How did you get KU?

bigbootyjudi · October 2012

How did you get KU? I know, you had sex, but...forget your pill? you were trying? your nail popped a whole in the condom? you have no clue? you're that 1 in 2,000?

For me, it was a game called "Just the tip..." combined with my terrible habit of skipping BCPs, which is still reigning supreme. Good thing we're using condoms as a backup method. No 2u2 for me, please.

Oh, I should also add...we moved in together October 1st. KU a month later, lol. All that alone time...

I was on the pill and was taking antibiotics in November because of a sinus infection and strep throat. I had never gotten pregnant before while taking antibiotics in the 8 years I had been on bc so I was super shocked when I tested right before Christmas and it was positive.

Science: a petri dish and a really great Reproductive Endrocronologist! No sex for us. Lots of shots and pills!

klmcguire · October 2012

Hhahah Love this!!!

Well for us it was a night we can't remember!

1 TO MANY FLAMING DR PEPPERS!

CrazyDaisy8 · October 2012

I got pregnant the second month I was off the pill. Nothing exciting here haha

MeredithML · October 2012

We stopped using any bc and said whatever happens happens. We weren't planning cycles but we weren't preventing anything either.

merricksmom · October 2012

We got wrecked at the bar and had drunk, sloppy sex for the first time in over a month. We hadn't been using any type of BC for 3 years and had lo luck conceiving. So I was very surprised. Especially because the week before I found out my sister was pregnant for the second time in the time we had been trying to conceive. I was sad, depressed and super jealous.

Nikko Blue · October 2012

We were trying. I was charting and doing OPKs. Got a BFP on our 6th month.

CJM20 · October 2012

No protection for 5 months. Over Thanksgiving, had the house to ourselves. December 16th tested positive.

sammiesjd414 · October 2012

We had been trying for 6 months with no luck. We decided to take a break because it was getting frustrating and i didn't want an august/fall baby because i am a teacher. That month we had sex ONCE. It was Thanksgiving weekend. Surprise!

Same here. Let's not forgot the god awful Lupron suppression and PIO for 10 weeks afterwards.

sdlaura · October 2012

I think it's obvious from my siggy that we were definitely trying!

We hosted a bunch of friends for Thanksgiving dinner and I'm pretty sure we conceived that night.

I should also add that even with very good insurance it cost $4000. If we had been OOP it would have cost around $20,000.

I was lucky no Lupron suppression and PIo for only one week after. My medical bills for IVF were 27,000 dollars in 2011 (well, that did count my gall bladder surgery and teeth surgery, but I think that was only 1 or 2 thousand). That didn't count the 3500 in non-covered prenatal care between January and February 16 when they released me at 14 weeks. I'm jealous of everybody who can get magically pregnant!

. Same here. In terms of getting pregnant, I feel like I come from a different universe than most of the women on here.

i should know better than to open posts like this.

ExcitedFTM · October 2012

We had been trying for a year, clomid for 7 months and finally conceived on the first try using letrozole. We knew I was ovulating.

Eh, getting pregnant isn't the issue for me...staying pregnant is. But, I'm jealous too, of everyone that doesn't have any complications/doesn't have to take progesterone...which is like the devil's drug. That sh!t made me SO sick. 20,000 is ridiculous. Christ.

lady_tytah · October 2012

Weren't necessarily trying. We were enjoying our honey moon but a positive test didn't show until I was almost 7 weeks.

. Did you also have to get those god awful PIO shots that leave welts on the arse? Sucks,doesn't it?

Jillwithani · October 2012

A long weekend of a Drake concert and some Cleveland Browns football= missing bcp for 2 days!

Edit: It was a shock to me as I'd been told a sticky baby wouldn't be possible without medical intervention.

I will say that I do truly feel blessed that, as my RE puts itr, my baby making parts dont work, but my baby holding parts are magnificent. I cant imagine going through a m/c.

