    Hi everybody! I'm joining in!

    CD: 5

    Cycle #: 4 (got a faint positive last week but AF showed the day after, I'm still pretty bummed about it so I guess I'm more into TTC than I've been willing to admit! Guess that's why I'm joining again!)

    Ovulation & POAS-dates: O = June 5, POAS = June 17

    Baby #: 2

    Game plan this month: I'll be using OPK's to track my fertile window and try to BD as much as possible I guess! No temping or charting for me this time around, DS1 is making us feel the 9 month sleep regression and I'm too exhausted to remember the thermometer! Also, since I'm up every hour of the night I wouldn't know when to take my "waking" temp anyway!

    Chart link: n/a

    @MrsMccarthy: Since I'm not sure when exactly I Od, I'm going by day 1 of my period--which would put my EDD at February 8th!

    Hi and good luck!

    CD: 1

    Cycle #: 3

    Ovulation & POAS-dates: Cycles still regulating coming off BCP but I'll estimate O around June 11 and POAS June 25

    Baby #: 1

    Game plan this month: I will use OPKs again and BD as much as possible. I might have to eat lots of ice cream too based on @MaryM's article!

    @Circusbee: Same here! That's actually my husband's birthday too, so I think that would be kinda fun.

    @KelLeeLeee: Thanks! I wish AF would just get on with it already. Oh, and I just walled you.

    @simplyfelicity: Have you thought about testing again?

    I keep getting excited today because I am thinking I'm noticing my boobs aching....and then I remember I went to Body Pump at the gym yesterday and did a bunch of chest presses! Symptom spotting is just too tempting!

    cantaloupe / 6634 posts

    @angelachase: Seriously, symptom spotting is the worst. I really hope it means something for you!

    AFM, I only have one more test for this cycle. If I do test again, I will wait until this Saturday, but it seems very likely that AF will show before then.

    Thanks @Kelleeleee and @mrsmccarthy! My EDD would be Feb 9th... And since there is only a week til my POAS date, I'm trying to keep busy so I don't obsess about symptoms!

    My LO is graduating from preschool this week so I have a feeling it's going to be an emotional week for me

    Good Luck ladies......

    Cycle day: 20
    Cycle #: 11

    POAS dates: 11/06
    Baby #: 1
    Your game plan this month: Go with the flow, if its meant to be it will be.

    @simplyfelicity: On OPKs, after your thread last month, I decided to stick with cheap OPKs (Wandfos) and verify with the CBE digitals. I'm SO glad I did! I found Wandfos easier to read than CVS tests, and I thought my surge ended early based on Wandfos, but the digital said it was still positive. I bought a box of 7 but only used 2 this month, so I don't really think the expense is all that bad either.

    @As Time Goes By: The one day DH and I didn't BD this weekend, I figured it'd be a good idea to eat some ice cream just in case. lol!

    If we conceive this month, our EDD would be Feb. 14 ♥

    I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but our timing was spot on! That day I woke DH up last week? That ended up being O-3. And then we hit O-1 and O over the weekend. Our anniversary is tomorrow so getting KU would be like the BEST present ever!

    But, I only got dotted crosshairs on FF. I'm pretty sure it's because I was sick last weekend, but I hate not having a true confirmation of O since I've had so much going on with my ovaries (cyst wise).

    Now...to get through the next 11 days without going insane...

    Hi ladies! I'm joining from the May board! Good luck to everyone!

    Cycle day: CD3

    Cycle #: 2

    Ovulation & POAS dates: O- June 8, POAS June 23 The last few cycles my O date has been between CD12-CD18 so that puts it from June 5 - June 11 so my POAS date may change depending.

    Baby #: 1

    Your game plan this month: Charting, BD EOD, monitoring CM, possibly OPKs but they stressed me out using them for the first time last cycles so I may skip them

    apricot / 390 posts

    @marym and @aria hope we get to be due date twins!!

    I got this close to buying OPK's at the drug store yesterday... I was there getting tissues and a new thermometer anyway, and my temps have been unreliable for the past 3 days due to illness/my thermometer dying. I just wanted to know if I had ovulated yet or not. Anyways, I resisted, and glad I did, because I am noticing fertile CM today!! Hoping I ovulate today or tomorrow!

    It's the first time I've scored "high" on FF's intercourse timer, so I'm hoping that might be a good sign!

