If anyone has another title suggestion, I'd love one... this one is kind of corny, but I couldn't think of anything else!
Hoping for lots of BFPs this month! Good luck to all!!

Cycle Day: 2
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation and POAS dates: O will hopefully be 2/6 so POAS should be 2/21?
Baby #: 2 - I have a LO who is 2 yrs. This will be my third pregnancy, as I had a BFP in Oct 2014, m/c at 6 weeks.
Your plan this month: Go with the flow! I've been really stressing myself out these past couple months, as my cycles have shortened a lot and made the TWW really stressful. So I'm skipping OPKs this month. I will temp (switching to vaginal to see if it is more stable) and take a 50mg B Complex to try to lengthen my LP. Worst case scenario, I have a drs appointment Feb 16th, so I can get some insight into what is going on with me...
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? I'm traveling home to Chicago to visit my parents for the weekend, so we should have built in babysitters that weekend. Hoping for a nice dinner out and maybe a Second City show!
Hoping for lots of BFPS for everyone this month!

I'm going to go ahead and join this thread since I won't (or at least shouldn't 
) poas in January.
Cycle Day: 26
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: I got a positive OPK on 1/22 and FF is telling me to test on 2/5. We'll see if I can make it that long...most likely I'll test on 2/2 at 10 dpo
Baby #:2
Your plan this month: Hopefully I won't symptom spot like crazy and drive myself nuts! I need to CHILL.
We haven't talked about plans yet for Valentine's day, but I would love a date night! Or a massage

Love the title!
Cycle Day: 17
TTC Cycle #: 6, 3rd post m/c
Ovulation and POAS dates: O on 1/23, not going to POAS til 2/4 (hopefully hold out til then!).
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: We BD'd O-4, O-2, and O. I will start taking B-complex tonight and take it til AF shows.
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans?
None yet...Fun fact: I got my BFP with LO1 on valentine's day 2012, would LOVE if we had another Feb BFP this year Good luck to everyone!

Cycle Day: 7
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation and POAS dates: Based on my last cycle, I'm going to say Feb 4, and POAS Feb 18
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Going to start drinking green tea and taking EPO to increase cm again since it seemed to help last cycle. Other than that, just bd often leading up to O day.
Chart link: n/a... I basically just chart cm
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? I'm not sure what we will do on the actual day, but I'm just planning to give DH an envelope with "12 dates for the year." It's cheesy, but we don't go on dates very often and I think he will appreciate it.
kiwi / 611 posts
@Willow: I love the idea of planned dates throughout the year! Any idea what kind of dates you'll include? We always seem to get stuck in a rut of dinner and a movie.
apricot / 261 posts
@jodyblair: that's what we usually do too. Some that I've included are:
Hike & picnic
Chocolate fondue & massages
Board games
Skating
Going out for breakfast
Movie marathon
The others are mostly about specific places/events nearby (beach, drive-in theatre, pumpkin patch for October, etc)

Ok I'm going to join even though I'm slightly unsure of this month's timing/O date.
Cycle day: 21
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: I "think" I O'ed around the 19th or 20th but my temping has been very unreliable and I'm basing this on previous months. Will POAS if I don't get my period by Feb 5.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: order opk's if/when my period comes
Just for fun - Valentines day plans:
My husband and I are taking a couples cooking class that Fri and may do dinner and a movie Sat or Sun

Hi ladies, joining you for a (hopefully) lucky month for all!
Cycle Day: 20
TTC Cycle #: I'll say 1 (we tried for a few months towards the beginning of last year but put a hold on it when I got a new job, then DH got a new job, then we bought a new house... finally getting settled in and ready to try again).
Ovulation and POAS dates: This is my first month back off of birth control, positive OPK today so ovulation tomorrow or Monday. I will try not to POAS until 2/7.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: I've been temping with a new thermometer and using expired OPKs. I plan on ordering new supplies if this month is not successful and trying to find where I packed my old thermometer (new one takes about 3 minutes which feels so long first thing in the morning).
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? Not officially. My mom will babysit and we'll grab dinner. We're still getting used to this area and we haven't found much to do around here without driving 20+ miles.

Yay! So excited!
Cycle Day: 14
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: positive OPK this morning...POAS date should be Feb 8! I will probably cave earlier.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: BD every other day since CD10 and probably until at least CD17. Now that I got my positive OPK I'm just going to be waiting.
Chart link: I stopped temping because I wasn't very committed to it. 
If this cycle isn't it then I will start vaginal temping next cycle.
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans?: Nah! We're not really Valentines people. Although I do want to sneak in a solo date night soon.

I'd love to join but we've agreed to wait until March to get back into the game after our two miscarriages. So I will be patient and cheerlead!

Cycle Day: 32
TTC Cycle #: Still 4.... but month 7 
(cycle 2 was a BFP but then a loss)
Ovulation date: Hopeful that I O-ed yesterday, so we got O-3 and O, maybe O+1 if I get lucky, haha
POAS Date: Probably Feb 3rd at 10DPO.... I know it's early but if it's a BFP, I'd like to get betas done Feb 4th & 6th, before the weekend.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Well it's hopefully out of my hands at this point, but if there's a next cycle we'll be trying more supplements because both DH & I have a very limited diet.
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3edb3c
Any Valentine's day plans?: We will be visiting Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon for a 3-day weekend getaway. I've always wanted to see the GC in the winter.

