    I know there's a Dec 1 POAS, but I'll be several weeks later!

     

    So I'm almost positive I'm out for this month. But if AF comes on time, I should be able to know before Christmas if we get a bfp!

    Plan for this month is just BD every other day :) still not going to temp or chart just yet..jury is still out on giving in to buying OPKs for this month.

     

     

    Anyone else planning on POAS around that time?

    Mine will be mid-month this cycle. Hopefully DH gets over his cold because I'm almost post AF/fertile time.

    I mayyyy be in! It depends on whether it takes me a long time to O again next month. I hope that I can at the very least test by new year's so I'll join here! I may just be a week later than Christmas :)

    If AF comes really soon then i'll definitely be right before Christmas.  It'll be my first Clomid cycle, so I'll be extra nuts.

    I think I'm in for Christmas POAS. Haven't had a positive OPK yet, but I'm CD12, so who knows. LP is usually about 16 days, so we'll see!

    I'm at 6dpo and AF should be cominb on the 18th, so if she doesn't show up, we'll be testing around that time too :) Our plan is to BD every day from CD 15 through CD 20, and see what  happens!

    @sorrycharlie: I felt the same way today about AF!

    I'll join in! I'm CD1 and looking to keep a fresh, positive perspective on TTC this month. Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday, so a Christmas miracle is in order after a crappy year (minus getting married - that was awesome!). I suspect I'll O on Dec 15, which puts me right on track for a Christmas BFP 10DPO! :)

    @kimbo89: Christmas miracles for everyone! Laughing

    As I said before, I'm mid month, right now in the middle of the TTC fun time. I'm fertile around Christmas if we don't conceive this cycle. If we go to my inlaws during Christmas, it will be impossible to try around that time since there's zero privacy at their house.

    I just started charting this month with FF.  But i have also calculated when i should O according to my cycle length.  I'm supposed to O around the 10th.  We shall see. I'm trying to not get too anxious or excited, just trying to act like it's any regular month like I did before we started trying.

    This is our first month TTC and first month off BC.

    Not really expecting much this month but am impatient and would love a miracle! Haha

    Not sure when AF due because of BC but thinks it's around the 26th and hopefully O around the weekend. Exciting times!!

    @frcklface: the first month we started (last month!) I tried charting, this month I used an OPK to make sure I ovulated when I thought last month too, I was right! It's totally okay to get excited your first month! I did but with a side of "it won't happen immediately" so i wasn't disappointed with that first BFN.

    @electrocircus: so exciting! my first month off bcp (last month) was totally normal 28 day ovulation day 14, so it could work out!

     

     

    I did OPK last night, Tuesday, positive! we tried Sunday night, monday and today (wed) so hoping for a Christmas miracle!

    AF is due around the 13th - if that doesn't happen, I'll be testing on the 20th.  Otherwise, we're shooting for a Christmas BD baby.

    Im still hanging around lol. I think I am coming up to or may have started Oing, cramps and aches-the usual suspects. But, I have been feeling so weird this cycle,like really not bothered about it and not really trying. We havent BDed anywhere near as much as is normal for us,and its all down to me feeling crappy. So Im thinking this month is more than likely not gonna happen for us,but it aint over yet lol

    I am on CD11 so I still have some time to go.  Have been using OPK's nothing yet.  This is officially our first month TTC after the miscarriage.  Along with OPK's we are going to try SMEP and see what happens.  Baby dust to everyone!

    @Sunshine1810: woohoo! I was so excited to know that I was, in fact, ovulating!

    @kimbo89: are you using opks or temping or anything yet? I didn't last month but was almost positive I did from cramping! I had lesser cramps this month and got a positive OPK, so I think that's a good sign.

     @sarahlyn2626: I'm still new to this..what's SMEP?

    @sarahlyn2626: I'm on CD10..so I'm right there with you.. too much time left this month.  I hope everything works out for you!!

    I'm on cycle #4.  This is my first time charting. I try and look at other charts on FF b/c even though I read up on charting I'm still not sure what I'm looking at. LOL. CD9 my temp went up alot and CD10 it is still up (but not as high). Fingers crossed!!

    @sorrycharlie:

    SMEP is an aggressive BD approach to TTC. It involves having sex from before ovulation to the end of the cycle. Basically, it gets as much sperm in there in hopes of conception as possible.

    @frcklface:  Good luck to you too!!!  I decided to start charting next month if it doesn't happen this month.  Charting seems so difficult ;)

    @sorrycharlie: Since we are soo new at TTC it doesn't seem like much "work" yet lol.  But I can see how it could get exhausting :)
