Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

Awww @ginge35 maybe you've missed it and sounds like you've DTD enough to have yourself covered. I'm not using opks so can't help really, just cycle tracking and feeling my cervix! Haha but I guess there's no way to know if I've ovulated that way.

Haha I have enjoyed the vision of all the gymnastics afterwards... I also had the 'should I pee or not' dilemma and also went for a ten mins legs up then a wee !

Apparently lots of sex all the time not just during fertile week is also good because then your body gets used to the sperm/ejaculate and doesn't try and fight it out or something. I read that a couple of years ago and it may have just been written by someone encouraging more sex who knows!

@Ginge35 I can't offer any advice as I'm not testing I'm trusting fitbit 😬but I can understand your disappointment 😢hope you get your static smiley soon x

Hi All!

I'm TTC on cycle number 4 - was hopeful before Christmas but AF came on the 20th Dec.

Supposedly I should have ovulated on Saturday (I had two positive LH strip tests and then a negative) but my BBT did not spike it has gone up gradually and today exceeded base for the first time - where as last month (first month temping) it spiked the next day - anyone else had this?

Good luck everyone x

Morning ladies how we all doing x

In regards to the orgasm it's best to do it before your OH "deposits" as it makes our environment more alkaline which sperm thrive in, too acidic and sperm die also the uterus is always contracting anyway to help the sperm (there's a good video on YouTube that shows you step by step what happens between depositing and the sperm reaching the egg).

Asf I'm somewhere between 4-6 dpo and I feel sick as a dog, headaches, nips are sore and I'm pretty sure after all this symptom spotting af will rear her ugly face but hey ho maybe I'll learn not to next cycle 😁

I think it could work before but depends how long before- the orgasm causes everything to contract which apparently gives anything in there a little boost. 🤷 Not that I conducted excess googling last time around or anything...

*Just keep having sex! Something will happen eventually!

That's pretty much been my conclusion too.

I did hear that the woman orgasming after helps the little swimmers along a bit though, so make of that what you will.

@BecauseReasons I worded mine wrong I mean I googled it worrying that peeing would have a negative impact but it doesn't. So I waited 10/15 mins the bad my wee.

@newmum2020 the sound of the waves may encourage them along lol

I actually googled if it was ok to wee or not after for fear of a uti and it's said it's doesn't really make a difference

www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-tract-infections-utis/

Scroll down to where it talks about preventing UTIs. There's a fair body of research to say that peeing after sex helps avoid a UTI. Obviously, entirely up to you, but it's not a risk I'd take personally.

Good luck to the swimmers either way!

😂😂😂@FarmerWantsABaby I think you did !! To be fair I probably better not try and find my cervix right now cos that could be messy 🤣@Wintergal I'm laughing at you giving them time to do their swimming because right now I'm lying in bed listening to Alexa playing the sound of waves....do you think it will help them along 😆

I actually googled if it was ok to wee or not after for fear of a uti and it's said it's doesn't really make a difference but I still give the little guys some time to do their swimming! Lol

@newmum2020 I lay with said deposit inside one night. It was horrific 😂
@Geauxtigers I can’t find my cervix. Maybe I’m cervixless. Or my fingers are too small.

@newmum2020 I think I managed to lower the tone....

Another thing I read somewhere (was it maybe this thread?!) is to lie with the ahem "deposit" inside you overnight.....so I'm giving that a whirl tonight

Rather you than me. I was told to always go for a wee after or risk urinary tract infection.

Haha 😂 I'm actually LOL here. Totally on the same wavelength 🤪I've just set my alarm for 5.30am and told hubby he's getting a morning treat before work on the (potential 🤞) big O day 😍😍. Another thing I read somewhere (was it maybe this thread?!) is to lie with the ahem "deposit" inside you overnight.....so I'm giving that a whirl tonight 🤣🤣

Just told DH he had to keep it in until he is soft and he now thinks am totally nuts! I am defo in the right convo lol

I had my index finger up feeling for my cervix this afternoon and trying to decide if it felt like my lips (fertile) or like the tip of my nose (already ovulate) apparently we are looking for a cervix on SHOW (soft, high, open and wet) 😂 literally sitting in the bathroom thinking to myself I'd gone absolutely mad.

Pretty sure I'm ovulating tomorrow and from what I could tell my cervix is backing that up! This is only my TTC cycle 1 so hoping I've got the timings of the cycle right!

I’m not sure either. But I am sure of one thing.... I’ve joined the right convo lol

@FarmerWantsABaby @Wintergal @Ginge35 I am not sure how much further we can lower this tone 😱🤣🤣

@newmum2020 LOL HOW ATTRACTIVE 😂😂😂

@Wintergal 😂😂this article said til they go soft....🤪xx
