Well, it's only the 2nd day of November, but there's no better time than now to start part 2 of the lovely POAS thread!
Good luck and lots of well wishes for ALL of the ladies POAS in November! THIS is OUR month! : )
@Yellow.Clover: Thanks for starting the new thread! November POAS rocks!
@Yellow.Clover: Thanks for starting part 2!! We are quite the chatty bunch, huh? =)
i wonder if i am out this cycle.
i was slightly cramping yesterday. twice through out the day. but they only lasted for like 5 minutes and i was right back to feeling normal.
& this morning. i was chatting with my friend standing in my hallway and for a minute i was like wow, im real crampy. then it went away.
but im only.... ?? erm... 5 or 6dpo? idk!
im off to get my hair done. but i couldnt leave without checking the bee! xxo ladies!
ps. thanks clover for starting this!
pss. i absolutely LOVE that its nov.2nd and were on part 2! ahahaha. makes my day!
@Yellow.Clover: Oh my gosh, already a part 2? Lol. I am having a lot of EWCM so I'm pretty sure (hopefully) that I will O soon! My breasts are the slightest sore, I'm not sure if that meant I O'd already. Hope not!
I want to dye my hair tomorrow, and am not sure if that is safe. Just a lilttle darker to match my roots. My poor blonde hair is getting darker now that it's not summer =[
@ Miss.Sunflower: yes, keep testing!! Good luck! And yes, I would go ahead and dye it. It will be fine. : )
@ ChuckNorris; Yay!! That all sounds wonderful! So excited for you. FX!
@ wifegoodman; those could be really good signs!! Don’t count yourself out! : )
Yay for part two! In keeping with my anti-symptom spotting resolution, I have had the following symptoms: sore breasts, discharge, teariness over cheesy things. Explanation: insanity. I am 2 DPO.
@LuluH- eeps re: having resolutions in the second month and not doing that much better! I was like, sort of hopeful that I could overcome me being a crazy person. But it's nice to know that when I start to lose it and POAS like crazy, I won't be the only person doing it! Sucky re: BFN. Hopefully too early!
@MrsMaskatoBe: I def feel ya on the fb. I do find it weird though, that sometimes for some people I am actually happy, and others just make me want to die. I don't have a strategy for coping!
@wifegoodman: don't feel guilty! Last night I had a beer and a glass of wine and three cups of coffee in the TWW. And LOVE that dress. Want that dress. Eff it, I am buying that dress.
@mrs.stormylove - I am getting the CBEFM next month too! We will have to compare.
@Mrs.Sunflower: if you've been testing 3x a day (which I do too! I can't help myself!) then you prob didn't miss it! Mine was late this month, and it drove me crazy for days but it finally came!
@ChuckNorris:Yay re: follies!
@wifegoodman: Yay, I'm so glad those are good numbers! What are you going to do to your hair? I'm about to go get my hair done TOMORROW, sooo excited. I haven't done this since before my wedding! Omg omg omg! Cramps could be a good thing...you never know! When I had a BFP in March, I had cramping. Who knows.... =) My fingers are crossed for you, as well!!
@Yellow.Clover: Thank you for starting this! I am fairly certain I already said this, but happy birthday yesterday. I thought I said something but I can't find it!
@Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: I love that: Explanation insanity. I love it! I bet that you really are having all those symptoms because of your progesterone, since that's on the rise! I get sore breasts the day I get my temperature surge.
@sailor: Thanks for the luck!
@Mrs.Sunflower: I'm totally dyeing my hair this week because I go gray (Sooo sexy) and I don't want to look like skunk if I magically get pregnant this cycle! I'd do it if i were you. If you're pregnant, you share no bloodline with the fetus until at least 6w.
@Yellow.Clover: Thank you for the new thread!!
@ChuckNorris: Yay for the u/s and the follies!! Good luck!! Hey, quick question: how much maca does your husband take? Paul takes two pills a day, 1,050 miligrams.
@wifegoodman: I had cramping when I had to my sticky baby BFP! Not with my m/c (Well, the cramps came later). It can be a good sign! My cramps weren't period cramps, more like a churning cramp.
I'm still here. CD9. No + opk yet! Hoping to O on CD15. Since my husband's junk is not a fan of sex, we're shooting for O-2 (which got me pregnant two cycles ago, but i lost it), and maaaybe O? Please jesus?
My thermometer is being a dickbag. I keep getting 98.0 every single morning, when I KNOW I can get a different temp at night. There is no way it plateued like that every single day. BOOO.
