Oct.'13 Siggy Challenge: Cheers to Easter!

Re: Ladies Who Are Pregnant/Mothers

  • Oddly enough-we did two things differently on the month we got pregnant.  It was on the third month.

    We used PreSeed (got it at CVS) and I took Robitussin. Not sure if it just happened by chance or these things helped.

    If you try the PreSeed, I would recommend using half the amount suggested on the directions (if you try, you'll see what I mean).

    HTH!

  • I quit temping. : )  After 8 months I needed a break.

  • I didn't knee him in the balls when he tried to get frisky. Indifferent

    lol!

    I stopped doing the ovulation kits and just let nature take it course.  It was the month that ended up working for us.

  • Lol Quilty. Maybe that is where I have been screwing up!

    Thanks guys! I know it probably seems like a silly question and I know it will happen for us someday. I just hate feeling like I get too worked up about it, but my type A personality will not let me relax!

    Here's to a lot of wine and a lot of sex and hoping that does the trick Big Smile

  • All I was doing was charting temps and CM. The month we got pregnant, my chart said I had ovulated the day or 2 before when I actually got pregnant. I know exactly what day it was because DH had been in China for 3 weeks. Because of my chart, we thought that month was out and as soon as he walked through the door, we had amazing sexy time! Turns out, my chart was wrong or my egg decided to stick around for a bit because I did get pregnant. I don't know if it was the no pressure sexy time or what. Oh, and my sister charted and also got pregnant with crazy sexy time the day after her chart said she ovulated. Must be a family thing. :) Good luck though!

  • after a few months of just letting nature take it's course and nothing happening, we had sex every other day for 10 days during the middle of my cycle. i was having long, irregular cycles and wasn't temping so didn't exactly know when i was ovulating, but i did pay attention to CM.

  • We only had sex twice during the month of october. The day before ovulation was supposed to begin and the day after.

     Oh...and I was wasted at least one of those days. LOL - it was after my surprise party.

  • The only thing I did differently was that I quit tempting.

    Though I had only been tempting for 2 months, the 3rd month I just didn't feel like it. Luckily my periods were on track after BCP and BAM, I was pregnant.

  • Wait, what??? Marcy's pregnant?!?! OMG!
  • The one that worked was the one that we didn't plan. Spontaneity = babies :o)
  • Just for the record, on the not getting pregnant theory...  Sometime around about months 4-6 were about the hardest for me.... I think because we hadn't gotten pregnant right away but we weren't officially having trouble yet...  We are still not officially having trouble as that's at a year but it's long enough that we are close enough to being there that I don't worry about it as much (that's not saying I still don't stress and worry and hope (slightly) and everything else).

     There's still lots of hope for you yet.  I hope that you get pregnant very soon....

    She decided that posting it on the FB group would be best. And then we all had to wait until FB loaded to see what exactly she was talking about. Thanks Marcy. :P

    So...Nate was unintentional. We had a lot of sex that week, though. I remember because I could never figure out which day I got pregnant.

  • Go here - I think you'll need to request to join the group, but it's a separate place where we can chat about things we don't want on the board right away. :)

    ash, you forgot me! :( lol. and britni (bb) she's due in december, alyssa (march) and now jovonn, too! :)

  • LOL - I was supposed to start within a day or 2 of our wedding - I was freaking out a few days before and wanted to try to jump start it...  How horrible to have to mess with your period in a wedding dress or on your honeymoon, right?!  Didn't have to worry with it after all....by the end of the week of our honeymoon I was kinda wondering if I really was pregnant or if the stress made me skip it - so we bought a test on that Friday.  We took pictures in the parking lot of the grocery in Tahoe because it started snowing that day.  We didn't want to wait very long anyway so it worked out perfectly for us....   Maybe sometime next year start trying for #2....   Have to budget for this one - I don't know if we will be able to get the free babysitting from my mom for 2 kiddos at once....Luke is a handful all on his own!  A cute handful - but keeps you on your toes!!
