BD on day of positive OPK

[xoxo4angel]

Fire ~ We've started a new chapter...Pavlov's Dog Theory: How to get your DH to hump you during O!

Lxb ~ I need to go back to the what color is your wee chapter. I forgot to look this morning! Oops!

 

[lxb]

how to get your DH to hump you~ :rolf: great chapter~

xoxo - we must be twin then! I forgot to look this morning either!

 

[xoxo4angel]

That's awesome and you're the resident Wee Analysis expert (I took poetic license with the term expert). We just have so much going on in the mornings (temping, recording in FF, thinking do I need to poas today)...I'll try in the morning

 

[Zeri]

Zeri - maybe you could appeal to your DH's male need to make you happy and tell him that when you BD it makes you happy. My DH knows whenever we BD afterwards I am much happier (even slightly exaggerated on my behalf). But im trying to reinforce a positive action with a positive outcome. (puppy training?)The begging thing sux but believe me I know what it's like!

C'mon Saturday already!!!!

Hmmm... that's a good way of putting it, Fire. I like that. Was hoping to BD tonight but DH is nowhere to be found...he had to go out for a meeting this evening. Had some ewcm this afternoon so O must be gearing up to come in the next few days..

lxb - sorry about the bfn, but I agree you're definitely not out! Especially since you got a bfp after AF before... Looking forward to SAturday when you and xoxo test!

Pavlov Dog theory...

 

[xoxo4angel]

Aww Drat Zeri! Good thing O hadn't occurred yet, but it's gearing up to...now to just figure out how to get DH to jump your bones! I often wish my DH would try the SMEP, but I don't want to mess with the "how does your pee stick look" thing we have going! Does your DH know you've started the Clomid again? If only they knew how much we put into making a baby and how one simple act would make us leave them alone!

Fire ~ Hope the visit is going well!

Lxb ~ I am still void of any signs that would be indicative of a BFP I did look at my wee this morning...couldn't recall what I was looking for though How are you? Your temp is still up-yay! Come on Wonder Twin and Gangnam Bunny!

Hope you are well Ginger!

Keep Thinking Pink

 

[Zeri]

Thanks xoxo. No, DH doesn't know I've started the Clomid again. I don't tell him anything ttc-related, really. Don't want him to feel too pressured, but on the other hand it's really frustrating not to get any BD on a medicated cycle.

I didn't have any strong symptoms when I got my bfps - except some implantation pain on 8 dpo both times. So I wouldn't too much stock in symptoms really. Both you and lxb's temps are looking awesome though! I can't wait to see the results of your Saturday tests (are you SURE you want to wait that long??? )

 

[FireBaby]

If only they knew how much effort we put in to this!! They'd be in awe (or horror)
Pavlov dog heheheheh

I haven't even bought a thermometer yet its been crazy busy figuring out with my family about the Alzheimer's stuff for my dad - getting old really sux

I had bloods taken today for AMH, progesterone, tsh, t4, t3, testosterone, prolactin

I have no symptoms of anything

everyone!!

Zeri sending you BD vibes! Oh that sounds odd- well you know what I mean

 

[FireBaby]

Lxb and xoxo nice temps!
So excited for Sat

 

[lxb]

zeri - have you talk to dh about ttc make him feels? i assumed my dh will feel pressure or pushed if I told him my fertile time. but turned out.. he was okay with it and would like me to include him in the loop. as for testing... Ahh~~ don't tempt me~ i only have one frer left but I could get some test on my way home from work if i really wanted to~ but yeah.. the plan now is to test on Sat with xoxo~ (right xoxo?)

xoxo - i did check my pee this morning! Looks the same as every other cycle! how are you feeling? yay for another high temp~!!!

fire - getting old does suck. Alzheimer's sucks as well~ I remember yearss ago I helped my mom taking care of my grandpa who had a severe case of alzheimer. it was hard emotionally and physically. having help is the best thing one could ever ask for. hope things are okay~

afm, I was putting on a blouse this morning (it has some flowery type decorate on the top). I remember one of them fell out (I accidently pulled it) near the time I had mmc. And this morning when I put the same blouse on (I never sew the one that fell back up), another one fell out. The superstitious side of me felt scared. what if this cycle is a bfp cycle. what if the 2nd flower that fell down is 2nd mmc? couldn't help but to feel emotional and scare about this whole thing.

 

[xoxo4angel]

Zeri ~ Wouldn't it be lovely if you could share the pressure of TTC with him? My DH has said if he notices TTC is too stressful on me, then we don't have to have children...I said "Noooo! The prospect of giving up is stressful," so he plays along. Wasting a medicated cycle saddens me Zeri. He has to give in...feed him the maca!

Fire ~ What a good daughter you are. Fx things work out for your Dad and you get a BFP! You want us to post a thermometer to you? It will help you keep track and make chart stalking easier for us!

Lxb ~ Saturday is our big day! I am superstitious too! I tossed the t-shirt I was wearing the day I found out we lost our LO. No worries though...I'm sure your blouse had some faulty stitching

 

[xoxo4angel]

I hope you ladies don't mind my ramblings....

