testing

Wow nice effort!!! I BD on CD8, 10, 12, 13, 14 w/+OPK and I think not again til CD16. Used Preseed on 12, 13 & 14. So, I did good leading up to +OPK but didn't get it in much after. Hubby feels like a piece of meat lol.

It definitely can take the fun out of it. If the test is positive, we may not do it again until after the birth! Hahahahaha. Nah, but it is draining now. That's great you got it 3 days in a row before! Yay!

I believe based on my bbt that I ovulated on the 10th. We also used the digital opk this month and it gave me two positives two days before the 10th so hoping we BD enough!

I tested today already,

my neighbor who got pregnant after her first month trying gave me all her extra tests and I'm hoping more than I should that this is finally it. Like you I'm feeling really good about us staying "on top of things' lol and getting the positive digital but. . . like I tell my husband, "I may be pregnant this month

, or I might not be.

Gosh I hope this is it! So I was a bad bunny and totally tested well before I should. Hopefully I'll wait till the day my AF is due before testing. I have been watching a pregnancy vlog and the girl tested 12 days after ovulation on her third month trying and got a BFP it was soo exciting!

But I am going crazy this month with the 2WW far more than usual. I have been bbt every morning so it's hard for me not to look at my cycle calendar and over think things.

goodluck girls!

Probably a dumb question, but if you were to BD every other night all cycle would you need to use an OPK? I'm not saying you should do this, just curious.

Noper. You'd be good to go! I use them because hubby isn't up for BD all month long so I try to pinpoint the days to tackle him, lol. Also, this way I can count how many DPO I am.

Yea, I'm getting worn out with trying to track everything...I think after this month if it doesn't happen, we'll just do every other night and see! I now know about when I ovulate, so we can just try a little extra around then.

What do y'all think about exercising and ttc? I have gained about 5 lbs since our wedding and want to try to take it off but am unsure how it affects. Obviously people exercise, don't ttc, and still get pregnant...but what if you're trying? I kind of decreased exercise after we started trying scared that it would affect me, and now I'm feeling crummy about myself. My diet is fine, I just have a large appetite, so I eat a lot of healthy stuff (for the most part). I would hate to get pregnant on top of this extra 5. My BMI is 22.3 but was 21.5, so either way I'm not overweight...just don't feel like myself. Any advice??

No advice here. I am not an exerciser.

I eat pretty good, I know I "should" exercise, but I only need to lose maybe 5 pounds, so for now my laziness wins over exercising, lol. I am sure there are plenty of perfectly healthy/safe ways to exercise when TTC. Just couldn't tell ya what they are.

I think light exercise is just fine. I like to walk/jog on the treadmill or outside if it's pretty for 30 minutes a day. Of course some days I'm lazy and end up going every other day. I think you just want to avoid intense workouts. You want to be doing something now though so you can maintain that once you get pregnant.
