TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[greenarcher]

How exciting! I think it means you're about to! Is your smilie blinking?

Totally not weird to be pumped about this. I know I will be when I get to where you are. Tell your husband you're going to use him however you damn well please. He might be into that

LADIES! OMG! I know I'm stupidly excited about this! This didn't happen last month.

So I've been taking OPK's for the past couple of days and nothing but negatives have been popping up. Even this morning!

Then out of no where (sorry in advance for the tmi) I felt like really, really turned on. About an hour later (sorry again tmi) I had to go to the bathroom. I went #1 and #2 and when I wiped I noticed it was really, really slippery and transparent. I glanced into the toilet and there was a HUGE glob of EWCM. I don't normally get a ton of this, so was startled to see a ton of it in the toilet.

I took a shower cause honestly, I just felt slimey and eww.

I literally was on the verge and grabbing my husband and on the spot! But, I didn't... (I did tell him I wanted to lmao) His response? "I'm not just a piece of meat, I have feelings and a heart too!" LMFAO

So anyways, I decided to take a OPK again tonight and this popped up after 60 seconds. OMG!!! I'm actually ovulating/or getting ready to? Squeeee. Especially since I had a negative just hours earlier this morning! So glad I've been testing twice a day. So does this mean that I already ovulated or I am getting ready to?

The smiley face is solid!

It was so funny, I ran into the office with the test in my hand smiling from ear to ear and I think my husband thought it was a positive pregnancy test.

I had to be like "NO BABY! NOT PREGNANT! OVULATING!" LOL

His birthday is tomorrow! He'll be 33! How awesome will it be if his swimmers and my egg meet up tomorrow

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! He promised me he'll be off the computer soon. We've DTD every other day since AF ended. I think I'm going to demand BD time tonight, tomorrow night, and the following just to be safe!

Thats amazing puma! fx it works out so you will have a cute story to tell ur kids.

Over the months that we hav been trying, i noticed that telling DH about ovulation time, really turns him off. He gets stressed and takes hours. Im glad that didnt happen to you guys.

Aweee thank you so much I really hope this month is the month! If not, I'm prepared for that letdown, but right now I'm just feeling really hopeful!

Interestingly enough it doesn't stress my hubby out. What does though, is me telling him about my symptoms and getting his hopes up. Last month he was completely devastated when he found out that we weren't because I had so many obvious "pregnancy" signs that I'd talk about constantly. So, I've made sure not to talk about symptoms at all. I try to be really careful though, because I definitely don't want him to become turned off. Guys can be so finicky This will also be his first biological child and I have to remember that all of this is new and scary to him, too.

 

[greenarcher]

Yea, I'm with you Golden. I don't know how much to tell him because I know he gets performance anxiety.

Puma - How much do you tell him about your symptoms now? I really just blab everything on here, so I'm not bursting to tell him. I'll let him know if I'm late or crampy, but other than that, I don't give him any info unless he asks (which is like, so when should we be having sex? Are you pregnant yet?)

But I also haven't really had any new pregnancy symptoms. Only ever cramping and headaches. Sometimes dizziness. Sometimes fatigue, but all of these I have when I'm not thinking I'm pregnant. If my bbs get really tender, I'll probably tell him because that would be brand new for me!

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma and Golden, i also worry about how much to tell DH!

He wants to know certain things, like when my fertile days are, but he doesn't want any of the messy details Lol!

During the tww he will sometimes ask what my temps are doing, so I'll show him my chart and explain things. I find it really cute!

 

[BabyC4Me]

Puma I'm with you.

Hubbie asked me last night "so when is your fertile week ?" I said "I don't know. I haven't been keeping tract like that "

And that's how I plan to keep it. Def not telling him ovulation time this month. It's stressful enuff already , to have him worried about sex and performance.

I don't mention baby making at all. GreenArcher I'm the same way. No symptom blabbing unless it's on here.

FX girls ! Our baby daddies will thank us later

That is adorable.

BabyC - I just say that every time we BD is baby making!

 

[puma1986]

Last month I told DH everything. Nausea, crampiness, my abdomen was bloated so I had him feel it. I disclosed all of this information because he seemed really excited about the possibility.

After we found out that we weren't and he confessed his brokenheartedness and that he couldn't handle the "omg I think I'm pregnant" followed by "I don't feel really pregnant today". I didn't realize how much it was messing with him because he too, really wants a baby.

So I stopped telling him my symptoms altogether and he started asking me. I told him that I wasn't going to give him false hope because I didn't want to disappoint or upset him. He seemed appreciative, but also bummed out that I wasn't sharing anymore.

Having said that, I told him that I felt like I was going to "O" a couple days ago. He asked me yesterday morning if I had gotten a positive OPK and I told him that I hadn't. And just a few hours later, I got my positive and immediately ran into our office to tell him obviously ecstatic.

He seems to be handling it a lot better. I'm trying not to symptom check as much this month as last month.

We (us ladies) obviously spent a LOT of time thinking about this - how could we not? All of this is going on in OUR body. Having said that, however, I think it's probably best to limit the amount of obsessive conversations we have with our DH's. Men tend to handle "facts" better than "possibilities". When men want a baby, and we have a BFN, guys take it much more difficult than they like to display. In some ways, it makes them feel emasculated. Especially when other guys "accidentally" get their girlfriends/wives/flings pregnant.

At the end of the day though, you have to determine you own DH's level of comfort when discussing these things

 

[greenarcher]

Very good point, Puma. Did you end up O'ing yesterday? Did you get another positive today? Should we consider you 1 DPO? Do you temp?

 

[GoldenRatio]

I used to tell DH about my symptoms but he always said stop googling, u are not pregnant. So i have been playing cool, even i have symptom or feel pregnant, i just tell him that i dont hav any symptoms n no pregnancy again. But now he started to symptom spot. Guys are so interesting sometimes.

CD2 cramps are deadly...! plus i had 4 chocolate bars and a bottle of wine last night so i feel a little hangover today. All im gonna say is "TGIF" !!!!

 

[puma1986]

Very good point, Puma. Did you end up O'ing yesterday? Did you get another positive today? Should we consider you 1 DPO? Do you temp?

I don't temp. I probably should if we don't get up conceiving this month. I took another Ovulation test today and got another smiley face. The line was way darker, too. Does this mean today is my peak day? Have I already ovulated? Everything online says you could ovulate as soon as 12 hours after you get your positive. I'm not really sure. The past two days I've been sort of cramping but not localized to specifically the left or right side. Sometimes I get twinges on my left side, and then a couple hours later on my right.

What do you guys think?

[greenarcher]

I would say today, your result is positive, so you should O in the next 12-36 hours. The only thing that gives me pause is that your control line is so light! Is the smilie blinking yet?
