So, I too am new to this whole forum thing. I never thought I needed to be cause I have a bunch of kids already. Who thought I would want more?
So, my man and I decided we wanted one more, to get all of our babymaking out the way before we are 30 (I will be 29 next month) and so we began....
I thought that since it has always been relatively easy to have kids for me, I would let you know how I did it this time:
We began as soon as my period was over. It usually last between 5 and 7 days for me (ridiculous, I know), so it was important to begin right away.
It happened on the first try. Basically, (it's gonna be a little graphic) we had sex every night, as opposed to the every other night they usually recommend. And we did it at night before bed. And to keep it fun, we did different positions every time, but always ended up with him on top to get as much "goodness" in there as possible. And then it was time for bed, making sure everything stayed up in there.
On 7 dpo I was feeling sick. I had some wine the night before, and it usually never makes me feel bad after. I slept all day long and didn't eat much.
On 8 dpo I saw some serious veins on my right breast. This is unusual cause it has never happened before in any other pregnancy.
On 11 dpo I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Also I had a really horrid nights sleep, waking up at 4 am.
I went to Walgreens and bought a test, and there was just the faintest line. So faint, it makes you wonder if it's real. According to the directions, any color means YES. Just to be sure, I went back and got a digital one so there was no confusion. Still a go!
So, pretty much, it's possible, so long as you and "Daddy" are on the same page, and you research what the best options for you are, and you keep in tune with your body.
Baby dust to all!!
