Trying to Get Pregnant
*WTO Wednesday*
This discussion has been closed.
Re: *WTO Wednesday*
CD: 12
What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, BBT, OPKs, CM, I WOULD LIKE SEX PLZ
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Didn’t get around to having sex again last night, but we talked about it (or, rather, he talked himself through it, haha). As frustrating as it is that we’ve been unable to make or find time these past few days, I feel good knowing that he recognizes why I’m upset. Now, hopefully, the discussion spurs some action (ALL THE PUNS).
GTKY- What's for dinner?: I never know what’s for dinner, haha. I should probably look up a recipe or something…
@3houlagirl You’ve been starting a lot lately! Mind if I come over for dinner?
Fingers
crossed you get a vacay-baby this cycle!!
@DaikokuJess In this case, your sarcasm/skepticism is holding a flashing neon sign. Good luck with figuring out dinner!
@physiomeg1623 Fingers crossed this cycle isn’t too long for you.
@ginger1228 I’ve been having a similar problem. Hopefully our guys get on the ball!
@sdrhodes12 I go back and forth, too. I think in most cases ED is fine, but I’m leaning toward EOD so my husband gets a break/doesn’t get bored.
@yogiveg Sorry for CD1.
@EricaLee715 Ugh, that sucks! I hate it when my body plays period games with me. *hug*
Wine&Cupcakes I’m the worst at drinking water, too. Having a water bottle with me all day helps, though!
@elwing6284 Yay for +OPK

What are you doing to get pregnant?: allllllll the stuff. Preseed should be here just in time for my FW.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: NTTGPR, but I'm hearing good things about Quest protein bars, but I can't find them. Anyone eat these? Do they have them at Target? I need something for pre and/or post workout. I'm in SC.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Welllllll, speaking of working out, I'm planning on having light cheese pizza from Papa Johns tonight :-). They have 40% off all large pizzas right now!
CD: 20
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Stuff. And nonsense. Mostly stuff.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Ovulation mood swing. I hates it. Glad I'm ovulating, though. (Edit to trim.). Argh. Too much to do.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight.
CD: 16
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Charting CM & opk, EOD sex
Rants/raves/chartstalks: DH decided to tell all of his buddies that we are ttc #2.... No pressure or anything ::headdesk::
GTKY- What's for dinner?: probably leftovers, DH is golfing after work tonight and won't be home
CD: 18
What are you doing to get pregnant?: sex, charting, a shit-ton of vitamins
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Do I need to take anything into consideration with my temps when the A/C is blasting in the house all night?
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Pad Thai, although Little Hippo is with grandma until Friday so I think I'll try to convince H that we should go our for our first date night in our new city.
CD: 22
What are you doing to get pregnant?:the usual...temping, opk's, trying for sex EOD
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I got EWCM yesterday and a nearly positive opk today! I am so excited that after my heartbreaking early loss last cycle I am going to ovulate soon! (hopefully!)

