A new outlook on ttc...

Mod-LilSunshine · #1 December 1st, 2009, 08:19 PM

Well...as today officially begins cycle # 6 for us...

I've decided to not spend money on OPKs this month (I usually O between cd 14 and 16...so I'll make sure to bd around then) and use that money instead get my hair highlighted and a manicure!

So, even if I don't get my bfp...I'll look good for the holidays!

YAY for you deciding to spend some time and money on YOU!!

i think that sounds really awesome! good for you, youll look and feel great, which will prob. make you more likely to conceive anyways if your relaxed about it!

What a great plan !! I've actually thought about doing the same (skipping the opk's - that $$ adds up after awhile! ) Being on this 3rd round of Clomid I can pretty much count on O happening same time as you, CD14-16. Although I hate seeing others move on to a new cycle I am sort of happy to have you as a cycle buddy again

PS- You watching the big Bucky vs Duke game tonight ? Wish I were there to go !

That does sound like a good plan. I am using OPKs this cycle b/c it's my 1st one PP and I have no idea when I'll O, but I didn't have much luck with them when TTC my son. When we did conceive, it was without using them. Good luck, and have fun spoiling yourself!

I'm glad we're cycle buddies again too! Maybe we'll get bfps for Christmas.

We've got the game recording!

Great idea! Specially since you know your o date is pretty consistent! Good for you! You'll look and feel beautiful!

That's a great idea! Maybe I'll do the same next cycle...I am already using a monitor and have enough test sticks for 2 more cycles after this one, so I guess I don't really neeeeeed OPKs...hmmm...
