Ugggh, I think I missed it again!

For now, DH and I trying the old fashioned way but our timing sucks, I have no idea how I'll ever get pregnant again at this rate. DH falls asleep at like 8pm every night because he gets up with DS in the morning who has decided that 5:30am is a perfectly great time to wake up. Other than waking him up in the middle of the night, I have no idea how we'll ever make this happen. I haven't gotten a +opk yet but pretty sure I probably just missed it because I'm having major cramping today. I'll try to tackle him tonite but I have a feeling it's too late. 

We were supposed to go to the RE this month but then found out our landlord is selling the building we've lived in for almost 20 years, so on top of everything else we're trying to find either a house or an apt short term until we buy a house. Doing any of this in NYC is madness, so for now I think the RE is on hold. Being AMA sucks, I'll be 42 in August, I literally have a clock ticking in my ear ALL the time! Thanks for listening!

  • Maybe you can schedule it? I know that's sooo not romantic. But gotta do what you got to do.

    I hope you find a new place soon!



      


  • We tried to schedule it a few times, but that would usually get DH a little too freaked out. Too much pressure is no bueno for my guy :-< . I usually just act really determined, lol.

    If you have cramping but no +opk, it could just be your follies ripening. A friend of mine thought for years that she knew when she was o'ing because of the cramps. But when she did her IUI, the ran to their RE's office one day because she was cramping and thought she was o'ing early. It turned out she was just gearing up to o. You might not be too late!

  • Well, I got a +opk today! A little late for me, but I guess the window is still open. DH fell asleep at 8:30 last nite right after we put DS to bed and ate dinner, then DS woke up at 2am and I thought about it for like 2 seconds and decided sleeping was a better option and then DS woke up at 5am. We used to always aim for morning sex but these days unless we do it at like 4am it doesn't seem possible anymore!

  • Waking up 30 minutes before your son to do it, or keeping our Hubs up 30 minutes later to do it = not that big a deal for a few days!  You can do it!  Or get it on during naps!  Just saying - go for it!
    Trying for #2 with IVF after damage done in a D&C left me with one functioning (but too scarred) ovary and tube to get pregnant safely without assistance. It's a really, really long story, but that is the gist of it.  We have one daughter (whose c-section birth started this roller coaster) born in 2012 after a miscarriage in 2011. 
    Failed 1st attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 3, 1 frozen embryo saved) in December 2013.  
    Failed 2nd attempt at IVF (Fresh ET day 5, 2 frozen embryos saved) in February 2014.
