June Testers Thread - gimme your dates

[cazza22]

Cazza, i am doing the maths and they add up. If the swimmers can live for up to 5 days, youre still in the game at 2.5 days. I think they usually die quicker than 5 days so its not highly likely. If you do, it would be a girl i bet, cos girl sperm have more staying power.

I think im out, already, but i am very melodramatical and have pavlova on my face. My cm had dried up, i have no + opk and i usually ov on todays CD.

no ov + baking + upset = BFB.

big fat backside + kitchen covered in baking debris.

Eeerrrmmmm Miss Nat i am not liking these negative vibes!! U WILL ovulate ur just telling urself you wont because u think u have ruined things by taking Soy. I think u may just ovulate later i.e tomorrow or Friday which will mean were together in Fertlising those eggys . So i wanna hear you sing
"WE ARE FAMILYYYY, I GOT ALL MY SISTERS WITH ME" repeats x 2 .
As for CM i have months where there's more than others and sometimes i feel sooooooooo dry i get well confused but that doesnt mean ur out for the month miss melodramatic, so wipe that pavlova off ya face and get DTD as i am sure u will get ur Pos OPK in the next 2 days.

Just spoke to OH and he said he'll be home tomoz for 3pm ish so even if i ovulate tomoz i should get a few spermies there in time? (she says hoping).

And i never knew that about older spermies?? Not bothered what we have girl or boy TBH 10 fingers & 10 toes and i am one happy MOFO x x x x

Caz girl i have the best doc in the world, he calls me every couple of months to see how im doing emotionally. He called today and i got to telling him how im worried that i have no ewcm and that my periods are lighter since the D&C. He said come by the practice and on Thursday and well talk about it more. I also call him all the time with questions that other friends have so hes used to me asking all sorts of funny stuff!!
So youre a cleaning fanatic too????!!! I sooo wanna fight this impulse cause i swear my hands look like ive been washing clothes by the river ganges lol!!!!
Nato thats the spirit! it aint over till its over and well go down dancing!!!!

 

[NatoPMT]

ha

im begrudgingly wiping the pavlova off my face and assuming synching position.

yes get this right, boy sperm swim fast and die young, girl sperm swim slower and live longer.*Just like real grown ups.*

River Ganges shrivelled hands are very this season Vic. I heart your doctor, will he be my doctor and possibly my dad too. i could do with a new dad, my dad is rubbish.

Im gonna dance my way to the Greek doctors

dance dance dance dance

Oh n Vic PS yuuupppppp i sure am a Clean freak, Me and my Henry hoover go back years were in seperable .

Oh and just thought of another question hehehe, Is it true that if we have sex too much around OV that the spermies get diluted and therefore it decreases our chances of getting caught???

How cheeky am i, its like our very own GP GOOGLE i heart it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Caz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[cazza22]

:Throws Nat a babywipe to wash pavlova off her face:

 

[Lawa]

Nato I love pavlova

I am on diet nothing nice in our house except manky yogurts

Ill be asking that one myself!!!!!! Feel free to add more questions, im sure they will be helpful to all of us!!

 

[Megg33k]

Nato - My chart stalkers thread shouldn't be daunting. We're all very sweet and helpful in there! Don't worry about popping in! Next thing you know, you'll be addicted like the rest of us!

If you don't ov till Friday, we will probably be 2ww buddies! I expect ov on Friday... which sucks because I'm sick and its screwing up my temps!

About too much sex: Its a bit complicated! If your man has sperm COUNT issues, then YES! You can have too much sex! However, if his count is normal, daily ejaculation has been shown to IMPROVE MORPHOLOGY! Men who had 36% morphology issues had that reduced to 27% after a single month of daily ejaculations! So, take that as you will!

 

[heart tree]

Wow ladies, I leave for a few hours to do some work and I come back to all sorts of good posts. I want to respond to ALL of them, but I know my brain is going to forget what you all wrote.

Lawa, good luck hon. I hope everything is OK!

Nato, you are being ridiculous! You are sooooo NOT out yet! Maybe soy did push you off a little, but you are still most likely going to Ov in the next few days. Same with you Cazza! I know what you mean about CM issues. I'm always confused by mine. I got a positive OPK 2 days ago, but my CM is all over the place. Sticky, creamy, wet, but no EWCM. My temp dropped today so I don't know if I Ov'd or not. My DH said he wanted to take a day off today from BD'ing. If I'm Ov'ing today I'm going to kill him! Luckily we did a lot the past few days.

Megg, sorry about your temps. Sounds like you just need to BD A LOT to make sure you catch the egg.

