Pink swayers' December thread

[HopeandDreamG]

Mocha~ You are doing so well being away and keeping to your sway!!! Your awesome- what dedication.
KraisyDaisy~ Good for you getting the leapster tablet. My dad went to the toy store and they were like -yeah, no people came at 2am lining up for them!! Not happening here! Gonna cave soon enough and just buy the ipad. Leappad is great though because I would worry about it less- especially out somewhere with the kids. Looks like you may get your BFP.
Out of the Blue~ I'll be stalking you on Christmas.
Auroara~ I guess you'll be stalking DH! haha
Lemon~ How are you woman- Where are you in the 2ww?

I got back from doc regarding my crohns flare and hopefully will be off meds (steriods) long enough to ttc for January cycle. Some of you know I also got clomid and Ovidrel injection trying to figure out if sway will change based on this. Just posted a thread-not sure if I need OPK's with injection. Will I know exactly when O is now? Does anyone know?

Sorry, hope - I can't answer your questions. I'm glad you'll be able to TTC in January, though.

I managed to avoid the ham at super by eating at the kids' table where no one could see what I was eating. I cobbled a dinner together from the sides: bread and butter, mashed sweet potatoes, salad. I'm still hungry, but at least I didn't have to eat meat tonight.

I got my +OPK with FMU this morning!!! Wooooohoooo! I think my surge started overnight and hopefully I'll O before today is done. I am so DONE with BD - last night I had to bed dh for it, and he sighed and acted like it was something distasteful. Not exactly a fun experience. Anyway, I think we're all done with our attempts - hopefully we've done enough to catch that egg!

[HopeandDreamG]

Hooray mocha. I'm seriously impressed with all you've had to do this attempt. Now you can sit back and relax!!! Happy for you.
Merry Christmas !! Working a bit this morning. Catch up later with everyone

last night DH and I were cozing up on the couch watching xfiles DVDs and he's talking about how he has to go to bed early...I'm like OK, I'm going to "tuck you in" ...I was joking about having money back guarantee on making sure he fell asleep, he likes when I draw with my fingers on his back, it relaxes him to sleep...so we were going to DTD, and if having sex dind't knock him out to sleep, I'd doodle on his back....

WELL, he was going to go to bed at 11 pm, but he got too wrapped up in an esposide of xfiles and wanted to see the next one, and I remnded him about time, he said he'd be fine, but when it was over, he said he was too tired and he didn't want to go to work today on such a busy day with no sleep! (he works retail, fyi)

Bottom line: we didn't get our attempt in at all yesterday, and now that I've realized what a killer shift he has today at his job, I doubt he'll even be up for it tonight. I guess I'll try him tonight, (He said he'd make it up to me tonight), but he always gives me such empty promises when it comes to sex and does not deliver!

So, I am sure when I pee on the OPK, it's gonna be +. I just have too many symptoms of impending O. My last hope ditch is to tackle him tomorrow morning before the kids get awake, and that's what I did last month on O day and it ended up a BFN....

Soooooooo does anyone think its possible to get pregannt from an attempt 7 days from O and then 3.5 days from O?

Merry Christmas / Christmas Eve to all!

[auroara78]

Mocha, so excited about all your attempts...how many did you get in total? Glad you got a + OPK finally!!! What a relief, eh?

[Mochagirl]

auroara - sorry about the trouble getting your attempts in. Last night dh was sooooo not into it - he got into bed, rolled over and started going to sleep. I just hate having to beg for something I honestly don't want anyway.

Anyway, you can look at the chart in my siggy to see my attempts. I think it's BD on 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 DBO, with 6 days of release before that. As I said, I THINK I'll O today, but if I haven't O'd by bedtime I might have to beg DH for another BD session. Reaaaaallly hoping that doesn't happen.

[auroara78]

Yeah, I don't want to be begging tonight, either...ugh, I begged last night and he still woouldn't do it, it seemed to make him more firm in his "no"...

well i took an opk earlier expecitng it to be full on pos since it's been pos on CD12 for the last 4 cycles and its dead negative, I mean, like not even a faint second line, so I don't know what to think...I'm tired from tossing and turning all night and being mad at DH for not giving me an attempt, and now when I was so sure I had all the signs of impending O, achiness near ovary, feeling a certain way, etc etc, the opk says no. I'm not sure if I screwed up the OPK by holding it too much and moving it around...usually I just lie them down and walk away...

That was my last OPK too the pack so I'll have to deal with Christmas Eve traffic if I want to more opks to test later today. Then I also worry I didn't hold my urine enough...I forgot when I had peed last before hand, so, definitely gonna head to the store I think and get more...when DH comes home...another joy this week has sprung on me: my car won't start! So now not only am I begging for sex, I'll be begging for a ride to work until we can get my car towed and in the shop! (I don't drive his car, I don't handle his car well, so that's why I'll be begging for a ride....plus....I wouldn't want to leave him carless with two kids all week next week)....

[Mochagirl]

Grrrr....I STILL haven't O'd! My OPKs seem to be getting lighter, though it may just be diluted pee from the gallons of tea, Crystal Light and Diet Pepsi I'm drinking. I still think it could come at any moment now, but I was really hoping not to have to dtd tonight. Now I have to decide whether or not we should have another attempt. It's been almost 24 hours since our last attempt, so if O doesn't come until tomorrow, our cut-off will be a little too long for my comfort since I really want to get pregnant. I guess I should just suck it up and beg dh for more sex. Sigh. I'll be really happy to have some penis-free time for a while after this.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[auroara78]

LOL @ penis free time! haha
