Infertility

Lurking on BOTB = Facepalm

So, sometimes I like to torture myself and lurk on other boards.  There is a post on BOTB something along the lines of "I used OPKs and then had sex a lot.  How much chance do I have of being pregnant??"  ::facepalm::  Man...those were the days, eh?

  • I wish I could go back to the days of being so naive although I don't think I ever took it that far.

  • makes you wonder if she knows how to read the OPKs... I have found that those who are incapable of doing the most minimal research tend to also be the people who don't always read the directions very well... LOL And yes, I am completely jealous...

  • Well she just said that she "used" OPK's. She didn't say that they were positive or anything?!?! And hopefully she'll be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to worry about that. (For her sake anyways)

    I'm jealous too. I'm not even going to hide it. Not so much that she's not having issues (or not having them yet at least) but that that you can be so blase about the whole thing. I want to be happy, relaxed and just having sex alot. (That actually sounds pretty good right about now! Stupid SA in the morning...)

    1 year?!  Geez...when I filled out my RE/IVF paperwork I had to figure up the number of cycles that we have been having unprotected sex with no baby.  FORTY SEVEN.  47!!!!  I am sure there are ladies here who have been trying longer, but forty seven cycles?!  Long gone are the days of the idea that I would get off birth control and be pg in 6 months!  Or the thought I could just have sex a lot between CD9 - CD17.  :o  Totally jealous.