    I just have to share... Since last night (7dpo) and this morning (8 dpo) I'm having dull cramping. Now, I'm taking into account it could be all the yummy food I ate at my in-laws' yesterday BUT I believe this is a good sign! I remember the first sign of my pregnancy with my son (SIX YEARS AGO) was cramping. I kept thinking I was about to start any second... but never did! I still have another week til AF is due so the torturous waiting continues..........

    @septca: I'm not bfing anymore. Quit two months ago because he was not putting on enough weight. But I've been getting regular cycles since December, just not ovulating apparently.

    @organicmama: crossing my fingers for you! My symptoms from my last pregnancy was cramping, breaking out everywhere and crying and not knowing why lol

    Cycle day: 2ish

    Cycle #: ? It's been a year since I went off BC (NTNP at first...) but I've only had 3 periods in that time and I don't think I've ovulated

    Ovulation & POAS dates: Hopefully June 9 / 23rd

    Baby #: 1

    Your game plan this month: Clomid! I have PCOS and hugely irregular cycles that are probably anovulary. I got progesterone to induce period and all I got was spotting, but my doctor gave me the go-ahead to "count" it as a period and go ahead and take the clomid starting today! I'll also be using wandfo OPKs (and for some reason i always pronounce that, in my head, as woah-fawn-do) and BD EOD. After this month DH will be traveling a lot for work, so here's hoping clomid will be the cure all to my problems and can make this work!

    @intotheocean: grapefruit juice? i haven't heard that one before, is that supposed to help?

  28. intotheocean

    cherry / 128 posts

    @LaughLines: well I have no idea. It's supposed to help your CM. not sure if it's real, but I got pregnant the month I used grapefruit juice and mucin ex lol So I said "What the heck, might as well try it again"

    @organicmama: I'm right there with you with both timing and cramping! I think I'm 7 or 8 DPO and also have had cramps since yesterday. Mine feel pretty much exactly like AF cramps, though, so who knows? It's such a mind game! Good luck! When are you going to POAS?

    @MaryM: That was seriously the worst thing I could have seen for my waistline! If I had to choose one food item to live off of, it would be ice cream... so now I feel justified satisfying my sweet tooth!

  33. organicmama

    cherry / 230 posts

    @Marym: Good luck!!

    @angelachase: I am 8 dpo today so if I can hold out til Saturday (12 dpo) that will be a miracle. Lol! I definitely feel off. The cramps are dull/mild. Almost like a burning in there?? Everything I read today was all about cramping around this time so my hopes are totally up. Throw in the HSG this month and I'm already planning how to tell the family the news! Ugghh! It's so hard to wait.

    Did someone say ice cream??

    For those of you that temp, at what point would you consider getting a new BBT thermometer? I've only had mine since October (although I've dropped it on the floor a couple times recently) and I just replaced the battery but I'm still getting weird temperatures. I've just gotten 98.4 for the fourth day in a row which is higher than usual pre-o temps and lower than usual post-o temps. I got positive OPKs and my temp hasn't dipped lower than 98.4 so I'm pretty confident I o'd, but I'm not sure what to make of the same weird temp for 4 days.

    Rollin' over from last month...

    Cycle number: 4

    O date: I got my smiley yesterday around noon, so I'm thinking I will O either today or tomorrow

    POAS date: June 12. I'm going to try to hold out until AF is due... I wasted so much $$ on FRERs last month! Grr.

    Game plan: just OPKs... We plan on DTD day of and three days immediately following my first positive OPK which should cover o-2, o-1, o, and o+1 (hopefully). If i don't get a BFP this cycle, will need to come up with new game plan next month...

    Good luck to everrrrryone!!!

    @anonysquire: welcome back to the ttc boards We're working on #2 as well, dd is 10 months old, this is the end of cycle 2 for me, but we've basically been trying since she was born haha. I think I remember reading you've had mad baby fever since your lo was born too right?

    @Aria: If you're unsure, I'd just get a new one but I probably wouldn't start using it until the beginning of your next cycle?

    Hi ladies! I took a break from hellobee for a few months after having 2 early mc's and then taking a diagnostic cycle to get some testing done. I thought this month I'd be out too, since my DH would be out of town during my fertile week, BUT I O'd early (!!). Who really knows my chances, as we were able to do O-4 and O-3, but I figured I'd join here just for fun

    Cycle day: 17

    Cycle #: 4 (4th of actively TTC, but 7 long months in...)

    Ovulation & POAS dates: O was on May 26, POAS on 6/7 at 12dpo

    Baby #: 1

    Your game plan this month: Praying that O-3 was close enough!!
