BFP in 2013

So sorry red. I hope you get a relaxing weekend with lots of pampering from your DH. Same to fatas too.

I do sort of feel quite disconnected from it all res but when I get that BFP everything will fall into place. I find it helpful to separate the two things so I don't get upset. I really don't want this to take over my life if I can help it. DP's excitement and positivity is infectious so it's impossible to dwell too long on the negative sides of TTC anyway.

for fatas and red hope you both have someone nearby to give you both a big hug.

Oh red I'm sorry :(

:( fatas

Hugs to all who need them

Ah red I'm sorry

Feeling a bit rubbish this morning. Very pessimistic but keep having flashes of optimism which make the bump back down to earth more painful stupid ttc

Oh bollocks to it. Sorry red

Any news red?

How're you doing fatas?

Ha thingy reading your posts feels like reading something I wrote. Your poor DH. People just do not think (but I was one of them until we started this TTC fiasco). And if you have achieved the mental separation successfully, you'll probably be like me in pregnancy; I really didn't get the pregnant = baby connection until the end (which explains why I was already 10cms dilated when I rang the hospital - not so much denial, just disconnection).

Sorry guys, you lost me after 'no female orgasm'. I'm out.
DP held his boss's baby yesterday and got very broody, well worse than normal if that's possible. Everyone at work was saying he'd be next and he had to pretend he wasn't even trying. I feel bad for him but he's always positive. I realised I have mentally separated the TTC part from the idea of a baby. I did that after 3 months of trying and also stopped looking at baby items. I imagine this will lead to an odd realisation that I'm actually having a baby when I get that BFP.
How is everyone else doing? Lots of people gearing up to dtd?

when read it. I'm sold. Am gonna DTD without big O at least every three days for next 2 weeks. Can't hurt!

I didn't even think of it that way fatas

If I'm having sex after ov I'm damn well going to enjoy it. Plus dh is not great at performing whilst being informed of ttc details. I have to pretend I am lusting after his body let's face it we all just want the sperm

So basically that article says have sex but no female orgasm which could interfere with implantation!! Happy days for the boys

Oh my mum wasn't nearby, that would have been beyond odd.

here

resipsa here it is. It looks quite interesting, they looked at couples going through ivf. I think they will need to do a few more studies till they can say there is a clear benefit but I'm you g to try it anyway.

when not-secret-anymore-twin - my mum was in the spare room at the time. If yours was too, that'd be really spooky!

What website told you about the new semen-is-good-for-more-than-the-obvious info? I need to read it. DH likely to be delighted that post-O dry spell might be a thing of the past!

Good luck with the second SA red.

I can just about drag my arse out of bed in the morning, let alone have sex!

Cd9 here so will start the pointless shagging

red my dd was the result of morning wood (shocking that resipsa's conception story is the same ). I kind of leapt on him after a sex dream, maybe these odd dreams are a good thing.

red I'm pretty sure DD was made one Sunday morning.

Well red you have more willpower than me! I would have to test at the point you're at!! But then I am a POAS addict...

I'm trying to do the same when. I kind of give up after ovulation and my sex drive disappears. My DP said his boss's wife got pregnant a week after ovulation so we should keep going. I just stared at him blankly not knowing where to start with that one but we might as well carry on just in case.

when - yes, sleep sex, definitely!!! I def think shagging through whole cycle is the best approach, no way that sneaky ov can get through the net then and of course Dr Google also advises it...so it must be true, right?!

red - Still keeping fx we'll see you on the grads thread over weekend if AF doesn't show her face and she better not or i'll kick her!

fatas - said it on the other thread already but :( :(

red 16 days is a long time to wait. Still got my fx.

Maybe I should get dh to have sex with me while I'm asleep?

Oh my god just read something really important via Dr Google should really be working but hey ho

Semen is thought to be important for implantation and embryo development. It's a bit new and there needs to be more trials but it is thought that sex after ovulation is important too.

I think the theory is that factors in the sperm encourage the uterine lining to accept the embryo and also help it develop. Why am I only finding this out now? If I knew this back in April I might not have had all those bloody chem pregs (assuming I actually did something out it that is).

Right operation shag - it's on. No more giving up post ov for me I'm going to keep going (maybe every 3-4 days post ov).
