Dancing around sprinkling babydust EVERYWHERE!

Ladylou83 · 17/08/2009 13:32

This thread is really good for being fast paced.

I've just had a conversation with DH on the shagging subject. Have asked him to read up on womens cycles so that he can see that although its nice to be relaxed about these things, somedays he does need to put out

Bettymamma · 17/08/2009 13:55

Manperiod . I'm feeling sane as well thanks to you lot!

Tobago04 i did think that with your long cycle - Anyway - April, May - it doesn't matter. All we want is BFP's

Bettymamma · 17/08/2009 13:56

ooppss missed these postings somehow. 'he needs to put out'. Love it. I normally get that from my dh.

shesadiamond · 17/08/2009 14:11

hi everyone!
its me, insane symptom spotter. Am due anytime from today (have previously had a few random 24 day cycles) but apart from feeling like i've swallowed a beach ball no other symptoms to report. I'm doomed to fail aren't I? Please cross your fingers for me x

sweetkitty · 17/08/2009 14:21

Welcome all the newbies and [sa]d for Spirael and anyone else at the back of the bus

Officially 2WW for me now, had sex last night just in case as I get a positive on the OPKs CD15 yesterday was CD16.

Bit emotional and all over the place today, DD1 started school this morning, she was great I was a sobbing mess. Said to DP that next year when DD2 goes we might have 2yo DD3 adn a newborn too, are we utterly insane? probably Having 3 in 4 years I don't want a gap to number 4 and I am not getting any younger, I know number 4 is my last baby ever.

Medee · 17/08/2009 15:46

OPK negative today.

tobago04 · 17/08/2009 17:30

Yeah meddee i had a look at a due date calculator after what you said,if my cycle was 28 days it would be April and if going by 37 day cycle it would be May,how confusing is that going to be if i get BFP,should'nt really be tempting fate should i? sorry you got a negative
Welcome to the newbies,sorry to hear about your mcs bubbalewy

tobago04 · 17/08/2009 17:31

Sorry spelt your name wrong

Ladylou83 · 17/08/2009 17:42

Have come to conclusion: I dont need sex to get PG, I have a Turkey Baster. DH can give me juice in a pot and I'll just slowly feed them in....

MrsRigby how did u get on at docs?

sweetkitty · 17/08/2009 17:44

The thing is the MWs do not take cycle length into consideration whatsoever, they just want to know date of last period and are you regular and they still work out your due date on their little wheel thing based on a 28 day cycle.

NancyPreg · 17/08/2009 18:38

I guess dating scans can provide more concrete information but if you've had mcs, then such scans can also be lethal if you don't really know your cycle cos if you think you are 6+3 and a scan says you are 5+5 then agghrr, when really, the difference might simply be down to a late ovulation.

Ladylou what would be really good would be to collect sperm, store it merrily (and alive) in a little pot, put it into the fridge with a use-by date of a couple of weeks and then harvest when needed

OP posts:
NancyPreg · 17/08/2009 18:48

...I mean, you could still bonk in the regular way but the pressure would be off and it wouldn't matter if DH/DP wasn't up for it/was away during the crucial and critical window of opportunity!

OP posts:
Ladylou83 · 17/08/2009 20:11

Ive told him: Tonight, Its on! ha ha. Seems ok with it now. Will have to wait till its time to go upstairs and see how he reacts. And he normally moans at me for not being interested, tut tut!

(ladylou runs to kitchen to find sterile pot to impliment Nancypreg's smashing idea)

WickedWitchSouthWest · 17/08/2009 20:50

evening ladies!

cor, what a busy bus! We just need some bfp's to speed us all along a bit now I realised today that I could technically wee on a stick this time next week...oo how exciting! I'm 7dpo today and swollen like a balloon but that's probably more to do with a very unhealthy couple of days in the champagne / wine / pastries way than anything else

Hi Aideesmum - looks like we're cycle buddies Good luck!

Bettymama, you are good not ss'ing! But your maths sounds fine to me. I worked out if I ov'd early then any edd would be 3 May - my chuffing 30th birthday aaargh

Ladylou, bit of training for your dh i think. Also man period sounds pretty viable, my dh gets those occasionally. Nancypregs idea is very good tho - wonder how I could convince dh to do that??

Ladylou83 · 17/08/2009 20:56

ooooohhhhh Champagne......might have to go have some now you've mentioned it. That should get him in the mood nicely.

