Trying for a Baby Part 7

TTC40

Mrsj28 - I know others recommend the relaxed NTNP approach, but I know personally it probably wouldn't work in my case.

On average we BD once a week, so the chances of sperm meeting egg would be slim.

I know it can be frustrating for us all when the BD doesn't happen, but I think that with the benefit of OPKs you can identify some key days to try - so it's not just down to one BD opportunity.

AFM - feeling OK today, less stiff. Going for my accupuncture later as decided to cancel from yesterday. Given up with the surgical stockings!

Very tempted to lift the plasters which are covering the two wounds (have been told not to do this until the stitches come out on Tuesday) but have managed to resist so far. The covering is waterproof so I can shower.

Feeling a bit down today, BD last night but DH got 'performance anxiety' and couldn't complete, so I'm worried we've missed our opportunity this month. Haven't had a temp rise yet, but CM has dried up. Anyway, we'll see. I feel like we go through this every single cycle - me knowing OV is approaching, not saying anything to DH but him just 'knowing' and not being able to perform or not being bothered. And then I get all ratty and upset so BD is off the cards anyway!

Don't know what to do about this stupid situation! Am wondering about NTNP - obviously I'll still be able to check CM (don't think I'll ever give up that habit :rotfl:) but could stop temping and OPKs and all the rest of it. But the issue is we probably won't have enough sex!

Aargh! Sorry for yet another rant, I really do feel like a stuck record on this subject now!

Oh well, it's Friday :j We are decorating our bedroom this weekend which should be fun (maybe I should go for a kind of sexy boudoir style to encourage BD :rotfl:).

mrsj28 - try including hints of red in your bedroom decor, you never know it might work on a subconscious level!

I ad the same this month, we had a big tiff so missed OPKing and BDing on the one day this month I get EWCM and then when we did BD it was just a couple of hours after I last saw EWCM (had dried up by then)...missed it by hours noooo

Why dont you suggest doing it 3 times on the week that you know is leading up to ovulation, and just leave it to ur OH to decide when? sperm can live for up to 5 days, try using concieve plus as well, maybe it will give the sperm a bit more of a chance as well..

Failing that, get a BD calender and mark in red the days u think u will ovulate so that that ur OH KNOWS IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS WHEN HE IS EXPECTED TO COOPERATE. lol, this is me at DH arounf ov time (excuse the poor grammar but you get the idea!):

My trips to the loo only happen af night, i always sit back to empty the bladder when i go as i am prone to cystitus which takes me out for three days as i cant drink cranberry juice. I have the fun of bottles of water and t.
I got some sleep last night
Will go to the docs monday if its still here. I had this last month and was told i didnt have an infection but he gave me pills for it anyway but they didnt help.

Ok weird question but i feel like my thighs are huge and want to shrink them for the wedding. I walk about 2 hrs a day already and i do my pump it up dvd. Im trying to get an exercise bike off freecycle and i have a latteral thigh trainer any other suggestions?

Sorry i forgot who wrote about the bedroom but i found that when we painted our bedroom red that help. Ambient lighting and smells help to bombard his senses for bding

Hope that helps

Hello Ladies

Excuse my ignorance again - what is conceive plus ?

mrsj28

Am loving the red suggestions...BUT our bedroom already has a huge red feature wall!!!! That's why we ate decorating, to get rid of it!

Oh dear I don't think there's any hope for us!!

Thanks so much for the support and suggestions ladies, I really appreciate it. I like the idea of telling him when ov week is and leaving it up to him to initiate 3 BDs that week. Maybe I'll try that next month.

CM dried up and cervix is firm and closed so I think we've missed our chance, although weirdly no temp rise yet so who knows!

Stopped sleeping with the eye mask last night, trying to get lots of natural light today!

Leopardlady - ((hugs)) for CD1. Hope you enjoy your dinner and drinks this evening!

nikolacarter - your thighs are probably ok. Sounds like you do enough exercise anyway. I wouldn't overdo it because you don't want to bulk them out. I completely ignored my thighs before my wedding because my dress hid them anyway.

mrsj - if you figure something out let me know. OH seems to know when I'm oving (I never tell him) and avoids me like the plague. This is probably because I become a hell-beast.

Less bleeding today, and fewer cramps but boy, am I emotional. DH got a bit irritated about something this morning and told me off and instead of me doing my usual angry calling him a not very nice name thing, I burst into tears instead, like a 2 year old.

I think it's some sort of lubricant that can help sperm get where they need to go. Kind of artifical EWCM. I think!

That's right Tea Lover

Lunaception is so much easier when the weather's nice! Slept without my eye mask last night but I've only managed a few minutes of proper outside light as the weather is so rotten! I hope the fact that I sit right next to a window at work somehow counts as daylight

Glad the cramps and bleeding are better today Code, but hugs for feeling emotional!

I think when I've had my baby we'll be having arguments about which BC to use. OH loves the docile, non-hormonal me that comes with being on the pill, but after noticing how my body should be working without the pill I'm loathe to go back to it! OH will just have to get used to the mood swings, and by all accounts if he thinks I'm bad now he's in for a treat when I get PG!
