Because I forgot to glue the instructions to his hand as a reminder not to keep his hands to himself. Yesterday morning, he forgot that he supposed to be abstaining and took care of business a day early. I should have known better than to try to get him to hold out over a weekend. So the clock starts over. As long as his results are available by the time I have my HSG it will be fine.
@wallflwr926, I was on my husband like a cheap suit about this when we went through it two years ago. It's ridiculous that they need to have their hands held. (Pun intended.)
What are you doing to get knocked up? Planning on buying two vials from a new donor soon. Hoping that a donor change along with at home insem might be the lucky ticket to a BFP
R/R/CS: my temp was way up this morning and I have no idea why, but I'm only CD 4 so we'll see what the rest of the week brings.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? Weeding for sure! I need to do it in the front yard pretty badly. Ugh.

Cycle/Month: 3/4 CD: 16
What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, Sexy time
RRCS: So, my almost positive the other day made me decide to use an OPK last night, too, even though I figured it wouldn't be positive. Well, it was!! And there goes my "my cycles are like clockwork" theory. I certainly wasn't expecting to O so early and of course, I have no idea if I'm really going to O at all yet but I've never turned an OPK so early. Sex timing is fine if I do O, but still. It'd be nice to be out of here in half the time as normal.
GTKY: Idk. Hm. I don't like things that require me to be doing yardwork all day long. Basically, I hate doing all the yard stuff all at once but individually, the chores are just kinda 'meh'.

I was like, Seriously, you couldn't handle this one task. I, then proceeded to give him the biggest guilt trip of his life. Honestly, I'm not even that mad because my HSG is still a few weeks away; but I just want to make sure we have both tests completed in a timely manner so we can move forward with the information.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Nothing yet, but planning pretty much the usual rundown of acronyms.
R/R/CS: Nothing TTC-related to report. As a more general rant, I spent a couple of hours outside yesterday sweeping the porch (to get rid of the gross green film of pollen) and weeding, and I am paying for it in allergy symptoms today.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? Weeding/tidying the flower beds. They look so pretty afterward, but crouching for hours kills my back and knees. I am pretty sure that DH was a little sloppy with the grass seed last year because this spring there has been a veritable lawn growing in to the hydrangea beds and it is taking me FOREVER to pull up.

Hugs for all the feels yesterday.

What are you doing to get knocked up? sex as long as I have ewcm
R/R/CS: this hands-off cycle has been nice. I think our timing will still be good, based on what I already know of my cycle and what I've tracked just from observation.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? Shoveling snow!!! Ugh!

Ugh that sucks. Sometimes I wonder if that's why I'm not getting pregnant. DH is very...needy...and I'm not home very much.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Apparently nothing this cycle. If we don't get some sex in tonight then I will be out.
R/R/CS: I got nothing right now.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? Pulling weeds. 2 years ago we had so many weeds in our backyard. We would spend hours out there pulling weeds.

Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD: 6
GKU: BBT, PNV, OPK
R/R/CS: I've been on a temping break for a few months, but now that my period is over I guess I have to start again. I am the laziest person ever, and I hate when the temp alarm wakes me up!! Going to try OPKs again this month too.
GTKY: All the things. I don't do any of the outside chores.
What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, PVN, sexy time
R/R/CS: It's Monday so everything is blah.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? I live in a condo, so we don't have to do much outsides, but we have to oil our teak furniture every year and I hate it! It is so messy!

What are you doing to get knocked up?: PNVs, Last dose of 2.5 mg Letrozole tonight, OPKs, temping (though neither are really necessary with the bw and u/s), EOD sex during FW, lots of wishing/hoping
R/R/CS: nope
GTYK: I have rabbits and I scoop their poop and use it as rose food. The roses are lovely and rose food is so dang expensive but it sure is a nasty chore!

I can't stop him from doing it, but he's cut back significantly. Yesterday was just him being a dummy.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, that's all! Waiting for EWCM.
R/R/CS: Maybe I will use OPKs next month, or chart, or... I'm lazy!
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? I actually really like working outside, this weekend I just washed all of our windows and screens. I'd say I dislike taking the garbage to the curb on the rare occasion that I do it instead of H.

Update- At my appointment they saw a cyst on one of my ovaries but said it should resolve itself as it was just fluid filled and not solid. Although she made me question her medical abilities when I told her about a bump on my cervix and she started examining my clitoris. I wanted to be like "um...you know that's not where the cervix is right?" Apparently she had just misheard me, maybe assumed I meant my clitoris because most people don't check their cervix. The bump turned out to be just a nabothian cyst, so I didn't have to have another biopsy done.
What are you doing to get knocked up? temping right now, water
R/R/CS: I also have a saline sono on Wednesday and I'm nervous too peanutmuse. Seems like there has been an influx of these lately. MH's "sperm report" was great. I was genuinely really happy of course when he told me, but couldn't hold back tears as it confirms its my body that's fahked up.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? I guess picking up dog poop. I'd say I'm pretty lucky. My husband does a lot of the outdoor "chores" type stuff.
housecarder, I think I would've been really weirded out if the person started touching my clitoris!!!! I'm glad the cyst on your cervix is not worrisome though.

OMG - this made me chuckle at the thought of the dr. rooting around on your clitoris.
Glad you don't have to get the biopsy done though!
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? We don't have a yard so it's hard to say but washing the outside of the windows *is* technically an outside chore so I'll go with that
I decided to do this in the middle of winter. It was still cold, but sunny and I went outside to spray them. The cleaning solution froze on the windows and was all streaky and it was a fail. Funny, but I won't do that in the winter again.
Oh no! Reminds me of the time I accidentally bought the regular windshield wiper fluid instead or the below freezing one. It froze the first time I used it all over my windshield and I couldn't see anything so I had to drive with my head sticking out the window in 15 degree weather. Oh winter. So glad we're over with that bitch!
What are you doing to get knocked up? bbt, sex, pnv
R/R/CS: I keep waiting for crosshairs. My temp has been up for three days (though the first two were just slightly above average. Fingers are crossed for tomorrow.) Timing would be good if I O'd on CD17 or 18.
GTYK: What is your least favorite outdoor chore? All of them. Dh and I have a deal--I do inside, he does outside. I used to garden, but bees. Nope.
