TTC first baby

[cwtching]

Hello all! DH and I are TTC our first baby, I'm 31, he's 32. We've only been trying for a month so it is extremely early days but I'm so excited at the prospect.

DH may have some fertility issues (picked up on a scan) but I was pretty convinced it was going to be a BFP straight away as I had so many symptoms - but that shows how much I know!

Is anyone else TTC their first baby? Please join and keep me company!!

Kicking you made me laugh ..... :o

sounds promising pinkie....don't think it would be unreasonable for you to be a teeny bit hopeful this month.....with an overtone of sensibleness of course :o

Fingers crossed Pinkie. You would have caught it if you just humped like bunnies as well.

We've been good at DTD - tonight is another one :D

OOOOH I read that statistically, a couple DTD 104 time before they conceive

104 times? I have to tell DH he needs to up his game.....

I know!! I mean - I wish they told us that first. We could start a counter

Only 96 times to go! Lol

104?! Christ! Need to up our game!! We weren't at it like rabbits sadly we dtd 4 days before ov but cause I assumed I wouldn't ov until around day 28 I didn't do the winkle or anything, day before ov we dtd but I had a meltdown and had to stop then day I got my positive ov we dtd with conceive plus winkled then put an instead cup in and erm winkled for another forth minutes or so, too scared to get hopeful but have said to dp not too fussed this month as just glad I now hopefully have a normal cycle length thanks to vitex!

I think it draws that parallel to "humping like rabbits" will do it.

At our current humpage pace, we should likely fall pregnant in 9 - 10 months.

That's this month or next month

104 times?! Noooo!! It'll take forever! Although I have now finished my stupid late shifts so plan on dtd as much as poss for the next week at least - DH will be delighted

My H2B will be over the moon at this! Now I just have to find the energy :-)

Me too nicola - work has been so busy this week, I'm knackered!! HAVE to dtd tonight though!

Sure we will cope. Just!!

Saturday for me now...so excited (about a baby, not DTD generally!).

haha nicola my DH also thinks that I'm genuinely excited about getting to dtd more than usual

Obviously its nice but the thought we could be making a baby is always in the back of my mind

:-)

Funny, isn't it? Bless them!

I just had an image of a sperm bubble exploding out in the atmosphere over the UK.

We're DTD tonight too!

Before ttc we dtd on average 3 times a week do nothing's really changed but now it's swi it seems harder to make the effort and find the time? Plus dp works most weekends 10/12hr shifts do I feel lime a sex pest at times

We're active. I think we go through like...7 days where we can just go at it once or twice a day but then we stop the rest of the month...

We're the same, when we weren't ttc we used to go through spells where we'd be at it constantly then other times we could go quite a while in between. Its definitely difficult to find the time to make sure we're dtd regularly to make sure we have the best chance plus all romance has definitely gone out of the window

I think we are so concerned that we're doing it for a baby. But realistically speaking, we doing it just as we would normally. But we want something out of it as well.

I think we just need to remember that we love them regardless and we are expressing our love in the best way. Because instead of thinking of it mechanically, think of it like not only are you DTD but you're doing it knowing that you may produce a baby. The ultimate expression of love for each other.

I think if you think of it like that, it makes it exciting. I love DTD - no matter how much we plan for it and plot it and put an "x" over the day. It's still that time that I get to spend with my DH. And we go to bed earlier and we get to spend time together.

It's awesome :D

kicking your image of a giant sperm bubble exploding just put me right off my lunch....thanks for that :o

We also go through phases of being more/less active. Since we've only very recently decided to TTC I've been trying really hard to keep things natural so as not to freak DH out by jumping him every 5 mins. Unfortunately through one thing and another that has meant it's been almost a week since we dtd and I'm getting to the point where I want to jump him anyway, but now I'm worried he'll think I'm just after a baby!

Sigh.

He'll love it. Just jump him. Every now and then (when the house is tidy and the dishes are done and the dish washer is emptied), I tell him how much I love him and appreciate them. That gets 'em going.

He won't think that you only want him for the baby.

And if he does, tell him he needs to up that sex-drive a bit if that's what he thinks! Once a week wouldn't get a mouse pregnant

haha i said something along those lines to him this morning actually when I commented about feeling bloated today and he said ooh maybe you're pregnant.....

Fine, so tonight I shall try the flattery approach and see if I can get me some ;o

I disappointed H2B on Tuesday as I'd propositioned him by text on the way home from work...and then ERTD showed up a day early. He was gutted!!

3 times a week for us too really...too tired during the working week, but try to do it once!

Hi. Wondered if you had tried reflexology, a couple of my friends have with success. it could help deal with your stress levels if nothing else and hopefully more!!

If you want to be sure you find a properly qualified reflexologist I have used the Association of Reflexologist ? www.aor.org.uk ? they have a ?find a reflexologist? search so you can find someone near you that you can be sure is properly trained.

Can implantation happen 14 dpo?