@3houlagirl ~ FX this surge is the real thing for you this time
@delujm0 ~ Oooooh! House shopping. Have fun!
@DaikokuJess ~ Sorry you are having a stressful time at work. FX it gets better soon!
@babynica ~ Yeah, I can imagine how “fun” that would be if you didn’t temp orally with your DS.
@flyinghorses6 ~ I would say to not do the “don’t temp” thing, personally. I think it would make this whole process a lot more of a guessing game, not knowing what is going on.
@GHStarfish ~ Have a good trip
@nittanyllama ~ FX you get your CHs soon
@physiomeg1623 ~ FX your cycle isn’t as long as you are anticipating it will be
@SNMA310 ~ Meatloaf muffins sound awesome right now.
@PenguinMG ~ {hugs}
@frankenmom ~ Have you considered wondofos instead of the digital ones? I have heard nothing good about the digital ones. They seem to cause more confusion than actually providing helpful info
@Bee1112 ~ Yay! Glad you are feeling good again! FX for you
@ginger1228 ~ FX you can get some good timing in
@pmreed79 ~ Dinner sounds great at your house! I love risotto!
@EricaLee715 ~ Hope your renovation is going well. If full flow started today, I would count today as CD1. Sorry
@sdrhodes12 ~ From what I understand, ED wont deplete sperm counts unless YH has a known issue with counts
@yagiveg ~ So sorry for CD1
@kelley72 ~ Hope you have a great day. Enjoy your tacos tonight
@shmurrow06 ~ FX your timing works out better than anticipated. Cycle 1 is always hard, not knowing what your body is up to
@kristyn831 ~ Do you mind if I ask what the 831 stands for in your name?
@Wine&Cupcakes ~ Cutting back on caffeine was hard for me. FX for you!
@gypsymermaid ~ Nope, not weird at all. Some days, I think ice cream for dinner is totally appropriate.
@dmsmth ~ FX you turn an OPK soon. Your temps combined with CM look like you are headed in the right direction
@GR8TDANEMOM ~ Sex week. Love it!
@nettje ~ Vacation sex is the best. FX it works out well for you
@elwing6284 ~ Yay for a +OPK!
@hydrangea1019 ~ Your cry fest is completely understandable. Take care of yourself.
@YogiKC0519 ~ FX you get your CHs soon and your timing works out well which whatever day it ends up being
@Diordra ~ Glad you are having a good day!
@osesecret ~ There is nothing better than eating from your own garden. I love it
@itshumpday ~ Sounds like the green tea is working for you. And that is great timing! Nice job
@epidemic ~ Glad your timing worked out well!
@SammiC217 ~ I too am hoping you don’t have another 54 day cycle. FX this one is more straightforward for you
@rainbowsandunicorns ~ GL at your appointment today
@ramaholic ~ FX you get some good timing in!
@mbbach ~ I am sure you can find some ways to have non-vanilla type sex. Also, now I want chipotle for lunch.
@Musikalbunni ~ Peanut butter and milk for dinner sounds awesome on some nights
@SJFTCA ~ Have fun with the preseed. They mean it when they say a little goes a long way.
@Ladymouse ~ FX you get to move over to TWW soon
@hoping&waiting12 ~ DH decided to tell a couple of his friends at dinner a few months back. I was shocked because we had JUST talked about not telling anyone. We went to dinner with them the other night and of course they are asking… awesome
@MamaZEsquire ~ Sending you all the hugs. Sorry you are having a rough week.
@HippoTooth ~ I vote for date night. Go have fun!
@PinkRoses53 ~ Yay for O! FX for you
Cycle/month: 4
CD: 11
What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping, charting, PNV, POM, OPKs, ED Sex, Preseed.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Holy temp drop. Looks like it is my O dip, but DANG! Not sure what my temp rise is going to look like, and I hope that FF can still determine O. My pre-O temps have been really high lately, with temps that I only generally have post-O. So we will see what the next couple of days bring. Oh, I also finally know what people mean when they are talking about O PAINS. It has never been painful for me before, just like a pulling or whatever. This time, it is much more intense. It’s kinda cool
GTKY- What's for dinner? I have chicken and corn on the cob leftovers from last night. But I am really wanting Fajitas tonight. Might have DH take me out.
Me: 25, DH: 28, Baby #1 Due: April 30, 2015
Team BLUE!!
Cycle/month: 3
CD: 6
What are you doing to get pregnant? EOD Sex, OPKs, Preseed, Maca root supplement and raspberry leaf tea
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am very impatient and staring my OPKs today - negative, of course. TG for Wondfos.
GTKY- What's for dinner? Veggie lasagna using yellow squash, zucchini, and broccoli, and tomatoes from my garden. Favorite summer meal! Also, cookie dough ice cream for dessert. I'm obsessed with cookie dough ice cream.
Month/cycle: 2
Cd: 9
What are you doing: bbt, cm, cp and about to begin EOD until cd 16, then I'm bumping it up to every day through cd20
Rants/raves/chart stalks: last night of DH's midnight shift for a few days. It will be nice get reacquainted with him.
GTKY: probably pasta and garlic bread as I'll be walking in the door and have exactly an hour with DH before he walks out the door to work.
Good luck ladies
@SJFTCA - honestly, the only people I know who eat Quest bars are those with eating disorders. I would veer away from those puppies.
CD: 6
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Charting temp, starting EOD sex tonight. It's too early for it to be "productive" but it's fun practice.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing yet. I'm having terrible pain on my right side, but it's got to be gas this early in my cycle.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Date night! We're going out for French food.
@kelley72 I always have liquid in the crock pot with chicken. I know someone who makes roast chicken in her crock pot with no liquid, but she does leave the skin on. I've never tried it.
@ramaholic you can come over for sure! As long as you watch old episodes of Deep Space Nine with me

What are you doing to get pregnant?: This is my first postpartum cycle. I'm still breastfeeding and at this point I'm just waiting to see what my cycles will be like. Not temping yet, just going to start using OPKs around CD 12 to see if I can catch a surge that way. I'm more concerned with seeing how my cycle plays out rather than getting pregnant at this point. We will definitely be more actively trying in the next couple of months though.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nah.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Homemade tacos!

