I will always remember the day because they showed a live feed of our embryos. It was magical. Well as magical as it can be with your bladder about to burst and the speculum inside, lol.
DD1 was conceived on an exam table with H sitting in a chair by my side. It was a Saturday and a brand new, young OB who was on call gets to call her one of his first IUI babies.
We were on our second medicated cycle and giving it our all. So after 5 days in a row I have no idea which was it. It was the week after I took my PE exam because I was so stressed it would mess up my timing since I couldn't make it to the RE that day. Luckily my body is slow at growing follicles and our timing worked out!
I had no idea on the timing at the time, but according to our due date, this baby was conceived on Halloween. In which case we had a VERY drunk night and I was still partially in my costume.
We went on vacation to Niagara Falls 2 weeks later and got stuck in a snowstorm coming back in Buffalo. Some of our family joked we'd come back with a snowstorm baby, which we kind of did, but we just didn't know it had already happened.
ETA: I tested positive the weekend we were back, thinking I was going to start another round of Provera and first attempt of Clomid. Then we were pleasantly surprised I didn't need to do either one! I took a couple more tests to be sure.

it WAS magical! both DH and I teared up when we saw the embryo on the screen!
Yes, but we weren't that umm...active so I pinpointed it exactly to my brother's wedding. I (almost) want to tell him but he's a boy so would be grossed out. Technically he could figure it out if so inclined.
We were TTC, so I don't know which time it actually happened. I feel like it was the time we were both so tired, but I had gotten a +OPK that morning, so we decided to try one more time that cycle.
I had unfortunately put a lot of pressure on myself that cycle since it was the last chance to be pregnant on my due date for our m/mc. We were also about to start some additional testing the next cycle. Glad it worked x2!

I remember for our second (mm/c for both 1st and 2nd) and C.
2nd was conceived on the EDD for our first. We went to church, I shared my blog with DH for the first time, we had sex, and had a nice hike around the apple orchards.
C was conceived the weekend we renovated our downstairs bathroom. It was also the weekend DH's BFF and wife were vacationing and passing by our house both Sat and Sun. We found out that they conceived their son via IVF; however, we didn't know they were struggling until they were actually pregnant (they knew of our struggles for 6 months before this)...on top of that we found out they were pregnant the day of our second loss. Long story short, we took a break from painting and hid in our bedroom and conceived C while avoiding a visit with them.
With the first one I remember because it was Christmas Eve and we were in Vietnam on holiday. I spent the morning laying out on the beach, late afternoon we went to a Christmas Eve mass that had to be held in the open air outside of the cathedral because there were so many people there, we went for a cocktail before and after that. Then we went back to the resort where they kids come in and sing Christmas carols, we had dinner there with several bottles of wine. We went to the connected bar after and H ended up with the bands microphone for his own rendition of Papa don't preach.
I've been pregnant 5 times & only know the time of the oops one. That's because we had sex well past my fertile window by like 2wks (or so we thought) & H did not pull out. No biggie, we'd done that many times. Then I saw evidence I was ovulating soon after... I tried to talk myself out of believing that it was possible and just put it out of my mind. A couple weeks went by & still no AF so I tested. I went in to the Doc and the U/S confirmed that either the pg was not viable (because at like 8wks after AF, it was nowhere near that far along) or I ovulated very late. Well I ovulated very late and darling DD3 is here.