I went to Walmart in search of the elusive .88 cent pregnancy test., you know, the one's people say have a sensitivity of 25miu. Well, I found them! I was so excited...so excited I was even going to splash some afternoon pee on them to feed my POAS addiction. Well, as it turns out I bought the .88 cent ovulation sticks, not pregnancy test! Typical Angel maneuver to not read the dadgum box! I already have over 50 cheapie OPKs... Another sign, NOT TO TEST yet!

 

[Zeri]

That's funny, xoxo! (Although, you know, you COULD pee on the opks as well to see what comes out....) ahem! Ok, I'm sorry, I'm being an enabler...don't listen to me!

lxb - sorry to hear about your shirt episode. I can see how that would make you anxious, but it's probably not even related... Have you ever had anything like that happened - something that you thought was a sign and then it actually came true? If not, I would stay optimistic and just see it as a faulty shirt/coincidence, like xoxo said.

I never asked you and xoxo about your MMCs before.... if you don't mind sharing, when did they happen and how far along were you? I had one last year - found out at 10 weeks, but it happened at 8.5 weeks. If/when I get preggo again I know I be anxious about the same thing occurring. But it also might not happen, so it's still worth it to try!

Thanks for the comments about DH and ttc. I don't think he knows how much I put into it, no... Sometimes I think I should tell him about how I feel and how much I want this happen right now, but I feel like it might be risky and end up with him feeling pressured... It's one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't situations, I guess. I'm definitely thinking more about it, though, especially as I get older.

Fire, sorry about the stress you're under right now. Hope you get good results on the hormone tests!

 

[Zeri]

Uhmm.. I just did an opk on a whim and it's blaringly positive!! When did that happen?? It was barely there yesterday! HELP!!! That means I'm going to O probably tomorrow morning!

 

[xoxo4angel]

I'm a nut Zeri...I was planning on peeing on a pregnancy test, but lost the moment when I realized they were OPKs. I like the way you think though...wish now I had picked up a FRER!

I am sorry for your loss Zeri (and yours too Lxb) ...I don't mind sharing about my MCs. The first one was a natural mc at 5w3d in April 2012. My second was at 7w6d in August 2012. The Dr did a D&C for the 2nd one to check for chromosomal abnormalities...the results said it was a boy with trisomy 4. In a way, I guess I am thankful my body took care of things, in another way I wish my egg would've been healthy enough to have never caused the problem in the first place.

So, I certainly know your fears about what if it happens again, but you have to push forward and take the gamble. I remain hopeful that my 3rd time will be a charm! We will all get there!

 

[xoxo4angel]

Uhmm.. I just did an opk on a whim and it's blaringly positive!! When did that happen?? It was barely there yesterday! HELP!!! That means I'm going to O probably tomorrow morning!

Force yourself on your DH! Tonight AND/OR tomorrow! (Why do I feel rushed and anxious? lol!)

 

[lxb]

xoxo - too funny @ peeing on the opk! does it show positive though??? hehe....

zeri - jump on dh the first chance you've got~!!

I'm sorry to hear about your losses too ladies I had mmc at 8wk measuring 6wk. I went through 2 rounds of misoprostol (first round I had some passing and I still had some retaining products. second round didn't do anything other than some side effect). Finally had to go through d&c. Good thing is that my body regulates pretty well and got my first period ~2 weeks after and it seems to be fairly regular.

xoxo - i couldn't find those 88cents test from walmart! The cheapest I saw was $3.49 per test! Might as well get those FRERs

 

[xoxo4angel]

I just saw your recipe link! I skimmed through it and suddenly feel compelled to bake! Or do I feel compelled to go to the bakery :scratchhead:

 

[FireBaby]

Lxb don't interpret the blouse like that! What if the flower on the blouse is this - its the Santa baby you are going to have sending you a message - last time it was saying - don't worry about the mc it needed to happen so I could be born, and this time it is communicating with you and saying 'hey! Just wanna let you know it's gonna be Xmas soon and I'm on my way so get your peestick ready lady coz I'm not only a BFP but I'm a pink sticky who's gonna be a PERSON!'

Zeri - jump your DH! Try all the Pavlovian tricks you can muster up eg.- you make me super happy when....

Xoxo - did you pee on the opk to see if it was surging? excited for Sat!

I caught up with an old friend yesterday and it was so great hanging out with her daughters - I love the whole thing of picking up from school, talking about day, having dinner, clean your room, bedtime story etc.

Thanks for sharing your mc experiences - when do they say you are out of the woods so to speak with a mc risk? Is it 12 weeks?

Okay I promise I will get a thermometer today! It's gonna be in Celsius though so I'll have to translate it back to fh everyday - or I wonder if ff has the ability to do it for you... I guess I'll find out tomorrow

 

[Zeri]

Hey girls, thanks for sharing your stories! Just a quick drive-by post for now - I'm going to be really busy today and tomorrow preparing for a presentation tomorrow. Just wanted to update that there was no BD last night... DH had a client meeting that went till late (after midnight) - he had a couple drinks there too so said he wouldn't have been any 'use' to me in that condition. BUt he promised to BD today. I think it might be too late though - since I may even have ovulated last evening when I felt some weird twinging pains. Anyway, I'm going to try for sometime lunchtime BD and see how that pans out.

 

[FireBaby]

Zer! Lunchtime BD is great! Swimmers will be in tip top swimming mode
