Stopping BCP to TTC***Updates & Progress/Noted Changes Since Stopping BCP***24BFPs***

[Ms Elizabeth]

well...it only takes once!! (or so i hear). LOL

i know i have my age clock ticking...so i try to max every chance i get. OH...he's older...but is a believer of "don't force it, let it happen naturally" well honey...you forget i'm almost 37 and just starting now...nature and i might not agree. lol

so i'm trying to covertly learn things (temps and opk) that way i can know if we skip a week...no harm no foul.

oh, i'm not above wearing his tshirt and dropping something in front of him. ROTFL

 

[MrsHudson]

Yeah that's true. I'm only 25 so not too worried about. But I definitely don't want to wait anymore. Plus I'm a planner by nature lol.

DH says I walk around naked so much it doesn't phase him anymore....

 

[Turtle0630]

You ladies crack me up! Before ttc, we were usually about 1-3 times a week too, more often in the 1-2 times per week. But we've really stepped up the game a lot since trying, especially of course when I'm nearing O. I know he doesn't want it to feel forced either (which I don't either, but I'm more aware of when it needs to be go time) so I try to just make it about WANTING him as opposed to NEEDING him because of timing, even when it really is more about the timing. It's funny though that since we've started trying I actually just want it more too. I think I just settle into how ever often it seems to be happening, if that makes any sense. Although after O I think we're both kind of worn out and needing a little break!

 

[MrsHudson]

That makes total sense. I find my self wanting it less when it happens less often and vice versa. Now to get DH into it more... I like how you described it. You don't want to make it forced and quite frankly, that doesn't turn me on either.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Mrshudson....then mix it up...wear a snowsuit. I get the same comments too funny.

You are both right. Last night I know I had a positive opk...made me really want .... more than need. Just came home from work and he wanted....ok cause I had another positive this morning. It was negative this afternoon but what the heck....I want it too.

I get a little grumpy when I know the time is right...but he doesn't want. I know we have time the nect day...but just dont want to miss any opportunity.

Hard to balance fun with...all our knowledge from testing. Lol

Im stuck in the 2 month trying....but knowing it will take a while mental struggle.

 

[DannaD]

Haha, mine wants it all the time, like in our 8 years together he said no maybe 4 times. It's finally going to be useful xD

 

[cdex67]

Well I was wrong. No ov yet apparently...Opk still positive tonight but my cm is pretty creamy

 

[cdex67]

It actually makes me wonder a little because I've heard pcos can cause false positive opks....

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Sorry Cdex, i dont know anything about that. But hang in there! One morning you'll wake up and boom! o!

I woke up to a huge temp spike. Soooo......

 

[cdex67]

Nice spike! Looks like you may have ovulated yesterday I took my temp 2 hours early by accident today and it was 97.05. According to an adjuster if I took it on time it would have been 97.45 so I put it in between.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Middle works! I set my alarm for 420am to take it. Lol

 

[DannaD]

Hubby got new job!! Starting on monday! Hopefully that will help with O as I was pretty stressed about it all, now we could even afford that I stay in maternity leave for as long as we want time to get pregnant!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

That's awesome! Congrats! Peace of mind is huge!

I'm secretly jealous. I don't get maternity leave...nor can afford daycare. Lol. Minor details! But we're trying anyway!!

 

[cdex67]

That's awesome danna, congrats!!

 

[DannaD]

Thanks girls!
Aw Ms Elizabeth, I know here we are already pretty lucky with maternity leave, we get a whole year. But I'm sure even without it I feel so ready for a baby that we would make it work somehow, and so will you I'm sure!

 

[Charmed86]

Maternity leave has been playing on my mind a lot recently, I'm self employed atm but have an interview on Monday for some part time work. I can't afford to be self employed and have a baby I don't understand mat pay tho, my brother was saying if you work for a company 3wks before getting pregnant then you can get statutory mat pay.

Still no O for me. Argh. Trying to DTD as often as we can, still getting that blasted flashing smiley. Hope I O soon!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

We get nothing...sooo...anything I take us without pay. Lol, like I can afford that. Haha. But, so tired of waiting. ..we will figure it out. Others do. Lol

I already work two jobs....guess I'll need a third. Lol. Majority of my friends don't work. Cheaper than dsycare. Daycare is more than rent!

Now, where is all of our o's???

 

[DannaD]

O's are MIA, it's a plot.

 

[Charmed86]

It's maddening MsE! A friend of mine got disability pay while she was pregnant, is that an option? I've been really worried about money lately. Atm we're doing ok, but it'll all change if I get my bfp, there's no way I'd feel comfortable cycling everywhere! So nervous if I get offered this job tho as it means letting all of my clients down Tough decisions!

Ahh, Danna, they're conspiring against us! >.<

 

[cdex67]

I know here you can file for short term disability for maternity leave. Otherwise we get 12 weeks unpaid or we can use whatever sick and vacation time we might have.
