Just a brief rant required please.

I've been waiting desperately to ovulate after Hysteroscopy in July and temporary HRT following it sent my ovaries into hibernation. It's been stressing me out so bloody much.

Now I'm FINALLY getting signs (ewcm, stomach pains etc) and DH is on night shift and not back until 3pm tomorrow. My ewcm is so scanty and barely lasts 24 hours. I know I'm going to miss my chanceSad

I've also consoled myself with copious chocolate and crisps. Goodbye infertility friendly diet. I hope the sugar is enjoyed by my unfertilised egg!

Oh how frustrating!! When did you last dtd as the sperm does hang around for a few days so you may still be lucky!
Any chance you could drive to his workplace for a quickie in the car ?!!

3pm tomorrow still gives you time! Get yeself to boots and pick up some horribly expensive preseed in case of ewcm failure. And send him naughty pics all morning so he's not too worn out to dtd when he gets home Wink

We dtd day before yesterday, but used lube that wasn't sperm friendly. We never normally do that, but my ovaries seemed on extended holiday so I thought no harm done.

I actually considered the quickieGrin Unfortunately he works in a mental health facility so can't leave!

It's pretty much representative of our entire infertility/miscarriage/endless frustration ttc journey (oh how I hate that wordAngry)

Haha BertieBotts we aren't even speaking after an argument last night. It'll be like "I hate you, but take your pants off anywayGrin"

Luckily I have a few tubes of Yes Baby. I just don't use it unless I think there's a point because it's SO bloody pricey!

Ah well, the sperm unfriendly lube isn't the end of the world, it's a shame but it's not a contraceptive so you could have a chance.

I like the quickie idea :o

Perhaps I should start keeping a supply of his goods in the fridge for situations like this?Grin

You've got to laugh I suppose. Well, as much as you can laugh when you suffer from ovulation cramps as unpleasant as mine anywayConfused
