I'm trying to do the same when. I kind of give up after ovulation and my sex drive disappears. My DP said his boss's wife got pregnant a week after ovulation so we should keep going. I just stared at him blankly not knowing where to start with that one but we might as well carry on just in case.

fatasbutter · 31/01/2013 13:00

Well red you have more willpower than me! I would have to test at the point you're at!! But then I am a POAS addict...

RedRobin1 · 31/01/2013 13:03

thanks littlemiss I wish I could be over there on the weekend too.

when I am going to try morning sex next cycle. dr. google says testosterone is high in the morning which results in higher sperm count and better quality sperm. I guess that explains "morning wood"

DH is going for his second SA tomorrow, so will be interesting to see the result in 2 weeks time. Hope the morpho numbers improve with the supplements.

red I'm pretty sure DD was made one Sunday morning.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 31/01/2013 14:18

red my dd was the result of morning wood (shocking that resipsa's conception story is the same ). I kind of leapt on him after a sex dream, maybe these odd dreams are a good thing.

twinklestar2 · 31/01/2013 14:23

Good luck with the second SA red.

I can just about drag my arse out of bed in the morning, let alone have sex!

Cd9 here so will start the pointless shagging

resipsa · 31/01/2013 16:44

when not-secret-anymore-twin - my mum was in the spare room at the time. If yours was too, that'd be really spooky!

What website told you about the new semen-is-good-for-more-than-the-obvious info? I need to read it. DH likely to be delighted that post-O dry spell might be a thing of the past!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 31/01/2013 17:37

here

resipsa here it is. It looks quite interesting, they looked at couples going through ivf. I think they will need to do a few more studies till they can say there is a clear benefit but I'm you g to try it anyway.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 31/01/2013 17:38

Oh my mum wasn't nearby, that would have been beyond odd.

fatasbutter · 31/01/2013 18:04

So basically that article says have sex but no female orgasm which could interfere with implantation!! Happy days for the boys

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 31/01/2013 21:05

I didn't even think of it that way fatas

If I'm having sex after ov I'm damn well going to enjoy it. Plus dh is not great at performing whilst being informed of ttc details. I have to pretend I am lusting after his body let's face it we all just want the sperm

resipsa · 31/01/2013 21:40

when read it. I'm sold. Am gonna DTD without big O at least every three days for next 2 weeks. Can't hurt!

Thingymajigs · 01/02/2013 07:48

Sorry guys, you lost me after 'no female orgasm'. I'm out.
DP held his boss's baby yesterday and got very broody, well worse than normal if that's possible. Everyone at work was saying he'd be next and he had to pretend he wasn't even trying. I feel bad for him but he's always positive. I realised I have mentally separated the TTC part from the idea of a baby. I did that after 3 months of trying and also stopped looking at baby items. I imagine this will lead to an odd realisation that I'm actually having a baby when I get that BFP.
How is everyone else doing? Lots of people gearing up to dtd?

resipsa · 01/02/2013 08:25

Ha thingy reading your posts feels like reading something I wrote. Your poor DH. People just do not think (but I was one of them until we started this TTC fiasco). And if you have achieved the mental separation successfully, you'll probably be like me in pregnancy; I really didn't get the pregnant = baby connection until the end (which explains why I was already 10cms dilated when I rang the hospital - not so much denial, just disconnection).

resipsa · 01/02/2013 08:37

Any news red?

How're you doing fatas?

RedRobin1 · 01/02/2013 08:42

she's on time :(
came on this morning.

OP posts:

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 01/02/2013 09:09

Oh bollocks to it. Sorry red

fatasbutter · 01/02/2013 09:16

Ah red I'm sorry

Feeling a bit rubbish this morning. Very pessimistic but keep having flashes of optimism which make the bump back down to earth more painful stupid ttc

twinklestar2 · 01/02/2013 09:20

Oh red I'm sorry :(

:( fatas

Hugs to all who need them

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 01/02/2013 09:42

for fatas and red hope you both have someone nearby to give you both a big hug.

Thingymajigs · 01/02/2013 10:45

So sorry red. I hope you get a relaxing weekend with lots of pampering from your DH. Same to fatas too.

I do sort of feel quite disconnected from it all res but when I get that BFP everything will fall into place. I find it helpful to separate the two things so I don't get upset. I really don't want this to take over my life if I can help it. DP's excitement and positivity is infectious so it's impossible to dwell too long on the negative sides of TTC anyway.

RedRobin1 · 01/02/2013 11:22

fatas those flashes of optimism are cruel Even now when I am already spotting I am still holding out hope it might not come one fully. How stupid is my brain and mind?!

I feel better knowing and not being in limbo now. Last year, I never thought i'd be typing this but hey ho - Roll on cycle 10.

I am all out of optimism, ditching the OPKs, the temping, the constant tracking and monitoring, no pressuring DH for sex. I am just fed up of ttc.

thingy I like disconnecting pregnancy and baby too because then it doesn't become all consuming. I haven't got a clue on how to be a mum and I am not remotely interested in finding out all things post birth etc. not until I have my own baby.

My pregnant friends who are popping don't seem to understand and keep sharing every tidbit and tips of being new mums with me. I don't want to know how to raise babies just yet.... I just want them all to sod off.

Oh red I did that every month! I even had a few months when I tested even though I was bleeding as I couldn't believe with all the DDT that month that I couldn't be pg!! It drives you bananas!

fatasbutter · 01/02/2013 15:43

*ttc

RedRobin1 · 01/02/2013 17:57

How are you doing fatas? Good luck for your results tomorrow. Hope your optimism wins and wishful thinking but I hope the first scan was a mistake. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.....

I wish they had a hug icon on mn!
