cycle day 1 want a buddy to go through this month with

[MrsTurner2012]

I seemed to ovulate on cd13/14.
My uterous felt REALLY heavy and like it was bearing down inside me if that makes sense.
It's the first time ever I've really taken notice of my body in this way do have a lot to learn.
My cervix felt tender too when we BD'd.
I have an app on my phone do an going to keep track on my CM and if we dont end up with our honeymoon baby I can start looking at OPK's.
I am determined not to symptom spot this time and defo am gonna try not to buy 20 tests! Ha!

I'm taking antibiotics twice a day, but I'm still coughing up green phlegm. Also haven't been sleeping well, and it still hurts to breathe. Adding in the fact that my period is still here, I'm pretty miserable at the moment.

Not sure when I ovulate. Fertility Friend messed with my crosshairs so much that I try not to depend on it too much. It changed its mind no less than 10 times before it decided that I would start my period on the 17th.

Do any of you ladies use OPKs? I'm trying to decide if I want to use them or not. It seems like so many other women have a hard time deciphering whether or not the line gets as dark as the control, and I'm just wondering if they're worth it or not.

It's almost wedding time for you, MrsTurner!

We will get pregnant, ladies. It's only CD4, but we will do it!

Hey hope you start feeling better soon, af is still lingering and i'm so over it.img haven't used the opk they are really expensive and I usually know when I ovulate by my mucus and I have alot of pain in my overies.I am just going to try to relax,think very positive and make sure we bd at the right time and not stop before my egg gets released.I was think of trying some herbs but i'm just going to hope for the best

 

[Fizzyfefe]

That was my thought, too. They seem ridiculously expensive, and with my cycles being so irregular, I'd have to probably buy two or three boxes. I asked my husband if we could just plan to have sex at least every other day until my next period comes.

Do you ladies have scheduled sex, or do you just go at it when the moment is right?

Not sure if you noticed, but that was a duplicate post.

Thank you, I hope I feel better soon as well. I'm feeling awful!

 

[MrsTurner2012]

Big hugs for you.

I seriously didn't think so much went into TTC. These forums have opened my eyes.

I went for my final dress fitting today & had a serious amount of back fat. All my friends are doing the usual 'you'll look great' blah blah blah. That makes it worse though. I just want someone to say 'feck! Shit happens' not baby me! I've already snapped at my bridesmaid for doing it.
Really didn't wanna start being a bitch!

My AF has nearly finished now which is making me smile a bit

The baby can commence soon for us all

I am CD 3 I'm here for ya!

Hello girls,

I'm cycle day 3 so here for the long haul too!

Mrs Turner - Amaxon have Pregnacare Conception on sale half price, I think they're only about a fiver for a months worth. I bought two months worth because if I did get caught first cycle you can continue to take them when pregnant.

Wishing everyone lots of

Han X

Fizzyfefe I usually have scheduled sex around ovulation which makes it not much fun but you have to schedule it when the time is right.I can't seem to enjoy sex when I am ovulating which sucks I know it is good to orgasim but I can't seem to when we are bding.do you ladies schedule sex and do you have trouble reaching orgasm?

 

[MrsTurner2012]

I'll order some, thank Han x

I am the same Tristansmummy. Can't orgasm when the sex is scheduled & the pressure for OH to deliver the baby batter is on.

It becomes such a chore x

 

[Fizzyfefe]

:wave: Faithforbaby and Tizy!

MrsTurner, well, since you asked... shit happens. I hope it was just an off-day for you, and that you will look fabulous in your dress come wedding day.

I guess since scheduling sex takes the fun out of it, how do people do the Sperm Meets Egg Plan, or how do they actual schedule it around ovulation day? Is it harder for your husbands to ejaculate if it's planned, too, or does it only affect you ladies?

As for orgasm, it honestly just depends on the day, the mood, the position... But we both make sure that each other reaches the finale one way or another. When we first got together, I used to fake orgasms (terrible, I know), but realized that it wasn't fair to him or me, so I stopped doing it. Now, we are much more verbal in the bedroom, which has made us both more comfortable.

 

[MrsTurner2012]

Me too! Thanks Fiz.

