    Hi M2OSB,
    Actually I'm CD18, well 19 today, got my dates wrong! Feel good today so far, no pain. Gosh it was so annoying yesterday. It felt heavy for me as well, kind of like bad AF pain. We BD last night, we have every second night since CD14, so hopefully that was enough! You had a question earlier (can't remember the thread) about DTD. From what i remember being told you DTD every second night because the sperms need time to regenerate before "evacuating" again, so to speak
    Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

    Rai~ I hope you advised your DP that trees won't move out the road for you to fly by......lol....had to hurt though, hope he is ok and still up to getting his grove on for you for the week end darl....Good Luck with catching that egg and sending you lots of baby dust and some great BFP vibes darl.

    Good luck to everyone else waiting to O or in the 2WW sending out truck loads of baby dust and BFP vibes to you all, FX we get a few before the end of 2010 and lots more in 2011.

    AFM~ Tomoro night I start my Clomid journey with all you wonderful ladies in here, when should I expect to get any SE if I get any? A little concerned I'm not going to cope with the mood swings if I get them and feeling a little like my body has let me down by having to go onto Clomid. But no doubt I will deal with it all in time. I guess my main concern is that I'm not sure what I will feel like if it works and I do get my BFP and take home bub. We have been trying for what seems like forever and after so many let downs and BFNs I think I will have a coronary if we get a BFP on it, IYKWIM. LOL....thank you in advance for any advice girls and take care of you all.

    Clairesmummy - lol that's what i said to him. His getting better now but has been in alot of pain. I will make sure his ok to DTD this weekend after all the complaining i have heard over the last week and a half. Thank You
    I'm really sorry i cant answer about SE i was lucky and did not have many at all, wishing the same for you. I know the feeling your body has let you down its so fustrating when some people can fall pregnant so easily, it
    just should not be this hard. But the bright side is that your doing something positive with the situation and taking clomid and i'm really hoping for you that its first time lucky. Sending you lots of Baby Dust. GOOD LUCK

    hi girls,
    rai- I hope your DH is on the mend and up to a full weekend of rolicking good fun for you both

    Tasha- sounds like you've done your bit towards a BFP this month, and it definately soudns like you o'd yesterday. That's the pain I usually get.

    Clairesmummy- I know what you mean about feeling like your body has let you down, but at least we should be able to correct things, and clomid is what it might need for now. To answer your question about SE I got mine from clomid day 2 for the time I took the tablets, and then to a lesser extent thoughout the cycle. HTH

    Hi to everyone else, I hope you're all well. Who coming to the end of TWW's? I know there were a few; keep us posted!
    Jules- GL for your scan tomorrow, hope there's a nice big follie for you!

    AFM: I'm CD9 today and for the first time ever I think I might be ovulating early! I've got a scan tomorrow, so I'll find out in there are any follies ready to go. I'm having a bit of trouble with the jabs this round, they have been hurting heaps! That's never happened before. Who knows hey? I have everything crossed that this month is mine for a take home bub, I'm a little over being patient!

    Have an awesome weekend girls,

    Bec

    Hi everybody
    I haven't posted in a while, just been trying to not think about ttc because last month it sent me crazy and i had such a bad meltdown when AF came.
    Im on CD16 and got a +OPK today so im hoping i'll O tomorrow. I DTD last night and have been every other night since CD 9. Should i DTD every night from now? My Ob says it's fine to DTD every night but there is so much conflicting info out there im not sure!
    Neways,no SE this month! YAY!
    I wish everyone well, and hope someone gets a magical christmas BFP.

    Hi Yas,

    Mine said it was fine to DTD everynight, but every second is fine too. I read an article that said, while DTD every day means that the semen volume may be slightly decreased by more frequent intercourse, 24 hours is more than enough time for him to raise enough troops to do the job. So in short the article suggested that you will get more troops if you DTD every 48 hours, but there will still be enough troops available after 24 hours and because timing can be a bigger issue, DTD every 24 hours may actually be better where female factor fertility is the only issue. This wouldn't work though if your partner had any fertility issues also.
