@Crystal: ((hugs)) and throat punches to people who like to give TTC advice to those who have been trying for as long as you.

@Crystal: are you kidding? Good for her but its so unbelievably unfair that you aren't pregnant or having a baby yet. You will! But it's absolutely positively okay to feel envious. I hope it's you soon!!! People just don't get it until they have struggled. I myself didn't even get it before trying for several months. It can make one ache inside. Big hug!

@Crystal: I'm so sorry that news this morning made you sad
Her pregnancy hasn't affected me as much as some others (maybe because of the timing for me personally, or maybe because I don't physically see her as often as my other pregnant friends) but I totally understand how it could be upsetting to you. And that's ok.
We all have the right to feel our feelings, no matter what they are

@Crystal: so sorry, friend. That sucks. And such well meaning advice is equally as painful as intentional jabs. Try and focus on your vacation. And have fun!!

@Crystal: I personally felt the same a few weeks ago when my sil had her baby, we started trying in the same month and when I heard the baby was born I had a bit of a breakdown emotionally. Hugs!

@MrsStar: ugh, I totally get it.
It's crazy that other peoples pregnancies seem to fly by when the ttc process seems so slow.

So, tomorrow is Friday the 13th and a full moon. Last time that will happen for decades. Who's ovulating tomorrow? Somebody, conceive a werewolf baby!
(I'm probably going to just miss it; ovulating Saturday or Sunday. Also for some reason DH is totally opposed to the idea of conceiving a witch-werewolf-warlock child. No idea why.)

@PawPrints: I will probably O tomorrow (if not today). If we get KU, have a boy, and if we were Jewish, we could someday have a Werewolf Barmitzvah!!

@PawPrints: Maybe that is what I need to get a BFP!
@Crystal: Hug! Here is a great place to let those feelings out- we get it!
CD12 here and DH's BD. Likely O-3 if I O on schedule. I bought the tube of conceive plus and have extra preseed applicators. I know this is way TMI, but has anyone used the tube of conceive plus and figured out a good way to insert it? Thanks! My red face is hiding now.

@AmeliaBedilia: my husband squirts a little out on his finger first, puts in on me, then after a bit of foreplay, puts the tube/applicator in there and I don't even feel it. If we just try to put it in there without the previous step, it's kind of sharp and uncomfortable. Does hat answer your question?

@AmeliaBedilia: oh wait. The tube of conceive plus, not the little individual tubes?? Sorry, I think I read that wrong.

Day 10 here and I usually O on day 16 or 17 so we're just doing our every other day BD this week.. I really do wish I was an earlier ovulater!

@mrs. tictactoe: Oh my god!!!!! AHHH what a wonderful amazing thing to see. Congratulations! I'm dipping you in super sonic impenetrable sticky baby dust! Have the happiest and healthiest 9 months!! And tell us what may have worked this month!
blogger / pomegranate / 3201 posts
Thanks everyone!!
This month I started summer break right at O, we BD on CD 11, 12, 13, and 14 (guessing I O'd on CD 14), and we used conceive plus every time. I have also weaned off caffeine this week, starting with half caff and working my way to decaf. @MrsMccarthy: ^

@Crystal: I'm sorry about the lame TTC advice. A few months ago I made the mistake of telling BIL's gf about our TTC troubles and her stellar advice was "you have to not want it. If you don't want to get pregnant, then you'll get KU." Head. Desk.
Well, I'm in the TWW. Seems my HSG last month kicked my ovaries into high gear. 2nd month in a row I've O'd before CD20!

@mrs. tictactoe: thanks for sharing! I am so excited for you guys and your son! How wonderful! Oh and I am ordering some conceive plus now!

Just took a digital and it was negative. Hopefully it's just too early. The FRER looks clearly positive now.
My husband comes home tonight. Should I tell him right away or wait until Sunday? It's hard for me to keep a secret, but it would be fun to surprise him on Father's Day.
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@mrs. tictactoe: Tell him today. Take digital tomorrow, it should be positive by then.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
@mrs. tictactoe: how many DPO are you? With DD, I got + FRER at 10 DPO and I'd not get a + digital until 15 DPO.
ETA: but my husband didn't "believe" it until he saw the digital.

@mrs. tictactoe: I'm just a stalker on this board, but CONGRATS!!!
blogger / pomegranate / 3201 posts
@septca: I think 10dpo. So that's encouraging! Should I not use my other digi tomorrow? Save it for a few days?
