thegauntlet, dh has a lower sex drive than myself (i have no probs having sex every day if necessary ). i found with him it helped just having a few quickies instead of longer sex. also quite exciting (we did it in the kitchen ). sorry tmi!

or how about some porn? that never fails to help a bloke does it?! hth

so Im new here- a friend tipped me off. DH and I are sort of trying but arent very regular with the nookie- he is very stressed and tired at work. I have started taking temperature- i know that it is meant to go up around ovulation- but how much up? like a whole degree? also any tips to get him a bit keener for ttc? he's only nonchalent..

bubblebell1 · 18/01/2009 21:19

Aww angel how long until your offically LATE?

AngelFairy · 18/01/2009 21:16

Gettingstarted... Keep your chin up chick, enjoy the AF, just as Devils mentioned. Treat yourself and see this as a great opportunity to refresh, revive and excited about how productive this cycle will be. Here's an to help you x

I've decided to not buy any pregnancy tests, ever.
If my AF doesn't arrive, this month of any other month, then I shall buy on. Sod all this anxious waiting, it's nuts!
Seeing my boyf upset from BFN has put things into perspective!
She says... (Wanna take a bet to see how long I hold out)

Ha ha...

There's my rant, sorry ;)

bubblebell1 · 18/01/2009 21:14

Congratulations Missie and Boob I'm so pleased for you both.

Wizzy I don't blam you for being pissed off, why do they keep calling late at night.

gettingstarted I hope you're feeling a little better I think Devils idea is great I think I'm gonna do the same this month if af arrives, fingers crossed you'll be celebrating a bfp next time.

Hobnobfanatic · 18/01/2009 20:35

Congratulations Missie and Boob! Brilliant news!
(And thanks to MIssie and Smallone for the CM info and advice. We BDd this weekend, so am hoping that if Wed's sperm didn't last, then this weekend's will do the job!)
Good luck to everyone else who may be testing. I guess it's the dreaded 2ww for me now. Drums fingers impatiently...

lovelylullaby · 18/01/2009 20:15

Hello everyone, can I join too?

ttc#2 ucl is all over the shop cd10

Hoping next weekend is the one for us!

DevilsAdvocaat · 18/01/2009 20:12

ahem *disappear

DevilsAdvocaat · 18/01/2009 20:11

yay well done boob!

gettingstarted, poor you. i know it doesn't seem like it but one day you'll be pg and all this will dissapear into the back of your mind. af will come and go and then you can try again.

why don't you decide that every time af comes, you and your dp go out to dinner and celebrate (that's right, celebrate!) with a romantic evening with plenty of wine, soft cheese and shellfish. each month choose somewhere nice to look forward to and try to enjoy it! (of course if you're skint do it at home and put on some smart clothes!)

i've been really snappy today and yesterday. hope it isn't pmt.

earlynite · 18/01/2009 20:04

Did a test today. CD25 BFN of course! You lot are a bad influence

RubyBuckleberry · 18/01/2009 18:47

Hi Angel, I'm not going to test until my AF is completely late as I have had a positive and then got AF on time which was a bit freaky... I don't really feel anything as yet anyway so I'm not really counting on it...

MensaReject · 18/01/2009 18:32

Hi all, congratulations to our graduates! Still no af here (cd29 but i've always had irregular periods so who knows when i'm due on! Although, i would have thought the Clomid would regulate things??) I'm weeing more often and have sore boobs - both Clomid symptoms i think. The cm is white and sticky and alot less now so looks like af will be making an appearance soon. I've got an awful migraine atm so am off to bed. I haven't tested because i'm scared but don't hold out much hope.

gettingstarted · 18/01/2009 17:43

theboob fingers crossed for you, that is so exciting!

I tested Saturday morning and it was a BFN, and AF has come today. I cried a lot last night about it and am feeling generally down. Last month I'd had the flu and didn't hold out much hope, but I did this month. This is only our 2nd month ttc, but because we've had to find a donor etc it has been such a long process already. Added to which the BDing is not the same. I want to be making a baby with my partner not a have someone else involved whose emotions I have to think about etc, and who I don't love. It is just causing such a large swirl of emotions. I'm hoping my hormones calm down soon! Sorry for the 'rant'

idreamofbeanie · 18/01/2009 17:36

Hey boob - even a faint line counts as a positive. Congratulations! . Fingers crossed for a lovely dark line on Tuesday.

Sorry for neg angelfairy - it's still quite early for you though isn't it? Still time for a BFP this month.

girl - better grab your hubby and make the most of your positive OPK . These long cycles must be so frustrating - is this usual for you? Can anything be done about it (sorry if that's a stupid question, just wondered if you could be prescribed anything).

Hey wizzywoo - time to start taking the phone off the hook? Bloody in-laws!

Who else is testing this week? I am going to test on Thursday (or Wednesday if I run out of patience) unless AF hits me first. The witch is due Tuesday or Wednesday.

WizzyWoo · 18/01/2009 17:09

Congratulations Missie and Boob, I'm over the moon for you both

Haven't posted for a few days because I found I was getting too caught up in ttc and getting a bit stressed. Had a huuuuuuuuge row with DH on Friday night. Getting a little sick of his family ringing late at night, usually when we're getting jiggy with it Ended up siting butt naked waiting for him to finish speaking to his sister for 45 minutes Went to sleep not speaking at all (only done that once in 10 1/2 years together...) but talked it through yesterday and all ok. Have informed him that if his sister/mother/brother call again during BDg, I will pick up the phone and tell them they are interrupting hot nookie and to go away - I wouldn't really but he doesn't know that!!

Had EWCM, crampy pains etc yesterday, so maybe cycle is a little shorter this month? Bucketloads of babydust to everyone

AngelFairy · 18/01/2009 16:23

I found ya... When are you going to test? Have you had any symptoms?

AngelFairy · 18/01/2009 16:18

Thanks Ruby... What are your stats?

girlwithacurl · 18/01/2009 13:17

Yehay Missy and fingers cross for you boob

I finally got that elusive positive on my OPK today... CD26!!!! arrrggg. kinda explains why it has taken us so long though!

RubyBuckleberry · 18/01/2009 11:52

Weel done MissMoo and theboob - a good start to this week! Fingers crossed for you Angel...

AngelFairy · 18/01/2009 11:15

Congratulations Missy!!! So pleased for you!

Mine was neg today, stating positive about it though.

bubblebell1 · 18/01/2009 10:58
