to have + OPKs. Sometimes FF does that... Right now I still have crosshairs for CD15 and I *know* I didn't O then. In another day or two, they should move to CD17. I'm wondering if that'll happen to you?

@MrsMcD: I know! I love it!

@septca: How do you time that with BDing? Using Wandfo OPKs, I had such a slow lead in with almost positives that I was BDing in preparation. With the new Babi brand I just got, it was a BAM- POSITIVE, which I didn't expect, so BD timing was off. Do you just start BDing as soon as you get any substantial color?

I love how many chart experts we have on here!

@Crystal: I am not someone who gets much lead-in on OPKs (maybe 12 hours max?). I try to predict it through CM, but honestly I think if you just make sure you can hit the day of the OPK+ and the next day or so you're still in good shape.

@Crystal: I used wondfos 2x/day when I was close to my window (reasonably predictable at cd15-18). for example this last cycle, I took one with FMU that was pretty dark but not positive, after days of light lines. by evening I had a full positive. this cycle we had a lot going on so we didn't BD until that day.

@bhbee: How often do you check CM?

I was using the Babi once a day until I got a susbstantial line, but I think I missed my surge. I think I need to use them more often this next month.

YAYAYAYA! Congrats!!!!!

@Crystal: I used to check a couple times a day, though I can't remember it ever changing in the course of a day. TMI but the best time to check is right after a BM, since it kind of moves it down. some people are totally grossed out by checking CM but it doesn't bother me.

eta: this cycle I took allergy meds and didn't have an CM worth checking . . . but usually I will get EWCM around the same time as my OPK+.

@bhbee: yay for good betas

@Mrs.Panda: Nope, I got a rejection letter for that too! It's been that kind of a week.

My BFF just had her baby today and I get to go snuggle her tiny goodness. So bittersweet.
