RubyBuckleberry · 08/01/2009 21:57

Hi everyone, can I join - I had a very clear BFP last month after testing two days early - and then AF arrived bang on time boo!! We were so excited and then poof it was gone...

Anyway, trying again so

ttc#1 cycle 4 CD 14

We are not temping or anything just BDing lots

Mumto2littleangels · 08/01/2009 21:49

Oh well, we can make sure that we both don't get too obsessed! Am off to bed now before I get kicked out by dd!

Will keep up eith thread and keep fingers crossed for all ttc.

earlynite · 08/01/2009 21:47

We didn't TTC 1st time. DS was an accident He is 5.5 now and I reeeaaaalllly want another so all this date watching is new to me. 1st month of trying so trying not to get too obssessed.

Mumto2littleangels · 08/01/2009 21:42

Lol, I know. I haven't had any trouble concieving before and for some reason I am paranoid that this time, its not going to happen. Don't know why and shouldn't get myself hung up over it as we have only just started trying.

However, our dd is not helping, lol!

earlynite · 08/01/2009 21:37

mumto2 young children are a great contraceptive arent they?

Mumto2littleangels · 08/01/2009 21:27

Oh earlynite, sorry to hear ure bed is occupied. Hope u manage to get some bd'ing in at some point. Grrr at children that appear in our beds. Our dd turns up in our bed in the early hours so dh and I have some time to ourselves when we first go to bed!!!

earlynite · 08/01/2009 21:19

Hi everyone, According to fertility friend i am at my most fertile right now! However, I doubt I will be BDing tonight coz my DS has thrownup all over his bed and is now sleeping peacefully in ours!

Mumto2littleangels · 08/01/2009 21:02

Ok. Well Hi to everyone on here. I think I am joining in the right thread!

We have literally just decided to ttc another baby. Am so not in tune with my body but according to fertility friend my possible fertile days were Sunday, Monday, Tuesday just gone and we only started bd'ing yesterday (sorry TMI!). Altho only using fertility friend as a guide so if we continuing bd'ing do we still have a chance this month.

Sorry am at what I just wrote but advice please.

Thank you everyone.

StealthPo09IsHere · 08/01/2009 20:54

hi everyone
didn't realise there were people as obsessed as me! Is nice to be among people who think about the same things

TrixieVix · 08/01/2009 20:49

Just wanted to quickly update you all - I WANNA BABY!!!!

Still nothing - no AF, no +ve. Grrr - what's going on?!

Have started to give temping a go....first day today - not quite sure what I should be doing or not doing, but I'll muddle on through

DevilsAdvocaat · 08/01/2009 20:21

what if you orgasm before and after he does?!

we bd yesterday and planning to tomorrow which will be day 8 i think.

tmi alert:

dh and i don't use any contraception usually so it was nice to have him, ahem, finish inside maybe will rethink the contraception thing after this one.

theboob · 08/01/2009 18:33

hi all

well today I am so bloated ,either that or a have put on loads of weight since xmas

hope you are all well,i must get off here to revise for my human phys exam in the morning,and try to fit in BD

take care

idreamofbeanie · 08/01/2009 17:24

Hi all and welcome to the newcomers,

moss - sorry AF arrived, fingers crossed this will be your month.

Well I have been trying out the ovulation sticks this month - got a faint positive test line, lighter than control on Mon-Wed (CD12 - 14) then a definite dark positive test line today. I think that means I should ovulate tomorrow, CD16 - is that right??? DP is working away tonight but we BD'd this morning and we will BD tomorrow night then its the rotten 2ww.

I also do the lying around in bed thing after we BD (DP thinks he is such a stud I need that long to recover ). I haven't gone as far as trying headstands afterwards but if this takes a few months who knows . I lay on my left side after so if I get lucky this month we can see if the beanie is a boy (a boy would also fit the orgasm theory - sorry TMI . Maybe DP is right about being a stud )

MensaReject · 08/01/2009 13:57

Girlwithacurl - it's easy for me as i only have to squirt it in with the syringe whilst dp gets to enjoy himself for a few minutes actually to be fair to him, hes finding it quite difficult to perform on demand, especially as he struggles anyway. Its so frustrating when it doesn't happen, he blames himself and i try to reassure him but it just adds more pressure. He wants this so much (previous dc are my exhs) his sperm test came back normal so hopefully sometime soon we'll have a bfp

eeyore2 · 08/01/2009 11:35

Hi waiting, I don't know about the boy/girl thing but on your OPK question I prefer the digital ones (Clearblue) even though they are more expensive. Just because I prefer a clear display rather than squinting at two similar lines and driving yourself mad about whether it's positive or negative. It is definitely more expensive though.

theboob · 08/01/2009 09:46

morning all

well i ordered some tests from ebay,but now i will have to learn to control myself

i have never charted while i ttc so I'm not even sure when my 2ww will be ,i just wait till i think is right then test lol

i still cant get back into my routine and getting to sleep at about 2.30am but still have to get up early I'm shattered

hope your all well and not to cold in this horrible weather

girlwithacurl · 08/01/2009 09:41

mensa even... clearly I am a reject as well.

girlwithacurl · 08/01/2009 09:40

Wow Menas kudos to you! you must be exhuasted!

I don't think you have to lay on your back with feet in the air, but if it makes you feel better then I say where is the harm!

Hello pavlov Moss hope this is your month! we will get there together.

bubblebell1 · 08/01/2009 09:26

waiting i also heard that if you orgasm before you dh then that favours boy sperm and if you dont orgasm at all then that favours girls!! not sure how true but we should try that out too

OP posts:
WaitingforaSproglettoFall · 08/01/2009 08:59

Whoopsy - thanks for updating bluebell

Quite like the idea of a MN experiment, but DH and I keep changing our minds about what sex we'd prefer so I'd spend the entire time switching sides!

Guess I better head off to work

bubblebell1 · 08/01/2009 08:48

sorry waiting... you missed a few newbies off your list... i will stick them back on

i heard that laying on your left after intercourse helps you concieve a boy and on the rightside for a girl!!! we should all record that and see if it works for a laugh.

Well, bd (think that's the right abbreviation!) last night and lay there for 20 minutes afterwards with my bum on a pillow. Have no idea if that actually makes a difference or not but thought I'd give it a go .

A TMI question I'm afraid, how essential is it for me to orgasm after DH? I know the cervix sort of dips down as it were but after DH had 'delivered' I couldn't relax enough to come a second time....

The things the ttc makes you think about!

Stealth - I have no idea about cycle lenght as i've always been very irregular 35-65 days! I've read tho that Clomid gives you a normal cycle so fingers crossed i'll be able to start working out when i ovulate etc. The only plus point is that i get to lie down for half an hour every day with my legs up - anything for a bit of peace and quiet we've managed to give it another go tonight, (tmi sorry) what day should we stop? I have no symptoms of anything except a cold yet.
