Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[dodgercpkl]

So far DH and I have no issues with having fun at sex no matter what time of the month (well ok.... if it's a bleeding time of the month then not gonna happen). At the start of our relationship, I was the one that was always ready and always pouncing him, but now it's getting more even and I love that!

Thanks Kia, that helps, I think I might have been trying to hook the rim from the wrong side, I also wasn't sitting up that straight, I may be tempted to try again, I'll just make sure DH is about in case I need to send him in again! 

Give it another whirl, after the first maybe two time I haven't had any issues with the softcups

 

[urchin]

I think I might stay away from softcups after reading that!

Aww TTC does make the sex very tedious.

This month was uncharacteristically awesome though - we had some friends around for dinner party, got all drunk, went to bed and then woke up and pounced on each other in the middle of the night like ! V sexy indeed. I hope it worked!

Now that makes it sound like an orgy!

I know what you all mean about baby making sex ... it can get very mechanical when you know THESE ARE THE DAYS YOU GOT TO, LIKE IT OR NOT - but we do try to makesure we have plenty of 'recreational sex' on other days. Our sex life has always been important to us (in fact, it was what brought us together), so I would hate for it all to become forced. But as long as we can have plenty of good sex, I don't mind the 3/4 days of functional sex each month

We went up to Care this morning for our appointment - and we go to the Priory Hospital this evening for a private consultation. Family have clubbed together to lend and give us the money we need to have the hysteroscopy ... and if I can be fitted in within the next week, then we keep our donor

We're in a strange kind of limbo at the minute as depending on the results it will either be full steam ahead, or the end of the road - quite hard to get mentall prepared for polar opposites.

I do love the softcups instructions - only on a forum like this (or a porn site) would you find women happily sharing tips on how best to rummage around their inner portions

 

[Naneth.Estel]

We got our test results back today. Well, we got all but one of the main test results back today - for some reason, although the lab had my CD21 blood and the order to test my progesterone levels, they tested everything but! So I've got to make another blood draw appointment on CD21 of next cycle for the third attempt at finding out my levels.

Everything else is normal. And OH has super sperm it would seem. The doctor said the quantity was a bit low, but that he had 189million swimmers in the sample, which is more than adequate. His motility was low though, 30% but she can't refer us on until we've had my tests done.

Hope your tests go well Urchin.

Thanks for the daily giggle Urchin, I truly hope that you get the all clear to proceed!

I too had a soft cup melt-down but it hasn't put me off trying again.

MWAHAHAHA!! This thread is totally making me giggle today! I've never even heard of softcups, but from the descriptions, I think I'll keep it that way. lololol

 

[SilverBirch]

Now that makes it sound like an orgy!

Urchin - All our friends went home first! Scandalous!
No, it was definitely him... OR WAS IT?!

Didn't work though, AF turned up today. The moo.

 

[Djibou]

Good evening ladies!

Great job on the softcup-101 JustKia!! I think they're worth the try, even though they're a little scary at first

Urchin, keep us updated, I have everything crossed for you hun

Sorry about the Silver

 

[fisher640]

Not that they worked last cycle- but I'm using the softcups again because they make me feel a bit like I'm 'doing' something. A bit proactive. When you take it out the next morning and it's full of or cloudy stuff I assume is them.

I'm pretty sure I Od yesterday evening but I'm hoping to get one more go out of DH tonight so cross your fingers. I'm feeling crabby and pessimistic again which is a bizarre time for that to be happening again. *sigh*

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Silver I am sorry hun

Fisher I completely sympathise, we all have moments leading up to ovulation where we wonder that the point is Keep at it hun, DH once said to me we can give up and time will still pass but we will have no baby or we can keep at it, time will still pass but we have a chance of a baby. Sounds really simplistic but he is actually right.

Well it is a waiting game for me now, temps dropped this morning on 12DPO
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3088f2
I know they are still above the cover-line but I had a really sleepless night (pup kept infiltrating my bed and scratching me up in her mission to get as close to me as caninely possible!) but I figure tossing and turning would have in fact driven the temperate up meaning if I had a 'normal' night I would have probably charted below the cover-line this morning. This means that my LP shortening is still occurring as I am only CD26 at the moment I don't quite understand why this would happen all of a sudden, I thought that a LP length was pretty much fixed mine keeps fluctuating month to month

 

[fisher640]

Thx feisty.

My LP does not seem permanently fixed. Most times it seems like I'm about 12 day LP but when I plugged all the info into my computer once the averager was like 12.7 and I had tons of days that were not 12 so I think it can move around a couple days here or there. I believe I've had as short as 9 & as long as 16. Most of the time it seems a fair bet for me to expect AF 12 days after though. People like to tell you garuntees about your body but I don't think anything regulated by hormone fluctuations can be solid every time.

too true!! Keeping my fx that its good news and full steam ahead

sorry the got you silver and FF i hope the temp drop doesn't mean the is on her way. When i was temping my LP was constantly changing from month to month but then again i'm having IVF so i'm not sure i'm such a good indicator!

Had our 2nd fertility appt and its all go, start the injections this Sunday its all a little surreal but definitely good. (if not a little scary)

[fisher640]

AFM:

CD 17 & starting the TWW who's with me? I think I'm 1-2dpo, I had pos OPK on CD15 but my temp just went up today CD17 -- I went to bed crampy on CD15 so I think it was sometime overnight, we'll go with 2dpo? Anyone?

I picked up overtime the last few days of the TWW to try and keep me good and distracted this month. I'll be working 12hr shifts the last 4 days before AF is due. heh.

 

[Dazed]

I'm in the TWW, but I can't tell you where I stand since I'm not even trying this month. I just know that the beotch should be here within the week based on the cramping.

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Bah she's here and to add insult to injury when I logged onto FB earlier whilst feeling very sorry for myself another bleeding pregnancy announcement from a woman whose fights with her OH are so severe their dog had to be put on anti-depressants!

Good luck Fisher and Dazed! xxx

 

[SilverBirch]

I'm sorry the witch got you too, FF. And aww, that poor tragic doggy! Don't envy them!!

 

[Dazed]

Sorry she got you FF and for the announcement! Bugger off AF!
