Oh, yes. I came close. So... you ladies know the planning and calculating we do when ttc. Cant help it. I tried not to try. So one night me and my hubby were in the mood and had sex. 3 days later, earlier than expected I got a positive OPK. I had had excellent EWCM all week, and just knew I was super fertile. I told my husband, hey it's high fertility day, and I have been so "wet" that if we had sex tonight I believe we would get pregnant. So I was excited all day. Tonight's the night! What does he do? FALLS ASLEEP. You kidding me?! So I fondle him, he wakes up, fondled me back for like 3 seconds, rolls over and is back out of it. I was laying there... so frustrated and angry. Around 10pm I started getting ovulation cramps. I knew I was in the middle of ovulating, and I could hear the clock ticking on the 12 hours until my egg died. Ugh! I couldn't sleep all night!

The next day I was in a terrible mood all day. It may have also been the hormones of just having ovulated. My husband came in from work and I was giving him the eye. I was like, "I cant believe you fell asleep on me." He said, "oh I'm sorry, you should have woke me up." I told him I did and he didnt remember. So I forgave him. Mostly. Guess we'll try again in 28 days. Such a long time. I chalked it up to another failed month. However... that little session we had 3 days before ovulation, that was just for fun, and no stress attatched... well, it had some stubborn swimmers involved!!! At only 9dpo I got a positive test!!! So for the sake of my now THREE children, I will not murder my husband. I need his income.

In all seriousness... I know there were other ladies in this position, as I ranted on their comments with them. Dont give up hope! If you miss your peak fertitily night due to whatever circumstances, theres still a chance!!!
