Cycle Day: 12
TTC Cycle: 12 ( waahhhhh!)
Ovulation Date: 3/23 or 3/24? Not really sure, been having a lot of ewcm so it might be a little earlier.
POAS Date: 4/5
Baby #:1
What's up this month: Ugh we have rats in our attic over our bedroom...and we're trying to figure out how to get rid of them! As for ttc, the Doctor suggested we try for an additional 6 cycles after the 12th cycle, so that is what we are doing. The theory is that couples with unexplained infertility have between a 30% and 60% chance of conceiving during an additional 12 months of trying on their own. Since I'm only 27 our chances are apparently good...The doctor said it's probably a 37% - 42% chance of us getting pregnant on our own between 12 months and 24 months.
For Fun: I really like dahlias. They are my favorite. I'm not super into baseball. -
Now I'm nervous about this trigger shot. I'll have to wait until my husband gets home at midnight to do it but ughhh I hate needles. And then I have to start daily Lovenox shots three days after ovulation

We got a nice group goin' this month, ladies!
-
@mrskansas: yay! that's exciting! sorry it requires shots, but hopefully DH can help.
-
@jhd: I'm ridiculously excited about the fact that it worked.
Luckily my husband was a medic years ago, so he is a pro, but it still freaks me out! -
@mrskansas: yay for a nice follie and a thick lining
!
-
@mrskansas: oh well then you will be in good hands.
i'm happy to see some good news. hoping all of this will be just what you need for a sticky baby. 
-
@azjax: I just saw your update on the due date board... I'm so happy for you!
-
@jhd: I hope so!!
-
@mrskansas: AAAAAAHHHH!!!!
-
@mrskansas: awesome so excited for you good luck with everything
-
@mrskansas: really exited for you!
-
@mrskansas: so excited to see your update!!
I'm cheerleading too. I don't know when I'll officially start bleeding, and will probably not try this coming cycle to let myself get back to..normal? Who knows. But I'm eagerly following along

@mrskansas @azjax: Just did some lurking on the Oct DD board to see what you were talking about... bad idea... now I'm depressed/envious/shaking my fists at the sky WHY GOD WHY?
These are also CD2 vibes and I start Clomid tomorrow so I'll just be getting sadder/crazier as the week goes on.
-
So happy to see these lines
-
@mrskansas: Yayyy! Get it ON girl!
-
@mrskansas:

The Ovidrel shot was nothing. I thought my husband was kidding when he said it was done, but nope, just that easy.
We were able to BD but I haven't noticed much EWCM so hopefully it shows up and we can have another shot tomorrow. -
@mrskansas: So glad it was so easy for you, I never had much of a problem just a bit of stinging. I hope the lovenox goes well.
-
@snarkybiochemist: Yeah I didn't even have the stinging so I kept thinking maybe he did it wrong, lol.
But I am definitely nervous about the Lovenox -
@mrskansas: Lovenox can cause bruising I think, I have no personal experience with it though
-
@snarkybiochemist: Yeah I've heard about the bruising. It just sucks because I barely tested positive for the clotting disorder and my impression from the RE was that it's just a precaution, not a necessity
-
@mrskansas: I think a lot of what we do during pregnancy is a precaution rather then an out and out necessity
-
@mrskansas: Which clotting disorder?
-
@knittylady: Sorry for the huge picture but this is from my lab report. I'm barely over the threshold at 18.
-
Serious TMI question... does anyone else experience a tighter vagina (I didn't want to use that word but whatever) during ovulation? I was checking for EWCM and can barely get a finger in there.
-
@mrskansas: Hmm, I guess I never noticed if it's "tighter." I will try not to start digging around in there either....
-
@madisonbee: It feels swollen. I do clearly remembering experiencing it when I conceived my daughter so maybe it's a good sign, I just haven't noticed it since then.
ETA: I Googled and apparently this is normal. It's one of the "top 10 signs of ovulation" apparently. So now you all know
-
Does anyone else lay a specific way or position after BD?
I've been laying on my stomach more lately (for about 5 min) after BD (you can imagine DH's fav position---TMI!!) and wondered if that has any myth to conceiving better/worse the way some women lay with their butts up on pillows.
Plus, I also realized I go to the bathroom ASAP after, so not sure if that plays any role to "losing" the good swimmers.
-
@mrskansas: the more you know! should I start asking DH if it's tighter? LMAO. Sorry...
-
@madisonbee: You should be able to tell! He definitely will.
As far as laying down after BD, I don't think it really matters. When I conceived my daughter, we only had sex once and it was in the middle of the night so I just went to sleep without getting up. With my other conceptions, it has varied. I've gotten pregnant from a quickie where I had to pee immediately after and then run out the door back to work. So you should just do whatever is best for you.
-
Can I sign up to be a cheerleader too? My ovulation is irregular so I don't know yet if I'm an April or May member. Fingers crossed for those on the list!
-
@madisonbee: I do the dang legs up the wall thing. I've heard some people use soft cups to keep it in afterwards but I stole one from the work bathroom, unwrapped it and took one look and was like "Hell no" cuz it looks a little big to shove up there!
-
@Raspberry: Sure thing! GL for O this month!

-
@dominobee: Wait...shoving cups up the hooha? I haven't tried the legs up. I might just for kicks to see what DH says.
-
@madisonbee: I typically stay in bed a few minutes at least, but I always get up to pee because I'm paranoid about getting a UTI.
@mrskansas: did not know about the tightness either! our bodies are so crazy.
-
@madisonbee: They're for your period but the circumference seems quite robust. https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Feminine-Hygiene-12-hour-Period-Protection-Soft-Cup-Disposable/446548836?goog_pla=1&gpid=177431040541&keyword=&goog_pla=1&pos=1o1&ad_type=pla&gclid=CKWCwcq06NICFReHswodxmILLw
