Fun 'How'd it happen' post
I thought it would be fun to see who all knew when they conceived...assuming the due dates are actually right 
So, for us it was Christmas Eve at my parent's house! 2009 Christmas, my parents treated us like we were in highschool and every time we went to our bedroom, they would ask what we were going to do...or they'd say, 'why don't you two stay in here and play games.' Ridiculous...I know:) Then, Christmas day, for Zane's last Christmas present I pulled him downstairs and took out the sexy lingerie and...well, we know where that led. But then my mom KNOCKED ON THE DOOR! After we didn't answer, she knocked again and said 'what are you two doing in there?'
Zane burst out laughing and I responded with one word: 'it.'
So this past Christmas, to avoid the awkwardness of the year prior, we would wait til everyone was asleep...and wait until we actually had enough energy! Which is how I know it happened Christmas Eve because I refused to go 4 days without it:)
Next to Jesus, best Christmas gift ever!
So anyone else want to tell how it happened???

Re: Fun 'How'd it happen' post
I was charting so it is pretty much narrowed down to one of 2 days. The one day we were in a fight so it was the most ridiculously unromantic moment. He was actually sleeping in the other room (I kicked him out, he was a bad boy) and I came in and told him just because he acted like an a-hole didn't mean I didn't still want to have his child. So that was like robot sex. The next day was in the shower and I was still annoyed at him (I don't usually hold grudges but like I said he was a BAD boy lol) but got to business anyway. I knew it was our last chance that cycle so immediately after I flopped down on the tub floor and put my feet over my head. I know those "tips" are bogus, but I thought it couldn't hurt. We both started laughing so hard that it actually ended the tension between us. I like to think that is the time it happened.
BTW your parents really don't take a hint, do they? lol

Ok so me and my SO have (try not to laugh at us) Naked sundays! We basically lay in bed all day, watch football, Naked. It's just a fun excuse for us to stay in bed all day, we live alone, have nothing to do so why not just be together right? Well I always knew when it finally happened it would be a naked sunday watching football!
Funny Story- When my best friend became pregnant with her daughter, she said "omg we def. concieved on a sunday because we have naked sundays hahaha" and I was like "wait, we have naked sundays too, HEY I'm the one who told you about that!" and she just said "well thank you - now I have my beautiful daughter!"
Oct 2010 - IUI resulted in BFN.
Nov 2010 - IUI resulted in BFP, which ended in m/c.
We were supposed to take Dec off after the m/c and to prepare for IVF in January (ordering meds, waiting for AF to schedule baseline u/s). DH traveled a lot in December, so the one night where I had finally stopped bleeding from m/c (tmi, sorry) and he was actually home - DECEMBER 13th - we "did the baby dance". The next day he left for another business trip. Fast forward to Christmas Day, I woke up and thought... "well, if a miracle is going to happen, it really should happen today"... so on a whim, I took my last HPT and used it. Then I jumped in the shower, left the stick on the edge of the hottub, and when DH walked in to brush his teeth, I said... "Hey what does the test say?" He froze... it was positive! I jumped out of the shower - without shaving my left leg - and jumped into his arms - balling my eyes out. I went for a beta the very next morning. Best Christmas gift EVER!
BFP#1 07/01/2004 ~ EDD 03/10/2005 ~ D&C 8/1/2004 @ 5w5d
It was either Christmas Day or a couple of days after. We were totally late for Christmas morning at my parents' house, even though we were the ones threatening my sister that she better be there on time, LOL!
We did it again a couple of days after and I am so glad we did because I ended up getting the worst yeast infection from some nasty antibiotics I was on.

They need to learn how to! haha:) And your story is HILARIOUS! I also did legs over my head thing...once...but then got a UTI and don't think I'll be doing that again. Ouch.
That is an awesome story! You had me choking up a little!
Love this story! If I weren't at work, I'd be bawling my eyes out for joy like a big baby!
Christmas Eve here too!
We had been trying for about 2.5 years. I was on Metformin and DH just started a medication called Ansaid at the beginning of Decemeber. We gave it a shot on Christmas Eve and joked that it would be like an extra gift from Santa if we got pregnant, and we did!
DH said it would be funny if we got the baby an outfit like the mailman or milkman as a joke. Then recalling our joke about Christmas Eve and Santa we thought it would be funnier if we dress the baby up as Santa instead.
Definately the best present on Christmas Eve I've gotten next to Jesus!
We have not even thought of this but I hope you don't mind....I will go out and find a santa outfit now...or a Mrs. Claus one depending on the gender
AW!! The best story!!!!

