If I get pregnant this cycle, my due date (or timeframe) will be:
Sept. 21, 2011

Because I ovulated/think I will ovulate:
Dec. 29, CD 22

I used a few tricks to try and pinpoint ovulation:
Internet Cheapie OPKs from Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits for Home Use (Positive CD 19 & 20)
ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor (Peaked CD 20)
ClearBlue Easy Digital OPK (Positive CD 19)
Charting basal body temperature

I did some stuff to help Mother Nature along:
FertilAid
2-3 grams of Pre-Seed every time
Pre' external lubricant
Soy Isoflavones 80mg CD 4-8

Hubby and I got it on like rabbits, or have a plan to:
CD 19 4pm. 24 & 1/2 hours later,
CD 20 4:30 pm. 45 & 1/2 hours later,
CD 22 2pm. Then probably something like 20 hours later,
CD 23 sometime between breakfast and lunch

I had a procedure/will have a procedure done to help, like:
No procedures.

I'll have to make a few changes in my life:
I eat fairly healthy, but I'll need to make sure I don't skip any meals, like I do sometimes with breakfast. I'll also want to make sure I'm actually exercising on a regular basis, maybe things like swimming, pilates, and spinning, instead of now how I just fit in walks every now and then when it's convenient.

And we'll probably start telling people:

Right away, most likely. Neither of us is good with secrets. Plus, so many people in our lives are waiting to hear big news from us that I want to be able to share that joy with them as soon as possible.

I'll have to make a few changes in my life:
Would definitely have to change some of the ways I eat. I also tend to skip breakfast. I really need to eat more fruits but I buy them then forget about having them haha. I really need to get more exercise too. I was so good about going to the gym 5 days a week when I was pregnant with Ethan....I was going hiking too up until I hit about 8.5 months then the doctor put me on rest.

And we'll probably start telling people:
Right away...I am awful about keeping that from people.

If I get pregnant this cycle, it would have to be an act of God because I can't TTC yet.

I'm not sure. Part of me just wants to start telling everyone shortly after we find out and celebrate every second, but I'm hesitant. I've done it all kinds of ways- telling right away (and then losing the baby), waiting until the second trimester, and not telling until after I lost the baby and there are good and bad points about all of them.
