Anyone else want a more relaxing way to get upduffed?

[NeuroticSweetTalk]

This is probably going to bomb since it goes against everything I've experienced so far on Mumsnet but I figured I'd try anyway! :)

I don't know about anyone else but before I came on here I thought getting pregnant was easy... You find someone you want to have kids with, you talk about it and talk about it, your DP/DH realises there's no way you're backing down and actually it's a fu*king fantastic idea, he makes his deposit and congrats! You're a mummy... But no since joining I've realised it's all BBT, OPKs, EWCM and cervical positioning for better chances of reproduction (before I was under the impression it was good enough to just know I had a cervix and the job is a good 'un...)

I honestly admire everyone I've encountered in here since joining for being so incredibly positive even though they've been TTC for months and every symptom they have in the 2ww presents itself as a very possible pregnancy symptom. And the POAS, everytime I got a BFN (A total of 6 times) it devastated me. I honestly don't know how you ladies do it but you deserve a Nobel in patience, calmness and positivity, seriously.

So I have chosen to have a more laid back approach to TTC with no crazy symptom spotting, no counting down the 2ww, no window shopping on the mothercare website.. Just DTD when AF isn't visiting (maybe that'll have to be planned since I don't want to wear my poor DP out!)

I'll start it's my second month of trying and is probably not my month and that's okay, I've decided this month it just isn't meant to be so I gave up the obsessively TTCing at around the time I ovulated and I've slept better more recently than I have in a while :D it'll happen when it happens.

Hopefully this is understandable and not too long :)

I was perfectly understandable and not too long at all.
I just D.T.D and hope for the best. It's a bit pointless for me to use O.PK'S as me and d.P don't live together and we both work unmatched patterns. I see him Wed and he stays over on a friday. If we can manage some sexytime in between we do for example I had a few hours to myself on Sunday afternoon as my D.D went out with her friend so I text D.p to come over and we D.T.D then for a few hours. I didn't want to miss the opportunity. It didn't work though as A.F got me yesterday. xx

Come and join us on the 'just shagging' thread. We're all trying to take exavtly that approach akso sometimes slip into using contraband opks and symtom spotting.

With the risk of sounding like a prude which believe me I am certainly not. I.M.O sh**ing is a horrible word for something so special which can create a new life. xxx

Sorry to hear AF got you Life I kinda understand that situation though. My DP and I do live together but we each work 11+ hours a day on different shifts some of the time so we're usually too worn out to do anything when we're home. I think there are worse words though (Like boning, that one really annoys me lol because it's so childish) :)

I think I will have a wander over to that thread Wagga hopefully not too much to catch up on! :)
