Cycle Day: 18 (5 DPO)
TTC Cycle #: 4
Ovulation date: Septemeber 21 - CD13
POAS date: October 1-2 (I won't POAS until I'm actually late).
Baby #: 1

Your plan this month: This was the first month I started using OPKs (I've been just temping) and I feel like we timed things really well. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but I had a large temp dip this morning (5 DPO) that I wonder if it might be in implantation dip. It seems a little early maybe, but I don't know.

Hi ladies! Going to try to keep up with both this thread and the 6+ thread this month.
Cycle Day: 4
TTC Cycle #: 14
Ovulation date: 8 October
POAS date: 22 October (day AF is due)
Baby #: 2 (lo is 2)

Your plan this month: Back to OPKs this month (didn't use them last month as wanted more of a stress-free month after a m/c. Drink more water, exercise. Trying to give it a bit longer before getting referred to a fertility clinic.

Good luck this month ladies!

Just got a positive OPK this morning on CD21! This is the earliest i've ever gotten one! Hopefully i'll O tonight/tomorrow and have a longer then 7 day LP!

HALLELUJAH! I FINALLY got a solid smiley today on CD23, after twelve days of blinking ones. Taking B6 this month really threw my cycle for a loop, but at least it seems like I'm going to ovulate. Once I got into the double-digit days of blinking smiley OPKs I was convinced I wouldn't O at all.

Cycle Day: 23
TTC Cycle #: 6
Ovulation and POAS dates: Probably 9/28 or 9/29; 10/10
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: We tried to really step up our BD game this month and have been doing it EOD since CD8 (what a month to O a week late!!!). I think we gave it our best effort. If we don't get a BFP this month, we're going to take a two-month break so my due date won't conflict with a family wedding next year, and I think we will probably use that time to get some basic testing done too.

I'll join.

Cycle Day: 26
TTC Cycle #: 3 (but October is month 6 when we started this process that milestone seemed a really far out)
Ovulation and POAS dates: TBD, hopefully
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: No real plan. Long cycles really mess up any plan I have. So just BD a lot and temp until I confirm O. DH is going out of town next week, so with my luck that's when I'll O.

Good luck everyone!

I love the month of October-staying positive!

Cycle Day: 1
TTC Cycle #: 6
Ovulation and POAS dates: 10/15 for O, and 10/30 for POAS. Looking forward to a normal 30 day cycle after a tough 51 day last month.
Baby #: 1!
Your plan this month: BD EOD, temping, bcomplex, balance supplement with chaste berry, progesterone, and new this time- an herbal remedy for stress (all from naturopath). On my end- light exercise, yoga, and relaxation. Maybe considering soft cups? I need to read into it a bit more.

Good luck this month everyone

So I may be going bananas but this tww sucks and I am the worst symptom spotter. It has been weird though that for the past couple days my temperatures have been really all over the place. I haven't actually taken my temp, but definitely having highs and lows, way more highs than lows. I will randomly heat up and start sweating everywhere. Even at the gym for the past couple days I have never sweat so hard in my life and I have backed off the intensity of my workouts! I am only 6dpo (I think). Am I going crazy? I have other symptom spotting but it hasn't been as persistent as this.

So I don't normally symptom spot much (partly because my body doesn't give me much to spot!) but I couldn't help but notice how exhausted I was today (6 DPO). I got 8-9 hours of sleep last night and had a pretty chill day but I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30pm! So not like me (bedtime is usually midnight or later).

Oh - and I don't know why I said my POAS date was the 1st or 2nd in my first post. It is definitely the 5th or 6th. Early pregnancy brain perhaps!

@angelachase: wow! That is a ton of flashing smiles. I chose to use the regular CB instead of the advanced because I figured the flashing faces would stress me out.

@angelachase: oh no! What about when you guys wake up??

@angelachase: uggggh that must be so aggravating! Try to jump him this morning! I also missed out on a prime BD day because my husband (who never gets sick) happened to get sick at work and sent home and pretty much couldn't function as a person. I know its obviously not his fault but when you have super long/annoying cycles and you have to skip a prime day, its so frustrating.

@Mrs. J: @hellobeeboston: @MissLace: Yeah, there's still today, but I usually O the day after a solid smiley--but with missing last night on an EOD schedule, we'll have only gotten O-3 and O. Better than nothing, but not exactly a slam dunk.

Cycle Day: CD8
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation and POAS dates: I have been ovulating on CD 16 the past 2 months, so I will probably ovulate on 10/06 and POAS on 10/20
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Using OPK's and making sure we BD enough around ovulation like we have been doing the past 2 months.

I would love some opinions on what you think might be up with my current cycle.

Ok, so yesterday was day 10 of flashing smiley faces. Like a good little TTCer, DH and I BDed last night. When we were finished, it appeared that AF had made an appearance. I was really disappointed, mad at the CB ovulation test, but my silver lining was that since it was CD30, my cycle was getting back to pre-baby instead of the long cycles PP.

This morning, nothing. No AF, no cramps, like it never happened. I'm so confused about what is going on. Thoughts?

@angelachase what a bummer! You're right it isn't the slam dunk you hoped for, but it can still happen. Stay hopeful!

I am excited to finally be testing at the beginning of the month. Hoping there are lots of early positives. I think my chart is looking pretty good, but this is the first month I have temped, so I don't really know.

We are just getting started but I love the community here and am excited to be a part of it.

Cycle Day: 12
TTC Cycle #: 1st
Ovulation and POAS dates: 9/30, around 10/15
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Taking a more relaxed approach and trying to have have fun and see what happens.

@jaguar: Same here! Seems like a lot of us from the loss board are. Maybe that is a lucky sign?! I decided to not use OPKS this month (since DH and I decided on that.) If I have inclinations that I am O - ing , I will definitely get down but just *try* to be chill about it

@Jone0603: Your chart looks really good!

@YogiRunner: So, does that work out to O-2, O O+1 and O+2?

@YogiRunner: Wow, that's about the most perfect timing ever! I would only BD one more day *maybe* but I think you probably got it.

Cycle Day: 24
TTC Cycle #: w
Ovulation and POAS dates: not entirely sure when I o'ed, we were away for a beach weekend around day 14 (after what I thought was a positive opk) but cm and temps didn't corroborate that being the day I o'ed. I'm tentatively going to poas oct 2nd.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: being on vacation around my usual o date meant lots of bd'ing so we will see. Trying to take a relaxed approach to our first few cycles ttc.
