AFM: more cramping this morning.. Thinking AF is on its way.. Temps are staying up so far.. So trying to stay hopeful!

I'm cd 7 today. DH and I started BD for the heck of it last night. Lol. Today I officially start packing for vacation.

 

[sharnw]

Im cd8 and bd last night. I ended up annoyed and went to sleep angry because it was the most disappointing bd ever! Hoping tomorrow OH lasts more MEN!!

Sorry for my rant

 

[jumpingo]

sharnw,

yes, exactly. MEN. hahaha
i got annoyed with my husband the other night too but that meant there was NO action, so i guess any sex is still probably better than no sex. right?

 

[sharnw]

I suppose
When ttc DD; Dtd felt like a chore Im not letting it be like that this time round

yeah, yesterday i was trying to get my husband in the mood and he stopped and jokingly said, "oh, i see what's going on! you just want to have sex to get my sperm, don't you?" we both laughed and i continued. successfully.

just gotta make it fun

 

[sharnw]

more than an actual "plan," we are just having sex every day (we missed one the other day but it's still early) and hoping one of them makes it! figuring out which day is the every OTHER day sounds too complicated (and too scheduled) for us just yet. we have been living together for almost a year but just got married in june, so we're just enjoying it and keeping it fun BUT, we really want to get pregnant sooner rather than later, so i'm temping and charting symptoms, etc. and we'll see how it goes.

how about you? what have you done in previous cycles? OPKs? temping? everything? nothing? it's so interesting to hear what other people do and their reasoning, etc. i'm a number nerd and love graphs and charts, so am oddly excited about my developing FF chart

 

[macydarling]

Well we finally BD'd this morning! I think I prefer morning BD for whatever reason. The only thing that concerns me is that when I saw my dr for the bladder infection she told me to be sure to pee after sex. Wont that be counter productive? I dont usually have bladder or UTI problems. I guess I have to trust the drs opinion since she knows we're TTC and she said the frequent BD and then going to sleep afterwards is what caused the infection. I compromised and waited a few minutes afterwards and then peed

How are you ladies doing? Are we having a DH rant??? Lol. Love those!

 

[Cheekygringo]

I agree with peeing after having sex to stop uti from happening. Or if you can a shower/bath.

 

[canadabear]

Did a way early test today bfn of course but had to try for dh birthday.
My temp shot up this morning so I am taking that as a good sign. I know I joined you ladies with the assumption that AF was well on her way.. All pre-period symptoms are here, but can't help being hopeful they are early preg/ implant signs. Hope no one minds me staying on this thread? Maybe you ladies will be my good luck charm!

 

[macydarling]

I'm glad you're here Canada! It would otherwise be a bit boring here anyway as none of us are in the TWW yet. I am still hoping for you that you AF has packed up and left for vacation for the next 9 mos!

 

[fairyy]

Hello ladies. Seems lots of BD actions going on
We are yet to start

Gone for my HSG test yesterday. My tubes are completely clear and I did not feel any pain at all when the fluid went through my tube. No cramping, no spotting. Yay

We can have sex from today (not supposed to have sex 3days before and day of HSG) but I am not fertile yet. I think we will start from tomorrow on cd12.

 

[Bug222]

great news fairyy!

im in the same spot Canada.. 11 dpo.. another negative today. lots and lots of AF cramping (its been 3 days now)... AF was due today. Im pretty sure she is just going to make an annoying late appearance.

I think we will try the SMEP this coming cycle. Gotta say though... DH and I have been together for 13 years... married for 8.. trying to keep things interesting with timed BDing cycle after cycle is getting difficult!

 

[sweetbliss89]

fairy - so glad it went well!

AFM - AF finally got her stuff together and left I'm sure we'll start the BD marathon tonight, I'm way too excited! I'm excited to try the soft cups this cycle. I'm going to go ahead and practice using them after each BD even though I'm not fertile yet. I want to get the hang of using them the right way. I'm hoping August is a lucky month. The end of August will be 9 years since DH and I met

 

[n.miller]

Canada - we don't mind at all. Tell your hubby happy bday!

Getting closer to fertile for me. DH is at work till 10:15 pm, but I'm hoping we can get some birthday bday for him tonight. We're celebrating with family tomorrow after church.

 

[macydarling]

That is awesome to hear Fairyy! Glad we are all within dayd of each other cycle wise!

I had a lot of clear and stretchy CM today. Wonder if Im Oing early? Its only CD 11. Bizarre!

 

[sweetbliss89]

Macy - forgot to comment on the UTI/pee after sex thing. I get AWFUL UTIs if I don't pee after sex. Mine move really fast though because I got an awful kidney infection a few years ago from not getting a UTI treated so now it just goes straight to my kidneys. Definitely pee after sex though! I'm trying the soft cups this cycle because of that issue with it coming out after due to having to pee. I know they say that it doesn't matter and the good ones have already made it up there but it will help me feel better to keep it all up there longer
You don't temp, right? Its possible you're Oing early. BD, BD, BD just to cover all of your bases

 

[macydarling]

No, I dont temp. Im trying to do a no stress cycle. I am a bit worried about the kidney thing though! I am having the same symptoms as with my bladder infection still even though I finished the meds a few weeks ago. Now I am having pains in my sides. I get worried because I remember being hospitalized for a bad kidney infection when I was little. I was vomiting and running a fever yesterday but I assumed it was a viral thing since I have a sore throat. Ugh. The doctor is SO expensive and I hate spending money on it if I dont have to...