12/12...it was the one time we didn't use protection
We were going to wait until after DS's 2nd birthday in February to start trying but what's a few months!
I had given up charting for the month, but every month that I had charted in the past I had Oed on CD18, which turned out to be Christmas Eve last year. So as luck would have it, I got a nasty cold/congestion/sore throaty thing that same day and felt like crap pretty much and went to bed w/o even trying that night. The next morning on Christmas, we gave it a quickie try even though I still felt like crap just so we didn't miss out on a whole month.
When it came time to test, I was feeling less than optimistic because I figured me being sick caused me to O later and we missed out. But, clearly I was pleasantly surprised!
Quickiezzzzzz 4 lyfeeeee!
We had had our last failed cycle of cryo in October, and in November we went to a new specialist, and they said that we should just hang out and enjoy ourselves until my January period, when we could start a fresh IVF. All the clinics pretty much close over the holidays. We were sad, but we needed the mental and emotional and physical break, so we said, "Hey, let's enjoy the holidays and not stress about baby stuff. We have a great new doc and the next IVF will work."
So, the Monday after Thanksgiving we started acupuncture, both of us.
And then came Xmas and New Years and omigoodness, did we have a blast. We had champagne every night of our holiday staycation. We had sexy time every other day, it was great. We just really really enjoyed ourselves. I did an ovulation predictor test only because I wanted an idea of when we'd be starting our IVF.... I had serious intentions of enjoying everything I could before starting again- IVF totally takes over your life. So, it was a Sunday afternoon, and I had a positive OPK that morning, so we did what we call 'afternoon delight.' (I know, we are nerds.)
DH said, don't you want to put your legs up? I said no, what's the point? We had champagne again that night (last night of staycation) and I didn't even think about it after that. We hadn't conceived in 2 years of trying with OPK's/temping/tracking, so why now? 5 weeks later, no period, and they wanted to induce my period so we could start the IVF. I decided to buy an HPT on a whim one morning and ta-da! A serious, bona-fide miracle.
We had been finishing up Christmas shopping and were so annoyed with all the people and zonked that we decided to get a late lunch and a few beers to treat ourselves. After lunch we came home feeling good and a bit buzzed and proceeded to not even make it to the bedroom, but the couch. We pretty much just went after each other right there. It was the kind of four play/sex that you look back on and think about that makes you kind of get excited about in your mind and makes you want to jump your husbands bones immediately. LOL
It had to be this day with how my travel schedule and his work schedule worked out this week, otherwise, there is no way I could have guessed b/c we are a very active couple.

We had been seeing an RE for a while, and I was TIRED of it. I had just told my husband I was done. No more shots, b/w, Dr. visits, charts or obsessing about my CM. I was DONE. Plus, we had had the WORST last few months of sex ever. Very unromantic and several times DH couldn't even finish. It was miserable.
Well, my Grandmother passed away on Christmas Eve. My husband and I both work ALOT, and it forced us to take a few days off to go the the layout, Mass and burial. Since we were finally together we took the opportunity to "be" together. Best. sex. ever.
And on 1-11-11 we got our BFP. YAY!!!!!!
I was in the kitchen starting our New Year's Eve Dinner.
DH brought DD upstairs for her afternoon nap, then came into the kitchen, hugged me from behind and said, "hey... we have a sleeping baby.. we should take advantage of this time.."
Every time he's brought up how hectic it will be with 2 kiddos under 2, I reply, "Well.. good thing we took advantage of our free time when we just had one.."

This is how DD#1 was conceived. We always joke that when she's a teenager we're going to tell her not to hold hands with boys, because she might get pregnant :P

It is so nice to read something happy, having a hard day.
January 6. We had just started trying, and DH pulled out! I was really mad, and we got into a fight about whether or not he was ready to be a dad. He was convinced it'd happen our first try and he wanted it to take awhile and enjoy the process. Well, he was totally right - I got my BFP on January 23! (He is actually thrilled that we're having a baby and has changed his work schedule so he can spend 1 day a week at home with our daughter.)
Love this.
I was at my mom's house! lol. Nothing too exciting about that day at all. We were just hanging out since we were waiting to move in to our apartment the next day.
Amazing though; we both look back on that day now and go, "Who would of thought such a simple day would of changed our lives forever!?" Love it!
I used to HATE, I mean, passionately, vehemently HATE when people would say this to me. I really did. And, right around when I conceived, I did a psychic reading b/c it was a $20 Groupon and she said the same thing, and I said to her, "Ok, well that's nice, but as I just told you, we are not fertile together, but thanks." Ummm. Maybe I should call and thank her.
We decided to start TTC at Thanksgiving (as in, I took my last BCP the Wednesday before, just since it was the end of the pack). I hadn't started to chart, but I had a good idea of when the best time would be - we did "it" about every day that month, but I'm reasonably confident that we conceived on my 26th birthday.
We found out when I took a HPT on Christmas Eve at my parent's house. That story is more funny since my mom filled my stocking with HPTs since she knew I was trying to get pregnant. That night I took one just for fun, so we were extremely shocked when it was a BFP.
On a side note to the OP: 2 Christmases ago I walked in on my parents on Christmas Eve - after making it my whole life without. Craziness.
