Welcome amommy!
Claire, it sounds like it might be pre-ov spotting, to me. I've had that before.
Hi everyone,
Hope you're all good. Well last night didn't really go as planned
We did
but Oh didn't finish off, we got distracted and lost the moment ..... I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. My OH isn't that keen on scheduled sex to start with and I'm wondering if knowing i'm at my fertile point is putting pressure on. Anyone else had experience of this? Lets just hope that tonight and tomorrow are better as this week we only DTD on Monday am, its not likely that I would be catching an egg with that one....so unless we get the rest of the week right there will be no point in me testing at all
We don't have an extremely active sex life to start with - maybe once a week people, but that's partly down to my OH having a medical condition and not always feeling 'up for it' ....gosh have I shared to much here????
Sorry last night didn't go as planned.
Hm, when I have tummy issues, a back and neck massage always makes me feel better, so you could try giving him a massage. Massages are good stress relievers, too, and stress is a trigger for frizzly colons so a massage certainly can't hurt.
Maybe even give him nightly massages, just to help keep his stress low. If you have trouble penetrating deep into the muscles, try a massage wand like the Wahl 4296 Deluxe Wand Full-size Therapeutic Massager ($26 at Amazon) or splurge on the iNeed Neck and Shoulder Pro Massager with Heat ($99 at Amazon) - I love mine and it's great for when DH's hands are too sore for giving massages (he gives great massages but does a lot of typing at his job so sometimes his hands are too sore).
You could also try and reduce the ab strain of BDing by using woman-on-top positions where he doesn't have to do 'the work' (like him lying down or him sitting with his back against some pillows). Gravity won't be working in the spermies favor, but it would be better than no BD at all and you could always lay down on your back immediately after to try and help things along with gravity a bit.
Hope the rest of the week goes better for you!
Re the OPK: Yep, I can see a faint line.
(Now I'm thinking I should get some of the cheapie one step OPK's from Amazon for a morning check so I can keep track of the LH buildup better and use my CB digital for the afternoon check and for confirmations - I pee in a cup and dip the stick so I can retest if needed. I'm so gonna be a POAS addict. ^_^; I have some cheap OPKs from Krogers and I used one this morning to check the line and I got a faint line like yours so hopefully my O will happen on schedule or close to on schedule. My afternoon CB OPK test was bfn, so no O level surge yet.)
Good luck for tonight's BD!
Tizy - Successful evening for us! My opks looked like that then 2 days later it was positive
Nearly there!
Ive just had my first response come in the post. Someone please tell me not to poas its killing me i really want to test! Im only 9dpo! Arghh why is it so hard to wait!!!
That gives me hope, since my line looked the same.
I know when the time comes for testing I'm going to have trouble resisting those early HPTs, too. I'll probably cave, lol
Morning again girls quick reply as i'm at work! Got my bfp opk today, Yippee. BDing will be full on as of tonight. Tizy- re your oh not finishing issue, me & dh often get this, last month I got him to finish on his own in bathroom & then inseminated myself, Yuk I know but needs must!
Yay for bfp opk!
That's a good idea. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Good luck, Robinson!
MrsMurphy, could it be implantation bleeding, perhaps? Or maybe it's just a mid-cycle bleed... But FX'd for implantation!
baby1wanted, my mom has the same problem with antibiotics and thrush. FX'd that it isn't thrush and for implantation!
DH gets performance issues if he knows its a MUST BD NOW OVULATION IS COMING!!! time. I usually keep it to myself and just initiate sexy time and not let on its an important one. DH is use to me laying there with legs up for 30 mins since I do it every time we
JUUUUST in case. It's working out a lot better with me keeping him in the dark.
That's a good idea. I'm hoping DH doesn't have a problem when he knows it's +OPK time because I'm hoping to do the SMEP method and he'll catch on if I request 3 days in a row followed by 1 day break and then another BD request

Hang in there, BerlinBetty!
Gosh, loads to catch up on! How do you all remember what's been said to reply individually to people? I got to reply and think hmm who said what?
I had my results from the day21 bloods today. Not great results, the hormone they test to see if I have ovulated came back as a 2. 30+ is yes, 20-30 is maybe and under 20 is not ovualted, so obviously a 2 is a bad result and i'm not ovulating.- the dr said it is quite likely PCOS. I'm a bit confused as I got a positive opk, so maybe I had the hormone surge but my egg didn't release? can that happen?
Anyway dh has to have a sample tested he's going at the start of next week, then we have to wait two weeks and go back for the results. The dr will discuss with us the next steps, and we will be referred on to the gynecologist if we need meds. Which I will as i'm not ovulating.
Sorry to hear that JeallyBean
Yeah, PCOS can cause + OPK's with no O. At least they have meds you can take to get you OVing. FX'd for your DH's results and for you!
As you can see, I decided to save it all up for one big post after I saw how much I had to catch up on.
I keep one tab open for the reply and one tab open for the thread.
Baby dust to all!
I better try and eat something again. I've been nauseous today with mood swings and a bit of a jump in temp, with EWCM and fertile CP, so I suspect I'll get that bfp opk in a day or two. I'm really hoping to get PG before my 5 yr anniversary Disney World vacation with DH (and my mom, who is paying and staying in a separate room, God bless her!) this mid Oct. I'd rather be PG in Orlando than have AF in Orlando (which I will have if it comes on schedule and I'm not PG). I've got 2 cycles before Orlando so I have my fingers crossed hard for C#1 or C#2.
at this point, so I'm left with knitting like the devil is after me.
. 
, but seeing that some of you girls have/are going through the same thing, still gives me hope that the O will arrive....AND we had the same issue in the bedroom again last night, so I'm desperately gonna have to re-think my tactics! Thanks to everyone who responded about the '
