82 BFPs!!! Come ALL November 1st-30th Testers!!! 8 Angels 295 Testers & counting....

[Wabblit]

Morning all,

This is my first post on here so may i please join your thread?

Been NTNP since June, looked promising for October but was attacked by AF at 4.30 this morning

AF next due on 15th Nov so will try not to test until then, I will also start temping this month so will have plenty of questions about that!

GL for November everyone!

Hi Nic. I just wanted to say hi and wish you luck for your BFP this month. Looks like we have similar cycles as down to test on the same day! Sending you lots of as to all us girls out there. Good luck temping too. I started temping last month and was all over the shot so I've a better idea now!! Make sure you take your temps within 15 mins at the same time every day as that's where I went wrong as you will see from the link to my chart!!! X

hey ladies~ can you add me to Nov 15? i am also doing SMEP with home insem! FX it works. Love the support of this thread!

Thanks. Kris

I would say I am probably out for November. I am currently in my fertile window and my husband won't touch me. Too tired he says. He isn't even trying and I'm sick of it. He wants it too just doesn't want to work for it. We haven't had sex in almost a month. I am so disappointed in him

I feel your pain on this! The last few months I've had the same issue with my husband. This month he's done better because I started clomid and basically told him it's pointless for me to take the drug if we're not going to have sex. We've had many conversations and he insists he wants a baby...well helloooooo...not gonna get one if you don't have sex! Ugh. Sorry you have to go through it too

Hey there ladies!!!! So I usually get O pains but this month I am getting them on both sides? Does this mean anything?

 

[Mrs.Resa]

Hello!! I'm new to BnB and i came across this thread and you ladies seem like a supportive group. I plan on testing on Nov. 2nd! I'm so excited and i really hope to see a I'm just an impatient girl so i hope i can hold out on testing before than Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Ladies, I'm so sorry to hear that.. my hubby is sometimes like that but it's probably and most likely as a result of his low sex drive

 

[bdawn8403]

Aww Hun hope you ok. It's so much pressure on both at the moment it's really tough. Have you tried talking to him so he really understands how you feel and realises how he is making you feel? Xx

Thanks. I try to talk to him but he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He isn't a talker especially about emotions. Its the one thing I really hate about him. He doesn't show affection either which is a problem we have.

I could of written this!!! Except we've had sex but he's made sure not to get any little swimmers in me so I think I'm out

Thats awful. Hope you got a little bit anyway.

Exactly. I just don't know what to do. I beg for him to have sex with me sometimes and still nothing. I feel like we have no connection anymore, not that sex was it because it certainly never has been. He has always had a low drive but it was never too hard to get him into bed. I guess we are taking this month off?? I asked him if he wanted to and he just shrugged. I am going to try to get a "session" in this weekend, who knows, maybe since I already think I'm out it, the one time will work. I don't know specifically when I ov because I stopped charting and OPKs to take some of the stress away.

I'm thinking of slipping some viagra in his drink

I don't feel so alone - I'm sorry you have OHs with low sex drive too.
Isn't it supposed to be that the average man thinks about 7 times an hour or something like that? Not mine LOL
The whole therapy idea where is off limits for x amount of time... while you engage in foreplay and such like instead and the idea is that because is off limits you'll want it - not mine he's happy to go without. We still kiss and cuddle and talk and everything else, the intimacy is there just not the

I've managed to "seduce" him 6 times so far this month - I think that's record breaking ROFL
In his defence I think he's kind of scared of what might happen if we succeed at TTC based on past experience. I think a lot of men (even those who are actually wanting to TTC) are somewhat scared and maybe this is what makes them hold back.
Maybe we should be telling our OHs that we've Ov'ed and it's too late for TTC (rather than I'm Ov'ing let's NOW!) and have for fun instead...

Oh how many times can one person use in one post LMAO

I think you could've put a couple more in there!

My husband sounds just like yours. We're very intimate together but the just doesn't happen that often.

