Trying for a Baby Part Six

Hi ladies - I have another question - which is probably stupid but....

How long does it take to get pregnant? I mean in the scientific sense of you do the baby dance (love that term), the sperm and the egg does its bit and hey presto you’re pregnant. Does that happen in a couple of days of you doing the BD or does it take the majority of your cycle for the magic to happen?

Of course I appreciate that it can be a long hard slog before the magic happens.

Well, it depends on how you view things. If you are talking about the sperm meeting egg, that COULD be the same day as BD'ing, I think.

But, implantation doesn't occur until about 10DPO I think and it can vary by a few days. And even if implantation happened at this point, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will get a positive on a test yet, as the hormones can take a while to increase enough to be detected.

Hi all

Check me out, i finished at 5.30 today, good huh? i have a few days off too which im soooo pleased about. Had a bit of a 'stamping feet' moment at work and said things need to change or i will be walking out the door.....got a few answers and had a good chat so fingers crossed things might ease off but again heard it all before.....

Anyway boring work dramas ive posted enough about that back to TTC news...... I have seen EWCM this week but only small amount (not as much as last month maybe cos of stress) we are bd'ing every other day but are away with his folks this weekend so not sure how much we will get next few days but will try

I'm sure you all ask this from time to time, but how the hell do people get pregnant 'by accident'? If you can only hit the jackpot on a certain day, with the jubilee line running without delays and malaysian chicken on pret's menu - how do the Jeremy Kyle clientele (I was off last week ;O) manage to fall by accident?

:rotfl: LOL love it! You can stay (although not for long, hopefully!)

Does the heat make anyone else's OH particularly randy?

No, the opposite if anything! Mine hates hot weather. Mind you, i've been exhausted this week and good for nothing.

BB1984, are you 5DPO?

No idea. It looks like it to me, based on temps and CM, but FF is determined not to put an ov line in! Mind you, my temps still look quite low compared to most other people - am I just cold-blooded?! My luteal phase in the one and only previous cycle where I'm pretty sure I ov'd was 12 days, so maybe I'll find out next thursday...!

Good luck for tomorrow QQ, hope all goes well! Acupuncture is fun, I liked it

Sorry for the SS, really excited by all the getting preggers talk and was looking for something, anything, to be happening. Won't happen again, promise!

Good luck for the scan tomorrow QQ, fingers crossed for you!

Praline, I love your flippancy! Keep it up

SBD and hugs all round

Can anyone recommend a good basal thermometer? I've heard some are not very good.

Oh dear.... If there was a test you took before you were allowed to even TTC (I know the lingo:D), I guess I would be told to get a cat:(

(If this is the wrong place for my musing, please let me know - I may write in a slightly flippant way, but this journey is not being taken lightly at all. The flippancy is to try to raise a smile with every paragraph!)

Music to my ears ...

Just informed The Man and had the reply that I'd better buy some redbull on my way home! This week has been 'busy' so far:D

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I like you! You can stay! Just to make me laugh (actually did, out loud, to the point where I had to share with DH in a fit of giggles what I was laughing at!:rotfl:)

Hahaha I hadn't got to your post before I said the exact same thing!

I got this one, which had the options of the OPKs and HPTs included too. I think I was directed to it by people on here. If it wasn't on here it was in real life

Nothing much of a TTC value to add. Don't really know what's going on, and any theory I come up with is likely to be BS lol. Jumping DH regularly seems to be the way forward Hopefully our new bed saga (ordered one, a "cancelled special" which was supposed to be as new, came really damaged, over a week ago, and still not got it sorted) will be resolved soon so the BDing can be rather more comfortable and rather less squeeky!!
(Man, I hope my RL people who know about me on here don't track me down and read these posts!!:shocked: and if they do I hope they have the good grace NEVER to mention them!! :rotfl:)

Been to see the urologist today and he wants to do some tests...particularly not looking forward to the camera scope I wouldn't mind, but I think me and the consultant both know what it is (and that it's not curable, or particularly treatable, esp while TTC) but he has to do all these grim tests to rule out everything it's highly unlikely it is before he can officially diagnose what it is!:cool:

Morning ladies!!!

Welcome to the newbies that I haven't said hello to yet :hello: I would highly recommend the book 'What to expect before you're expecting'
praline - love your funny posts :rotfl:
euro - yes, my hubby is a nightmare in the heat (he has a high sx drive anyway but the heat brings it out even more :eek:)
QQ - good luck today!!!
calamityclare - hope you enjoy your time off and manage to chill!
fannyanna - I bought a basal body therm off ebay - i went for the seller with good reviews, figured he/she must have one that works!
bigzippy - good luck with your tests

I haven't been on to post properly for a few days but I have been reading through. I'm off work now for the weekend! Woohoo!! :j

My AF is due Tuesday and my temps are looking good, so far :cool: Not wishing to tempt fate, though... Oh, and my b00bs are sore and 'full' too which seems to be a good sign that I have ov'd from past cycles

We are off on a weekend away with DHs family, it's gonna be lovely weather so I am SOOOO excited I will of course have the laptop with me so will be checking in here!

Hope everyone has a lovely day!