BabyG813 · October 2012

Decided to start trying on our vacation to Belize last November. Lots of awesome carefree vacation sex... and my typically regular cycle was late in December. NEVER thought it'd happen so quickly!

exc1tedforbaby1 · October 2012

Thanksgiving day quickie? Um.. Yea.. Combined with putting in my Nuvaring a day or two late and.. Here we are. :]

gollywollypog · October 2012

Thanksgiving conception here. We were going out of town on Friday and would be staying in a house full of family members so we dtd to hold us over. I had gotten a bfp 4 weeks before that ended in a very early loss around 2 weeks later. So I assumed my cycle would be wonky. It wasn't.

No, just vaginal suppositories twice a night. My vagina did break out in a rash at first though, that was fun. I basically called off half my days for the first five months. I lost 20 pounds and just puked my brains out every day. It sucked, because at that time I was lurking on here and everyone was complaining about "regular" morning sickness, and really...that's all I wanted...just normal pregnancy symptoms.

ashS10309 · October 2012

Was off bc for 2 years semi avoiding it. Seriously tried for 5 months. I feel very blessed it happened quickly all it took was a dirty movie rental in our new house ;

CLeigh03 · October 2012

13 months of trying for us! I was ovulating and it was thanksgiving morning. We snuck it in before DS woke up. I had a horrible cold and it was the last thing I felt like doing.

nicari_13 · October 2012

We tried for three months before I started temping. I got pregnant the first month after that.

CRey13 · October 2012

Buzzed thanksgiving sexy time. We weren't trying but we weren't preventing either. Didn't think anything about it until dec 23 when I was like something's up

Daniellekrista · October 2012

Off bc for 10 months. Bfp 10 days after we dtd.

In regard to money, my zofran pump cost 40k. Thank goodness for great insurance.

Thank goodness insurance covered that! Even with insurance, a zofran pump is still pricey, right? My friend had one that was several hundred a month!

Cheerilee · October 2012

BCP muscle relaxers and some wine did it I believe. We had sex ONE time that month and well... The best oops to ever happen.

Keoh1215 · October 2012

I was on the pill and took it religiously. It just so happened to be the pill that Pfizer recalled in February for mistakes with packaging....surprise! I wouldn't change it for the world though...

ashleigha894 · October 2012

meredithcole:
DS is the result of DH's birthday sex I stopped taking the pill mid-November and DH's birthday is 11/30 so I got pregnant immediately.

This was us. I stopped taking my pill because it was making me depressed and we got pregnant on DH's birthday 11-19.

mmdailey · October 2012

Wow. Mine is really different from everyone else's. My husband and I broke up and he moved out at the end of October. I started feeling lonely around the end of November and my resistance buckled. It was a big shock when I found out 8 weeks later, especially since I'd been told I had PCOS, had done Clomid years before and basically told that there was no chance of me conceiving. Here we are a year later and still broken up, but now I have all the family I need!

thepretzelchick · October 2012

Got pregnant almost exactly one month after our wedding. I didn't want to be on BC because it turned women in my family into monsters, so we were just using condoms and the rhythm method, but clearly that didn't work! I should have known, though, since DH and his siblings were conceived despite his parents using three forms of contraception every time. Needless to say, I'm on BC and we won't be DTD as often as we were.

emandjp · October 2012

We had been trying for 16 months. Just started going to an RE, he did an ultrasound and saw I was about to ovulate which I knew from charting for so long, had me do Opks so they could schedule a PCT post coital test. We were babysitting our niece and nephew, I got a opk and we dtd once they fell asleep! I found out just after Thanksgiving and we joked that the RE was so good, he didn't even have to do treatments to get his pateients pregnant! We were scheduled to do iui for the next cycle...but luckily we never made it that far!

AprilAngie · October 2012

We were ttc doing opks and got pregnant on month three of trying. All my kids were planned other than my first. We went to my Xmas party and drank and had wild sex that night so that was the trick I think

This. Had been doing fertility treatments for 3 years leading up to our successful IVF.

Andreabks · October 2012

we were trying and had been for 2 years (see siggy). Had a bunch of family in town for Thanksgiving and ovulated the next week. with all the stress of his family all being in town I thought we missed our window (first month of not temping in 2 years), and then 2 weeks later i started running into walls i was so dizzy. that's been my tell all 3 times we've been pregnant.

soon as it implants i'm dizzy as heck for about a week.
