Hi Gorgeous women!

Happy 3 month birthday Storm Piper - watch over your Mama and Daddy today as they will need your special Angel kisses today... :hugs:

Thinking of you so very much today Jo - sending you lots of love and strength... :hugs:

Mel: mmm the opk debate... Well, for me, my husband as you know has agreed to TTC another baby, however if he has to perform on a particular day he finds it very off putting. I don't tell him - he knows approx when I will ovulate of course but I don't put the pressure on with okay it's tonight! Everyone is different and you need to do what you feel comfy with. Personally I don't think it's an issue if you are both actively ttc - sure he doesn't want to be under pressure but it's helpful to know when the optimal time is to give you the best chance of conception. OPK's will help with that. If you order from Lullaby Conceptions - you can phone up and you will have the tests the very next day. It is a wonderful service and as I said you just have to ask for express post and you will have them the next working day (tomorrow!). They are by far the cheapest and I think they are great.
As for when to DTD... If your partner has a sperm count issue every second day is best. Optimally you need to DTD when you get a positive opk. MOST women will ovulate within 12-24 hours of receiving a positive opk. So DTD the night you get your positive - this will put that sperm up there and waiting for action as soon as that follie bursts forth with a healthy egg! Do it again the next night and an extra one for insurance. Many FS will say every second night is fine - this is what I would do if I were you. Afterward stay lying down for the rest of the night if possible with your hips slightly raised to give the sperm a bit of extra help getting up through your cervix! It is also thought that if a woman orgasms this helps to get the sperm up through the cervix more effectively as well... I hope you catch that egg this month my love.

Lynn: How are you? Any sight of your period yet??? It must be here soon I just hope it's today so you can begin your treatment soon...

Spring, Chelle, Nat, Tommysmum and anyone else I have left out I will be back in later...
