BD more fun when not making babies? - Page 4

love that phrase too

I do temp and also use OPK's. The temping is ok, I just set my alarm and then after go back to sleep.

OPK's are working well, although i seemed to notice that the surge is easily missed. last month mine changed from almost positive to darker than control line in about 3/4 hours! good job i tested twice that day xx

Also, we though opk's would be good for not having to BD every day for millions of days, but then I OV'd early and we only got in 1 BD when the OPK was darkest and the next day...

So this cycle, I'm still going to OPK, but also bd as much as possible...I told OH we should do it every day for about a week before OV and as much as possible before that

talk about not spontaneous...

still though, as someone mentioned in an earlier post, when the babies come there will be hardly any time for BD, so we should enjoy it as much as possible.

how are the opk's working for you? xx

So far they've not! Last cycle I had a very clear, bold +ve on CD14 - though that was an extremely short cycle of 22 days. Based on my cycle averages I should have ov'd today, but so far nothing. Maybe it'll be tomorrow.

I've been tracking but my O day seems all over. I am gonna start BBTing since OPKs confuse me no matter how much I read about them. Crazy body.

DH said the same thing to me though. He was getting stressed from me stressing about it not working. I think he gets more excited than me even every month til I get AF then he gets all disappointed. >_< He said he wanted to stop trying because of it... even though I hardly say a thing about it except mentioning a symptom here or there...

But we don't plan BDing much... It's usually every day...

We're young, bahah. Maybe that is the problem....

Though I know what you mean about it feeling less romantic sometimes. It's like when it becomes about fertility you lose a bit of the passion and spontaneity... Life is busy already though and we tend to get into a "rut" of the same thing, same time, every night.. *queen of TMI* Yeah. We're only a year together though so I try to mix things up when possible.

I wonder if standing on your head during BD works as well as legs in the air after BD.

If it were up to my husband we would

every day. I have tried to chart my ovulation but just gave up and decided that around 12cd to 18cd to try.