@MrsPuddingface: Oh man, I totally know that feeling. You're so happy for your friend but you can't help but feel a little bit of the green monster and be envious. I met up with a friend yesterday who is pregnant and she wasn't trying at all, like wasn't even really ready for it. To hear her talk about it and how she was 5 days late before she even thought about taking a test, and then here I am testing 5 days early, enduring day after day of BFNs. I totally understand how you felt.
People already start to annoy me with their commentary and we've only been trying for 2 cycles. I really feel for people that have been trying for longer or have had a MC (or CP, etc.) and have to hear people ask when they plan on starting a family or why they don't have kids yet. People need to mind their own business. In the midst of the hurricane this week, I was able to get cell service for a few minutes and I updated facebook to let our family and friends know we were okay. One comment from DH's family member said that lots of babies are made during storms, so I should get off FB and get to baby-making. Really? You have no idea what goes on in my bedroom so please don't comment on it. Especially on FB.
@ChuckNorris: Aww, well thank you! It was actually a bad day. I think all the AF hormones were still going off! LOL. But feeling much better today! : )
@Mrs. Kiwi: Sending you lots of positive vibes! Good luck!
No need to thank me for starting the thread! I just hope I'm lucky and magically everyone gets KTFU this month!! Wahoo!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I completely missed out on the majority of part 1 due to being out of town, but I am back now. Sorry to cross posting between here and 6month+ thread, but DH and I just found out we are not very likely to get pregnant naturally. Very low count for DH's SA. So although I should O in the next few days, I am not as excited as I was just a few days ago. I am trying to keep the mood optimistic though, especially for him - he is super bummed. Here to hoping and to keep trying anyway!
@Mrs. Kiwi: "My thermometer is being a dickbag" thank you for making me laugh today, I needed it :) We are hoping for CD 15 too. Good luck!
@Mrs.Sunflower: I am right with you, should O any day now, no + OPK yet but I hope I get one this weekend. The longer until it arrives the better though, so my DH can build up (a new tactic for us!)
@hardtoconcentrate: Wow, how rude of her to do that on FB! I just don't know why people don't understand how much of a sensitive subject this can be for some. Just because everyone else can get pregnant so easily without even trying, doesn't mean everyone can! If it were so easy as to just go bang it out for a day during a storm and bam magically a baby would appear, I think we'd all be doing a rain dance and stay locked in the bedroom for a day! *smh*
@MellowMood: You're welcome. :) While my husband's issues are different (I think? We've never had a SA done), he has an extremely low drive, and we've managed to conceive twice with having sex just once- and one time was after O (according to FF). Sometimes miracles can happen, and sometimes all the most random things can line up to make that special thing happen. Have you tried giving him maca root? It's supposed to help boost the amount of swimmers (Maybe? I'm really talking out of my ass here). http://getpregnant.org/health-articles/conception-difficulties-maca-root-to-the-rescue I picked it up for a few reasons, namely 1.) I feel as though we're doing something proactive, even if it might just be hype and 2.) Since I only get sex once in my fertile window, might as well try to boost the supply for that one time. :) Good luck!
@Mrs. Kiwi: He hasn't needed it lately - we've switched his medications and tried BDing less and that has really helped. I will look when I get home. I think he did 1-2 500 mg tablets. We were initially shooting for O-2 and O day, but my RE said three days in a row...So we're going to have a rough time tonight. Sorry about your lame thermometer.. I hated that feeling of not believing in your thermometer!! HATED.
@ChuckNorris: That's good! If we had sex less, I think I'd be like, negative numbers. I had sex -4 times this month. In fact, we have so little sex, he's taking sex back from months in the past. :)
Can I say that I'm super excited? Our 5th wedding anniversary is tomorrow so we're going to do it up! Then my 33rd birthday is Monday, it's a birthaversary weekend! Liquor and pasta, sex (Please God) and snuggles! Then, next Friday, Disneyland! Just the husband and I. BOOYAH.
@Mrs. Kiwi: You're going to Disneyland? That's so cool! Happy Anniversary :)
@Macintosh: Yeah! We have passes (we're in L.A.), so this will be our 9th time this year? Every year we get an ornament for our tree- since 2004. :) So we're going to celebrate our anniversary, my birthday, and get our ornament. We brought our daughter last time (In October), and this time it'll just be us. Some people have date nights, we have Disneydates.
@ChuckNorris: I saw your message from your appts, FX'ing for you!!!
@Yellow.Clover: Happy Late B-day!!! I haven't been on much, but I missed everyone and had to see how everyone is doing!
@wifegoodman: It's still early!!! I wanna see you Clover and Chuck all get BFP's this month!