I wish mine thought about sex that much. I envy those women who bitch about their husbands always wanting it. It just makes me feel less than stellar and of course not desirable, not like I ever was but even less now. 6 times? Wow. I think we did that the first cycle after our mc and it was brutal on him. You are right about the fear. He did tell me he is afraid of the mc happening again and how he can't do it again. Sadly, I told him, I will go through mc after mc if there is even hope of one making it.

I did text him earlier asking if there was still a small shot left this month if he'd take it and he said yes. I told him since I don't know when I ov, we could still get one in this weekend if he was interested but I told him I don't think we'll succeed. Maybe that will take some pressure off him but I really don't think we will.

Hey Ladies. How is everyone doing?
Not too much going on here. I started OPKs on cd6 (of my 26 day cycle) and I'm trying to test 2 times a day. I don't want to miss my surge. Nothing so far though. Today is cd11.
I have a question - I am using the RiteAid 20 tests for $20 OPKs and the directions state to use FMU. I have heard that using FMU is a big no no so I have been using FMU since that is what the package says and then also taking another test in the afternoon/evening (depending if I have work or not). I haven't gotten my positive yet but my FMU line is a tiny bit darker than my afternoon/evening line.
I'm gonna keep testing two times a day until I get my +++ but I was wondering if anyone has gotten a positive with FMU and also if anyone knows why my FMU is a tiny bit darker than afternoon/evening test. I'm a little confused with OPKs as you can tell. lol This is my first cycle using them and my 4th cycle ttc. We have been bd'ing everyday or every other day so far and we are also using Preseed for the first time. Hoping to catch that eggie. Fx!

Thanks in advance!
**And Fx for all you ladies!**
This WILL be our month!!

Hi Ladies!!!

:wave: Welcome to the thread MAMMAWANNABE and MRS. RESA!!! I hope this is a start to some awesome BFPS! Check out the link on the 1st page to see some of these ladies in action from Oct!

So MAMMAW, how do you think the SMEP is working or going to work for you? I am in the TWW in the Oct thread as well and it has been a task for me... GL

BDAWN and SCOOBY, I don't want to sound secretive or advise keeping things from DHs and OHs as I don't but I speak with numerous ladies on BNB and your OHs sound similar to a few. I was thinking, would it be possible to NOT mention babies and just seduce him without adding the pressure of knowing that you are OV or trying to BD to catch th eggy? I mean, they have already said that they want a baby so... it is worth the try. Low sex drive is one thing different, if that is the case, I am a personal trainer, and the vitamins 'L-Arginine' and 'Ginseng' taking daily are good to increase the drive for men if taken properly daily.... just some ideas.... GL FXD!

IWANNA, that could be that both ovaries are working, I haven't heard much in reference to both sides.... FXD it is a symptom!

JUSTKIA, I am not sure how many times a person can use in a post, but I think you sure got a lot in there...

BUTTERFLY, since that particular brand says use FMU, then continue to do so, but at the fertility clinic and in certain brands I have used, it is recommended to use them between 12-8pm as it detects a different hormone than the HPTs. Also, no need to use them more than twice a day... GL FXD!

Hi Ladies!!!
JUSTKIA, I am not sure how many times a person can use in a post, but I think you sure got a lot in there...

LOL yep, sure did

Also, no need to use them more than twice a day...

 

[IwannaBFP]

Thanks mrs well I alternate every ovulation. But this month its both at the same time.

Finally managed to get OH to properly last night, according to my ticker i'm in my fertile period and i've had lots of stretchy EWCM. So fingers crossed Although i'm still going to keep telling myself i'm out so that I don't test about 20 times again

Hi butterfly!

I always get my positive with FMU. I use the clearblue digies..
When I first started using them I used them in the afternoon but after a point it was too difficult cause it said you should limit fluid intake 4 hours prior to testing and if possible not to urinate...I will keep using them in the morning cause it is more practical. Hope this helped...
