Fertility cheese. That's totally a thing.

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

I've had like 50 questions for you brainy ladies over the last couple weeks but didn't want to be brash as we hadn't been properly introduced, soooo....

As a medical professional (who even spent time in REI) I have been shocked at the things I didn't know about trying to conceive. The newb blog was actually more helpful than all my textbooks lol. The hubby and I sort of went from planning on having a baby in 5 years to whipping out the IUD and HIO within one week after a family emergency. Even though we haven't been trying for long, we only have a couple months when the timing works before we have to put off having a family for another 4 years. So we're throwing everything we've got at it: preseed, temping, water, PNV, CM charting, wondfo OPK, essence of exceptionally fertile armadillo, lots of cheese...

How do you spell BSC again?

traversity773 · May 2014

where can you get this essence of exceptionally fertile armadillo... and wheres the stats?

Good luck and I hope your stay here is short.

suzysurparis · May 2014

I had the same plan last year. I hope it works for you, but be ready for it to not happen right away. Especially if you havent already been charting/temping/timing/etc. Instead of me getting pregnant on the first go-round (even with charting), a close friend got KU right away. So good luck, but don't bet on anything.

Just curious, what would make ttc during the next four years impracticle but raising a child during the same time frame be ideal/good timing?

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

@Sjpmcfmd And I was just riding the "maybe-we-just-made-a-baby-morning-sex high." I'll be starting a year of research soon so even if sh*t goes down and I have to go on bed rest or something, it's all good. Plus I'll be at home during the early months. There won't be a time like that again for a few years. If I were to get knocked up, hubby would be a study at home dad during those years, so even tho I'll be busy we'll be able to manage

kelley72 · May 2014

I'm confused by your timing/response but wish you well regardless!

traversity773 · May 2014

We were a "study at home dad" family. And its stressful. Just FYI. Doable, but not easy. Im really glad that time is over.

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

I had a good morning and I think all that oxytocin gave the wrong impression. I have too many friends and loved ones going through infertilty, so I am painfully aware that things rarely go according to plan. Since I'm a worst-case-scenario kind of girl we're starting off trying everything but the kitchen sink right off the bat. As for our timing: I am in medical training so if I got pregnant and something went wrong and I had to go on bed rest or, god forbid, spend months in the NICU, there is no option for me to take that time off. However, in a few months I'll be putting myl training on hold for a year to do clinical research, which I can do from home. So I could stay home on bed rest if I needed to, and be home to breast feed/ play peekaboo for the first few months the baby is born. After my research year, my husband can spend the next few years at home, while working on passing his qualifying exams to keep him sharp/ sane. I have been a nanny and I know how tough it can be. So we have discussed this ad nauseum for the last three and a half years to be sure that it's doable and the best decision for our family

theholmanherd · May 2014

Yeah, maybe you're just not wording it right or something, but it doesn't sound like you're ready. You're trying to fit the baby into your schedule instead of the other way around. And saying things like "I just don't have the option of time off" is almost a guarantee you'll need to (Murphy's law anyone?). But seriously, if it came down to it and your kid needed you, you would take the time off. Be prepared for your career plans to be derailed for a while, or be prepared for a lot of child care expenses. Personally, you sound way too busy for a baby right now. If I may, what are you two studying to become?

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

Correct. He wont be working, the studying is for him to do when he wants. And we plan on having a sitter for relief/sanity time. I'm sorry, I didn't realize my intro would be bad news bears. I'll leave you ladies alone to enjoy this sunny May morning.

suzysurparis · May 2014

@SenoritaCupcake, no worries, we're happy you're in the group and trying and we wish you luck, etc. I just kinda hear myself in the "I can get pregnant THIS month and no other month" thing and I know that it sucks when it doesnt happen. I've got friends who struggled with infertility too, but get ready for your own jealousy if you dont get KU right away and one of your super-close friends does. It's like magic how that happens.

catmagick · May 2014

Um, I really don't understand why you are GBCBing OP. Like, no one was even remotely rude. Just asking questions to try and understand what you were saying. And anyone who disagreed did so very gently. Why are you getting a butthurt?

Ya know, just in case.

I'm not the OP lol

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

Actually we figured out that that kind of sexin doesn't make a whole lotta babies so my butt is feeling fine

@theholmanherd‌ Neonatologist (physician), so I will never not be too busy, and actuary. Luckily I married an incredible man who makes fabulous grilled cheese and is willing to put his career on hold so we can start a family. @Whitney101411‌ I'm off the caffeine so I'm totally lost on the photo thing?

Huh? I'm so confused by this. Are you saying you had anal sex?
And my friend is in med school, about to start his internship and his wife is expecting their first. It's extremely stressful for them. Think long and hard about it before you have a baby in the middle of all that.

AnonymousNurse · May 2014

I came here for the cheese. I'm very disappointed.

PrimRoseMama · May 2014

Damn it where is the cheese?!

SenoritaCupcake · May 2014

I appreciate all the concern for my mental well being and that of my future children. I have thought long and hard and discussed my decision with medical students, residents, and physicians that I respect, including my program director. And Yes, it was an anal sex joke. Now about the cheese...

That's cool, my husband makes really good homemade Mac and Cheese. I'm glad you figured out anal doesn't make babies! That's a painful lesson to learn.

icaughtfire · May 2014

So...cheese?

PrimRoseMama · May 2014

This thread had me thinking I would be doing this tonight...

jt305 · May 2014

Ladies---seriously--Oreo's yesterday, cheese today, YUMMY (just not together). It is almost lake season (in mid-mo) and I need to stay focused on eating healthy.

((scowling as I grab my carrots))

You cannot work from home and take care of a child at the same time. You do realize you will still have to have child care for that time, correct?

Not entirely true. I managed fine when DD was a baby - much harder now that she's older

mommy2C · May 2014

Screw this cheese BS. I'm so in love with Mint Oreos the last few days. It is heading in the same direction of my hotdog fetish of last week. And that is the most usefu thing I have to contribute to this thread.

My man and I word opposite shifts. I work usually 8 to 5pm and my man works 10 to 7 am. Enough time for me to get the car then go to work. He usually sleeps while Adrian takes a nap.
