Thank god you replied, I was so worried I had totally overstepped the mark
Your poor DH, they must have done something funny to all his nerves when he was younger
Can't he get it sorted out again? Or would he be embarassed to ask.
I know I am, I can't even use the right words on here, never mind to a doc, esp my one.
My convo goes, 'when we..em..yeah blah blah blah' He has to fill in the blanks, blankety blank style
I am not sure he would have a clue what I was talking about if I said BD'd but it is so much nicer to say.

Oh dear, gibbering now, I must take my self to bed.

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 23:16

TF you dirty girl i didnt read it in that way so it must just be you FWIW i can never get the same..ahem..effect on my DH that his left hand does usually he takes AGES with me and a min or 2 with himself iyswim (TF prob does) would it be an easier option for him to maybe get himself nearly there and then you jump on and finish??(sorry) its my trick when im tired and just need a quickie BD iyswim my little brother had to have an op to remove one of testes as he had a hydrocele cyst which cut off the blood supply and killed off the ball in question. i have obv never asked him how it has affected his sex life though

You're not far off actually lol he lies on his front with it sort of pointing towards his feet and does something fiddley to the bottom of it (near his testicles) i cant really explain it and he would kill me if he knew i'd told everyone this sort of stuff lol. Sometimes when we've had sex he says he has ejaculated but most of the time hes not sure, i've sometimes got him to do it himself and sort of caught it in a pot and inserted it that way as at least then we're sure its in sorry tmi

twinklingfairy · 12/02/2008 23:02

Hello shakey I apologise in advance but I now have strange images of your DP/H trying to , er ...um.. pleasure himself (sorry, innocent catholic girl, can't use the proper words) upside down with his arm through his leg?!!

Can't use the words, but what an imagination eh?

ShakeysGirl · 12/02/2008 22:48

I've got 2 sons with my ex husband. We've not been using contraception since september so we've been trying about 5 months. I did have the depo in jan 07 and i've heard that it can take a year to wear off which sounds right as jan 7th was my first af since then. I did a test a week ago as i had sore boobs but it must have just been an Ovulation symptoms or something, i'm not sure how everything works in that area, our method is just to have a lot of sex and hope for the best lol.

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 22:44

oh and shakey it looks like you have 2 cycle buddies in the shape of bucky and jerryernie so you will have heaps of support from all angles

ShakeysGirl · 12/02/2008 22:25

I hope no one minds me joining this thread but dp and i are ttc and everyone here seems so supportive. My last af was jan 7th and having just been to the bathroom it seems to have re appeared today. One of our problems is that dp struggles to ejaculate and rarely does although can when hes masturbating as he does it in a very strange way than we can't replicate during sex. He had surgery on his testicles when he was younger which has only left him with one. Anyhow hello everyone and sorry for gate crashing!

JerryErnie · 12/02/2008 21:34

Hey Bucky, I'm so pleased we're cycle buddies! My cycles are normally about 27 days, how about yours? I'm going to surf the ovulation calendar websites soon to find out when to try again.

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 21:27

Great, now I've killed the thread.

Hrrrmphh.

ScaryHairy · 12/02/2008 19:04

It's good to see you again Madoldbird. You don't need to apologise for having a break - we all need time off sometimes. Having recently been a total misery and banned myself from the thread for a couple of weeks I know exactly how you feel!

Lovely news for your brother TF and nice that you are so happy for them. It's hard not to be, isn't it? A new baby is just a lovely thing.

Sorry TEW turned up Bucky.

Welcome to JerryErnie. This thread's really nice. So much so that if I ever get my BFP I rather suspect they'll need to drag me off to the ante-natal threads kicking and screaming!

Good evening to Mibbes, Ei, DG, Scully, GG and anyone I had accidentally missed with my speedy typing. Hope you're all well.

No news from here. I haven't had any more spotting and it is still too early to test. I think I ov'd last Tuesday so the earliest date at which I could sensibly test is Friday, I think. Which won't stop me giving it a go before then. I don't even have any symptoms. My temp went higher again today but I am fighting a cold so I suspect that is the cause...

Someone was asking about OPKs and the time lag before ovulation I think? I've found loads of useful information on www.peeonastick.com on all sorts of timing-type queries, so it might be worth a look.

See you all later.

GryffinGirl · 12/02/2008 18:38

wooohooo - it's madoldbird back in the 2WW fold. Of course we welcome you back and there is no need to apologise to us for disappearing. Everyone here needs time out. After 14 cycles or something I get fed up too, so I know what you mean about wanting to stay away for a while until you get your head together. We're so glad to have you back

twinklingfairy · 12/02/2008 17:20

Oh no mrsei You can't have that title, that happens to me all the time. Mostly cos I am a bit of an insomniac and am always posting after everyone has gone to bed

Well, NTR here again. Boobs are not really hurting anymore and I now realise thet they did this last month. I was convinced that I was gonna get a BFP cos my boobs were feeling so full, but they calmed down and I thought maybe not. AF turned up and it is all happening again this month

On the happy side, my fave big bro has just announced that his GF is 7 weeks pregnant
I couldn't be happier for him. He was with an older lady for a long time and the family thought that he was not going to get the chance to be a daddy to his own child. They split up about 2 years ago, he met his GF, is head over heels in love and now a baby is on the way!
We are a catholic family and they are not married, so I thought I had some time to get my #2 first, but I really am surprising myself with how happy I am for them

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 16:53

phew i thought i had killed another one it gets to a point in the day where the threads im on stands still with me as the last poster for aaaaaggggges must be me...

ha ha no need MrsEI I'm here !
MOB lovely to see you - poor you getting so down about ttc. Going to a reflexologist is a great way to approach things positively but in the meantime

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 15:05

i was thinking about changing my MN name to SerialThreadKiller what dya think??

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 14:19

madoldbird · 12/02/2008 13:56

A big hello everyone.

I am so sorry that i disappeared for a while. i was just really fed-up and down about ttc and things in general, that i have stayed away. i hope you will all forgive me and let me back on the thread! I have been really ratty with DH, even telling him that i wanted to stop trying (though, of course, that's the last thing i want to do). He then said that if i made that decision it could destroy us, and that knocked some sense into me. I am on CD13, after an early AF last time (must go and change my stats in the waiting room).

I hope everyone is well. i will read through and catch up with things. I do see though, that congratulations are in order for MTW that's wonderful!! And DG good to hear that you and digibean are doing well. I cannot believe that you are 8 weeks already.

I am off to have my first visit to a reflexologist in a minute, in an attempt to be positive about things. Once again, i hope you'll forgive me for being away for so long...

digitalgirl · 12/02/2008 13:44

hey mibbles I think it's the change in direction of gravity from lying down for a few hours, then getting up...really hurts for a minute or so. wouldn't think little b-cups could inflict any pain .

just popped out to get a valentine's day card for DH - the card shop was rammed, had to fight my way through!

mibbes · 12/02/2008 12:12

Hey DG great to hear from you ! I can't believe that is 8 weeks already Why are your boobs upset at night-time toilet trips ?

scully · 12/02/2008 11:42

Hello again, I'm off to bed soon Good to hear you're doing well DG.
Welcome Jerry
No news here, just waiting for ovulation which should be sometime this week......

MrsEi25 · 12/02/2008 11:24

hi DG glad to hear you and digibean are doing well WOW 8 weeks!! (8 down 32 to go xx)
