Trying to Get Pregnant

The Big "O" while H is out of town!

This is just a rant.....

This will be mine and DH's first cycle trying for baby #2 and he is out of town on business until Monday!!  I have been charting for a few months to prep for this very moment and I should be ovulating on Sunday (BOOOO).  Here's to hoping I'm late!

  • Ugh - this happened to me last month.  Turns out I ovulated the day he got home (albeit I still got a BFN last cycle :o( it worked out)

  • It's funny because we are both sooo into getting pregnant this time around and I am trying to NOT let it stress me out.  For our first son we had both decided that we just weren't going to prevent pregnancy, and while we certainly wanted a baby, we were happy with letting it just happen when my body was ready.  No stress there and 6 months later I was pregnant.  No schedules, no charting, no stress.

    BUT, this time I feel like we are putting way to much pressure on ourselves to conceive and it is driving me up a wall.  We've been preparing for months (he's even on a regimine of vitamins, etc) because our son is already 4 and we don't want to have any larger an age difference between him and a new baby.  But ughhh, I need to just relax, lol.

  • I completely feel your pain!  My DH and I decided to start trying in May and he has been out of town for the last four cycles during my FW.  I've been charting, taking vitamins etc. etc. and I am getting incredibly anxious!  I just want one cycle to know at least we tried!  According to FF, I'm supposed to O on Sunday, as well, and my DH is leaving for the airport really early that morning.  I'm hoping I O early and you O late! GL to you ladies!

    Ughhhh, I can't think of a nicer way to put this (unfortunately) but doesn't this just SUCK?!?!  We all spend so much time preparing and then somewhere along the road our bodies drop the ball.  No fair!

    In either event, thank you for the well wishes...and good luck to you too!!

    Yes, sucks is the only word to describe it, lol!  It's really almost comical at this point, I feel like someone is trying to tell me something.  At least we can say we are really, really prepared:)!  In the meantime, I'm contemplating opening up a travel points credit card so I can wrack up some travel points and start jetting away to where the DH is traveling on business!

  • I'm in the same boat as you!

    H left for a business trip Sunday night and comes home tomorrow. At first I was hoping I'd O early on Monday but then nothing and then I was hoping it'd be late but nope, pretty sure I O'ed today. Awesome! 

    Let's hoping some post O sex works and if not, then on to the next cycle.
