  • What a great idea, @mrosek91 <3 

    1. Going to bed at a decent time (no later than 9, asleep by 9:45)
    2. Phone calls with my sister (especially when driving - hands-free, of course! - we both have horrific road rage, but it is purely superficial and we just like having someone who understands our frustrations instead of trying to 51-50 us)
    3. Snuggling with DH (I'm NOT a "snuggler," but when I am ... it's magical)
    4. Snuggling with DD1 (she is also NOT a "snuggler," but sometimes we are and it's oh-so-sweet)
    5. When DH does something really sweet and/or helpful (without prompting): cleans the kitchen, brings me lunch, "lets" me sleep in, surprises me with flowers, runs an errand I keep forgetting, etc.
    6. Good music
    7. Playing cards or a board game
    8. Weather somewhere between Spring & Summer (cool at night, warm during day, minimal pollen-snow)
    9. Going to the bathroom in peace/alone
    10. Driving fast with the sunroof open/windows down (when safe to do so) on a beautiful day
    **History in Spoiler**
    Me-35, DH-36 - TTC since 08/10
    Me - anovulatory, non-Insulin PCOS, DH - low end of "normal" sperm count
       IUI#1   - 02/15 - Cancelled due to scrubbed sperm count <1MM
       IVF#1  - 08/15 - 13x5-day blastocysts (ranging from AA-BB, most are 5 or 6), not PGS, on ice
       FET#1 - 10/15 - 1 emb - BFP (DD 07/16) (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
       FET#2 - 07/17 - 1 emb - BFN (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
       FET#3 - 08/17 - 1 emb - BFN (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
       FET#4 - 10/17 - 2 emb - BFN (changed to estrace + prometrium because of allergic reaction to PIO sesame oil)
    ERA Testing - 12/17 - window moved (-1 day)
       FET#5 - 03/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
    Karyotype Testing - 04/18 - Negative (we're ok)
       FET#6 - 06/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
       FET#7 - 10/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
       FET#8 - 11/18 - 2 emb - BFP; looks like one baby is going to make it, DD is due 8/16 (though likely to be 8/9)


  • @chillycanadian - I'm right there with you ... I wish I had more of a drive/desire/ability. I feel so bad for DH, but I promise it's not my fault! :(

  • @MamaK225 @chillycanadian I’m right there with y’all. Add DH’s travel schedule to the mix and it’s been way too freaking long. 
  • @MamaK225 and @heml for me...the desire is there. And opportunity.  In fact I'm going insane!! But being on bed rest for most of the pregnancy, and now still on pelvic rest..... Means no fun times for me! OB said not till 38 weeks. But pretty sure I'll be a whale with no ability or deaire to DTD by then lol
    I'm hooooooping he will at least clear me to allow orgasm before second trimester is up 😂
  • This is a great thread! 

    1. When my H gives me foot rubs and everything about him. 
    2. My dog. <3
    3. The beach (which I haven't seen in so very long) 
    4. Sunshine (I literally become a different person when it's sunny outside) 
    5. Slushies (this expat store just opened down the street with a slushy machine. He has made my life dreams come true just in time for summer and to be super pregnant)
    6. Travelling
    7. Trying to figure out what baby is doing in there sometimes. 
    8. Hanging out with our friends