@Mrs. Kiwi: LOL, oh my! Birthaversary weekend and Disneyland sound like fun, sounds like good baby makin plans!
I'm boring...really! CD10, hopefully O'ing soon...waiting for the positive OPK!! And if you check out my chart, I am so boring that MY TEMPS ARE EVEN BORNING! For those who know my normal super erratic charts, this is a great, GREAT thing!!
VAGINE-ER FOR LIFE! Right @MrsPuddingface: ? Haha!
@Yellow.Clover: Right?!! This made me laugh: "If it were so easy as to just go bang it out for a day during a storm and bam magically a baby would appear, I think we'd all be doing a rain dance and stay locked in the bedroom for a day!" That's awesome...and so true. Thanks for that - I needed it. 
@Mrs. Kiwi: I'm so excited about your Birthaversary weekend! I didn't realize that our birthdays are 11 days apart! I love all the November birthdays =) My husband turns 33 this month too, at the end of the month. I'm sorry about hubby's drive...I bet there would be a way to get testosterone injections covered by insurance, have you guys talked to the doctor about that maybe? Or maybe a low dose Cialis daily?
@hardtoconcentrate: W. T. F.?! I can't believe s/he said that, on FB no less! Wth is wrong with people? Dense.
i took a half day of sick leave today. CD1 makes my whole lower torso hurt and i never take my sick time (saving it for, well, you know). I'm taking some pain killers, watching Spongebob, and then falling asleep on the couch.
CD1 is so bloody boring (ha! ba dum ching). On the plus side, Yellow.Clover is my next poas buddy, assuming i actually make it to poas date. sweet!
@Mrs. Kiwi: Wow, Happy Anniversary, birthday, Disneylanding! Sounds like you have lots of fun planned over the next couple weeks! I'm from your area and like Disneyland, too. But Magic Mountain's my favorite. And this past Halloween I was totally wishing I could be at Knott's Scary Farm. Have you ever been? It's so much fun!
I really hope getting the stitches taken out of my gums tomorrow morning is not too painful and doesn't leave me unable to eat. I've been looking forward to the oyster festival for months, seriously, and i'd be totally bummed not to be able to go.
Good luck ladies! I am cheering you all on like the creepy internet stalker that I am...
@CuriousOne: Now that I think about it, SHE is a cousin of DH's who actually had fertility problems and had her child through invitro! Can you believe that? I guess people just forget once they're past that. Definitely frustrating.
@Sea_bass: Lol, love this! Hope you're feeling well. :)
Wow, can't believe we're already on part 2! I didn't even get caught up on the first thread. ;)
Not much to report here. CD10 and starting to realize I hate OPKs - they make me even more obsessive about this process. I have to admit, I do like temping, though. I find it very interesting.
@Sea_bass: Stalk away! ;) How are you feeling?
@hardtoconcentrate: Yikes! People are so rude/weird. Grrrrr.
@wifegoodman: FX that those cramps are a good sign!
@Yellow.Clover: Thank you for starting Part 2! FX that November is your month. :)
@Mrs. Kiwi: Happy early Anniversary and birthday!! I won't be on over the weekend, want to get it out now. ENJOY your weekend!!
@MrsJuneBee: Thank you! FX you O very soon! : ) And your chart looks great!
@ChuckNorris: November bdays!! Wooop woop!
@CuriousOne: Yeah, same here, don't hold me to POAS on that date. If it's anything like last cycle, I won't POAS until Mid December or if it's a good cycle, AF will probably show up the day before! haha. Who know's? Maybe this will be our lucky cycle and we will both make it to the 27th! : )
@hardtoconcentrate: Ugh sorry to hear people commenting on baby making, it's so annoying. a few days ago I had 4 (!!) people ask me in 1(!) day "when are you having kids" "Are you guys gonna try for kids soon" I pretty much went in my car and cried after work haha.
Well today was the official POAS day. It ws BFN again, but no AF so there's still a glimmer of hope. I O'd a litle later then I thought I might, so if it is actually 14 days from when I O then that won't be until tomorrow/Sunday. I don't have any symptoms of AF though I usually don't get too many. Except yesterday and the day before I was an emotional wreck, crying over nothing ( I think that might just be the stress of this first cycle being over ) So we will see over the next few days.
Well, my O time has come and gone. I'm a little bummed--my husband and I only DTD one day--6 hours after I got my positive OPK. The next day it was negative, so maybe we got lucky and we're super fertile folks! He's been working a lot lately and he's always so tired so he wasnt up to it any more than that. Blah! As of now my POAS date is November 13th, so add me to the list!
