Spinning and jenny, yes we need to be more sneaky! They'll be desperate for it if we put them off, and then won't be able to refuse when we happen to seduce them around our ov time muhaha.
Seriously though It's good to know we're not alone on this - dh was quite pissed off about it actually, but I just tried not to make it a big deal. We have dtd so much yhis month anyway I hunk I wore him out, so fx one of the swimmers made it !

JennyOfOldstones · 06/01/2014 16:24

spinning and kitty the problem we had this month is that we dtd on cd6 and 8 because we were staying with family and he for some reason finds this a turn on(!) then we had the 'issue' on cd10 when we were back home. I wished I had said no so he would be desperate for it but I just feel that turning him down won't be good for his ego either!! It is so difficult. We just have to be more sneaky don't we!! I am cd17 now so have missed the window anyway. We obviously need to go and stay with his family once a month at the right time!!

Thanks Mama.....I guess it could be possible, dp will think he has super sperm if it does happen this monthGrin

Kitty and Jenny...,..pleased I'm not the only one going through this although sorry that you have as well!
It really is hard to know what to do for the best.....dp asked me to tell him when I ov so I find the while thing really frustrating!! We dtd last night, dp hadn't been near me for a wrek and I was feeling quite sad.....I just decided to wait until he was in the moodGrin

Because I ov quite early (cd11) I think I will put him off next month if he wants to dtd before cd9......hopefully he'll be desperate by the time I ov!! Grin

LH a blood test apparently is more sensitive so even if you are pg it may not show on the hpt Smile

Kittyrose1 · 06/01/2014 15:26

Spinning and jenny, I feel for the guys - dh couldn't finish the task so to speak last night, I was really supportive but also really frustrated because if I've ov,d later this month really needed to get bding that night :s it's the pressure isn't it, and I don't want it to become just about baby making but it's hard not to wen as a woman you know the best times to be dtd ... I guess if it's meant to be it's meant to be!

Flukewoman · 06/01/2014 15:20

that's promising wonder, fx for you.

Thanks choccy - interesting that you feel ov pain over three days, I hadn't thought about it going on like that. I suspect I feel ovulation pain sometimes and this is very different and is a strange heavy feeling. Like I'm lying on something with all my weight on my stomach when actually I'm just sitting upright. I remember a similar feeling from pregnancy, but late pregnancy when there's a giant baby in the way, not early stage. I am starting to think it must be a genuine psychosomatic symptom. Hence the crazy.

mama31 · 06/01/2014 14:59

Awh spinning! Yes prob best not to tell him! It's so much pressure!! But you never know, it only takes one little spermie you could get lucky as it's down to fate really!

JennyOfOldstones · 06/01/2014 14:58

spinning my OH had the first instance of failure to perform last week, I had no idea how to handle it, he didn't seem that bothered but hasn't come near me since, I don't know whether to try and talk about it or just leave it until he initiates things again. I have tried not to put any pressure on but he isn't stupid and when I suddenly want it every second day he knows why!! We were once a week people before TTC. It is just so hard already without this as well. (Rant over).

LH1981 · 06/01/2014 14:56

Hi Choccy,

Yes, pretty straightforward but I hate the docs and just thought I'd wait it out as I'd find out one way or the other soon enough...but it's not soon enough for me!! Getting so impatient!
I'll give it one more week and if no AF or BFP, the docs it is!
xx

spinningirl10 · 06/01/2014 14:45

Wonder.....that sounds good!!! Poas again in the morningGrin

spinningirl10 · 06/01/2014 14:44

Sazzle good to see youGrin reflexology sounds like a great idea. I was reading up about acupuncture helping with ttc but not sure I fancy having needles stuck in meConfused

Mama....I'm ok'ish Grin trying to focus on other things!!! I ov'd at new year and we were away in a beautiful hotel and dp got stage fright and couldn't performHmm I was really upset.....even though I tried not to be! So we only dtd once about 3 days before ov so not holding out any hope for this month! Af due Jan 16th ish.

I've decided that I'm not going to tell him when I ov from now on as we don't have a problem any other time!

wondercat07 · 06/01/2014 14:38

Wow! Might be extremely faint line! On test that, now I've bothered to read the instructions, isn't meant to be used until day after AF due. Which is tomorrow! Tentatively amazed!!

Choccywoccydodah · 06/01/2014 14:30

LH have you had a blood test? Can you get one easily?

Choccywoccydodah · 06/01/2014 14:28

Ginger really hope you get a positive soon, I've been there, but I got to day 40 and got a positive so hopefully you've not got much longer to wait either way Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 06/01/2014 14:27

Fluke it could be ov pain that you're feeling. I had it for about 3 days, it's called Mittelschmerz.

Mama, hope your dh gets his swimmers tested soon so at least you can see if there's anything that can be done. Fingers crossed you won't need to though Smile

Hi saz!!! I haven't tried the venos, sounds lovely! I had some covonia a few months back for some phlegm build up (nice!) and it was the worst thing I've ever had, so I don't like medicine, but any things worth it!!

WakeyTryingAgain · 06/01/2014 14:23

Off the bus I think. Got spotting today...no AF pains as yet so bit of a strange month but think it will have started by tomorrow. Congrats to the BFPs!!!!!

Moffit · 06/01/2014 14:20

Congratulations kitkat and rocking!!

mama31 · 06/01/2014 14:02

Thanks LH! 3rd day of no spotting but def not holding out any hopes think I'm just having a random cycle....boobs starting to be tender which is usual pre af! Awhhh I hope you get your bfp soon! What a wait you have had! Good luck!!!

Sazzle lovely to hear from you! I've heard great things about reflexology! Hope it works well for you :) and I really really hope you get your bfp soon! Stay chilled :) easier said than done I know ;)

Kittyrose1 · 06/01/2014 13:08

I think I'm losing the plot! AF or bfp due 13th-17th jan ... Fx for the bfp

Kittyrose1 · 06/01/2014 12:56

PMSL so sorry but my iPhone was having a meltdown !!
Was trying to say wow kitkat and rocking that is fabulous news! It's very exciting checking into this thread and discovering new BFPs!

Barmy I'm not sure when I ov my ic didn't arrive until a week into cycle and then I got out of routine testing what with Christmas. According to apps I ov anywhere between cd11 and cd19 so I would be way to early to test now on cd21 if I ov later this month. I have been getting some low dull aches in the womb area but again I'm not sure if I am makig symptoms happen. Otherwise no other change other than being extremely moody according to dh :( but that could be PMS!
Sazzle are you going to take the Venos everyday? I run out of mine about cd16 so I will buy a bigger bottle if no luck this month. Bfp or AF due 14th-21st jan

Gingerpanther27 · 06/01/2014 12:56

Lh - my dp has presumed I'm pregnant lol. He's trying to live in bliss whilst at the same time saying I should get to the drs to push them. I just want to know what's going on. If I'm not pregnant then wtf. I've never had this since I started getting periods unless pregnant. And well that was a while ago.

Kittyrose1 · 06/01/2014 12:51

Kittyrose1 · 06/01/2014 12:51
