TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

[hester]

Here we go! Thread 14 for the nicest bunch of women on Mumsnet

Thread 13 was very joyful and very painful for me, but what it has shown me is that even old warhorses like me can get lucky, so there's no excuse for all you nubile young honies not to deliver the goods! Come on now, Mama Hester expects you to do your duty by your fellow ttc-ers

Get ready now, 1 - 2 - 3, GO!!!

I have just got to get some action in this week now dont i!!!

yup, can count that way, thurs would add up re what's happening with cm and would explain things - really hope this is your month - I'm a great believer in listening to your body and using other things as a guide only

So does anyone know of anything you can use to lube that wont harm the swimmers????

your dh will be pleased - at least every other day

KY Jelly should do the trick - do you get it in Oz

yeah well he is happily snoozing atm. will maybe try for a early morning quicky i maybe more relaxed iykwim. but he is leaving for work at 6am so it really will be early and a quicky so i can get back to sleep.

KY is bad for swimmers really every lube on the market is even saliva!!! read that somewhere

just as a quick note, ky is water based so shouldn't harm anything - what time is it with you just now?

suppose might alter ph.........

11:40pm should be going to bed now. I read on a thread that ky and other lubes are bad for swimmers and we have plenty of the stuff but too scared to use it now.

yeah dont really know why maybe alkaline level i think that if you have a high alkaline it actually attacks the sperm???? dont quote me on that thou have read something somewhere!!! always reading something

I thought they were bad as well tania?, have you asked in your local chemist? the pharmacist should be able to recommend a good lube.

right hang on a min, just did quick research, have link for you for sperm friendly stuff

maybe we should just try the vegetable oil trick read that somewhere too LOL

They discussed this on ttc 7, have a look at the folowing: friendly stuff

veg oil? scarey

Oooh Oooh Oooh what one?????
But starting to think that veg oil could be fun

there must be a slight delay on the line so to speak, have posted below......if uk company is no good, will try and look further for oz supplier

Right, if you google looking under: pre-seed friendly lubricant you'll chuck up some .com companys too, whic might be better for shipping etc

Will ask my gyno tomorrow and also check out the chemist to see if they sell anything like those ones. Thanks Twiga your a star you'll get me back in the sack in no time LOL

Must go to the land of nod now especially if iam to do some early morning bd
Thanks again Twiga xx
Hope everyone has a great day will try to drop in in the morning but cant promise as have ds swimming leason then to the gyno and have cleaning to do b4 the party on Wed.
Nite nite
xxxx

Glad to help lass, now go and get some sleep so you're bright and breezy for dh! Have learnt something myself too, won't be using ky again that's for sure - so thanks too, lol x

MunzieB - did you get the results of your blood tests yet? i went for mine this morning and was told it will be about 2 weeks before I get the results. am not sure if i even ovulated as my temperatures have been and and down since my initial temp hike.

Oh tooks, I am so, so sorry . It does sound like an early miscarriage; I am so sorry this has happened to you. You could just wait and let nature take its course, or you could see your GP or go straight to your local early pregnancy unit. Nothing that anyone can do about it, but it may help you to get a clearer picture of what is going on. Huge hugs to you, and we're all here if you want to talk.

Berolina, thanks so much for posting; I really appreciated it. You can crash with us anytime!

Moschops - sympathy.

Tania - yes, feeling randy and ewcm are both symptoms of ovulation, but IME it is perfectly possible to experience neither but get pg...

The thread is a bit gloomy at the moment, isn't it? I'm feeling very, very tired - not sure if it's depression, or anaemia, or just hormone crash, but I could sleep for a week... Could somebody give us good news soon, to cheer us all up? Please?

Hester, thank you, know that you know exactly how I feel. Went out and bought another test, still negative, but no more discharge really to speak of. Am just waiting now.

Don't think I will bother with the doctor, if I hadn't done the first early test I wouldn't have known any different would I? Except that I felt so pg, all the same symptoms as with my first baby.

Dh was lovely and insists we keep on trying as soon as we can! But for now, hugs will be enough
