Hi Ladies...Just wondering if anyone else will be testing mid Dec.  I am on CD 7 today with AF expected Dec 16th.  I am going to try to wait until 12 DPO to POAS which would be Dec 13th.  I know there is a Dec 1 POAS club and an Xmas POAS club...just wondering in anyone else is right in between like me!! This will be cycle #3 for us TTC and nothing would be more amazing than a BFP for Xmas!!

@bunnylovesbear: & @MrsFarmer:  Good luck to you two!! I am on CD 8 today.  One of my closest friends just found out today that she is PG.  Ugh..I want so badly to be thrilled for her but I can't help but feeling sad.  This was her first cycle TTC and it was sooo easy for her.  Oh well...hopefully Dec will be my month!

Just checking in with you ladies....Currently I am on CD12...according to my phone app I am supposed to O on friday.  OPK still negative (my first cycle using them).  We plan on BDing quite a bit over the next week to help our chances this time around.  I have decided that I will try  to hold out to POAS at 13DPO which would be Dec 14.  Where are you ladies at in your cycle? When do you plan to POAS?? I have my fingers and everything else crossed for all of us to get our BFP's for xmas!!

I can't believe that I didn't join this thread. AF is due on Dec. 14th for me. I'm determined to not read into anything this month. I won't even test until the Tuesday before AF is due at this point. I over tested last month and it caused a lot of heartache.

@ecomaha: Yep, I'm thinking that it's the best way to approach it. I'm really trying hard not to read into my breasts hurting and all of the time right now as well still having some CM though I'm post ovulation. These are the two weird things I've noticed about this cycle so far. I need to be distracted with Christmas knitting right now and a party on Tuesday I'm hosting.

I instituted a new drinking rule for myself. I only drink during AF, after that nothing. I figure it helps with the sadness of starting a new cycle over again and cuts down on the drinking in general.

@ecomaha: Yeah, for me, it's just a personal choice. I feel like AF is the cut loose time because I know that there's no chance in pregnant at that time. It makes AF easier on me. I've noticed that since we've started TTC, both of us have been drinking less in general. I even have him drinking a natural diet soda which he both likes and slightly guilts himself into drinking because it's better than the chemical heavy stuff. I also switched us last night to a healthy whipped butter and butter sub (Nature's Choice, I believe) instead of margarine. I felt like we were pumping ourselves full of bad stuff with it, so switching it up a bit for both of our health sake.

I'd really love some sushi right now. I haven't had it in so long! It's part a TTC thing and part just not going out for it. Tonight, I'm having an Italian beef sandwich! I'm way too excited for it!

It's so great to see so many ladies joining this board!! I am hanging out at CD14...AF is expected on Dec 16.  This is my first month using OPK... I still have not gotten a positve reading on it.  My ovulation app says that I should O tomorrow.  I am worried that I have not gotten the 'happy face' yet! Anyone else using OPK this cycle...if so what CD do you usually get a positive reading on it?  If no BFP this cycle, I will begin logging temps next month...although I worry that will make me even crazier about TTC than I am now.

I am very optimistic that this board is going to produce alot of BFP's...just in time for xmas!

@FutureMrsHCanada: I'm just not good with logging temps because of my late bathroom breaks. My chart would look funky. So, I'm trying to take the approach of just go on with life and know when AF is supposed to arrive. I'm actually happy that it's super busy this month to distract me from POAS'ing constantly.

@FutureMrsHCanada: I'm lucky that OPKs are always dark on a certain day. I haven't had that problem. It's just the getting pregnant thing. I've enjoyed this cycle so far without the need for external lubrication! I also didn't Mucinex it up either. I actually think it wasn't helping my CM. This cycle feels like a good learning experience of what we were doing wrong last cycles. Every cycle I learn something new.

@FutureMrsHCanada: You put your CM to best use around mid-cycle in the days before and after ovulation. Checking the CM quality will help with that. Though reading CM is like reading a Tarot card. Since my doctor discouraged external lubricants and I had plenty CM during O time, we went without it. I actually wish that we focused on my CM in previous cycles. I wish that I didn't go all crazy on the Mucinex, etc. because with a little foreplay, we're lubricant free. My husband's still adjusting to it, but I like it alot more than Pre (PreSeed's external lubricant).
