@MrsHoneyC: Aw, I love Harry Potter, though I have never re-read the series. I’m currently sorting through my old book collection, trying to de-clutter the spare room, and seeing what I can donate to charity (ie the books I know I’ll never re-read).
Woohoo for your + OPK π
Let me know when you have a POAS date. FX you could graduate in April π

I’ll come join you on this one!
Roll Call!!
Current Cycle Day: CD 3
Ovulation Date: FF says CD 19/April 22nd
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: This will be my 3rd cycle off the pill. The first was 36 days long, the 2nd 28 days, so I am hoping for something inbetween this time. FF says AF will arrive on May 6th, so for now we will say POAS May 7th.
Cycles trying: This will be the 2nd cycle actually trying
BFP Plan (BD timing, supplements, etc): I am charting, we will try to BD everyday that I might be fertile, I am also taking Evening Primrose Oil 2x a day until O and drink Red Raspberry leaf tea 1-2 times a day until O, and taking B6 1x a day for the whole cycle in hopes of lengthening my luteal phase. As well this cycle I am going to try to start tracking my CM and CP, although when I tried that before I struggled with it. Anyone else have a hard time finding their cervix? Tips?

Favourite book you’ve read in the past 12 months (not ttc / baby / pregnancy related please)?: Hmm I haven’t had much time for reading lately which sucks cuz I love reading! I guess I rread the new Kathy Reichs book on our honeymoon and it was pretty good! Also I read the hunger games books this year, and even though the are obviously for teens I did enjoy them as well.

I’ve also read some really good physiotherapy books (I’m a physio geek!)

@Lyndzo: Haha they are completely appropriate for BD but I can’t get past the grammatically errors. Some of the parts are like they forgot to run a spell checker over it.

@MrsHoneyC: I LOVED Book of Negros!! I think I read it in about 36 hours because I couldn’t put it down! I also LOVE the Harry Potter books and also reread them once a year, usually in the summer/fall though
@Lyndzo: I didn’t read 50 Shades but if you are looking for some BD inspiration (*wink wink*) the Sookie Stackhouse books are pretty smutty… they are the books the TV show True Blood is based on. I read them a few years ago and they do get repetative (there are like 12 or 14 now) but they are an easy read and entertaining.
@Utopia4us: I didn’t read it for that exact reason! My friends who know me well told me to avoid it because of how badly written it was! Plus I really cannot handle weak female main characters…
