We did NOT do a good job trying this cycle. We were busy a lot, and there was a lot of stress. The closest to O that we BD'd was around lunchtime, 1-2 days before O. Or what I assume O to be, I didn't take my temp one morning 'cause I was drinking the evening prior. Not too optimistic. I know I'm not "out," but I also know we should have BD'd at least once more. Just didn't have the time.
And in the past week I think I've taken my vitamins/given DH his maybe once. I feel all out of sorts. And of course DH won't take his willingly, no help there. The fact he takes them at all is a miracle.
I'm grumpy. I need coffee. I'll be back once the caffeine has a chance to take effect

VERY true!!! At least you can usually find a fix for grumpy. Dopey is for life.

I'm sorry you had a stressful week. I hope we can still be DDC buddies! I'm not too optimistic either as I got 3 days of positives and only DTD the first two nights. Fingers Crossed for us both!

Honestly Erin maybe this care-free-ness is what you need to help your body relax and get a BFP. You know what they say  I always hate to hear it but hopefully this is what you need and it only takes once!!

I agree with Katie. I hope once is all what it takes for you to get your BFP.
