How could it *not* work?

BMS'ed last night in anticipation of today's O! DH has normal hours this week-- he is studying for the Series 63 exam, so the hours are late, but at least he can study at home. Last week's BMSing took place at close to midnight and featured two exhausted participants, so this week has been a marked improvement ; ) So by the time this process is over, we will have BMS'ed Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, and possibly Wed morning as well. (Sidenote: DH thinks me laying in bed with my legs up is hysterical, but I really do think it helps!)

I know there is a big debate over BMSing every day or every other day. I always thought I would be of the "every other day" school of thought, but now that the real opportunity is upon me, I want to bombard that poor little egg, and so now I belong to the "every day" school of thought.

I have read some posts in the past were the women bemoaned, "How could this *not*work??" Now, I can't help but agree. With the help of my RE, I have pinpointed the exact moment of ovulation, and I am attacking the poor egg with sperm for several days straight. How could I get a BFN from this??

I feel hope creaping up, and it takes all of my willpower to quash the poor thing where it stands. I know in my head that the odds are stacked against me-- the likelihood of pregnancy each cycle is only 20%. I don't want to make the moment when I get AF any more crushing than it already will be...

  1. LOL I totally hear you on going from the 'every other day' to the 'every day' school - it is so hard not to when you KNOW when it's going to happen!! I'm really crossing everything that you're lucky on your first O!
