All ttc or expecting their BFPs welcome. Fingers crossed for a fantastically fertile February!

[MrsF2510]

For those who have jumped off the January bus. May need assistance for the wonderfully organised ladies who are so brilliant at keeping the stats up to date!

So to start the engine MrsF2510 ttc #1 cycle 2 BFP due 1st Feb x

We'll countdown with you, Nordicmom!

In tears here as I heard my 3yo DS asking god to send him a baby sister at bedtime tonight. I just don't know what to do with myself!

For Nordic. Don't give up hope, my cousin and his wife have just had their 3rd at 40. Their DS1 was IVF but they went on to have 2 more, naturally. And I myself went through my pg with a chronic illness and we both came out the other end ok. Got everything crossed for you x

How can you cross a ginger, urterriblemuriel?

We will start did this weekend, all of next week and probably the week thereafter. Not sure how DH will feel the week after. I remember the time where I told him it was time to do it again…

… and he pivoted on the spot like a ballerina, letting out a whimpering noise like a dog. I still laugh about it now, although it was terribly annoying then.

How do you guys convince your DHs to dtd?!??!?!?

Any advice appreciated.

Haha! Crossed Gingers!! Welcome uterriblemuriel!!

poly that so sweet yet so heartbreaking at the same time. U must feel helpless. Dont worry, he'll get to be a big brother, stay strong.

Snowbells as far as we're concerned dh has a job to do! ha! We both want it and I cant do it on my own, so he's willing to dtd when ever i say we need to. Although I long for the days on spontaneous sex thats not all about baby making.

do you guys convince your DHs to dtd?!??!?!?

It's all about the foreplay

Well, I hope DH will be back from work earlier next week - he's still not home (I know he has a lot on his plate at the moment). Might book 'appointments' in his Outlook calendar… grrrr….

Kitty I thought men thought foreplay is overrated???

You ladies have made me laugh tonight. I was hoping to dtd tonight but my DH's 5-a-side team obviously had more allure than I did! He's obviously going to be too tired when he gets home and he's working till 2am the next 2 nights too! Followed by 2 night shifts!!

My dp doesn't need convincing...I just make.my move if he's not showing any signs of making one!

Did I tell you after our 3 times in a day dtd-athon last week that he burst a blood vesselmin his eye?!

Just trying to catch up as I've been busy at work!
Loving the persuading DH topic. Mine needs no persuading...
Haha mum2kiss your poor DH!!!

Just had a very frank discussion with DH about prime DTD time and he says he'd rather he knows so he doesn't get into trouble. (Don't I sound awful). But he says he's happy to "do it anytime". We'll see how that works out.

Slow start to this month 's fertile period. DH on lates and I was working until 10 on Wednesday and did a double gym session yesterday! Still, the weekend is upon us. So here's hoping!

Your poor DP mum2kiss. Trying to DTD 3 times a week, let alone a day, is a challenge for us, how do you get time?! X

Oh Nordic.... You've really been through it! Feel free to come and offload anytime you want. We're all here for the ups and downs. Really hope you get a sticky bfp soon

On the subject of dtd my dp just will not perform if he's not in the mood!! And he doesn't like me to try and get him in the mood....iykwim I've tried everything and he just gets cross with me!!!! It makes it really hard just hoping that he'll be up for it!! Think I might purchase some new underwear tomorrow and hope that works!!!

Hi can I join in please? After getting a few BFP this week, with Ttc #4 on cycle 1 I'm bleeding. Not my first loss, so once I'm sorted we are going to try again. I'm always very fertile the cycle after, so fingers crossed for a BFP on the 20th February!
Polythene girl, my daughter asked for the same thing as her New Year's Eve wish. Heart breaking... But coincided with mine and dps plans to try for one this year.

Ahhhh Penguin I'm so sorry! It sucks doesnt it! I started bleeding 11 days after my bfp last month. Feel free to rant and moan when ever you like. There's a nice bunch here! Hoping for a more positive ttc journey for you now.

Checking in to say hello – this thread moves fast!
Penguin – I am sorry to read that. Heres hoping for a good Feb for you.

I think im into my 2ww, not holding out any hope for this month as we just didn’t DTD enough what with DH working away and doing very very long hours. He’s been utterly exhausted and I feel then that I cant pester him to DTD on top of that too,
Its actually worrying me a bit as looking at his timetable for the next 2 months its pretty horrendous so not quite sure when we will be able to DTD at the right time! I don’t want to put pressure on him as work is so crazy but equally Im no spring chicken and don’t feel like we have the luxury of potentially just taking our time and seeing what happens. Oh its so complicated isnt it! All that time spent worrying about getting pregnant and it turns out its not so simple after all! ?

I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot, I WILL NOT SYMPTOM SPOT!!!!

So sorry to read that penguin...my biggest fear in this whole ttc thing is that my bean won't stick! I had an mc 15 years ago and it's still a huge worry for me

Haha dp just told me he was feeling fruity when he got into bed at 3am after his night shift!!!! I said he should have woken me up which he found very funny really keen to get as much dtd as possible for the next few days but don't want to tell him it's the right time!!

Hello! Can I join please?

Am TTC#2 Cycle 1 BFP Due 10th Feb (ish)

Took 3 cycles with DD but hoping it's quicker this time as I'm so impatient (the 2ww will kill me)! Temped last time but not getting enough uninterrupted sleep to rely on it so just using the new CB opk's and am on the flashing smiley and hoping for a fixed one over the weekend and have put DH on standby for lots of action

Am looking forward to seeing lots of BFP's - this feels like a lucky bus!

Thanks for the kind words poly and spinning . So sorry for your loss penguin!!!! It's not easy :(...
Feel so old and creaky , my hips hurt ( because of my ilness ) just from the few dtd . When we first met 13y ago and didn't see each other for a week we once dtd 5 times in 24h;)! I don't know what got over me , I guess I really missed him.
Now don't have to persuade DH either he's always after me but both of us are dead tired in the evenings so had to forget about the smep and just had a few well timed ones . Used to have to literally do it once or twice at most around ov and bam pregnant every time but then a misscarriage . Now so far no result for two cycles am worried nothing will work . I do wonder if I could hold it in if we end up doing IVF . I never tried it on myself after the misscarriages and getting sick from the steroids , we then went straight for gestational surrogacy and did IVF twice for that . No spare eggs or emb so will have to do it all again possibly and don't know if I'd even produce enough this time since only a few both cycles and it was years ago... God my mind is racing . Should be having a nap while dd is before soon getting DS but can't relax . I'm in agony since spent the whole morning cleaning top floor were its always messy after DH and DS if I don't go there to tidy . Well at least it's done now for a while .

CB monitor showed the first 'high' this morning on CD 9 - which is early for me - so I might as well start tonight. Please pray to the Fertility Gods for a fabulously fertile January/February.

Amen!

genni I'm into my 2ww too. But I'm not feeling optimistic either. I've been thwarted by DH being ill, DS teething and a run of night shifts.
