I know this is super early, but for those of us who are already out of the early/mid Feb POAS, I figured I'd start new thread!
I'm currently on Cycle 2, CD 2. If my last cycle was any indication, I'll O around CD 17 (February 21).
How about you? Just starting a cycle? Want to join me on POAS in early March?

CD 5 of a 36 day cycle... predicted to O on CD 22 (February 24th)... then AF due around March 9th.

@mrsjyw: Yay! Someone's joining me! I totally jumped the gun on this thread but I was excited to MOVE ON. 
CD 3 today and if AF shows up in 27 days like she did last time, that'll be March 4th.

I'm 15 DPO but expecting AF tomorrow. I'll be joining you all with O on the 23rd and AF due the 10th.
Baby dust ladies!

I'll join once I get AF but with my long cycles I'm probably more like mid-march!

Anticipating an O around the 21st .... And to be avoiding AF around the 6th of March cycle #3 here. Hoping for the "third times the charm".

I'm in, too! I'm on CD 15 of a 33-34 day cycle. AF is expected on the 2nd. I'm think I'm schedule to O at the end of this week but I have a feeling that I'll O late.
This will be cycle 4 for us.

I'm CD3 but O'd really late last cycle (CD35). I was really stressing out and I think that may have delayed it a bit so I'm hoping (not stressing haha) it will be earlier this month!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
CD 13, bout to start our Every Other Day routine... Usually O on CD 21ish... also using the CBEFM this month... we'll see if it helps me pinpoint my O day! Baby dust to all!!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
CD 11 today, also about to start our Every Other routine. Last month O'd on CD 17, but I suspect it will be a little later this time.
@mrsjyw: What is CBEFM?
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Adira: I was confused by that abbreviation, too, but then I realized its probably Clear blue easy fertilty monitor.
Woohoo! Baby Dust to all!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
Yep -- clear blue easy feritility monitor - I bought one off ebay and this is my first cycle using it.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@bluestriped bee: @mrsjyw: Thanks, ladies! Let me know if it works well for you, @mrsjyw - if it does, I may have to get one next cycle.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
Woohoo! Got my first positive OPK on the test strips. Is it a little sad that I wanted to take a picture of it. Lol. I didn't, though.
persimmon / 1161 posts
I got a positive this evening on a digital OPK! It was negative this morning. We already BD two times this week, so tonight will certainly be our third. This is our first cycle trying post-m/c. I really want to be pregnant again ASAP.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
So I got my first 2 bar notification on the CBEFM... "high fertility" phase has started for me... (CD15) I usually O on CD 19-21... we haven't started our BD schedule as planned... but will be getting on it with this morning's high fertility notification!
cherry / 220 posts
@MRSJYW- That's exciting! How are you liking the monitor? Is it less of a pain then OPKs?
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
@arielle9510: it's actually more tedious than OPKs (process wise)... you POAS, then stick it into the monitor, and have to wait five minutes for the results. Sometimes, I end up leaving the room and checking back because it takes a while to process. But, I like the digital reading better. More clear and accurate I think. Also - for those doubtful days, you can always uncap the test and read as a standard OPK test. I like it so far for clarity purposes.

