Wow, so much to catch up on! CD11 for me. No sign of ov yet, but we are dtd eod. We are going through a phase of really good sex at the minute, so it feels like a lot more fun than it has recently. DH is also being really good about taking all his supplements & even keeps checking that I have had mine!
juney, I feel for you. I can understand your worry about unscreened guys, but also your desperation to just get some sperm up there! Could you speak to the guy you choose & suggest getting tested? Lots of places offer free STD tests.
I have been tested as part of the ttc process, but was pretty low risk anyway. DH has only ever slept with a couple of people & always used protection, so I know I am safe with him.
spinning I get the same thing. Smiley face, then if I poas the next day, there is just an empty circle. It does say in the instructions to stop poas after you get a positive though.
spinning/boris, I completely get how you feel. We have been through the same thing a couple of times now. I think it is inevitable when you have been trying for a long time. DH starts to feel under pressure & you start to resent that he is witholding your chance to get pg.
All I can say is keep talking. I also find it helps to have sex at other times of the month even though you can't be bothered, rather than just when you are ov.
Most importantly, try to remember that this is just a phase. You have your whole lives together & this is just a blip in the big picture.
dizzy, my cousin has a cockapoo. They are sooooo cute! I used to have a Springer Spaniel, but had to leave him when I left my ex. I loved him, he was my crazy little guard dog.
