TMI op Grin

Sallygoroundthemoon · 04/01/2019 17:31

Trying to conceive, ovulating, asking for advice? Um...have sex? I don't know what BFN is.

SilverDoe · 04/01/2019 17:33

Erm, the only way to help things along is to get to it!!

Try to listen to your body. I felt the elusive “pop” when I was trying to conceive DC2 and jumped on DP. Was pregnant that month. Also google SMEP (might want to add ttc for context), this apparently can help too.

I'm Pickachew. Nice to meet you, Ovulating. Maybe your mum should have visited the baby names board.

kaytee87 · 04/01/2019 17:35

You should post on the conception board op. Lots of people in the same situation.

Bezalelle · 04/01/2019 17:45

Climb on! Job done.

SKDDD19 · 04/01/2019 18:02

I know it seems silly asking for 'advise' on what seems such an obvious topic and answer but broody and eager make for desperate posts 😂 we will be 'getting to it' but with such a short window of opportunity and after having the coil removed merely 2 months ago I think I was hoping for a miracle answer of 'to get pregnant right now simply do this.....' 😂😂 thanks to those who humour me 🙈 x

Does it make a difference if the woman orgasms? Blush

kaytee87 · 04/01/2019 18:11

I'm ovulating tomorrow I think op. We're ttc too, just started this month. I use conceive plus which is meant to help the swimmers but I think generally it's just lots of sex that's best.
Check out conception board, lots of chat there.

AnneLovesGilbert · 04/01/2019 18:12

Can only help toolazy and after he has!

BifsWif · 04/01/2019 18:12

I think it’s better to do the deed just before ovulation and the day of ovulation?

Conception board is the place to find the answer.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 04/01/2019 18:15

If you've already had 2 days of positive tests but not had sex yet then you have probably missed you're window of opportunity.

kaytee87 · 04/01/2019 18:35

Yes you're best having sex regularly through out the month but especially in the days leading up to and the day of ovulation.

ALemonyPea · 04/01/2019 18:43

There is a pregnancy/conception board, you're probably best asking there.

SKDDD19 · 04/01/2019 19:46

Thank you all, I have no idea where or how to post.. I stumbled upon the option to write this post! Thank you @kaytee87, we are also taking multivitamins designed for couples trying to conceive. Without TMI we are very active in that department so we have been at it during the fertile window, just eager after doing it in the fertile window last month and getting negative tests last month! I guess I'm going to just have to be patient and wait for a test In a couple weeks! Thanks all xx

Op I've reported your thread and asked mn to move it to conception for you Smile

LilyMumsnet · 04/01/2019 20:24

We'll move it over now. Flowers

Ok what I want to know silverdoe is what on Earth is the elusive ‘pop’?????

I have never heard of this being a thing before, when around ovulation is it supposed to happen?

SilverDoe · 06/01/2019 10:26

blablaa some women say they can feel ovulation happening, as the, what the hell is it? The Corpus Luteum? Anyway something bursts to release the egg and after a few months tracking my cycles and trying to pinpoint my ovulation, after reading this online I was looking out for any “pops” and did feel one on my right side. Immediately DTD and DS was conceived that month - however whether it actually was the egg releasing or whatever its supposed to be is a mystery!

NoWordForFluffy · 06/01/2019 11:50

I've only felt ovulation once, though I have ovulation pains as standard, but only the 'pop' once. I didn't get a BFP that month though.

And yes, WAY better to DTD in the few days leading up to OV than wait until it's happened as a) the egg only lasts for around 24 hours and b) sperm takes 10 hours to 'acclimatise' before it's able to penetrate the egg (capacitation). So you're at real risk of getting the timings wrong if you wait.

YepImafraidIchangeditagain · 06/01/2019 12:00

Does it make a difference if the woman orgasms?

🤔

SKDDD19 · 06/01/2019 14:28

@nowordforfluffy that's reassuring me , we have been doing it the 5 days leading up and yesterday which I believe was my ovulation day so perhaps yesterday wasnt essential but hopefully there was plenty there ready and waiting for the egg!

It's all so exciting! I got through so many tests last month as I just don't have the self control to wait until AF is due! I need a hobbie!! X

SKDDD19 · 06/01/2019 14:31

@yepimafraidichangeditagain I read that if a woman orgasm's about a minute before the man ejaculates, your muscles contract more to hold it in?! I did feel on a couple occasions it didnt come out (TMI 😂) so easily if I have 'enjoyed myself'! X

OP posts:
NoWordForFluffy · 06/01/2019 14:33

I've been pregnant twice and have never DTD on the day of a positive OPK for one reason or another, so I got pregnant both times from doing it during my fertile week and having sperm ready and waiting!
