ooo radal is fighting back!!

You should check out the Spanish goalie tonight if you have to watch the footie....he's yummy

yes the whole sickness thing sounds like rubbish doesn't it!! Ah well!!

Gyo I was reading something about a LH 'surge' but not sure it was to do with that to be honest.....

glaskham · 26/06/2008 16:27

something to do with the LH levels build up between 11am and 3pm, so that is the best time to test, but most OPK strips say anytime between 8am and 8pm is ideal for an accurate reading....

tinkisexcited · 26/06/2008 16:33

girl or boy ladies

lardybump · 26/06/2008 16:38

no no no diege Pat Cash is the cream of the tennis world (ummmmmmmm I would kick dp out of bed for him).... Simon C is just wrong on so many levels. Can you imagine him rating your performance when you had finished. Or you would be shagging him and in your mind you would be listing out for a bloody buzzer.....XX

glaskham · 26/06/2008 16:48

hahaha- LB!! thats funny.... i'd hate to be rated on my performance.... speaking of which, DH and i were talkign this mornign abotu what position is best to concieve in, which position will leave the sperm in the right place etc, anyone know if it makes any difference? (once again taking advantage of the 'no TMI' rule!!)

lardybump · 26/06/2008 16:51

Well i got pg this time on top. I know this because dp had a tummy bug and so I had to do all the work..........

Couldnt tell you how last time......

glaskham · 26/06/2008 17:01

haha... ok i wasn't intending to ask what positions you all concieved in... but hey-ho, i did ask!!

lardybump · 26/06/2008 17:08

lol

OP posts:
glaskham · 26/06/2008 17:13

well i just googled it... and the best positions are ones where gravity can help, so missionary, doggy or spooning....

woman on top, bending over and standing are supposedly less helpful positions!!

Also after ejaculation you are supposed to keep your DP/H's penis inside you for a couple of mins... and also not wipe any exess away for 20-30mins.

So DH pulls out whenever we've finished and he's enough energy to pick himself up and rool over or vise-versa (normally within 1min) and i never lie in bed with it still inside me, i go and wipe myself straight away to avoid the dreaded 'wet-patch' situation... now we've always done this and concieved the other 2 dc's.... should we honestly worry were doing things 'wrong' just becasuewe didn't get caught first cycle?

lardybump · 26/06/2008 17:17

No dont be silly glask as you are a mother of two I think that you know what you are doing........ Most people dont get caught first cycle....

OP posts:
glaskham · 26/06/2008 17:23

yeah i know.... but DH was CERTAIN we'd hit the nail on the head first time... i think he's forgetting that with the other 2 we were over 3 years younger than we are now, and i was about 3 stone lighter than i am now, his point was that i was on the pill then, but it obviously wasn't working either timefor it to happen twice!!

lardybump · 26/06/2008 17:32

I got pg straight away with dd came off pill and 30 days later got a bfp. THis time it took 4 months. THere is no rule I dont think...

OP posts:
GYo · 26/06/2008 17:34

this thread is hilarious.

i like to spend ages lying down after, despite being usually desperate for a wee (sorry tmi)

Also important for woman to ensure she climaxes after man apparently.

I love that one :-o

Diege · 26/06/2008 17:36

Nooooo LB, Pat Cash is an old stick in the mud with some odd viws on women tennis players ...ok he's lush . Can I not tempt you with Nadal (who won incidently . LOL at simon being so wrong...yes but sometimes lots of 'wrongs' can make it very 'right' .
Glaskham, man from behind is best for depth apparently, though good old missionary worked me for 4 times . Oh and strangely enough it was the times that I just jumped up and had a wee straight away that I fell pregnant
Right, dh back and getting twitchy, so best go lest he reads my sad middle age woman postings

lardybump · 26/06/2008 17:37

LOL night diege... Have a lovely evening...

OP posts:
glaskham · 26/06/2008 17:39

well me and dh normally climax together!! so i'm sure that will help us.... I suppose we've never activley ttc before now, so its a bit of a shock to the system...

we dont really know how long the pill wasn't workign in my system when we got caught with ds, GP said it was most likely because i'd been on the same pill for nearly 5 years, and sometimes after 4/5yrs on the same medication without a break some people can become a little immune to it...

with dd i never had a period so the first egg released after having ds must have been the one that was concieved with!! I was on the mini-pill but it was the one with only a 3hr window, so i most likley missed the window or something...

glaskham · 26/06/2008 17:40

night Diege... enjoy your evening!!

GYo · 26/06/2008 17:42

LOL
im going home on the train smiling now with all this talk of GOF and climax. Im sure the more the woman climaxes the better anyway

bye for now

lastboxoftampons · 26/06/2008 18:24

I read that missionary and doggie style are recommended because they allow the man to, um, deposit closest to the cervix. DH knows about missionary style and so always tries to finish that way, bless him. He also insists on grabbing my feet, putting them in the air and 'shaking it down' - which I let him do because it's hilarious, but I don't think it matters either way. I do try to lay there for about 30 minutes or so afterward, I get a towel out and ready before we start. Military operation at our house, huh?

glaskham · 26/06/2008 18:32

right i'm off to watch my beloved hollyoaks... get the kid sbathed and in bed and get tea on for when DH is home!! Night ladies!!