He does struggle to ejaculate because he knows that's why we are doing it. We start off trying to keep it to the back of our minds but I can sense he's finding it hard. So he will do it himself (hand) then ejaculate inside me at the last second. This only happened twice during O but it wasn't the nicest of things. Very impersonal.

A lot of the time I don't end up having an orgasm when we BD but that doesn't bother me. I just enjoy the sex. But when I do they are always amazing.

O is creeping up and I'm not looking forward to sex becoming a chore

 

[Tizy]

Mrs Turner can't believe you're getting married in a few days! Congrats! That should keep you busy.

Just a suggestion but have you tried not telling OH where you are in your cycle? I'm in my first month Ttc number 3 but didn't have to try with the other two so maybe i'm talking nonsense, I don't want to put pressure on us either but would like to get active in fertile period which will be from next Tuesday probably.....saying that he will probably notice!

Looking forward to seeing the ideas.

Han X

 

[tristansmommy]

I am due to ovulate next Tuesday so I am just trying to not stress it this month,he seems to be doing fine with his part so far its me that has the hard time getting relaxed.we are trying new stuff in the bedroom thanks to 50 shades of grey SO maybe that will help us have fun while ttc. I just wish AF would clear up already.my chart has been really up and down so far which is different for me,how are your charts?

 

[Fizzyfefe]

You ladies must be regular, then, since you know that you're going to ovulate soon? Me, I have no idea. I'm so irregular that I have no idea when. Plus, I never get egg-white CM, so there's really no indication that I'm in a fertile period. (This is why I suggested to my hubby that we should just have sex every other day to cover our bases, but now that you all are saying that your hubbies are finding it hard to ejaculate, maybe it's a bad idea.)

I MUST read 50 Shades of Grey! Sounds like you got some good use out of it, Tristansmommy.

I'm still on my period, and it's CD5. What about you ladies? It's light, but still there. I'm thinking about switching to vaginal temps, since my oral temps seemed to be a little off. Also going to start taking Mucinex as soon as my period is over. Hopefully, it will give me egg-white CM.

I didn't start temping until the middle of my cycle last time, so now I'm finally seeing my temps during my period. Are your temps normally higher when you are on your period? I could've sworn they were supposed to drop below the coverline, but mine have been surprisingly high.

 

[MrsTurner2012]

Thanks Tizy. Yeah, Sunday and I'll be a married woman so I might go quiet but I'll be back!!

He kind of knows when it happens as we call it the danger zone (from when we were being careful & not having sex during O)
He knows it's going to happen whilst on honey moon this month but next cycle I won't say a word n just let it be quite natural. Hopefully that might help him relax & not feel under much pressure.

You should read 50 shades but it does get boring & repetitive, I've given up on the 2
Nd chapter of the 2nd book. But the first one is exciting.

I shall try n pop in each day over the next few weeks n see how ur all doing.

Good luck girls!!x

 

[tristansmommy]

Hey fefe my period is still lingering too.i do have a pretty regular cycle but it seems to be acting crazier each cycle.my temps last month stayed high straight through never dropping down like it was suppose to to be on my period.this month though it dropped down to 96.0 the day I started then its been up to 97.8 then back down so I don't know.mine usually drops low the day i.ovulate so I usually know its the day.I am starting on my mucinex in the morning and take through ovulation,I also got all my hormone levels checked today so.hopefully I will make sure everything is working good.in that area.also I started taking b12 today and eating honey and cinnamon

 

[msilverbow]

Hi ladies, can I join you? I'm on CD 6 today (the 21st).

I'm a new poster, but I've been lurking a bit - I thought I wouldn't be TTC long enough to stick around, but here I am, 14 months later...

Like you, fefe, my cycles are pretty irregular, so I never know when I'm going to O. My body usually gears up for it a few times before it finally happens. And yes, AF is still with me - it wasn't until I started looking at other people's charts that I realized 7 days was a little on the long side! I envy you girls with a 3 day AF.

Hubby doesn't usually have a problem performing "on demand"! If I say "we should try today" he says "yes ma'am!" Sometimes he says "how's your CM today?" because he knows I "can't" say no on fertile days! LOL (his sex drive is higher than mine)

 

[msilverbow]

Also, fefe, I think it's perfectly normal to have higher temps during your period. According to TCOYF it's due to "the residual effects of progesterone lingering from the last cycle". It's only after your period that they'll be below the coverline.
