Trying for a Baby Part 7

mrsj28

2b - massive ((hugs))

LilyMay - 'the great sperm race' on Channel 4 is really interesting if you fancy watching it (it's on 4od website), fascinating and makes sense as to why there's only a 25% chance each month!

skintchick - that sounds seriously stretchy :eek: :rotfl:

claire - in the nicest way possible, glad I'm not the only one that had an M&S meltdown today!!!! Inhaling chocolate is the way forward (I think I posted earlier as part of my 'pma' on CD1 that I could take this cycle as an opportunity to lose a few pounds... errrr... might need to cross that one off the list)

ETA - LilyMay - I realise that might not be very helpful, me saying 'hey, here's some advice, go and watch something on the telly... :rotfl:' I don't think doing the deed every day is going to be a hindrance (although I think it can if men have a low sperm count as the sperm need time to build up again). As I understand, optimum time is the two-three days before ovulation, so that you have plenty of sperm ready and waiting for the egg.

I know! I was quite fascinated :rotfl: I'm hoping it means I'm super-fertile this month. Course, I also hope OH's sperm are up to scratch. I've got him on multivitamins now, as well as me taking Pregnacare, so we can only hope and pray. I am just so aware of our ages now (37 and 45). We are officially old lol.

Fingers crossed!

Well done getting OH on the multivitamins. I broached the subject with DH the other day in a hypothetical way: 'what would you think if I [STRIKE]started shoving various tablets down your throat [/STRIKE]encouraged you to take a tablet or two as part of ttc?'

The answer was a categorical NO. But he was very disappointed for us when AF arrived this morning, so might be able to persuade him!

MrsJ - Thanks for the info. I will try and stick to what we have been doing and keep my fingers crossed. I looked up that sperm program but 4od said it wasn't available

SkintChick - My mother was 46 when I was born (all totally natural) so keep the faith!

I was very blunt with OH, because at first he said no, so I said: "You seem to assume that any problem we have is my fault. It could well be your sperm that is substandard, rather than my womb, and I think we both need to be doing all we can in order to try and have a healthy, live baby, and as all I am asking you to do is take a tablet once a day, I think it is unreasonable of you to refuse."

He has taken them ever since.

SkintChick - if you don't mind me asking, what are the number's below every post you write? Are they dates? I only ask as one is my birthday (4-3), one is my mothers birthday (22-7) another was my son's due date (11-11) and (21-6) is my wedding anniversary!

:wave: newbies, hope you aren't around very long in the nicest possible way.

2b massive squishy hugs.

For some reason I am incredibly hormonal at the moment. Doesn't help that I just went and bought a load of easter eggs for my mate's party next weekend, so all of the kiddies can have an easter egg hunt. Think it's going to be a tough one as there's going to be 14 little kids there and they're all under the age of 3. Better make sure I pack extra tissues in the car.
Also didn't help when I went to work today and a load of Charlie's cricket team mates were there that we only tend to see in the summer. They know we were trying last year for a baby (I do their cricket teas and warned them that I wouldn't continue if we were successful). The first thing they said when we walked in, was to ask if I was pregnant yet. It hurt so much, and as some of them are quite immature (teens) they just quipped that Charlie must be firing blanks. I felt so devestated that people must be having a good laugh at our expense. It's ruined my mood all day, and now OH thinks I'm acting wierd with him. I'm just heartbroken.

Morning,

Hugs to everyone who needs them. Sorry for no writing a personal message but I'm typing this message on my phone and it's really complicated (not the best gadget user).

:T Welcome newbies! Hope you stay here is short, no disrespect .

QQ Good luck on Monday. Hope you get lots of good healthy eggs although you need just one lucky egg .

I had a very nice positive OPK yesterday and here is the proof:
I was:j:j:j to see 2 lines. We BD last night and I might get some action this morning as well:D. Was it me who said the other day that it will never ever BD after Thursday evening ?I can't remember now.

So I'm fertile, I'm fertile, I'm fertile and my eggy will meet my DH's swimmers. Have a nice day everyone
