oh my gosh...this thread is awesome! Just why I needed after a full day of traveling for work
So my list -
1. I definitely hold my legs above my head after sex...but only for as long as it takes for DH to come back in the room, he would think I was crazy (and right fully so!)
2. Countdown to pregnancy is now in my frequently visited websites, I love the DPO and probability of BFP/BFN
3. I frequently visit BBC to look at posts of people who’ve gotten BFPs early on in their cycle (like 7-10dpo) to see if I have any hope that cycle
4. @kristah2 TW**(BFP & loss) I technically had what seemed to be my period, although light, before my last BFP, which unfortunately ended in a loss **end TW, so now when we are off the bench I’m totally going to POAS even after my period, just in case ya know?? Lol
5.@galactickates I too check the December board multiple times a day. I feel like since they put it up so early it’s going to be full of people who think they “may be” KU!
I have definitely held my legs in the air. In the beginning, I would stay like that for 45 minutes. Now, 20 minutes. I am slowly returning to my logical self.
@maureenmce I am all about the dream weavers Although, if a friend of mine suggested this was a sign, I would roll my eyes repeatedly. Hypocrisy is big part of the TTC journey
You know ladies, back in the olden days we TTGP regs would go on our “future” BMBs and the first thread would be hypothetical. It was actually pretty fun. I’d start the tradition again but I think I’d get flamed with this group
@jrm_14 - I've wanted to do the taping opks but Im not sure how to explain that to my husband. I doubt he'd care...but I definitely wouldn't want to straight up tell him. Idk why
Which made me think does everyone's H know the stuff you do or do you hide the bsc?
@galactickates I’m sure MH has seen some of my crazy TTC shenanigans. I tell him to go away & mine his own bees wax
There is no way he know what I chart, how often I chart (& stare at it), all the hook & articles I read, etc. He does see all the Prime purchases, though.
Eta: We have our own bathroom drawers. I keep paper, tape, & whatnot in mine.
Lol @jrm_14 I love your response to your H. And thank you for a new addiction - tracking opks... like I need yet another reason to POS at least one will give me a purpose.
DH knows about the basics of temping and OPK. And the legs in the air/pillow (cause that'd be hard to hide is suspect....) He doesn't know about the CM and CP checking. Or the BSC stuff like googling and the SS. The one time I said anything about symptoms was the month I think I had a CP and he was far to rational about it. The man knows I'm crazy, but I have yet to figure out how after almost 15 years he hasn't seen just how crazy.
@galactickates I made the mistake of telling MH that I thought I was KU because of some ridiculous reason, thinking he would get that I was joking... nope. He went and told his friend that he thinks I'm finally KU! I had to yell at him and pointed out that even if it were true he can't be telling anyone till much later anyways.

@jrm_14 I like being able to see my OPK progression, but taping pee sticks to paper squicks me out so I let an app do it for me
@galactickates my DH knows some of it. I openly talk about what I'm doing/what it means etc. but I think most of it goes over his head and he listens mainly to humor me lol.
DH knows most of it. I don't think he knows how obsessive I am about EWCM (although he sure hears about it when I get it!) but asks about my OPK/checks it if it comes up before I get back to read it, and asks about temps around O and temps/spotting the few days before AF is scheduled to arrive. I basically am awful and give him a running commentary of the crazy during the TWW (my boobs hurt, that doesn't smell good, I want to go to bed at 7 pm) and he just rolls with it.
I don't think he'd be on board if I did the cheapies/taped them to paper. Not planning to tell him I intend to keep HPT's ....
If you prop your hips up with a pillow during so that your hips are higher than your shoulders, it helps for deeper penetration. DH is pretty big (although he denies it), so he doesn't really need much help in that regard, but I love it We have one of those back rest type pillows, so it's actually angled and helps so that it's not such a harsh bend while keeping my hips high.
Something like this, just flip it so that you're lying on the back of it with the narrower part under your back and the wider end under your butt.
@jrm_14 - I've wanted to do the taping opks but Im not sure how to explain that to my husband. I doubt he'd care...but I definitely wouldn't want to straight up tell him. Idk why
Which made me think does everyone's H know the stuff you do or do you hide the bsc?
I do hide some of my crazy! That’s also why I haven’t taped any pee sticks. But also because I always dip multiple tests I’d have to do multiple pages! Lol
@dreamscapes_ I love that we talk about CM here regularly but you put a TMI warning about sex I'll have to give this a try next time we HOI
Also, regarding what DH knows, he asked me not to tell him about temps or OPKs or anything this time around. It puts to much stress on him performance wise *eyeroll* apparently. I asked him if my sudden frequent "need" was going to clue him in and he just looked at me. My drive is kind of low so I think that alone would be a dead giveaway.
- pillow under hips - tick - taping sticks - tick - checking FF multiple times every hour during second half of every TWW - tick - testing as early as 7dpo - tick - googling all the crazy phrases like it’s my job - tick - thinking that three days of heavy flow might only be IB - tick - asking for a repeat beta in case the lab got my BW mixed up with someone else’s - tick
And DH knows the things I do, but not necessarily how often and he kind of pretends I don’t do most of it.
Right now I’m 10dpo. But it was a weak ovulation. I even got an eye roll from my acupuncturist today... that’s how much of the crazy I’m feeling.

@dreamscapes_ I get it, just gave me a good laugh. No shame in sex talk with me (well, depending on the company, and we are all here for a mutual cause so....)
Wait, why tape sticks? Does that work if things are past the time window in the line?

Today, at like 7DPO, which would be impossibly early to feel any symptoms of any kind, I am just having to come to terms with the fact that sensitive to smell and irritable...might just be my personality, lol.
Definitely taped and dated sticks and have dipped up to 3 different brands of HPTs. Done lots of reading on the earliest possible implantation. Taken a HPT right after my period “just in case”. Squeeze my boobs and check CP several times a day during the TWW. Have not gone to countdowntopregnancy but have voted on many tests on the Glow app (and maybe posted a few pictures of my own ) My H knows about OPKs and that I start testing way too early but that’s about it.

@suzycupcake when all of the sticks are past that window you can then compare them relative to one another. But still you check them within that window initially. (And if you’re me, take pics)
@dragonette505 Oh nos. Now my BSC list is gonna grow. I already place individual opks on a post it note with the cd and time.

does that make me crazy - If its been a few hours since I have checked into FF, I magically think that the my DPO will have changed from 3 to 10 giving me the green light to POS.
Does it make me crazy that the thought that finally made me go to a local IF/AL support group was, “Maybe if I finally join, I will get KU after the first group & not be able to return.” ::face palm::
My progesterorage and hormonal munchies have kicked in with a vengeance. So naturally I googled “high progesterone multiple follicles” because I can’t let go of the fact that I only had one follicle. You’re on prometrium, dummy. That’s why you’re having these symptoms.
After a long day of training and work dinners/drinks I’ve been so looking forward to this thread!
AFM...and my BSC, my DH didn’t realize everything I was doing until our TW* loss....he said “but we only did it once that week” and I said “well I knew when the timing was right” * end TW...so then I explained everything that I had been doing. It’s not that I was hiding it from me, but more so I was trying to not take the fun out of sex for him, or by adding any pressure to him. It’ll be interesting when we are off the bench again how much of it he remembers

AFM...and my BSC, my DH didn’t realize everything I was doing until our TW* loss....he said “but we only did it once that week” and I said “well I knew when the timing was right” * end TW...so then I explained everything that I had been doing. It’s not that I was hiding it from me, but more so I was trying to not take the fun out of sex for him, or by adding any pressure to him. It’ll be interesting when we are off the bench again how much of it he remembers
