Here we go! Thread 14 for the nicest bunch of women on Mumsnet

Thread 13 was very joyful and very painful for me, but what it has shown me is that even old warhorses like me can get lucky, so there's no excuse for all you nubile young honies not to deliver the goods! Come on now, Mama Hester expects you to do your duty by your fellow ttc-ers

Get ready now, 1 - 2 - 3, GO!!!

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:45

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:45

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:44

munnzieb · 22/11/2004 12:43

I thought they were bad as well tania?, have you asked in your local chemist? the pharmacist should be able to recommend a good lube.

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:43

yeah dont really know why maybe alkaline level i think that if you have a high alkaline it actually attacks the sperm???? dont quote me on that thou have read something somewhere!!! always reading something

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:41

11:40pm should be going to bed now. I read on a thread that ky and other lubes are bad for swimmers and we have plenty of the stuff but too scared to use it now.

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:40

suppose might alter ph.........

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:39

just as a quick note, ky is water based so shouldn't harm anything - what time is it with you just now?

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:38

KY is bad for swimmers really every lube on the market is even saliva!!! read that somewhere

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:37

yeah well he is happily snoozing atm. will maybe try for a early morning quicky i maybe more relaxed iykwim. but he is leaving for work at 6am so it really will be early and a quicky so i can get back to sleep.

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:35

KY Jelly should do the trick - do you get it in Oz

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:34

your dh will be pleased - at least every other day

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:34

So does anyone know of anything you can use to lube that wont harm the swimmers????

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:34

yup, can count that way, thurs would add up re what's happening with cm and would explain things - really hope this is your month - I'm a great believer in listening to your body and using other things as a guide only

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:33

I have just got to get some action in this week now dont i!!!

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:31

Well if i dont get any help from cm soon than i will proberly miss this month if i count back 14 days from when my af is due then the ov day will be on Thursday this week is that another way you can count???

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:28

if 26 days - then fertile 23-27th nov so you could be expecting from tomorrow

Twiga · 22/11/2004 12:27

according to babycentre fertile 21-25th nov, still not an exact sciece though as we're all different.

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:26

My cycle varies thou anywhere from a 26 to last month a 24 thats the shortest.

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:23

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:22

Last af started on the 15th of Nov on a 24 day cycle.

Tania2 · 22/11/2004 12:21
