Trying for a Baby Part 7

Birdie85

Hope you're feeling a little better now BigZippy, sometimes you need a good strop to get it out of your system!

Good on you SexyMouse for coming up with new ways to make BD fun and new again! Hope it goes well and the cream doesn't make too much of a mess!

How do you girls cope with OH's with low libidos?! My DH is more than happy to BD once a week, I have been trying to get more out of him and trying to sneak it up to every 2-3 days but it's not always happening like that. We DTD Friday and I tried again last night only to get shot down because he was tired and 'he's not a machine' errr, I'd understand that argument if I was asking for him to BD twice a day but every other day?! I mentioned that he'll have to be more 'active' this weekend as I should be OVing but I can't see it happening TBH and it's frustrating but I can't say anything for fear of putting him under pressure and sounding like a crazy lady only after his seed! He's never been that bothered by sex, as long as he gets 'enough' but I don't know how he expects to make a baby without DTD... he was complaining about it already being over a month (which isn't correct anyway as I only had my first AF last week, but in his mind we've been properly TTC since early October) and I wanted to tell him that babies don't really arrive by stork and require work from both parties!

Must not let the PMA slip though, we get paid on Friday so can treat ourselves to a nice (light so we're not too bloated!) meal on Saturday night and have a real date for the first time since we got back from our honeymoon!

Morning all. So not happy that it is Monday morning again. Why does the weekend go so quick. Need a nap and some energy today.

Hugs to all that need it.

Hello everyone,

I havent posted for a while, since OV in fact as i thouhgt it would be better if i stayed away and just saw how things went.

Just to provide a brief bit of background...been TTC since April..found out in May that we had caught first cycle but then had a MC at 7 weeks in June. Have been back TTC ever since, and am pleased to report that this cycle was the one for us, as i got my BFP a few days ago. Feeling so many emotions its unreal, and really think i am holding back because we have been here before. We are just taking each day as it comes really for now. I am 4wks+4.

I think we did quite a bit different this time. I started temping and recording this on FF and also started taking Agnus Castus from about day 11 or 12 (i would have started earlier but didnt buy it until then - i took the reccomended dose from holland and barrett which from memory was 1600mg a day?!). I also began taking cough med then and took both up to OV. i do also use CBFM and began using OPK's this month too. interestingly they showed surge later than FF says i ovulated based on my temps (although i had high from day 10 onwards i think from memory). We also did the SMEP but only from day 11 so we were a day out. So i wonder if FF is right and i did actually ovulate on day 17 and not 19. We BD'd every other day from day 11 or so and then every day for 3 days during peak, missed a day and BD'd afterwards.

As for symptoms i havent really had many. Have had a few cramps and have noticed ive been weeing more frequently but thats about it really.

Some will remember that i had said i thouhgt i had a hormone imbalance and i think that was down to the MC i had and i dont think i have really been back on track since now - so it has taken a good three months. Everyone is different though, just thought i would share my news and hopefully this will help others.

I will check back from time to time but will probably not come on much as i am just trying to chill and see what happens and take each day as it comes.

Thanks to everyone who posts on here though - i wouldnt be where i am now without you as i wouldnt know half of the knowledge i now have

Good Morning Ladies and congratulations pot80!

I'm 8dpo today could I please join the list to test on wednesday.

I'm going a bit mad today and am sure I'm making up symptoms but everything that is going is very different to my normal cycle. So far I've nearly fainted, had headaches, nausea and a very crampy tummy since 2dpo. I also have a bit of backache and needing to wee lots. OOoh and was worn out yesterday went to bed and was wide awake un til 2.30am which never happens.

Fingers crossed this is our month, Sending lots of babydust x
