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

Still no positive OPK for me. Have been able to test twice a day as it's the weekend but nothing :( I was sure I'd OV today/tomorrow (CD17/18) so now worried about not ovulating at all this month (despite my previous advice not to! - I never take my own advice lol!)

Koala plan underway (no honey though) - I've found a tactic of sending DP to make a brew so I can do some secret naked peddling when he's busy.

Despite my many fears still TTC. The 2ww has started today.
stats, TTC#3, cycle 2 (ish) BFP due 2nd Febrary. Thumb twiddling exercises for the next two weeks, organise fabric, clean a lot of stuff and plan our holidays within an inch of their lives (suggestions for distractions welcome).

Pebble don't worry just keep dtd! Some ladies have said they didn't get pos opk but still got bfp's so just keep at it! Haha!!! Well I have had to send DH out of the room for NUDP, it just gets too funny and distracts me from the task so he has to go for a few mins til I stop! Haha!

The orgasm post OH thing is because when you do the muscles of the vagina and cervix contract in such a way as to dip the cervix into a 'dip' in the vagina. The dip is a natural collecting point for whatever fluids are in there. So orgasm = dip dip dip, cervix is essentially a narrow tube.
Cycling your legs i guess not only tips all the fluid with gravity but also the job of 'tapping the edge' to get rid of any air in the way!
Certainly after sex with ex husband i had orgasms. ... I don't think it matters if you do during, just do it after as well?

umm, by the ex husband comment i should add that pregnancies followed these efforts (and ttc was a non thought then sigh)

Thanks seasavage for that info....im glad to read that there is a logical explanation for what I'm doing with this koala plan!! haha!!! Makes it more worthwhile to know the reasons it could work!!! And sooooo hoping it does work as it's the first cycle I've tried this!

mama31 I think the manuka is disgusting! Actually it was your earlier post saying that you could hardly keep it down that made me persevere -on the basis that we're all suffering together, which always makes me feel better! DH just stared at me in amazement when he saw me gagging over it - I can't bring myself to tell him that it's another TTC thing (he's still not really over the naked cycling) so I just said it was for general wellbeing - but he looked sceptical.

Rossby! Haha!!!! Yes I Definately feel better knowing that you are suffering as I am with the Manuka! What Cd are you on?? I must say this mornings spoon of manuka was the worst....not sure why it's getting more difficult to eat!!! and I always have normal honey on my toast but when I did this morning I gagged....i am now off honey for life!!!! This better work for us Rossby as I would hate to think we are eating this vile stuff for nothing :/

Also DH is traumatised by the NUDP!! Needs must though....he knows I'm crazy anyway!!! haha!

Ok so I was thinking this month would be it, I used an opk, we dtd lots around the right time, I got mild cramps just after ovulation which never normally happens, last week I had the mother of all colds (I read somewhere that your immune response is lowered to help implantation), and yesterday I had some brown spotting which I never normally get between periods. I was thinking all the signs are pointing towards getting my bfp next week and today AF appears ;( so now starting cycle 5. Saw my doctor a couple if weeks ago who was really nice and suspects pco so have to have an ultrasound and bloods done as it may linked to this. So after being unceremoniously kicked off the January bus this morning I haves jumped on February's.
TTC #1, cycle 5, bfp due feb 28th-ish

Hi all. Just checking in.
Took a couple of days off as could feel myself getting obsessed (already) and had a mini row with DH about it - I wanted to DtD as was a key day and he refused as he was tired and stressed from work. It doesn't help that there are a lot of older women in his office that appear to have gotten pregnant first time or fairly quickly and my arguments that we are slightly older than most and therefore don't have the luxury of time to take a relaxed we'll see what happens approach are not working with him. Oh I don't know typing that I do sound like some kind of obsessive weirdo. Maybe I do need to chill with some

Hope all is ok with everyone and those on the koala plan are persevering!

Hi all

Lovin' the nudp stories!!! We are a crazy bunch

Well I haven't managed to hold off dtd as planned!!

I'm due to ov on Sunday/Monday I think and dp doing night shifts at end if the week so not the best for dtd especially as I'm not going to tell him it's ov time!!

You could try putting the spoonful of manuka honey into a cup of ginger tea or even just a glass of boiling water with some fresh lemon juice. Its pretty nice in this miserable weather - especially if you have a cold.

Hmmm...I think it's disgusting whatever I'd do with it but I'm still gona eat it :/

Cd12 here and positive opk!! Hoorah!!:) but small dilemma now....DH and I dtd sat and sun, should I carry on Mon, tue, wed?? or skip today and do tomorrow?! Afraid of draining the spermies....but also afraid of missing the crucial time :/ gah! what to do!!! Same dilemmas every month :/ will opk again later with a clear blue (just used cheap ic opk there now) and if a smiley face appears might just have to keep up the dtd as would be afraid of missing the egg!!!!

If no smiley face on clear blue that will give me another day I think so will wait and dtd tomorrow!

Hey mama, although I think you've answered your own question I would dtd tonight if you get a solid smiley... dtd tomorrow if just flashing?

Only have 2 clear blue opks left so I'm hoping to get the answer today or tomorrow! I should do though! Thanks sazzle! Just means if I get smiley then ill have dtd sat, sun, Mon, tue, wed....doesnt give much time for replenishing spermies....

I know i sometimes worry about that although if your dh has normal sperm count i think dtd every day isn't a problem, only bad if the guy has a low sperm count or poor mobility? Has your DH had a SA?

Ha mama31 you're going to be tired! I had that a month or two ago when the stupid clear blue OPK just kept giving me flashing smileys for days on end - by the time the solid smiley appeared my poor DH just looked at me and weakly protested 'no, no...' as I approached the bed. Obvs jumped him anyway! - but I did worry about whether he was really in good enough shape. I think a day off today might be ok if it's not solid smiley. I am only on CD8 and in OWW for solid smiley before TWW starts

Just got solid smiley on clearblue opk! So dtd tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday it is!!!! DH hasn't had spermies tested (yet) so no idea if I should be worried about that or not!! Going to plough on and dtd every day then! NUDP here we go again!!!!

I'm sorry I'm not on this bus but i need my bus friends the old timers to look at this for me. I think I have a line on an IC please look and tell me....

omg omg omg omg omg

I wouldn't know cause I haven't had one myself but that looks like a bfp!!! :)

Could I please have your opinions please ladies. I'm going mad with opks but no result. I think today might be darker (cd18) than other days but not dark enough to be positive. Could you have a look at my pic?

Do you think this means I'll get a fully dark line tomorrow or am I destined not to OV this month at all? My temps dropped slightly this morning so I suppose if it goes up tomorrow that means I've OVd.

DTD yesterday and day before so not sure if we should rest for tonight or just keep going for it. I'm sure DP will get fed up soon.

Argh, this ttc lark is a pain!

Congratulations Sazzle!! Looks like a BFP to me

Nearing the end of my period. App says that expected Ov is 2nd February. When do you think should we start to dtd?

Obviously will use CB monitor, too. But I did hear that it sometimes misses it at the beginning...

Sazzle that's definitely a line! Fx for you xxx
