The crazy things we do while TTC...

Hey all,

So I just got back from my weekend camping trip in the mountains and am proud to say that I did manage to do an OPK in a crammed, smelly port-a-potty! I brought the basic ClearBlue kit (the kind that goes from blank to solid) just in case I figured out a way to do it but couldn't find a small plastic cup to bring with me (I have a powerful stream and can only test by dipping). However, on the first night at the festival we stopped at a booth to have some free tea samples, which were served in little plastic cups. I looked at my H, who knew of my dilemma, and without saying a word he wiped his cup clean and stashed it in his pocket. What a man, right?!? Anyway, the next morning I stood there shivering in that port-a-potty, in about 30 degree weather, waiting for the test to calculate and I couldn't help but wonder how many other women have tested in port-a-potties? I mean, surely I can't be the only one, right?

What other crazy things have you done while TTC? Strange testing places? Unusual BDing locations? Any funny stories? Please share them!!

Oh, and the OPK was negative :-( Maybe my pee was too dang cold??? We got in one secret BD anyway, just to cover our bases...

The port-a-potty story is funny!!! I had to do my stim shots in a park and I got them drawn up while sitting on a bench at an empty playground. I felt like a druggie!

I hope you won't mind me lurking from the June BMB but I just LOL'd at the image of doing crazy things in the woods while TTC because I've definitely been there. The cycle I got KU we were backpacking during my fertile window and I made sure we didn't miss an opportunity to BD... in a crowded campground with another tent less than 10 feet away. H and I laughed about this and we made a promise to never tell our kid where he/she may have been conceived.

Most interesting place I've peed on an opk: Machu Picchu, Peru. (In a hotel. I'm not an animal, @jilligan14)

DH and I also had sex 3 times in 2 days at his friend's house a couple of months ago. I hope they didn't hear us!

I have 1 DS at home conceived while in Jamaica. I swear it was the coconut water. I've asked H if we could ask them to send us some since we're having so much trouble.

I understand. I went away without DH Columbus Day weekend to my parent's cottage in NH. I dont want them to know we are TTC so snuck using my fertility monitor both days. I set my alarm to hide in the bathroom to do it each morning. I didnt want to sit in there waiting for it to work so I hid it under the bed waiting for it to read its results. Too funny! I can't wait to someday tell them I am pregnant and tell them the story. What lengths we got to!!!

I was camping, and I wanted to pee on sticks as soon as I might possibly get an OPK, but I didn't want to use the port-a-pottie.  I brought a little disposable tupperware bowl, and used it to pee in the tent (and discreetly emptied it later).
