Using a turkey baster.....

[user1496861967]

Hello I'm new to the forum I've got a few questions and hope you lovely ladies can help. I've got polycystic ovaries, which among other things can make it harder for me to conceive. I'm 28 share house with my partner, have removed implant and I'm sort of seeing what happens. Because I'm worried I'm keen to be pregnant quickly, worried about my condition and having to try for years ect. I'm thinking of out the box methods and wondering if anyone had any good stories about using turkey baster? Also regarding lifestyle, I enjoy glass of wine, do I need to stop completely? All opinions welcome.

Assuming you aren't joking............

Why on earth if you live with partner, wouldn't you just do the regular thing that gets people pregnant....????

I would ask about conception on the conception boards OP. As the previous poster said, if you live with your partner, theres nothing stopping you from having sex. Track your ovulation

Thanks for your messages, I wanted advice as there's only few days you can get pregnant, read lots of articles about using that method being successful, taking the pressure of having to have sex at just those times. My partners a joiner and is tired lot of the time. (He'd be massively embarrassed about this)

oh and if the thread needs moving please do so, as I said I'm new and not used to navigating this forum.

Thanks.

If he's tired now wait till you have a baby

Even if he is tired he still has toget it up and fill the turkey baster so he may as well do it directly into you!

Blimey, if hes too tired for sex, god help him with 2 hourly night feeds!

Just start having sex more and then if it doesn't work for a few months start tracking ovulation.
I think one of the worst things people women do is put too much pressure on themselves in the early stages. I did the whole ovulation tracking thing from the get go and it was the month we went on holiday and I completely forgot about it when we actually conceived.

Agree best to relax but.....also impatient here. I got pregnant month 1 just tracking periods on app to see rough fertile period (sadly early MC). Then pregnant in month 3,using clear blue digital ovulation sticks. They give you flashy smiley face when fertile and static smiley when at optimal fertility. Due in 4 months now 🤞. Good luck. Oh and no need to stop occasional glass of wine - in fact if helps you to relax (as opposed to getting pissed) then it's beneficial start taking folic acid whilst trying (and up to til 12 week mark) so if get pregnant you've optimised baby's spinal growth etc.

Thanks everyone, yeah he's tired from work. Think we've put pressure on ourselves but know it's mostly me. Lol hope he will manage he's 27 but he's moving into a more senior role so that won't take its toll as much. Anyone who has a partner in construction knows how dog tired they can be. We have a holiday in July but it's with his parents. So doubt much baby making time lol.

Haha. My holiday was with my parents. Believe me, we made time

"oh and if the thread needs moving please do so, as I said I'm new and not used to navigating this forum"

Yes, this is about conceiving, so it would be better in the "conception" topic (more likely that posters with relevant experience/knowledge would spot it there)

If you report your post, you can ask MNHQ to move it

You don't need to have loads of sex to fall pregnant - you could do it just the once in the fertile period and voila!!

My advice would be track your cycle, perhaps buy some cheap ovulation sticks and get some sperm friendly lube. Think the one we used was called Conceive Plus or something. Helps the sperm travel and live longer apparently!

Good luck, put the turkey baster away till Xmas, relax and have fun!!

Hi! Omg completely forgot I even posted this all that time ago! Update that partner and me separated, he got his ex before me pregnant and is currently dating one of my best friends...all that really hurt to find out but means nothing to me now as I am pregnant. It’s not the fairy tale I hoped for, actually got two potentional dads, everyone’s been grown up and I’ve explained everything. I never went on contraception thinking I might need the help and you have to be trying for so long ect. Im seeing one of the potentional fathers but I’m doubting it’s his. Im sick day and night, I thought I’d have a Disney end but I’ve got the Jeremy Kyle version. Any advice or wisdom welcome. Hope you’re all well. X

I would just learn about your cycles and aim to have sex on your fertile days. Honestly, when we were ttc we only had sex 2-3 times a month but just prior to ovulation. My dh is self employed in a very physical industry so is exhausted at the end of the day too. On top of that, the last two times I was commuting 6 hours a day to my office, leaving at 5am and not getting back home til evening (and then putting a 4 year old to bed firs!). We managed! But the critical thing is figuring out your cycles and once you’ve done that, it makes it all much easier so I’d start temping, using opks, etc and see if you can start to work out a pattern. Beyond that, just relax and enjoy the process. No need to change your lifestyle other than quitting smoking or any drug use. All the months I’ve gotten pregnant, I heartily enjoyed a lot of wine so no reason to stop until you’re pregnant ( and even then a tiny glass is still perfectly fine).

Hi sorry I should create a new thread but I am pregnant now. as it wasn’t planned I feel anxious scared and not at all how I thought I’d feel. The man I was with wasn’t the man I thought he was. Just so thankful he isn’t the father. I’m annoying my nearest and dearest with my moaning but I feel sick all the time, it’s got so bad over this weekend I’m worried about tomorrow at work. One of my friends whose 32 is desperate to be pregnant and is snappy with me. It’s just all shocking and scary. Was such a surprise. These posts might need moving but I don’t know where too...

How pregnant are you? The sickness didn't go away for me until around 16- 18 weeks.

Hi user I've got pcos too whst cycle Wer u on 32 day? I'm trying to concieve too

Your update about the Jeremy Kyle version made me laugh out loud so thank you
I hope all works out for the best for you anyway, you do have a great sense of humour! Hopefully you can have a dna test once the baby is born and no wonder your ex fiancé was dog tired as he must have been very busy

(This is user, changed my name to a few girls names I like at the min) anyhoo thanks! Glad it made you laugh! I’m glad I have somewhere to rant because moaning drives my friends nuts. Always too much drama in my life, at least it’s never dull. Yes dna will solve my problems, weirdly they both want to be the Dad...so it isn’t like they’re running for the hills. One I’m seeing is taking me out this week for dinner, they’ve both dropped in with ginger biscuits and such (I throw up most meals :( ) and I’ve been fully honest with everyone involved. When will sickness end?!?!?! Its torture.

This is to sweet- sorry I wasn’t trying at all, don’t even know where I was in my cycle. If it’s a comfort hey I am pregnant! So it is very possible don’t lose hope! I hadn’t begun to try, my ex and I had separated, that c...t was busy getting his poor ex pregnant whose in a right mess I don’t mind telling you... so be like me sleep with two different men close together and get them to cum inside, be on safe side try and get in at least three times a night! ( I am joking, my life is embarrassing lol)
