Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Newbie32]

Have you girls heard of SMEP (Sperm meets the egg plan) ?

You bd every two days from cd 10 (though i start cd 8 cos i o quite early) and then when you get a pos opk you bd that day and two more days, skip one, then do one more for good measure?

If you google it it has worked for quite a few!!!

Obviously hasnt worked for me yet tho!!!!! and this last month was shite for me cos dh had to go away, but it will be my plan again for next cycle!

 

[Abby27]

Yes i had just read about SMEP...so that is on the cards this cycle. Plus acupuncture, no more cola drinks (BOOO), pre seed (i like it)

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

I tried SMEP last time, but cos I thought I O'd so much earlier, I kinda dropped th ball a bit. I will be trying again this time. I find for me the easiest way to get it done is to tell DH my plan of how much id like to do it, then he doesn't say no... I don't like trying to get him to the bedroom cos I take it so personally if he says no and then I get upset cos I thnk it's time to DTD. I can't wait til all this ttc stuff is over so we can just start to BD when we both want to and not have t plan it...

I agree mum2- planning it is so stressful!! DH coaches rowing for a college team so he leaves every morning at 4:30 ish and since I work until 9pm he is always asleep when I get home so I set my alarm for 4am when we need to BD. one the morning after o last month I woke up right before my alarm and thought DH left already (he was in the bathroom) and nearly had a panic attack/melt down that we were going to miss a fertile day....it wasn't pretty....

Yeah, every dAY I think this will be our last chance. Last time he got home from being away at like 11.30pm or something, I still coaxed him into it, even though he was really not keen...he only did it cos I told him I thought we had to or would miss Ov. And lucky we did, cos thats our only chance this month!


Has anyone watched upp all night? I'm watching it atm while I wait for how i met your moter to D/L...its so funny!

Hi ladies!! Sorry I've been MIA, thankfully feeling a bit better today! slept a bit better too. Still sniffly and have a sore throat but don't feel like my heads going to explode!!

Well I made it to 11dpo!!!! Longest LP since we started TTC, don't really feel like AF is coming but I know it could just be that the vitex has delayed it! Either way I'm happy it's longer...I know my chances of conceiving are better when my LP is longer! don't have any tests at home, ordered some yesterday but they won't be here til Monday at the earliest, and I don't really have the desire to test even though I'm technically late!

Haven't had chance to read all the posts (too many to catch up on & a fuzzy head!!)
Sorry to all those who have been caught by the witch!!

I had a very unlike me moment today! I had to go and vote and do a bit of shopping, I'm tired and had grumpy kids & forgot my pram meaning I had to carry my 12.5kg 18month old around!! After I did the shopping I got back to my car to find some idiot had left their trolley right behind my car! I know its not a big deal but the trolley bay was 10steps away...I just lost it (just yelling "man there's some freakin idiots in the world...why do people have to be so inconsiderate?!" lol!) There was a guy who obviously saw my distress and came to help me wrestle the two kids and two trolleys I was dealing with. It's so unlike me to get stressed like that! Haha...thank goodness for nice men who know when to help a girl out!

Hope you're all having a lovely day!

sorry you had a stressful morning! I know what you mean, it's strange when you are out of character! it restores a bit of faith when people do nice things and help you out!

 

[Abby27]

llpm im glad you had a nice man to help you out...i hate inconsiderate idiots like that.
Also...YAAY for vitex! i think its fixed my LP to!

Ive spoken to DH about what the best method of getting the required amount of BD in. when there is no BD pressure its great, but as soon as i know it has to happen now i seem to get all stressy. got to work out a plan for that. last month i just said to him that this was the week we would just be DTD as much as we can....i thought that would solve my problem....then when i didnt get a positive on the OPK i got a little insane. All that wasted sperm...which is a terrible way to look at it.

We still managed to get a lot of BD in, but i dont think we really had a good time towards the end there.

 

[number2woohoo]

Oh girls....seems i havent beat the witch hard enough!

Yeah number2 and i have been told by ff that our testing date is the 13th September (well this is if the biatch doesnt strike me down on the 11th which is v date...

We have vowed we will poas together (well not into the same toilet...but you know what i mean...)

Number 2- when do you want to start? Im not really fussed this month!

What, we're not doing it in the same toilet, at the same time?
Disappointing!

Yep the pressure got to us this month too, stopped being fun. I was right in the midst of it one night and all I could think was "hurry up... oh shit, don't think that, don't forget 2mums said it was important to have the orgasm... yeah as if that's happening now" - it was certainly a rather off putting commentary running through my head.

Hugs lovey, do not know how you managed to carry an 18 month around! They are HEAVY!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

NUmber 2 - I'm HEARING YOU!!!!!!

night rosie cheeks!

 

[Abby27]

and ive heard that if you arent relaxed you can delay your ov, or prevent the whole thing from happening. the thing is it takes so much prep work....temping, opk testing, then when you are good to go, when the moment is right, you cant help but carry all that stuff in your head.

I spose we could synchronise our watches?

 

[Newbie32]

Night sweet cheeks!!! xxx

lol number2, surely we hsve all been there? Otherwise only you, me and squeegs have...hahahahaha

Ive actually had enough of working this week! My colleague, the lazy, whinging job stealing one, isnt here today as she wanted to travel to singaopre in certain clothing which she deemed to not be appropriate to wear in the office on casual fridays (anyone familiar with flash dance pants by lj?) Anyway, because of that, she couldnt come in before her flight! [sidebar - gtfohwtb] So anyways, after the dramas yesterday im not really in the mood for any more spreadsheets this week!

On the up side, i do have late lunchbreak today at 3pm, as i have my personal training sessions on fridays. Its not bad that i made sure that my trainer was extraordinarily attractive is it? Gotta keep motivated to keep going to the gym after all!! Surely a girl is entitled to a little bit of eye candy on a friday afternoon!!!

EDIT: If i ever do my hair on a friday (i have really long thick hair which generally spends its time in a pony or a bun, but every now and then i dry and straighten it) anyways, whenever that happens on a friday dh is always like 'ah, sprucing yourself up for the trainer again are you'

bahahahahaha
