Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ May 08 #4

[issy02]

Hey girls,

Just wanted to drop in and spread some :goodluck2: for all of us, that there are loads of BFP's announced in this new thread!

Jodsan - I was procrastinating last night so decided to google the Jonas theory/Lunar cycles etc. It said that my most fertile time would have been on Friday of last week, the 23rd which was actually CD15 for me, smack bang in the middle of my cycle...so spot on Was pretty amazed that it came up with that date, since you dont enter any details about your cycle length, or when last AF was etc. It also predicted a Girl with risk of 1....interesting
DH and I have dtd everynight since last week, EXCEPT FOR FRIDAY!!!! Still, we did it either side of this night so thats cool. Thanks for that info!

I had really uncomfortable bloating and pain (like AF pains) for about 4 days. But it has finally gone today, so I definatley know I o'ed in the last few days. Also, bb's have started to hurt already, so thats another good sign I have O'ed. So now its just a waiting game

Sorry ladies, I havent had time to read up on all your last posts so no personals today, but I will read them when I get a chance and will stop the selfish posts

Hope all you beautiful ladies are doing well.... im thinking of you!

Issy

:goodluck2: Good Luck Issy, hope you catch that eggie!!!!

AFM, well... im abit annoyed. My OH and I decided that we would BD 3-4 days before O and a few days after suspected O this month, which i was fine with. But now, im supposed to Ov. today/tomorrow and i tried to get OH in the mood for it but he didnt want to. I didnt really want to either but i was willing to have my intestines pushed up into my throat (sorry tmi!!) and suffer back pain atm for the sake of catching the egg. I told him to put on some "videos" and get himself ready and he can just finish off in me so he does that but 5 mins in and he says to me "I cant do it, if i dont want sex my body will not let me do it!" *sigh* so we tried for abit more and then he went soft so so he stopped altogether.. So now he is off to work and im left sitting here feeling like crapola because my OH doesnt really want to TTC.......

Abbey sorry to hear tonight's bd'ing didn't work out as planned.... big It is hard once you're right in the time of o and you know you have to bd but hubby isn't into it. Hopefully if you can bd either side of today it might work out too and get you that in a couple of weeks!

I have ewcm today (how exciting!) but dh is off to soccer training now... he swears we will bd when he gets back but I am dubious - he's always exhausted when he gets home. Truth be told I am really tired too but ... eye on the prize right?!!

Also wanted to ask - has anyone used/planning to use pre-seed? I ordered some from lullaby conceptions last week because last cycle didn't really get much ewcm at all, but now seem to have enough ewcm... Would you use it even if you do have ewcm, or only if you don't? Any success stories? So many questions!

Happy positive vibes and loads of everyone!

Sorry ladies, just a quick message tonight. I've been reading all your posts and thinking of you, but I'm afeeling a bit anxious about things at the moment and I am finding it hard to post. I'm just hoping really hard that I ovulated on Sunday, but need to watch my temp for a couple more days to be sure.

SaraJane - I had a peek at your chart. Did you ovulate on Monday? I think I ovulated on Sunday, so we may have ovulated really close together!! I hope we both get BFP's together. Our due dates were so close last time, and this time they might be identical! I'm soooooooooooooo crossing my fingers for us (and everyone else!!!).

Jen - I think you can add me to the TWW, but I'll let you know if that's not the case in a few days. Your list is great!

Issy, woo, that's exciting, hope the lunar theory works for you this month!

Abbey - It really does get daunting trying to continuously lift for TTC. I'm sure that its not that he doesn't want to TTC, I really think that guys dont understand that it such a complicated process getting pregnant. My DH is only just starting to work out why everything has to be planned so well (after 7 months of TTC). I have worked out over the past couple of months that it is too much pressure trying to BD every day. It becomes more of a chore rather than an intimate encounter, DH was especially feeling that we had lost the fun of the whole thing. I think there is a risk of depleting the sperm stores to. I think its safe to assume that if our guys drink beer regularly, they will have slightly lower sperm counts (alcohol is one of the worst things apparently). So if that is the case, it's probably better to just BD every second day. Bc sperm can live so long in fertile CM, if you BD'ed yesterday, that should be ok. Maybe he will feel like it again tomorrow, if you O tonight, you can still catch it tomorrow but hopefully the sperm are still there waiting as we speak.

Jenushka - We used preseed for a couple of months. DH really loved it. But if you have heaps of EWCM, you shouldn't need it. I mostly just used it in the days leading up to O when CM was still creamy. Good luck catching the eggy!

Big hello to pbstar, bettyboop, angelbabies (I knew you'd pop in again!), Kristielove and everyone else

We BD'ed sunday and monday night and tried to this afternoon so hopefully OH will want it tonight after work. He watched "One night in paris" this afternoon before work and got all happy over it so we'll see... He doesnt drink but does wear tighty whitey undies. I think that there is enough spermies up there (LOL sorry TMI) because im having difficulty determining whether its CM or just semen leaking out
