Trying To Concieve

jiblets1

My OH hasn't actually had any problems BDing, but I can see how it could easily happen. I make a particular effort (timed not to collide with ovulation) to give OH sex that is obviously just sex and just for him. It's far too easy to lose the fun from the situation and I think when you're as obsessed with ttc as we all are it takes a concerted effort to enjoy yourself too.

Aren't there vitamins or something that men can take to help? I think zinc is meant to make you a bit extra up-for-it and to help replenish the pp afterwards. good luck with it leopardlady.

Hi ladies!

Not been around for a couple of days but I didn't get made redundant on Tuesday :j Phew! It was so touching to come on here this morning and see that people were thinking of me, so thanks for that! And sorry for taking so long to post my reply! Was bitter sweet though because one of my best friends was made redundant so the day was also tinged with sadness. I feel awful for her and there is nothing I can say to make it better. I am a "fixer" by nature so don't like the feeling of powerlessness (if thats a word!)

So the ttc rollercoaster continues.......DH is well chuffed, he just loves all this bding! Although, we too don't always go "all the way" as it were, definitely makes it less like all we are trying to do is make a baby (even though I am, lol)

How are you, GracieP, after your fall? Are you feeling less battered and bruised now?

AnnieM, hope you don't stress out too much for your 2ww, fingers crossed!

Yeah jiblets I heard that zinc is meant to be good for the lads aswell.

Well good luck and baby dust/glue to all!

Thanks guys, I have never made the whole bding like bding, it has always been sex and i have made no changes to how or when we do it. I think he has just decided that it is time to get working at it and this has panicked him. I am trying to convince him that we should just be having fun and trying to do things that are more focussed on him than bding.

I am very happy for you Rosie, but sorry about your mate, i know what you mean about being a "fixer" i hate it when i can't help others. You can be there as a friend and she will be grateful of your friendship through this tough time.

Big ((((Hugs)))) to all who need them, i am eating chocolate as AF is in full flow!

I'm pleased you escaped redundancy, Rosie!

I have a horrible feeling af is on her way, though am on cd 23 on a possible 28 day cycle (if I have a 14 day luteal phase), but it's all a bit odd. I've felt utterly exhausted a couple of mornings this week, so much so that I've had to sit down for fear of being dizzy! Normally I have swollen, painful boobs by now, but I've not this month, but I've had shooting pains in them every now and again. I've had pains in my abdomen all the way up to my ribs, and it feels swollen. I usually have a metallic taste in my mouth a few days before af, but I haven't at all. Apologies for tmi but cm is different from usual too.

Basically, I am non-symptom spotting :rotfl: Has anyone else had experience of this?

jiblets1

God yes. My friend told me they first realised she was pregnant because they noticed her pmt should have hit but hadn't.
Non-symptom spotting is the new it. Anything else is like, so behind the times...:rotfl:

I didn't realise I was so "with it" lol!:cool:

AnnieM, I try to non-sympton spot every month. Kind of like reverse psychology for your body (reverse bodiology?!) Definitely think it will catch on.....

Hope everyone is well and just bloomin' glad its Friday! I have a cold so feel that I will be laid up all weekend, just a nuisance because I am scared to take anything for it "just in case".....
