TTC - The Taboo bits!

[Loopy345]

Hello all I have searched high and low for a recent thread that gets down to the nitty gritty of ttc and I failed. So decided to get one up and running.

Ttc #1 - 12 months
Age 32 DP 35
Personality - absolute stress head!

Issue - getting to dtd during our fw (or any at that). DP seems to be failing on the erection front since ttc. Trying different methods and not sure what is for the best!

Would love to hear if others are having the same problems and what they do about it !

Lots of ladies on the pregnancy board are already pregnant, you may have more luck on the conception board. Good luck!

Oh bless, it will be the pressure of feeling like he ‘has’ to perform that’s doing it. My advice would be stop worrying about dates and try to DTD every 2-3 days. When it’s done, pop a pillow under your bum and lie there for a bit! The sperm can survive for a few days so even if you don’t get the right day, you’ll have a good chance. Xx

Thank you. Yes I did try but for some reason mumsnet won’t let me post on that board. 🤔.

@Scatteredmamma82 well that was the plan but the struggle for DPnis to stay erect to actually follow through. He has been prescribed medication (the little blue pill). But I’m hesitant as I’ve read that it can affect sperm? Any knowledge on that one?

I can relate but am now 14 weeks pregnant after ttc for 7 months.
Try to relax (easier said than done).
Also agree to try and dtd every couple of days around fertile window - or earlier as sperm can survive a couple of days.
We then had a slight problem with DH being able to finish every time that regularly. But persevere.
Also temping is good as it should confirm when you ovulated - I was later than all the apps predicted.
Good luck and hope you get your BFP soon!

Why not focus on foreplay for a bit and finish him off with a handjob / blowjob for a day or two before trying to ttc. It could be the pressure putting him off.

Also, I just remembered DH started taking L-Argenine tablets a few weeks before we finally conceived. Just natural ones from amazon. They're supposed to be good for ED so not sure whether that had an impact but thought it couldn't hurt to try!