Do you think there is a training camp I can send DH too?

tobago04 · 17/08/2009 20:58

Yes sweetkitty,i did'nt get positives til about cd 35 with last two so you would think my cycles were longer or i ovulate later than text book, but they both arrived early,weird!
Good luck Ladylou
Hope your ok mrsrigby

HellsNB · 17/08/2009 20:58

Evening all

Blimey, I'm nearly at the front of the bus!

This is my first month of temping and charting... according to Fertility Friend I have ovulated so now officially on the 2 week wait!

Fingers crossed there are some more + results soon

P.S. Snowbunny1, my period is always only three days and I have a long cycle

liahgen · 17/08/2009 21:08

hi all,

Have been away for a while, the first week is always depressing

Can someone please adjust my stats as they're slightly out

Liahgen TTC#6 Cycle 7 UCL26 CD8

TIA

Am away from dh this week so am hoping Wednesday onwards will be good for us,

Good luck to all.

MrsRigby · 17/08/2009 21:21

Evening everyone

Went to the doctors this afternoon and I've not got cancer . He say's it's just a sebaceous cyst. I'm tempted to squeeze it a bit harder, but he's given me medication so I'll try that first.

Thank you so much for your support, I feel like such a muppet . Well I guess I was at least prepared for the worst possible outcome. Thank you.

spirael and sayanything fingers crossed for next time.

ladylou83 and sky27 DH is exactely the same, agrees to sex and then when the time comes gives me excuses why he can't . I mentioned to the doctor that were TTC, he told us that the cyst shouldn't stop us trying to which DH moaned. The doctor gave him a bit of a telling off and pointed out that unless DH and I had sex regulary that TTC would be difficult .

Welcome lizzie9442, sweetpeasmummy, aideesmum and bubbalewy fingers are crossed for you. Good luck.

immaterialgirl freaky, but useful if it works. I breath on DH, but all he tells me is that my breath stinks, he's not that specific. Ask him to lick you clitoris/vagina, he might get a more reliable answer. Don't mind me, I can't remember the last time DH went down on me . I may not like sex, but I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve oral!

I agree with bettymamma ladylou83, DH and I never thought we'd make it to our second anniversary things were that bad. We're about to celebrate our third and things are much better.

liahgen I'm so jealous of you TTC#6. DH will only allow me #3 , (I'll have to jump on him whilst he's asleep - either that or tie him up and gag him (I never thought about bondage before).

I'm being rather naughty at the moment and working my way through a box of AfterEight's.

I'm sure I'm pregnant, the past couple of days I've had some sort of wierd feeling down there and lower abdominal cramping. Today just standing up is making my back ache and my right ribs are uncomfortable (I'm blaiming DH for that last symptom).

Surely with the amount of us TTC this month, there will be more graduates to join gargula ?

At this rate I'm going to break DH penis. Which reminds me...DH and I are going to have sex tonight and I'm not accepting any excuses!!!

mampam · 17/08/2009 22:21

OMG! You lot are wearing me out just thinking about how much sex you are all having! I must admit now that I've awoken DH's inner bonkingness I'm actually bloody knackered. We've been at it now every other day (sometimes more) since I was almost at the end of AF . I think I ovulated Fri/Sat so am passed it now but am a little apprehensive to give up the nookie 'just in case'. I need a rest!!!!

MrsRigby I'm glad you're ok. You're a much more patient woman than I. I wouldn't wait for the medicine to work I'd have to squeeze it until it popped no matter how much it hurt [mampam hiding in shame at showing her saddistic side!!]

WickedWitchSouthWest · 17/08/2009 22:22

hiya MrsRigby pheeeeeew! glad to hear it's nothing to worry about, lol at dh's reaction - ha! On a different note, I'm not dead keen on oral but i let him last night and he appears to have learnt some new tricks. Best not enquire as to where, eh? Your symptoms sounds good, hope you've caught that eggy! Don't break his penis! He won't be very useful without that!

ladylou i need to find out which label champagne it was coz I had no hangover! I'm not normally a fizzy drinker but I was celebrating being made a godmother (yes, insert hysterical laughter here, everyone else does ) and I'm pleasantly surprised at lack of banging head this morning.

snowbunny i forgot earlier - I only ever have a three dayer, sometimes only 2 and my cycle ranges 29 - 32 days.

UmBongo · 17/08/2009 22:30

Well done for the all clear from the docs MrsR I like that the doc had to tell your dh that regular sex is important! Good luck for tonight - I am going to have to wait for my dh to emerge from his shed (again) this evening, and hope that it is not too late so he is too tired! (Or I have already given up and gone to sleep )

memorylapse · 17/08/2009 23:00