@ChuckNorris:Oh fair point re: actually having symptoms! I used to be on Mirena and had no AF or any kind of hormal change at all, so I am just like, not really used to having hormones at all. It's like hitting puberty again! I revise my anti-symptom spotting explanation to: Explanation: Insanity for blaming it on early preg symptoms!
@LyndzJMn: hey I was wondering this - if you O late, does it delay AF? Or just shorten your LP?
The other day I was obsessively testing using an OPK during the optimal hours of 2-4 pm, which meant I was at work. Peed in a cup, set it on the toilet paper dispenser, and turned to rifle around in my bag for the OPK. Knocked the pee-cup off the toilet paper dispenser while turning to rifle, and spilled it ALL OVER MYSELF. So there I am, at work, drenched in urine. Go me! I texted DH and he mocked me relentlessly for being neurotic enough to ahve been testing (after a AM positive OPK no less) at work just because it's the recommended best time. Hahahahaha! This is why my diagnosis for myself is most often insanity...
@MrsJuneBee: Thank you! I am looking forward to drinking a lot. Hopefully I won't be able to in the very near future. :) Isn't the time leading up to O the most unbelievably boring time ever? I'm a day behind you!
@ChuckNorris: We were going to get him in to a doc to get his testosterone checked out, but then I got pregnant so I was like, good, now I don't need you (Sorry, it's truth), but then I m/c and now it's like, shit, I DO need you. I think we'll wait until after this cycle, and then get him checked out. He can get it up okay, just not... um. make the touchdown, if you get my drift. I'm super excited! Favorite place with my favorite person. :)
@CuriousOne: I looove Disneyland. Magic Mountain is awesome, but I get so pussed out on roller coasters. I totally end up crying because I suck. I love Knott's Scary Farm! Back when they let the workers touch you and scare you, my husband was freaked out, and his 300lb ass FELL on the poor guy and broke his femur. They don't touch you anymore now. Haha. I am SO hoping your gums are okay! I mean, oysters aren't too bad? Raw or cooked? If they're cooked, they're breaded and fried probably right? Maybe in po' boy form? Good luck! I hope you can eat!
@Yellow.Clover: Thank you! I hope to live it up. :)
@LyndzJM: It's not over until it's over! Good luck!
@Wed2Attn: Only takes one sperm! Good luck!
@Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: Oh wow, that story made me cringe and laugh at the same time because I SO could see that being me. Sorry you were soaked in pee! You should try Mrs. Puddingface's method for POAS at work - she's got a foolproof method. I might screw this up, but if I remember correctly, she has 2 cups at work, one that she drinks out of and one she pees in. When she goes to POAS, she takes one with her to the bathroom under the guise that she's washing it out from her coffee. Then nobody thinks anything of her taking a pee cup into the bathroom. Not sure if that would help to avoid spilling pee on oneself but it seems to be an all-around good method. ;)
Wow, I just realized that being able to retell that makes me look like a stalker. *slinks off discreetly to hide in the corner*
@hardtoconcentrate: OMG, that is so rude! I get asked a lot which is annoying enough - I would seriously KILL someone if they posted something like that on facebook!
@hardtoconcentrate: I know that story too, because I am a stalker! I stole the method, even! Crazy and a stalker. That's what TTC has brought me to. Yeah, I think it's probably me that's the problem, not the method.
@Mrs. Kiwi: Oh yes!! Very boring, well except for the BD part ;) OH! well thats close to cycle buddies, I swear I never have any or I lose them along the way! LOL
I would totally grab the wrong cup...LOL! I use plastic baggies and throw them away when I'm finished, of course this could make a huge mess and almost has too!
@Mrs.JA: I know, so rude! Not to mention, just gross...I don't want people commenting on babymaking on my FB page. I'm friends with people from work and just in general people who I don't want thinking about me and DH doing the deed! Ugh, gross.
@Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: That makes me feel better - glad I'm not the only one. :) TTC has 100% made me crazy. I have no shame in admitting it.
@hardtoconcentrate: I have been SO grumpy today, and I just laughed my ass off watching you tell people about my "pee cup". Then I laughed even harder when I saw @Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: 's story about spilling the cup! You girls crack me up! And @MrsJuneBee: , they are both identical cups, but I don't mix them up because I leave my drinking cup on my desk at all times next to my kettle, and the pee cup gets stored in a drawer immediately after returning from the bathroom (washed, of course). Besides, even if I did get them mixed up, a bit of piss never killed anyone! ;) Thanks for cheering me up ladies!
@Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: I have no idea if a late O makes a shorter LH phase or what. This is my first time charting. I think that it just depends on the person. Maybe I just have a shorter LH phase. There's so much to learn with all this :/