CD: 19
What are you doing to get pregnant?: EOD sex
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I keep saying we'll do ED sex, but have come to the realization that is just not gonna happen.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Salmon! Not sure how I'm gonna cook it yet.
CD: 6
What are you doing to get pregnant?: preseed, green tea until O, temping, PNV, starting OPK on CD 10, EOD
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am still confused with AF. Still spotting, going on 4 days now. Face is breaking out like woah which is very unusual for me. I typically have a few blemishes 5 days prior to AF but not this early in cycle.
CD: 1
What are you doing to get pregnant?: waiting out AF...then EOD sex and temping.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I have been having super heavy cycles since I had DD. (She is 20 months) CD2 I usually go through a tampon in about an hour and large clots. I finally got on my big girl pants and went to the OB to make sure I didn't have something going on before TTC again. He says oh just try some ibuprofen....I feel like that much bleeding isn't normal. I don't want to go on birth control right now though so I guess I just have to wait it out. Anyone else have this problem??
GTKY- What's for dinner?: I am not sure yet...but meatloaf is sounding good now. So maybe that!!
tmessy we actually live uptown right now but are trying to move to one of the lakes (H would like our boat to be in his backyard now instead of at a marina 40 minutes away). It is complicating things. Apparently it is super easy to buy a house anywhere in Charlotte...except for at the lakes. but we're being picky about a potential commute, so we're concentrating on Mountain Island Lake and the southwestern part of Lake Norman only (off of 16, not 77), and therefore we don't have as much inventory to consider. :-/
it's not a desperate situation yet, but it will be one whenever i get pregnant. because i don't think raising a baby in a 1 bedroom high rise condo tower in the middle of the city is going to work for us. we don't even have a bathtub. it is not child friendly.
CD: 12
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Temping, OPKs, Sex EOD, Green Tea, POM
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Just keeping my FX that this cycle is more normal than the last.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Turkey Chili Taco Soup One of my favs!

What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping, sex, uhhhhh
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I just bought AdvoCare and became a distributor. Super excited about that. Besides the fact that I am bored? not much else.
GTKY- What's for dinner?:SHIT. I forgot to take something out to defrost. So how does frozen mini cheeseburgers and corndogs sound????
Hysteroscopy 10/28/14 - septum removed
HSG 10/31/14 - All Clear!
@tmessy The promo code is SUM40, which made me think of the 90s band Sum41, which then made me think of Derrick Whibley and how scary he looks. He apparently has an alcohol problem and was hospitalized and looks like he weighs 100 pounds.
Cycle/month: 6/6
CD: 2
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Temping, OPKs, prenatals, green tea before O, acupuncture sometimes, EOD sex
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Just happy to be starting a new cycle after a couple of days in limbo.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: Probably leftover soup from last night. It wasn't that great. How do you spice up your vegetable soup? I feel like it was missing some parmesan cheese sprinkles.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, Exercising and eating better, Temping
Rants/raves/chartstalks: HSG was today and it wasn't that bad actually. Now I have to wait two days to have sex. Seeing RE on Friday to go over bloodwork in detail and then we go from there. Glad to get things moving forward.

DH: 30

Cycle/month: 2/2
CD: 3
What are you doing to get pregnant?:
All the usual things
Rants/raves/chartstalks: just started temping & my thermometer is coming up with the same temp every day... Which I know means the battery is shot.., probably from DH's hypochondriasis & checking his temp every 2 seconds.
is it the end of the world if I miss a few days of temping (early in cycle days)? I'll get a new one tomorrow.
GTKY- What's for dinner?: went out to eat at a little local place. Pulled pork & salad. It was awesome. Had a harpoon & DS was well behaved.
