Storytime: Do you remember the night you got pregnant?

Well, obviously we all know "how" you got pregnant, but are there any good stories or memorable nights to tell as to how your little angels came to be? Were you TTC or were you surprised?  We all know roughly when we got pregnant so let's hear it ladies! Here's mine...

I know for sure when I got pregnant (within a day or so) as it was the only time I had baby danced within that timeframe. The guy I was occasionally seeing at the time and I went out to an opening night hockey game; and our team won in double overtime. Overall it was a super fun night, we celebrated by him drinking lots of beer and me lots of strawberry margaritas. I tracked my cycles religiously and knew I would be ovulating around this time frame; but drunk me didn't care and we baby danced without any protection. (I know, how responsible.) I usually can tell when I ovulate as I get cramps mid month on one side and I felt these cramps the following day at work. I took a Plan B that very night; but alas it was too late! Leading up to my positive pregnancy test; my Google search was full of "Plan B effectiveness post ovulation". It didn't come with very reassuring news;  and here we are today telling this story. Overall, I feel blessed that my Plan B failed. This babe's a welcomed surprise in my life and I couldn't be happier for their arrival. <3

    @RideNRunMomma our stories are pretty similar... 

    We had been off of birth control for about 10 days since we had gone back and fourth with the idea of trying to have a baby. I knew it was possible based on a fertility tracking app I was using, but I didn't really think it would work (same reason - had been on BC for 10 years). We went up to his cousins farm for dinner drinks and a bonfire, came home and BD that night and the next morning. Then 12 days later I was super impatient and took two tests one said positive and one negative so I sat on our bed and cried myself to sleep. The next day I tested again because I was convinced - boom happy ending. And then I took about 6 more tests because I'm crazy and didn't believe it. 
  • Halloween night..... Lol
  • It was somewhere between October 18th and 20th. I went off BCP in May and we started using condoms until August, as I figured it would take awhile for my body to adjust after being on BC for 8 years. In August we decided to take condoms away and see what happened. I was charting this whole time so I knew when I was ovulating. My DH had been out of town farming with his Dad for a week and when he got back home, we weren't even thinking about when I ovulated, we just missed each other. I took a test on Nov.2nd because I wasn't having any PMS symptoms and even though we had been trying was still surprised and excited to see Pregnant on the digital test.

  • I was tracking temps so I know it was around October 16. We had been trying for one month previously, but I was really stressed and my temperatures showed that. I finally started to relax when we went on vacation to Disneyland with family and tada! She is our Disney baby. My husband is always joking about how magical Disney is. I found out on Halloween. I had a really high temp spike that day so I took a test early. I got a really strong positive right away. I started screaming and my husband cried. It was a great moment. 
  • We had 2 weddings 2 weekends in a row and I'm pretty sure it was the second wedding just based on dating! It was the first night alone without ds who was 3 months at the time, he stayed over at his grandparents house. We went to our good friends wedding and our best friends told us they were 5 weeks pregnant, after many cocktails dh and I both said we wanna have a baby the same time as them! Lol many many drinks! We both woke up with quite the hangover and 4 weeks later found out we were pregnant! They say you are very fertile after having a baby, we'll in my case it was true! I was still breast feeding at the time also! I will def start bc after LO is born 3 under 3 is not happening over here! 
  • October 12 aka first day of my last period.... 
  • We had an early loss in June during a phase of NTNP.  We took the summer off to heal.  I read TCOYF in that time and started temping which is when I realized I ovulated earlier than average (CD14 you liar).  We started actively TTC in September and then got our BFP in early November.  Based on temping there are 3 times it could be, but the best timing was actually a
    night neither of us were super into it.  Oh well, sex is sex and here we are!

  • @tmk0325 I'm a Packers fan and with my first baby I was told it was a girl so when I gave birth to a boy he didn't have a name...the day I spent in labor was the day that Aaron Rodgers came back after being injured for so long in 2013 so I half jokingly said we should name our name-less baby boy Aaron...it wound up on the short list and ended up being the "winner" so now I have a 2 year old named Aaron (my husband is a Giants fan though so he won't admit why it's his name ;))
