R/R: 3 mile run this morning! Potential interview this week! ILs over for BBQ today! No rants (yet).
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be and why?
Ahhhh everything! I really want chickens and a goat. But those are so normal! Giraffes are my favorite animal, and that would have been cool when we had our two story house because he could stick his head in to say good morning!
R/R: TMI: I forgot what periods were like off BCPs for me. Apparently my body is making up for its really light period last month. We're talking Carrie and Jaws down there. I haven't had it this bad since since I was post partum. And i'm in a deal of pain today and pissed because I wanted to hit up the pool.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be and why? I love love love how cute Koala Bears are. I hear they are really mean a hell though. HAHA reminds me of myself. I'm cute and all but I can be mean as hell if you upset me LOL.
@kindbytealikat Are you me? I'm on CD2 and omfg I'm miserable. I hope you feel better today and that you have a chance to hit the pool I've also heard that koalas can be little bastards, but they're so cute!
@ChloandCoco Pandas are great. I just love them. Capybaras are really cute! Hopefully your PMS will ease up!
TWW - Testing: gonna just try to wait for AF. I guess maybe the 23 if no cramps
R/R: so our timing is at a whopping -2 (and that's really only because I didn't even realize I'd O so early and thought we'd have some fun non-TTC bd...luckily). Kind of annoyed at MH about this. Like yea I know the timing of O is not what we expected but dude do you want a baby or not?!
@glitzandglitter usually like a late teens (15-17), so 13 was...different.
I wouldn't be so frustrated about it, but it feels like MH took on this big stressful project when he knew I was in O time and thus was too stressed to HIO. I know he didn't do it on purpose but it just feels like my whole life is vitamins and calendars to get KU and he's just doing whatever. Blah.
@JennyColada - I feel you I have felt that way a lot in the past when I was TTC. My DH doesn't get how much goes into TTC - it sucks. I am pulling for you! I hope you get your BFP soon!
Thank you @glitzandglitter! I've just gotta pull myself up by my boot(bra)straps and keep on with it. it'll happen eventually and when it does I don't think I'll care if we had sex on Wednesday or not or if it took an extra month longer etc.
@JennyColada - I'm sorry your husband isn't as on board as you are. I don't talk to MH about when I'm ovulating or our FW, he thinks it takes the "fun" out of trying and felt used.
@ChloandCoco My H is the same way! When we started trying after about a month he had a freak out about it. He said he was afraid our sex life would change, become mechanical or restrictive and not fun. But he also started taking vitamins and worried about his health which was super cute and showed he cared. They definitely don't worry like us!
We haven't started trying yet, but my H seems to be on board with the charting and all that. So far. This might change when we actually do start trying. Funny story, when I was on my last cycle, I was doing OPK tests and had left the holder thingy for the Clearblue Advanced tests on the bathroom sink (just the holder), and he asked if it was a pregnancy test.
TWW - Testing:Hoping I can hold out testing until next Wed (10dpo) because that is our anniversary, but I have a POAS problem.
R/R: I have a pretty chart. Usually I only have dotted lines, but I actually got a solid temp shift.
GTKY: If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be and why? Dog. Our dog passed a couple years ago and when the kids get a bit older we'll get another one.
@livingthedream - that makes so much more sense. I was in awe of your ability to resist testing. I hardly make it to 10DPO I could never make it to 17 - I have no self control.
@livingthedream - that makes so much more sense. I was in awe of your ability to resist testing. I hardly make it to 10DPO I could never make it to 17 - I have no self control.
I have a problem and usually start testing 3x a day at 7dpo. I have NO control.
@JennyColada, I'm sorry about YH! I had to talk to DH about my cycle last month because we missed my window. Hang in there...-2 isn't terrible!
I'm team POAS. I try to hold out until 10DPO but I've been known to test at 8 days. I'm ridiculous.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting BBT & CM, HIO when DH is home
R/R: I got EWCM today which is a day or two early. DH won't be home until Sunday, so I'm praying I don't O early! I was planning on trying for -2 & -1. We'll see. Timing BD is much harder than it was for DS! *sigh*
GTKY: I don't know. I love my dogs. I think I would just have more dogs if I could.
@LivingTheDream - 3x a day at 7dpo?! Please tell me you are using internet cheapies!
Wondfo. I load up. Once I hit like 9/10dpo I will do FMU with a FRER. I get a 3 pack with my Amazon Subscribe and Save per month so I don't want to use more than that each cycle since those are so $$. I have a problem. I got a + at 8dpo with my second so of course I think this is normal...I know very well it's super early.
To make you feel better I conceived DD#2 with only timing of -3. You are statistically most likely to get KU with the timing of -2 than any other day around ovulation. Sorry if this is huge
@LivingTheDream that is really interesting. Most of the research i'v read says the day before and day of O are most accurate b/e the sperm can only live 2 maybe 3days. I have no idea though just want i've read.
@kindbytealikat, I'm not sure. I think -2 and -1 are the best. I think sperm can live up to 4/5 days, but 3 days is prime before worring about sperm really dying off. I have read different things too and when I was doing IUIs they always tried to shoot for O, but that is with washed sperm being shot directly into your uterus so I don't know if that is by passing some things. Because I read (no idea if true) that sperm need 12-24 hours to "prime" or "ripen" or something like that. and IUIs the male make the deposit at like 6am and they prep it for an IUI in the afternoon, usually around 3 so that is already 9 hours. I think a lot also depends on how long the egg is able to fertilize. Since it could be 12-24 hours if you are on the longer side of that day of O would be better than if it only lasts 12 hours. I think the point is that it's best to have sperm waiting for O the day or two before they start dying off. I often don't know what I"m talking about so take all my google research with a grain of salt.
@LivingTheDream, I've read the same thing about -2 & -1. I just try for as much as I can during FW. *TW With DS we did -4 & -1. *end TW* I'm hoping for -2 & -1 will work for us this cycle!
