@peachykeen: Ha! DH bday is Sept 3, and that's my o date as well. We were cool until you said Florida Gators though. We went to UGA!

@dc yoga bee: That's really funny - my DH birthday is 9/2! We're in Atlanta area now and definitely not hardcore UF fans (both went there but didn't meet until we were in GA). Maybe we can find common ground in the Braves

Cycle Day: 18
TTC Cycle: 14
Ovulation Date: temping says it was 8/25, a little later than usual (CD 14). I'm convinced my stress levels from work influence this. I had a major presentation the day I typically ovulate.
POAS Date: 9/10
Baby #: 1

For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? college football! Though I don't get into it a ton. Games are sooo long. I do cheer on my alma mater.

For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? We don't really watch sports or have favorite sports teams. We do like to watch the surf competitions, I guess my favorite surfer is John John Florence.

@jhd: I had a crazy long (well for me) cycle last one which was my first post IUD. 5 and a bit weeks. Did you have a period on mirena?
@dc yoga bee: Thanks for making the thread.
I started taking my OPK's hoping I would O early but they have been STARK white so far.

I'm hoping to join in this month but I'm not sure what the scoop on my cycle is because I just miscarried after a blighted ovum.
Cycle Day: no clue! 10 days after natural miscarriage
TTC Cycle: 2
Ovulation Date: ???
POAS Date: ???
Baby #: 2
What's up this month: I am super eager to get this show on the road and I'll be trying opks to help figure out what's going on. In the non baby making vein we're looking forward to fall activities, apple picking and cider mills!
For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? I guess the Orioles or Red Wings but I'm not exactly a die hard fan.

@Banana330: I did not have a period with Mirena. Maybe I am being optimistic, but I'm hoping things go back to normal quickly.
nectarine / 2317 posts
@jhd: ya i had no issues last IUD pre kids. But this one has been a different story. Hoping that's not the case for you but don't freak out and read the scary internet stories if your cycle is a bit longer or irregular!
grapefruit / 4649 posts
@Banana330: I had a mirena before my first and I remember that the first few cycles were a bit weird, the first being the strangest. I took vitex my 5th cycle and that's when I got pregnant so hopefully it's helpful for you! I rarely got my period on it, more like spotting and not perfectly on time either.
nectarine / 2317 posts
@Cole: Sorry for your loss. The first cycle of MC is always a bit hard.
I was find last time and I really thought I would be this time too but alas. It's only been two months since I got it out but it feels like forever in TTC-land.
grapefruit / 4770 posts
@Cole: I am so sorry for your loss 
@jhd: I did not have a period on mirena, and was on it for about 8 months after DD. My luetal phase is now only 8 days, but, breastfeeding for 13 months may have had something to do with it. This is my second month since my daughter weaned.
I'll get the list going when I get home from work!
coconut / 8079 posts
@Banana330: @Cole: @dc yoga bee: thanks for sharing your experiences with the Mirena. It's helpful.
I had spotting over the weekend which has turned into AF as of today so I'm hoping I can POAS at the end of the month. This might be the only time I will ever be excited to start my period!

Cycle Day: 7
TTC Cycle: 2nd cycle that I've been tracking where I can see I'm ovulating post BF.
Ovulation Date: based on my last cycle, probably around sept 9-11th in there!

Baby #: 2
What's up this month: If I would get pregnant this cycle, LO1's bday would be right around the due date!
For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? Packers!!!

I'll follow along this month as a cheerleader!
We're offically ttc, but I just got my first af last week at 12 months pp, so I have no clue if my body is going to be 'normal' right away, especially since I'm still breastfeeding too.
Good luck everyone!

Hi Everyone!
Cycle Day: 23
TTC Cycle: 8
Ovulation Date: Temping says 8/21
POAS Date: 9/5
Baby #: 1
What's up this month: Have been temping, trying to relax. I'm a teacher and today was the first day of school, so that was exciting. Nice to have this new group of little humans to distract me!
For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team?
I am a life long, die-hard Denver Broncos fan. But I have also adopted the Orioles,

Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle: 2
Ovulation Date: 8/28 CD 14
POAS Date: 9/11
Baby #: 2
What's up this month: Chart is looking awesome (in my opinion) and I duplicated my herbal supplement plan that helped me succeed in our first pregnancy. EPO days 5-11, stop, will use Progesterone cream once my temp stays up. FF says we should test 9/8, but I think that'll give undue stress so I'm waiting until 9/11 because we have a wedding the day before.
For Fun: I'm a Cincinnati Reds fan because I love going to the games. Our town is so loyal to our own teams, it makes it enjoyable.

Cycle Day: 11
TTC Cycle: Hell if I know. We've been trying for almost a year. But many of those cycles hubbys times home didn't coincide with when I'm fertile. But I" am right now, and hubby is home for 9 days!!!
Ovulation Date: Tomorrow, maybe. Not really tracking other than when I get my flow each month.
POAS Date: Sep 15th
Baby #: 2
What's up this month: Hubby got home Thursday night after being away for 48 days, so we planned to go like bunnies, lol. But I ended up sick Saturday and Still am today, mostly nauseous in the evenings. Hubby jokes maybe I'm knocked up already. I know that's highly unlikely, although we've all read about women who knew after only two days, lol
For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? Hubby Loves Toronto Maple Leafs!

@Banana330: @dc yoga bee: Thanks ladies, it's definitely a bit of an emotional roller coaster.

Hi! Hello! I've only just discovered HB this month and have been reading over so many posts which has both helped and fuelled my neurosis during my first TWW!
CD/POAS: August was my first time using OPKs and I'm unsure of my day of ovulation. I've already tried 3 pregnancy tests which I know are way too early and have run out! I feel I'm not quite ready to set myself a 'real' POAS date and post about it but want to support everyone on here this month as this thread is helping me!
Baby: #1
What's up this month? Hubby and I have just returned from an epic 5 week holiday switching between so many different time zones has hit me with serious jetlag I have to sort out before I start the new school year.
Sports team? Huge rugby (Union) fan - we both support my local team as well as Wales.

I'm going to join you ladies. I'm not at all a frequent poster but this whole TTC process has made me a full time lurker. Figured it was time I join in
Cycle Day: 5
TTC Cycle: 4
Ovulation Date: 9/9-9/11?
POAS Date: I'm going to try to hold out until 9/22. We'll see
Baby #: 2
What's up this month: This will be my first month ever charting. Did OPKs last month for the first time as well. With LO1 and my m/c back in January, I was lucky enough to get pregnant on the first month so this is my first real experience with TTC.
For Fun: As homage to Fall sports- what's you or your partner's favorite sports team? DH is a huge Philly sports fan. Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and Sixers. I'll root for them too but in all honesty, I don't really care that much

I tested again today even though I tried to hold out until longer. I hope I won't be be like this for the next cycles, it's kinda taken over me - can anyone tell me how they found their first ttw? Does your approach/attitude generally change in any way? It's probably worse because I'm still in my last week of the school holiday and don't have work to distract me yet. Thanks x
coconut / 8079 posts
@Tubbs: are you a teacher? I am and we TTC LO during my summer break in 2014. It was definitely a lot more on my mind without work to distract me!

@bibliolove: Thanks for the encouragement
@jhd: I'm a high school English teacher and our new year starts on Monday. I got started on some planning work tonight and helped. I think I'm also worrying about how hectic life becomes during term-time and whether I can keep track of my cycle etc. My husband is also a teacher. What do you teach? X
