Hi Ladies, I am currently on cycle 46!! I think losing count lol got to laugh I will cry otherwise.

I have had my 3 and 21 bloods done, got a HSG on wednesday (really worried about that one) Only went for help in Jan so we have come a long way in a couple of months, I only wish I had gone before then maybe I would be holding my treasure in my arms now.

Tried Softcups, temping, Opks,SMEP you name it! results come back all good so far so we shall see. The next step for me is Clomid which I am hoping to start next cycle.

We need to have faith in our bodies loads of PMA you read of couples that have been trying years and end up with their BFP so if they can do it so can we x

you have come a long way already and thats such a positive thing

this is the start of you getting your BFP!!

dont worry too much about the HSG, i had mine in december and i was really nervous but it wasnt so bad. i didnt find the procedure painful, i found it uncomfortable obviously but its all over pretty quick so you just have to try to relax as much as possible. i had some cramping a few days after which was like a bad period but its all bearable and you just have to think its worth it if it means you'll get your BFP at the end of it all.

good luck!

How often do you's have sex? We've been ttc for, i'll be 2 years in 2 months time, but we've had 2 mc so i guess its abit diff than having no bfp's at all. but we went to see the nurse to explain our ttc history and she said that because i'm ovulating and OH's S.A was not bad but its okay, then we should have sex every other day, we were doing it everyday, somtimes twice a day and she said that somtimes when couples have okay test results there problem is then either, too much sex or not enough.. could be that?

i've never been clear on whats best as far as how often to have sex. i've been told every day over the week you're ovulating but then i've also been told if you do it every other day its better because then your OH's sperm is better quality.

then of course theres the 'gourmet sex' theory which says that you should make sure the sex you're having when you ttc is gooooood HAHA apparently the male draws on sperm reserves when he's really really into it and the female orgasm helps the sperm travel further and gives it a friendlier environment so i guess the better quality sex you have the more chance you have

sounds like quality over quantity but really, who knows!

and i'm really sorry you've had 2 mcs. i had one in february so i know how distressing it is

Oh no-gourmet sex during ttc after 17 cycles is a LOT easier said then done-esp. toward the end of the fertile period.

We usually BD about 5-7 days staright of fertile period-or at least usually every day. Although we've changed it around lots of times with no luck. Trying Sperm Meets Egg Plan this cycle for first time which means to start BD every other day beginning cd 8 but then switch to every day for 3 days from time you get a +opk and then skip one night and then do one last time night after that. Oh well it can't hurt.

Don't get me wrong-I LOVE gourmet sex! It is just not near as easy for it to come naturally for me on say the six straight day in a row of BD with only preseed as lube and trying to stay in "optimal" positions after 17 cycles ttc! It seems unfortunately all our best gourmet sex comes around cd 5/6 or 7/8dpo, lol!!! Any tips for making it better during BD are HIGHLY appreciated : )

a_missy · Apr 11th, 2010, 10:50 AM

its weird isnt it? when sex becomes about optimal positions and post coital bliss is replaced with a pillow under your bum

i've never used preseed but i hear it talked about a lot. i have to admit though my body seems to be more than happy to BD at the right times in the month which obviously helps with the gourmet aspect.

we always said we'd try not to let ttc change the fun we have with sex but it does to some extent. you suddenly become aware of the best positions and timing and all that stuff, you cant help it can you? what i really dont want is to realise i'm doing it ONLY because we're ttc and not because i enjoy it. that would be awful

Hi,

That could be good advice, I am ovulating his sperm is ok he got 22 mil low sperm is 20 mil, around ovulation we normally have sex morning and next so maybe we ought to try and give the men some time to build their strength up.

Have you been for any other tests?