I'll join in! This is cycle #6 for me, but cycle #2 on Clomid (100 mg). I'm predicting my O on February 19th and AF due on March 7th. Good luck to everyone!
apricot / 371 posts
I'll join! This is our first cycle and I'm currently CD 10. Not exactly sure when I O, but think it will be in the next few days!
cherry / 220 posts
@MRSJYW- The thing that is attracting me to the monitor is that you can use it with FMU, right? I just find not drinking for hours and holding my pee for OPKs so difficult!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
@arielle9510: you HAVE to use FMU. so make sure you give yourself an extra 10 min in the ams for the entire process (: the last two days I've had two bars (high fertility) and it is a few days sooner than what FF has been telling me... I'll let you know how it goes this cycle
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
Hello ladies! Today is CD 16 and I'm expecting O any day now. Hubs and I have decided to try BDing every day until O shows up, which we didn't do last month, so... we'll see! I'm not sure if Hubs actually will be able to sustain it every day, but we'll see! I'm a little concerned about figuring out when I O though, because I think I've come down with a cold and my temp was up this morning, but I think it's due to fever and not having O'd or anything... but I won't really be able to tell when I O now since my temp is already high. Annoying!
pomegranate / 3398 posts
Hi!!! I am currently on Cycle 1/ CD3, estimated to O somewhere between CD12 through CD17 if I go exactly as predicted. Then I would be able to test around March 15th give or take!!!!
I'm very excited to finally be actively trying!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Crisark: Yay! That's exciting! The first cycle is so much fun! I hope you luck out and only have to try this once! 
pomegranate / 3398 posts
@Adira: Thanks!!! I sure hope so for multiple reasons...one specifically is because AF has come back after a year and a half and she's being a B!tch lol I'd like to not deal with her anymore!
cantaloupe / 6791 posts
I might be in. I'm not sure though. Its my first month off the pill. I've been using OPK's and they got darker until CD 18, but it still wasn't positive. Yesterday (CD 19) it was wayyy lighter again but today it got darker. I don't know what to think 
I was thinking I ovulated on CD 18, but the line wasn't as dark as the control line, it was just darker than all the others.

Can I join? DH and I are in a little bit different situation, so I feel like we might have a chance this month, but if not we're going to wait to actively TTC until this summer because of a job situation. We've been going back and forth about when to really start, but this month we went for more of a NTNT approach. I've been charting to make sure I'm O'ing and figure out my cycle. This month, I think (still waiting for my temps to really confirm) that I O'd on CD 14, and AF would show up on March 2.
I can't help but symptom spot already even though I know it's too early! Since I'm obsessing over our one-month chance and am really dreading waiting until summer, I would love to go through the next couple of weeks with some like-minded people.
Baby dust to all!
pineapple / 12793 posts
Back in the waiting game. I should O sometime between Wed and Thursday....We are NTNT this cycle because our EDD would put me due two weeks after my BFF's wedding. We are putting the decision in mother natures hands. I'm frustrated that we aren't giving it a good effort this time around because I'M SO READY FOR A BABY...what can you do.
Welcome and baby dust to all!
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
@oliviaoblivia: Isn't it awful having to postpone or not push ahead because of some external factor?!? I know it's the right decision for us not try again until summer if this month doesn't work, but I'm dreading 5 months of not even being able to try! Hopefully, nature will make a positive decision for both of us this month!
@bluestriped bee: I think our cycle timing is about the same. When are you planning on POAS?
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Smores: AF is suppose to come on the 2nd. Guess I'll POAS when it's late. Well, I'm pretty impatient so I'll probably check before then with the strips.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
Just a quick update: been baby dancing ERRDAY since Friday (CD 15+) with the exception of Monday (CD18)... O day is tomorrow or Friday (CD 21/22)...
AF due around March 9/10
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
Well, looks like I'm in the TWW. I was in denial for a couple days there because I apparently O'd earlier than I expected, so I don't really have high hopes. I'm 4 DPO and now expected AF on March 2nd. Will probably POAS March 3rd... or if I can hold out, maybe March 10th, but probably March 3rd, haha.
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
I was symptom spotting like nobody's business until yesterday (7. DPO) and now that I could theoretically start having real symptoms...I have NOTHING except stupid headaches.
cherry / 108 posts
I might be... not sure, since I just went off the pill two months ago and I am not sure if I have my cycle figured out yet. But, I think I O'd on February 22 and we BD'd February 19-22, so we shall see. I am expecting AF on March 6, so I will most likely POAS every day starting March 1 -- ha! If we are not successful this time, we'll probably wait a few months more so that we are a little closer to being able to buy a house.
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
@Witz: We're in the same boat b/c of the job situation. It's this month or pushing back TTC until July or Aug.
cherry / 108 posts
@Smores: Sorry to hear that you're having to delay, although July/August will come so quickly! Our plan was always to wait until November, but I got off the pill in January for various reasons, and, well, it just sort of happened that we tried this month. It was pretty impulsive, ha ha. But if we did happen to get lucky on this try, having a baby in November would actually work out fine for us, so it would be pretty exciting, even though it would really change our house-buying plans. Good luck to you guys!
