Most Embarrassing Thing you Did For the Sake of TTC?

During my 6 month of TTC I have begun finding myself crossing more and more of my "I would never" lines from the day I started. Originally, I was going to be super zen and not chart. It would happen when it happened. Now I take about 6 tests a day. Then, I was not going to check my CM and now I do excessively. That being said what is the most embarrassing thing you have done for the sake of TTC? Here is my story:
OK, I am going to say thing and then vehemently deny it never happened. I had recently read about the importance of clear eggwhite, CM. To my surprise, the first time I found it there was a lot of it! I understood how it helped the sperm live longer and swim when the egg came out. After removing it and reviewing it (yes this is gross) I realized, "Oh no, I took it all out. How will the sperm survive?" This seemed like a reasonable thought at the time...I think you can see where this is going....So I attempted to put it back in. It was, well, a disaster. Later I told my DH. He said "You make more and now I am supposed to have sex with you? Your lucky your adorable."
Blek. Please share. I'm not insane right?

I text DH an emoticon of a bikini on nights when he needs to not work late and come home because I'm fertile. We were at a party last weekend, and a tipsy guy that DH works with had taken his phone (Which I hate! Why do people do that? Give my DH his d@mn phone so I know who I'm calling/texting!), and asked, loudly, "Why does your wife text you so many pictures of underwear?"
There's just no good answer to that question.
I got nothing.
But OP, how did you even attempt that???
OP, that was hilarious!
All I've done is propped my hips up and kept my legs in the air. Because that scene in The Big Lebowski is one of my favorites, and I wanted to be like Maude.
"Love me." "Thats my robe."

TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
well yesterday I pulled out the preseed for the first time and DH started playing with the applicators and saying things like, you fill it up where? that's a lot of lube don't cha think?
and then we had a long discussion about not using the applicators, etc. I never in my life thought I would have a drawn out conversation about LUBE. And I wasn't even blushing.

Since I pretty much just started TTC I'm still trying to act all nonchalant about the whole thing so I haven't done anything crazy that would make for a good story. But I'm sure my time will come!
Haha! I love this! Sounds like my DH... he is just so perplexed by all things TTC. Its funny to witness a male reaction to these types of things.
Op that's hilarious!
Once we started TTC, I was shocked at how messy it is. We had always used condoms before and after our first time without, stuff just got everywhere. Since then I've tried to have something disposable nearby so when we're done it doesn't get everywhere on my way to the bathroom. Epic fail when I forgot and reached for it quickly without telling DH - arms and legs everywhere, thought I broke him and we still made a mess. Was actually pretty darn funny.

Haha. I haven't done that one before but I am sure it is just a matter of time!

Is it wrong that this seems completely reasonable to me
?

I have done basically the same thing and I'm glad that DH has always also had things to do and didn't see it.
haha, im glad that someone else finds this reasonable!
i suppose i will also admit to laying in bed afterwards with my feet in the air and spend 10-15 min lotioning up my legs!
