TTC Girl - January 2012

Hah! My son LOVES brushing his teeth! I guess what did it was I always went, "Ooookay... EEEEEEEEE!!!" And he'd flash his front teeth and go, "EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" so I could brush the front, and then I'd go, "Okay... ready? AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" and then he'd go, "AHHHHHH!!!" and open his mouth and I would do all his back ones... wash, rinse, repeat, then I'd hand him the tooth brush (not let him run around with it) and he'd attempt to follow my prompts himself. It's his favorite part of pre-bedtime! Heh.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!

CD 5 (Day 1 of 5 on Clomid)...let the crazy emotions begin! That is one of the things I remember the last time I was on it years ago that I was a basket-case!!! and the O was excruciating!!! Anyone else know of any symptoms I should be reminded of?

Yay Kraisy. Exciting to be starting!! I don't know yet. I will start it this next cycle in February. We can compare notes then!

Heh, oh no. He just works in a call centre/customer services for a company that sorts out other companies/business car rental/business vehicle problems, i.e. if they need to get towed. HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. Cracks me up... but his previous job was working for a what's on music/theatre guide in the UK. He worked there for 12 years and he NEVER had a pay rise. When we got married, priorities changed, and he moved on. Music is his life so he does a website and music reviews and puts on gigs now instead, while working at this current job.

I would go more with temp being reliable (as long as you slept at least 4hrs, and took it at about the same time) over CM. CM and cervial position can be totally unreliable. If you had a temp shift you may have O'd. Do you use FF to track, this helps tremendously. I really do not think you can be comparing CM from month to month. Way to difficult to remember exactly how stretchy or lotion like CM was.
Are you set on 0+12? I don't think timing matters AT ALL and if its raising your T thats worse then having timing that is exactly where you want it. IMO: I would read the threads on 0+ vs. cutoff.

I wish I had temped... I didn't think much of it so never bought the things (BBT thermometer thing, etcetera) to do it. I WISH I HAD, though!

I hope I managed to find ovulation on intuition and checking CM/CP, though, since those cheapie internet OPK's didn't work like I thought they would! The pregnancy ones were always fine for me.

I am just trying to work out my attempt for march.. If i start the diet again today it will be 6 weeks on it I will be due to o around the 23rd of march. I am not having d/h F/R this time because He is not supportive of the swaying thing anymore he did so well this time around but we both got so stressed about it. He doesnt believe in any of it and gets angry now when i mention swaying I have to some how do this diet without him knowing!!! HOW????? He will not be happy to see i am on the diet again . Anyway with my march attempt I am aiming for dtd on o day. I will get d/h ( without him knowing my plans) to releaseday before o and then I will release d/h day of o but then couple of hr later will say OH KNOW i am ovulating!! sneaky arent I!! So will dtd .. But do you think i should dtd twice over o??? I will be using Rephresh, Or should i just leave it at once on o?

Ugh, this is some serious pain. Where in the hell did this come from? It's pretty excruciating. I'm getting a little annoyed now! I can't sit upright. I've taken paracetamol/tylenol... Owwwwww. I must have lifted my son funny or something.

ouch sounds yucky...

Got ya! Too funny he's dealing with all the problems and doesn't drive himself!! Great he still does what he really loves on the side...

Pink~ I would do another attempt. With everything else you have will be doing to lower sperm count another time dtd won't add to much more sperm. I've read and read and read on this bc I was set on a one time attempt, but I no longer think it will weaken my sway to add a few attempts. If I can find one of the threads I will post it for you to read. I think you need to up your chances of a BFP especially after all the hard work and having to do it on the sly!

[pinkin2011]

Yes I agree with you HOPE.! I think I might aim for 2 attempts say one 10 hrs after + opk then wait another 12hrs and attempt again??
