September bfp bus

[Mimilicious013]

Here is hoping for big fat positives all round

Well we DTD but he pulled out again. This time I managed not to cry though.

Positive opk for the second day in a row. Hopefully ovulation in soon then the tww starts!

Oh writer that's terrible I have no words

TMI WARNING

I'm in my fertile window and trying to dtd as much as possible. If we dtd anytime other than just before sleep his sperm will leak out. There can't be any way to keep it all in can there? I can't lie in my back all day!

Writer - I feel so bad for you and your husband. I don't know what I can say to bring any comfort. I do think that maybe after your son gets through the terrible twos he might see it differently. ----

writer tonight seduce him, literally sit on him. On the sofa holding on to the back. Don't give him the chance to pull out

Hi Writer, I'm sure your OH will feel differently in time. I felt a bit like that when DD2 was 2. It's such hard work but then it gets easy again and you change your mind. It will be the same for OH.

Sorry writer

lalaland I read somewhere about someone using a mooncup or something similar to keep with sperm up there?
I have no idea how that works really TBH though.
One month i was determined to stay lying flat and went to sleep each time after. I got a terrible UTI so now I just wait for a few mins ( try and elevate a bit without seeming too obvious to DH who thinks I'm crazy) then I have to go for a pee.
I read online that lying down for 10 mins helps but that even if you have to get up straight away it's no big deal.

Yeah I had my first day of trying SMEP the other day and tried the legs behind head technique afterwards and managed to get cystitis. I've only just managed to get it under control so won't be doing that again. Apparently you should pee about 10 mins after sex if you can to stop that from happeningg

Legs behind head! Haha! I have visions of some kind of gymnastic move!
I'm now full on even more crazy than usual more determined than ever this month.
As well as my TTC vitamins I've just added evening primrose oil tablets and am currently drinking some raspberry leaf tea.

All these things' benefits are debated online but I actually at this point just think fuck it! it's worth a try!

Yeah my OH thinks it's ridiculous and it is to be honest. I've just bought some primrose oil tablets :) what is the raspberry leaf tea good for?

It's supposed to strengthen the uterine lining and lengthen luteal phase ( mines usually quite short )
It doesn't taste bad actually

Hey mrsG what's your test date? I got EPO and green tea & raspberry leaf tea, really hope it all works. Am hoping for better EWCM with all these things this month.

Ughhh ive got the strongest +ve opk I've had for the last 8 months this evening and it's just my luck that I caught a nasty stomach bug from my toddler yesterday. Can't keep anything down (both ends ) and now facing the prospect of having to Dtd and not throw up! Bloody typical. Pretty determined though, ttc #2 has been way harder than I was anticipating

Checking in, fell off the Aug bus this week and now on the tail end of AF. Also taking EPO as one of the August ladies told us about it, things are a bit dry so hoping that this helps! With regards to the sperm coming out I think that's why we need lots of CM to keep it up there and help it survive. Anyway I have a fairly regular cycle and a big penchant for POAS this month I have CB OPK's and will start testing over the bank holiday weekend fingers crossed that September is all of our months.

Thanks for your comments everyone. I've had a really sad day at work today and it's just made me think that life's too short for all this umming and aahing and that we should go for it.

I haven't told DH this yet though

I've just got in from work so I'm going to go and do an OPK....

Not the best photo due to poor focus but I think it's positive? The two lines look of equal strength to me?

Writer - yeah I'd class this as positive

Yeah I'd say positive too writer

I'd say it's positive as well writer

Well I've had a glass of wine for Dutch courage so now I have to just pounce on DH who is unsuspecting and watching the Olympics...

Certainly looks positive to me too 😁

OMG - breakthrough alert!!!

After a good, slightly tipsy, wine induced conversation, DH has agreed that we can TTC but if nothing has happened in 12 months then we stop trying.

That's a good compromise in my eyes!!

Eek!!!

Wahey!! Good to hear writer!

misstiggiwinkle sorry that you're not well! typical timing

Eva my ETD isn't until 11 or 12th Sept. When's yours?
Hoping my ov will be end of August so it's just about giving a bit of time for all these new things to work. Are you planning on stopping the EPO after ov?

Hi.
I'm 32 TTC #1. I came off the pill 12 months ago to start TTC straight away. We had a rocky 9 months due to lots of issues - DP has erectile dysfunction and avoided DTD as he was worried about not being able to perform (not that he told me his worries, I just thought he'd changed his mind). Due to the ED and his ex having a termination (he really wanted the baby), anything to do with TTC felt really awkward to talk about, to the point I was considering leaving him as I felt so rejected.
Anyway, we got stuck in a traffic jam 3 months ago and I decided to seize my opportunity and discuss it while he couldn't run away. It was a successful chat but still hasn't been easy due to DPs shift patterns as sex has to be a bit at really weird times which doesn't help the ED as I can't just not tell him when my FW is it's fairly obvious when I pounce on him as soon as I'm in from work, or when he gets home at silly o clock!
The first two months we only DTD once each time and period was late both times which was stressful although I have slightly irregular periods so may not have been technically late. First month I was convinced it worked as had symptoms but nothing. This month my FW coincided with a holiday but trying not to get my hopes up now I'm in 2ww. Also got the thought that if it didn't happen while nice and relaxed and DTD every day, it will never happen.
Sorry for the epic post!
