I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

well by the sounds of that he wont have time for popping any questions you will be far to busy dtd of course Wink

ok... well since you have brought up the issue of dtd more often.... i am just wondering as this was a suggestion of my dp's too, as we 'now dont dtd as much as we used to' Confused (i think he means no longer 4x a day Hmm) The national adverage is 127 times a year. I no thats just some random stats but for the sake of my sanity would anyone like to share how often they think is enough while ttc?

babybrain3 · 03/07/2011 06:54

Hehehe, I know that if you DTD too often there won't be as many little swimmers in there as they need time to build back up, I think the advice is every 2-3 days, especially when ovulating. However, with busy lives and demanding jobs, it's not always practical to DTD that often, and then there's always the risk of it becoming a bit scheduled and losing out on the romance....

I'm really excited, do you have any ideas when mr toddle will pop the question???

eurochick · 03/07/2011 08:49

toddle, I posted a thread asking just that a little while ago!

We aim for every other day from day 8 and then every day when I think I am ovulating. Once my chart confirms a temp rise, we go back to whatever we feel like.

Lugsie · 04/07/2011 13:25

Hi everyone, haven't been on here for a week or so so just catching up with posts...

Congrats world and stuff on your BFPs! Really pleased for you both Smile

Sorry to those who af got.

I'm loving the news of the impending proposals! Keep us posted girls!

Well CD18 here so no news from me, been trying to SWI as much as possible over the last week or so and about to start the 2ww. Its a weird feeling knowing it could have happened already but I need to wait two whole weeks to have it confirmed! FX!

Hope everyone is well and that you all had a nice weekend in the sun Smile

weimy · 04/07/2011 18:24

Hi all

Has anyone started a new thread yet? I'm on cd21 so in the 1ww Grin I usually start spotting 10/11 dpo through to AF so am due to start furtively checking my pants.

Love all this wedding news it's very exciting!!!

Carlitawantsababy · 04/07/2011 19:10

Hi everyone, sounds like everyone's doing well! I'm 4 dpo and have light cramping (or am imagining things!) very exciting, feels like it may be our month, we've done everything perfectly this month so fx! Grin

babybrain3 · 04/07/2011 19:46

Fx for you carlita!!!!

trope · 05/07/2011 10:40

so.... you know how I said there was 0% chance of me getting pregnant this cycle? Well fertility friend changed it's mind about my ovulation date - moved it to CD14 (I actually think it should be CD13) and as we SWId on CD13 there is absolutely a chance. OK, it's not a big chance, just the one time when I was fertile, but it only takes one, right?

So there goes my fluffy relaxing fun 2 weeks of beer drinking in the sunshine and not thinking about babies! (We are trying to relax and have a nice time though - had a lazy weekend and treated ourselves to dinner out in town on Sunday night).

I've been approached by a friend of DPs to do some freelance work on a start-up he's involved with, so am actually going to (hopefully) be working at least part time for a little bit - which should help distract me! Have only done 2 weeks work in the last 2.5 years so am a bit nervous - but am quite looking forward to it! Met with another start-up yesterday but the guy running it was completely nuts (refuses to do any planning!!) so I ran away!

I'm 6(or7)DPO right now and trying to resist the urge to symptom spot (although I think DP quite likes it when I sit grabbing at my breasts trying to work out if they're tender, or if it's just the muscles behind them aching from squash!!)

Love the idea of "furtively checking pants" weimy - mental image of you at a bus stop trying to catch a glimpse of things without people realising!! ;)

Exciting news Toddle & Babybrain! Do keep us updated! Grin

Carlita - that's so great - shall keep my fingers crossed for you!

threads are full at 1000 posts right? So we've got a little way to go, but I guess someone should start a new one soon? Weimy, do you want the honours? After all, you started this thread and it turned out all friendly & lovely! :)

RosyRosie · 05/07/2011 11:06

Is there a risk of these threads turning nasty? I can't imagine that! lol

Well, I think I should be ovulating about nowish but loads of SWI hasn't helped so far so I'm chilling out now and not trying to get all overbearing, obsessed and pushy and ruin our sexlife over it!

weimy · 05/07/2011 19:48

lol trope Grin thats such a funny thought and far too vivid!!!

Good luck with SWI Rosiy

FX carlita and trope!

I am quite happy for someone else to take the plunge and start the thread Grin

Carlitawantsababy · 05/07/2011 23:28

Really think it should be you weimy, you did so well with this one! Grin

babybrain3 · 06/07/2011 20:13

Oh, I'm fed up, why is it that the week I am ovulating, dp is having an extremely stressful time at work??? It's not looking good for us this month:( so much for DTD more often..

ShonaJG · 06/07/2011 21:17

Hello folks, would you mind if I joined in? I've just found this thread and it is a delight to read thoughts of like minded people. Thank you!!

I have one daughter,nearly 3, who took a whole 3 agonising years to conceive owing to PCOS. I was on the IVF list but conceived naturally to my absolute joy. I know how absolutely lucky I am and any second conception will be a big bonus :) It doesn't stop it hurting every time someone else conceives at the drop of a hat though!! V selfish!

I've been trying again since Sep 10 and didn't find ovulation point using Clearblue sticks for a few months, so went to GP who did two 21 day blood tests - the first which showed no ovulation, the second which did. He's asked me to try again until Sep (when I will turn 37) and then he will refer me to hosp, hopefully for some kind of help ovulating - Clomid??

I really appreciate how responsive he was, but he did say 'Well, I don't really believe in PCOS'. Not v helpful after trying to manage this condition for 6 years!

Anyhoo, the stats!

I have always been spot on 28 days, apart from coming of the pill donkeys years ago but in May my cycle was 38 days, I was convinced I was pregnant but was not, obv. The cycle after that was 26 days, just to keep me on my toes! To date I am on day 23, due on Monday 11th July and I've just had a couple of light pink spots when wiping. I am hoping they are the mythical implantation spots, but in my heart I am so grumpy today I know my AF must be due - bah.

Please may I get on the bus? waves ticket, offers round Krispy Kremes

ShonaJG · 06/07/2011 21:18

ps. babybrain3 I've had the exact same with my dh and there is nothing worse. We had serious words on holiday and this month he came home early every night. Fingers crossed for you xx

How exciting! The ring I mean, not that we appear to be cycle buddies.

toddle · 07/07/2011 18:12

Well eurochick now i take offence its like you dont want to be cycle buddies Sad

Its very exciting :). I have a feeling it will be when we are away for the week but then his waiting three weeks for something Hmm. So well i think.... haha im a idiot its three weeks when we will be away it must be it surely. Well ill feel like a idiot if its not know lol.

babybrain3 · 07/07/2011 18:15

That's really good news toddle keep us posted, I know you will!!!!

BraveGirl · 07/07/2011 20:52

AF any day now...definately no chance of BFP this month - just occasional SWI and not in the right time zone sadly.
Fingers crossed to those awaiting rings - tis a very happy moment to be remebered! I plan to surprise DH with a surprise night out tomorrow night...babysitter is booked, table awaits, but I will be driving! It might at least make up for the arrival of AF!

babybrain3 · 07/07/2011 21:29

Maybe you will be the one being surprised bravegirl if you get a bfp when you're not expecting one! Here's hoping anyway... Fx

weimy · 09/07/2011 19:26

Going to take a break girls. FX for you all I will probably lurk to see how you are doing xxxxx
