Pink swayers' December thread

[maybeoneday]

So basically DH did release cd 6 to 13,...released and DTD 13, release and DTD 14 and then DTD 15???
How long after release did you DTD?
Did you o on cd 15? I gather since it was the second day of pos OPK right? Did you get a temp dip?

It sounds like my attempt last month...compressed fr from cd 8 to 10, release and DTD, release and dtd, then dtd on o day...I think, my temp dipped that day. BFN but I think it was the fact that it was shallow and I used rephresh a bit and one day actually used rephresh douche before so I made it very hard to succeed...???? Or, I am not that fertile and this will take a lot longer even on o day!

How long have you tried?
I also felt something at cd 8 or so and even up until AF...I had very noticeable PMS. I hope it is BFP for you!
Do you temp as well?

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

I didn't use Rephresh as didn't really like it and ran out so didn't buy any more!

I don't temp as find it a bit stressful and never really got on with it so I just rely on OPKs. I only usually get one day of +OPK, then ovulate the next day, so in getting 2 days, I am not sure when I ovulated but it may have been day 15 (which only makes me 8DPO today).

We DTD a couple of hours after the releases to give DH time to recharge (his words...)

We are on month 3 of TTC and if not pregnant this month will take a break till after Christmas, then do a hardcore 6 weeks on the diet and attempt again!

Good luck and let us know what you decide. xx

Thanks maybe!
8 dpo!
2 more days to test right?
I REALLY HOPE YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I was right with how many times you bd....?????
DH is sick of me talking about it...lol!

You girls will love this...and yes, he is quite aware of my desires!
Here is DH's sway:
He says he will lock me in our room and just provide rice and water and then when it is time he will boil his "ahem", smoke several packs of cigarettes, drink a bottle of scotch,,,,then, you will love this, hammer his "goodies" and then provide a deposit. hahahhaha,...clearly he is fed up! lmao!
ENJOY his humour!
If I don't get pregnant, I might be locked in my room anyway...lol!

So, plan is....no plan!
CLEARLY!
Christmas is coming, we are tired and we want to relax...!
So, we have to make sure it counts.
He will not frequent release but maybe release and then hours later we can dtd???? Last month releasing then ttc did not get us pregnant. I am getting older and we need to complete our family!

So, suggestions...bc DH's plan is horrible......lol!

Wow! After being gone for 2 days, I've got a lot to catch up on! Hoping someone got a BFP this weekend...???

Well, we've been doing a great job keeping up w/the BD...so much so that on Sat we ended up doing it 2x. Things got a bit hot and I sort of got into it too much. I ended up w/a big O but at least it was before DH had his. I guess that makes it better (?)...oh, well. My temp went up a bit today but not the spike I was hoping for so I may O today or tomorrow (???) or I may end up not even Oing this cycle at all. If I don't get a BFP this time, it wasn't for a lack of trying, lol!
We'll probably give it a go tonight as well although maybe we shouldn't since I've been enjoying it too much lately...

[auroara78]

LOL, Jen @ "enjoying it too much lately"

On Sat afternoon, as DS2 napped and DS1 was totally engrossed in a movie, my husband lured me to the bedroom under false pretenses for some sex. So we had sex. It was OK, wasn't in the mood (was two days from AF, not at feeling anything and still upset about BFN again).

So we finish, we get up, I make him coffee, etc etc I'm lazying around on the couch trying to read a book while DS1 still watching a movie on the computer and I tell DH that I'm really "tired" today, and he says "maybe its because your egg is being fertilized" I tell him, "Ummm, I'm not ovulating, but thanks for the thought." LOL

Then yesterday, I tell him that I'm frustrated over the BFNs (I confess and tell him about the 3 negative pregnancy tests), and he says "but you're ovulating? I saw the test lying around, and I knew you'd need the big guns ready."

Hmmm? A negative pregnancy test makes an ovulation test? LOL, seriously, sometimes men crack me up. I guess he didn't read the box that says for a pos ovulation test it needs two lines, not one line???

LOL, at least he tried. I guess he thought he was being brave by having sex with me (and starting it) when he thought I was ovulating!!! Haha, how romantic!!

I think I've decided that I'm going to use Rephresh I'll do more than one attempt, since my one attempt + full applicator of Rephresh = BFN, though our attempt had been on a Sunday and the full applicator of Rephresh had gone in late Friday night....still trying decide on a sway plan for our Christmas attempt, since I should be O'ing on Christmas Day!

[auroara78]

So far my thoughts for my sway in Dec. include:

peppermint tea, lower calories, working out, IF I use rephresh (2-3 attempts before O), if no represh, ONE attempt, lots of negative ions, will be new moon, in a girl sign (I figure the moon stuff can't hurt since it's all working out for me in favor of a 'girl')

and if I do concieve, how cool will it be that the baby would be created on Christmas Day! And Sept. is such a beautiful month to have a birthday in! (I'm trying to get my gears switched to thinking more 'positively' now)

[rainbowflower]

auroara - I like the thought of that! I'm expecting to OV some time between Christmas and New Year and September is my IDEAL month to have a baby too so it would be just perfect.... PMA!

[auroara78]

rainbowflower,

so glad you're joining us for a december attempt!! Hopefully we'll get some beautiful BFPs in January!

TOO FUNNY!!! Your DH is really sweet!

I'm hoping the RepHresh works for you this time. O'ing on Christmas sounds very auspicious!!! I think your plan sounds great! I really wish I was working out for this sway but I know it would be a real struggle to keep it up enough to sway pink. GOOD FOR YOU!!!

[Out of the Blue]

Rainbow, I'm really excited for your 1st attempt! BTW, belated Happy B-Day to your son. The 1st B-Day is really a big one, especially when it's your 1st LO turning 1 year. Such a wonderful and bittersweet thing.

[Mochagirl]

I'm glad I have so much wonderful company in my December sway. I'm hoping for pink September bundles for all of us!
