Timing!

[Hobbermittens]

Ugh, so here we are on CD11 with no +opk. Of course the time I PLAN on it, it doesn't happen. So I am trying to decide what to do. DH has been holding out for 4 days, so we have to release him tonight, but I can't decide whether to just DTD with a condom or do it the REAL way. Why can't I have a consistent cycle?!

How soon do you think O could be? If it is only a day or two away, I'd go now!

[Hobbermittens]

Who knows... I have O'ed anywhere from CD13 to CD16. DH has fallen asleep on te couch, so I need to wake him, and he won't want to do anything now. If I force him, he might, but it won't go well. Hmmm.

Been there! Mine won't rouse, either. He sleeps like a dead bear. Maybe try to wake him with some action "down below," that seems to do the trick for a lot of men.

yes, I woke him up witha red bull and then he went back to sleep (can you believe it?!) while I got all the stuff ready (did my BSF, got the egg whites in the syringe, etc). Then I did wake him up in the manner you suggested and we DTD. It went fairly well (those EWs are messy!) but then stupid DH released on his own this morning (horny bastard!), which I am still mad about! We have 24 hrs to build up and then I think we will DTD again tomorrow am? Hopefully I can do that before the kids wake up. ! I was hoping for a 36hr build up, but can't now.

What happened?? Update!!

I would have gone ahead with 24 hours, but I would also remove all Christmas presents from DH's stocking this year!!

We ended up DTD on the 24th, 26th& 27th, and I either O'ed the 27th or 28th. (temp went up 28th AM).

My concern about the attempt on the 27th was pretty stupid--DH didn't wait for me to finish first, and we forgot the eggwhite. For some reason, I acted on impulse and added the EW just afterwards--I think I thought I NEEDED it--and then some of it sluced out, probably taking some swimmers with it! What was I thinking?! So I put in the instead cup and left it in all night, so hopefully that helped. I feel like a total moron.

LOL many people out there will tell you you DO need the egg white and are not happy with me for saying otherwise, so you very well may have done exactly the right thing. The instead cup will def. help keep a lot of swimmers where they need to be. Good luck Hobber!!!

I think you did well even if you didn't feel so! xx

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks ladies. I am worried now because I O'ed in a girl moon sign, which I know a lot of people think is bullsh!t, but I really felt like I needed to O in a boy sign, and I am annoyed that I didn't. I think I may have been just on the cusp.