@Hilsy85: Seems like we had similar O & POAS timing! Thanks for your comments and encouragement on the Jan POAS thread. I'm sorry we're dealing with the same things but hopefully things will be better in the future. DH & I have some changes in mind, as well.

@hilsy85: @Danizaur: @DesertDreams88: sounds like you all had good timing!!! Hoping you guys join me in Oct 2015!
@jodyblair: goodluck this month! I'm so bummed about your evap!
@Chaosmaven: really hoping this month is it for you!
Goodluck everyone!

After much debate with myself, I've decided I'm going to join in early. Not sure if I will O or not, but I'm super excited to be off the bench this month...
Cycle Day: 8ish
TTC Cycle #: 10 months. But ovulated only once in that time.
Ovulation date: Eh. Hopefully around 1/31?
POAS date: 2/16, for now.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: Clomid round 1, plus Metformin and Mucinex. Low glycemic diet with at least 60g protein daily and tons of green tea. My RE has bloodwork is scheduled for 2/11. No OPKs (they are always positive for me, apparently this is common with PCOS). BD at least EOD CD 9 and on. We're also using Softcups. And if I feel O, baby aspirin after that.
Chart link: None. RE and DH agreed that I shouldn't chart to try to keep daily stress down (not my idea...).
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? Stay home. It's not a big holiday for us.

Joining because I need a little good luck this month..
Cycle Day: 9
TTC Cycle #: too many to list
Ovulation and POAS dates: I'm on Gonal-F injections, so I'm hoping to ovulate by the 4th Feb. If it's later than that, we'll really struggle to fit things in.
Baby #:2
Your plan this month: Gonal-F, hcg trigger, FET cycle if all goes well
Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrsjaguar
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? We'll be having our first ever family holiday.. in Fiji!!
kiwi / 611 posts
@jaguar: A vacation in Fiji sounds amazing! I hope the timing is right for your cycle so you can fit it in.
@Hoots: I have PCOS too and I wondered about how OPKs would work for me. I've been using them and I think I'm getting accurate positives, but who knows! When we were TTC #1, a low glycemic diet combined with metformin did the trick for us. My OB wanted to give it a few months TTC #2 before putting me back on the metformin, so we'll see if I end up needing it this time. Good luck to you!
kiwi / 673 posts
@jodyblair: Thanks! Apparently, I just have high LH levels so the OPKs are always positive. I'm just happy to be working with an RE now. My OB wasn't the most consistent. I've been on Metformin since July but still no dice, so Clomid it is!
@jaguar: And fiji sounds spectacular!

Cycle Day: 4
TTC Cycle #: 11
Ovulation and POAS dates: O should be 2/4, POAS 2/16

Your plan this month: acupuncture, herbs, generally cutting back on caffeine and alcohol and none during the 2ww (sigh), lots of good fats, full fat milk and and red meat to "build my blood"

Cycle Day: 19
TTC Cycle: 4
Baby: #1
O date: 1/21
POAS date: AF is due 2/5, so lets say 2/6. We'll see if I can wait that long!
Plan: I posted all about it in a different thread about my experiences with at home AI, so won't repeat here. Basically everything is already done, just waiting now!
Valentine's Day: Probably nothing. We aren't big Valentines people. Maybe a dinner out sometime around then.
Fingers crossed for everyone else testing this month!

It looks like there are a lot of us testing at the beginning of the month!

Cycle Day: CD22
TTC Cycle #: 4 (although i just starting temping last month and OPK's the month before)
Ovulation and POAS dates: i got a positive OPK onCD18 (Jan. 21), i am not clear from my temps when I O'd....but I will POAS on February 3rd i think, as AF is due the day before, but sometimes comes a day or 2 later than predicted.
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: temping and OPKs. i've only temped for one month and i just finished breastfeeding my toddler on Jan. 14, so things may not be predictable this month, but i am gathering data in case i don't get a BFP.
Chart link:
And just for fun… any Valentine's Day plans? I booked a babysitter and we are going to have a date night! And the next day, i am hosting a Valentine play date.
pomegranate / 3411 posts
@Mrs. J: my LO is a valentine baby too, so if i get BFP this month, their birthdays will be very close together! not what i wanted, but I want a BFP more

apricot / 315 posts
@jodyblair: We can CHILL together! Definitely want to take it easy this month... symptom spotting can make a person crazy. Good luck!!
@hilsy85: Hope you get another Valentine's BFP!
@jaguar: Fingers crossed that the timing works out this month! Hopefully it will be a relaxing trip for your family

Cycle Day: 19
TTC Cycle #: 1! My first time posting here 
Ovulation and POAS dates: O'd around 1/16 (didn't test, so I'm not positive), will POAS if AF doesn't show up by 2./2.
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: If AF comes, we're going to get the ovulation/preg test combo from Amazon and go from there.
Excited to begin this adventure, but totally overwhelmed by everything I'm reading! Oh, and symptom spotting ... basically everything makes me think I am growing a baby.

Cycle Day: 16
TTC Cycle #: 4
Ovulation and POAS dates: My OPK was positive yesterday (1/25) and today (1/26) so I think my POAS day will be around 2/7
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Trying to accept that most people have to try for several cycles (we got pregnant without trying with DD) and relaxing. We are using OPKs because my hubby works out of town so I have to narrow down the window quite a bit.
