June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

[macydarling]

Do you ladies have any rhyme or reason to when you BD? I found this "intercourse timing" calculator online that was interesting. It had all different "plans" like every day, every other day, all fertile days, sperm meets egg, and a few others I cant recall. I never knew there were so many methods. When do you BD???
I know with my m/c we got pregnant the first cycle trying. We BD'd cd 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15. Not sure which day is the one that worked!
This time we BD'd cd 5, 7, 11, and 13 thus far. Planning to also BD tomorrow and Friday. This week feels all thrown off due to the holiday. I keep thinking it's Tuesday. Im not complaining.

Smiley, read your story. It's quite amazing. Hope you get June BFP and that leads to a little princess.

Twinkie & ILT - your charts both looks VERY promising...Fx Fx Fx!!!!!

My allergies are acting up too! I walked over to my neighbors and got some fresh honey - I swear that eating fresh local honey is a cure all for allergies!!! It puts the same pollens into your system in a different way & gets your body used to them - at least that's my interpretation of it!!

My concern with the darn OPK is that I drink a TON of water...seriously! After my FMU I go often & it's very light. I'm trying to figure out when to maybe hold back some of my water drinking & how long I might be able to make it. I drink 20oz of water with a splash of organic apple cidar vinegar immediately after waking, then my indulgance of a small cup of coffee (about 8oz), then I get to work & fill my reusable water bottle that holds 24oz & finish one of those by 10ish, another by 12ish & usually have one more throughout the afternoon & sometimes even 2 more. I drink a large glass of water with dinner & sip on a glass throught the night until I have my small cup of herbal tea just before bed. Is there a reason why they suggest not using FMU for OPK's? Hmmmm...maybe I can try to hold it from like 2pm until I get out of work at 5pm?!?!???

3hr hold is fine. Sometimes I find it hard to hold for four hours. Try not to drink anything during that period.

OMG this thread has completely ran away. So many new faces. Hello to all of you!!!

Confuzion, Twink, and ILT, ya'll s charts look awesome. Don't deny it. This has to be the month for at least one of you but I hope it is all of you! You all deserve it so much!

Melly-You crack me up. I whine when I am sick too but nothing like my hubby. He is DYING when he has a sore throat. Haha!

Okay I'm going to hop on over to the testing forum and see all the BFP's!

Seriously...lol. I wonder if every man is like the because my DH sure is...

Hugs to you ladies dealing with morning sickness. I know how miserable that is! It's a very odd feeling being so sick to your stomach but eating is the only thing that helps it a little and then after you eat...sick again! Ah! My mom always swore by keeping saltines by your bed and eating a few as soon as you wake up before getting out of bed. Maybe it helped a little but...I swear by zofran! Lol!

Macy, I don't have any logic. We rarely BD for ttc and just go in general but we're pretty regular.

Last cycle with my BFP, we went daily and sometimes multiple times a day. I think some of those plans are designed to make sure you cover enough days if you aren't fairly regular and in some cases to let the spermies build up. We started out SMEP but that never lasts lol

Fairyy- thank you, I'm really hoping for a lot of members of our June thread to get . I read the May thread and it looked like quite a few did. Hope we get just as many or more

I want to enter June and POAS on HPT. Just did my part of POAS on opk and it's over now. So next is HPT time. Ladies yesterday was the second day of my +opk and we bd on the first day of +opk. Was doing EOD before that. Do we need to BD tonight ? I think either I have ovulated on the first day of + or second day. First day Of +opk I had some bleeding. So my question is that do we need to BD today for that eggie ?

 

[Lynny77]

Cutie we are the same. Every month we're like- ok every other day but when it comes time I'm snapping my fingers and saying let's go every day! I'm hoping to try it twice a day on O this month- you'll all hear me complaining real loudly about that when the time comes lol.

Smiley your story is amazing. Gives me hope!

Confuzion I have a good feeling about this month! Can't wait for you to start testing!

Sorry to all the allergy sufferers and those feeling under the weather!

 

[smiley4442]

Does anyone know what the average cd is for ovulation? I'm pretty sure I O'd around cd17/18 last month. Bd'd on cd 16 & cd 17 had cramps and spotting cd 24 then had a BFP on cd 34 in April/May which was the suppose to be the first day of my cycle. But I was coming off the Depo shot that I had one injection of so I'm not sure if that will be what I have this month.

 

[jmandrews]

I O on day 15 or 16 and have a 28 or 29 day cycle. I think that's pretty average but not sure

 

[macydarling]

Thanks for the responses!
Cutie: With my bfp we also bd'd twice a day on 3 of those days! I dont think I have enough energy nowadays to do that again. Lol! Well, maybe I could but I would probably be rushing through it the second time and not very into it which DH probably wouldnt appreciate lol. Even though I remind him of the actual purpose of sex, ie baby, anyway. Its not all about him anymore lol.

As far as average cycle day, forgive me I cant remember who asked; this thread is crazy I cant keep up lol...I believe the "average" O day is cd 14. But of course many, many, many women are O on other days.

 

[smiley4442]

So I guess AF wasn't done with me, started cramping and spotting again. I'm fine with it though, I stopped last night (cd4) and it wasn't even a full 4 days. I usually have about a 6 day cycle. I just hope it is normal. The one in April (one after coming off depo) was extremely light everyday and lasted 2.5 weeks. This was a little heavy (had a CP) so I'm hoping its normal so we can get to bding and hopefully a June baby.

What are the symptoms for Oing? Think I might be today. I felt dizzy & I've had a headache all day. Plus a temp spike. Can someone take a look at my chart?

Either you have ovulated yesterday or ovulating today. Time to get busy

I think you're covered! Can't wait for your BFP

Haha twice a day is ambitious! I don't envy you. Don't think I could do that lol.

Sound like you're Oing but based on your chart, I don't see a proper spike yet, so keep BDing just in case!

Macy - we do EOD or when we're in the mood/not exhausted following AF. As soon as I get a +opk we BD that day and the following 2 days for a total of 3 days straight. RE said that was good. Then we resume EOD even though it's too late for baby making so that it's just for fun. No pressure.


So spoke to RE's nurse today. Blood work is pointing straight at PCOS like they thought. I start metformin tomorrow. RE wants follow up visit to discuss bloodwork etc. I'm extremely nervous as to what that could mean. Hoping nothing serious. They did do a genetic screen for cystic fibrosis, muscular atrophy, and fragile X. Hoping those are all negative. I have the appointment next Tuesday.

I told the nurse about the +opk earlier than the RE expected. She said that was great and sometimes we ovulate from smaller than expected follicles. She asked if we BD even though DH was supposed to abstain. I told her we rescheduled his and did it 3 times. She said great and that they would probably do a Beta test on Tuesday (although if BFN, it could be still too early). So I may not have to wait the full 2 weeks.

So right after we decided to wait at least until Saturday morning to test, my wife calls me right before I get to work and says "Baaaaaaaaabe can I pleeeease test in the morning?! Just to get it out of my system!"

It's going to be a long week lol.

lol. Good luck to you. If it'll make her feel better let her test.

 

[confuzion]

n.miller - it's so great that you O on your own despite the PCOS. FX you caught the egg. Can't wait for those beta results. Metformin will hopefully do the trick if it's not your month but we're not thinking about that now because it will be!

eidson - haha sounds like your wife is a POAS addict in the making. Are you guys stocked up on cheapie tests?
