I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

Hi Duchesse, How are you?

I just looked at the link you posted, what a story. Had a look at the rest of the site too, as i was a bit perplexed. She is quite a character, in a weird TMI kinda way
BLOGS really are diaries arn't they???

Lissie - how are you feeling today?

Hi all. I have been lurking but have been too down to whinge on about myself and couldn't think of anything to say to anyone else either. Being 4 days late last month, convincing myself I was (even though we hadn't had sex at exactly the right times), just really knocked me for six. When will I learn.

Really sorry to hear MrsMcJnr's news .

I am having similar problems to Seaside and LL - I have stopped using CB monitor to try and alleviate Mr Crypto's performance anxiety but it doesn't seem to help much. He was 'just too tired' this month for every one of the ovulation window days despite him suggesting that we have sex at least every other day from CD6 to CD16 to try and avoid putting pressure on certain days. And then he wonders why I am feeling down, I just don't know how else to explain to him how much this affects me.

My bloody get pregnant by sneezing sister was asking whether we had plans for having a baby at the weekend. And my pregnant friend (who knows my situation) was moaning the other day about how she was finding her pregnancy 'freaky' and not enjoying it at all. AARRRGH.

not too hot beansprout. period is a monster. hate my fecking rubbish body. why is it that when someone asks if you ahve any plans for more kids and you say "we'll see" they tell you how fab it is to have a litter and how good it is for your kids

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Oh Crypto - join the club - we can wait it out together - I haven't got a snowballs chance in hell of being pg this month due to no BD from CD11-16 (Ov CD13).

My DH said excatly the same thing this month - was really enthusiastic about trying loads - even wanted to try it twice a day on day before OV And we did try but no success
Am completely at a loss about what to say to him/how to deal with it next month?

I know its not much help - but I totally sympathise - I think we need to set a support group (literally ) for them!!

Oh dear Seaside, it's a nightmare. I really don't know what to suggest either - it's one of those horrible situations where the harder you try (no pun intended ), the worse it gets.

A support group is a good idea except if Mr Crypto knew that I was posting intimate details about our sex life on an internet forum he would probably never have sex with me again!

LOL - IKWYM Cyrpto - mine would prob be the same - although he has agreed to go to the GP next week and discuss on his own. But I am really worried that with men it is mostly pschological and apart from hypnotherapy can't think how to get over it as talkng aout it just seem to make it all worse?

oops psychological

It will be interesting what the GP says - hopefully he will be understanding as it must be a very difficult thing to admit to/talk about. The first time it happened with us I had the whole 'are you sure you want babies, is this a subconsious way of saying you don't etc' conversation and he assured me it wasn't that. For us, stopping using the CB monitor has helped as now its just a general period of a week or so, and I don't ovulate regularly on the same day, we never know exactly when the right time is (although I am not sure if this whole 'I am tired' thing is another manifestation of the same problem). As if we don't have enough crap to deal with about this whole FTC lark without this on top of it! You have my wholehearted sympathies.

Just to add, its the whole knowing that you have to wait another six weeks before you can even possibly get a positive that really does my head in - the lack of hope is so depressing.

Just wondering, would it be easier to just get these poor stressed/tired/intimidated men to just do it themselves into a pot? All you need is the sperm! They could do this at their leisure, whenever they decide, without all that pesky interaction business. Or perhaps the threat of getting them to do this might make them get on with the job!

LOL, that's a good suggestion Impatience. How would one go about getting the necessary tools to inseminate? Do you have to store it in the freezer or something? (please forgive my ignorance!)

You have 2 hours to get it into you, so you could even go for a pint while you wait for your summons via text! A 10ml syringe is the best implement: ask a pharmacist for one, or NHS walk-in centre. Or go online. Very cheap. Put it right up close to the cervix then lie with a pillow under your bum, as you might anyway. Obviously it hasn't worked for me yet, but I'm the freak rather than the norm!

Impatience..,I really think you are on to something... How long can you keep sperm prior to using it? Do you think by inseminating it you could get it further up than some men can when they are doing their half hearted effort..how often can you ejaculate before you lower sperm quality?

Thanks

Yikes! No, don't use a needle!

2hrs, Rahrah. Haven't seen you around for a while. How are you?

There's mixed info on reduced quality. As for getting it further up, it's been a very long time since I was involved in half-arsed or raging enthusiastic sex with a man so I couldn't possibly comment!

LOL hut of doom buddies - don't think this has not crossed my mind already !!!
Unfortunately dont think it would work for us as mostly DH just cant get the end result regardless of my presence or not - its like his 2nd brain just knows when the days are and freaks out IYSWIM!!!

seaside- how about a luvverrrr? Next best option.. ahem

Seaside, can you start lying about where you are in your cycle? When you're coming up to ovulation, how about leaving tampon boxes around, then a few days later say 'Well, I'm not pregnant. How about we get a few quick ones in before the pressure builds next week?' Would he fall for it?