Vicky and everyone, I've actually been wondering about this whole sperm thing. They say it can live for 5 days, but my question is, where does the sperm live? If my cervix is closed, does the sperm hang out inside my vagina? Or does it somehow sneak through the cervix and hang out inside while it waits for the egg?

My question stems from the fact that I keep shoving my finger inside to check for CM and cervical position. Am I potentially killing sperm when I do this?? I hope not!

Congrats to the other ladies for their BFP's!

 

[Lawa]

Well ladies no more coulerd cm and were still closed and shut up for shop so to speak!

 

[cazza22]

Awwwww megg thats a massive help huny Thankyou , As far as we know OH has no probs with his sperm count as he has done a pretty good job getting me preggars this last 12 months haha, that being said its holding on to the little beauties we struggle with . I think he'll be home in time for eggy now anyway so im not stressing so much .

I love u girls i mean who the hell else would listen to us waffle on about Sperm life span & EWCM ffs hahahaha. If only my OH knew what we talked about he aleready thinks im a baby mad crazy woman hehe.

Heart tree huny, as far as i know spermies actually live inside awaiting eggys release and they make their way up to the fallopian tubes from there chick. I think im right anyways/??? Off i trop to my buddy Google ..............

 

[cazza22]

Lawa thats great news chick FX'd xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[NatoPMT]

yeay lawa, thats great news from the live cervix feed!!

Hearty - i got ewcm for 3 days, Thurs, Fri and Sat, its now dried up totally and my cervix is low and soft (i think, never done this checking before and its creeping me out a bit). I think a tantrum is in order :stroppyface: It might still happen, but it also might not happen at all this month - or i mightve missed it altogether. I like a bit of dramatical as you know by now. Life's no fun without dramaticals.

on the sperm life, i think it has to be inside the uterus to live for any period of time.

...i know, i know...the cervix can be halfway open during milky cm, so mebbes thats when it gets in.

OR...the swimmers have little crash helmets on and head butt their way in.

 

[heart tree]

Nato, I was thinking about you while brushing my teeth and was excited for your EWCM. I started wondering if it was the soy? I know other women got their EWCM from the soy. Hmmm... Did you BD during that time? I bet you Ov'd and you just missed your LH surge on the OPK. I am addicted to charting temps and would be happy to give you some guidance.

(I do LOVE the dramatics, btw)

Cazza I actually did try to talk to my DH about all of this stuff that I find fascinating. He was very underwhelmed. I even told him Vicky's story about showing her DH her EWCM. I thought it was the funniest story ever. He looked at me like I was crazy! Clearly he doesn't want to know about my EWCM (or lack thereof) and definitely doesn't want to know about other women's.

HOWEVER, he has agreed to whip up a disco signature for us! I was thinking a disco ball with the words "TTCAL Disco Testers"

Any other ideas welcome

Thanks for the sperm analysis (hee hee). I feel better now...

 

[NatoPMT]

ooooOOOOOooOOo discoooOOOo testers!!

gimme, gimme sig.

gimme sig now (and i dont even know how to add a sig)

We did BD on Monday and Tuesday and are on for tonight. We didnt do it last week. Thats partly why i think im out, cos of the ewcm and no BD. tut at me.

I will track without the soy next month and we can use me as an experiment. If i dont get ewcm, i will conclude it was the soy that ewcm'ed me up. Baaah.

Omi had a good fact, she said you can use ACTUAL egg whites instead of preseed.*I am a bit scared by that, but im sure Mr HT would love to hear about it.

Mr HT is a bit like MrT but with an extra H.

oo thats a relief Caz, i hope Mr C is homeward bound and ready to hear about whether a sperm is able to headbutt its way through a closed cervix.

 

[heart tree]

Ok, I'll get DH/HT on the siggy. Will try to get him to do it tonight. I'm on Pacific time so it's only 3 in the afternoon here right now.

Glad you'll be our soy/ewcm guinea pig. I sure hope you didn't miss the egg lady! How often are you peeing on the OPK? I already got my positive and I'm still peeing on them because I think it lied to me. I hate those lying OPKs!

I have read about egg whites, but I'm a little to scared about salmonella or other icky bacteria. Not sure I could comfortably BD with that inside me. DH/HT would be disgusted! I did use Conceive Plus the past few days and liked it.

Cazza, glad those sperm are coming your way soon!

Lawa, keep us posted. I have everything crossed for you!

 

[Megg33k]

I have the perfect disco ball related sig banner if you want it! I can post it in a bit! Give me a few minutes!

Nato... If O comes late because of the Soy, chances are that the egg quality will be better and it needed that extra bit of time to ripen! No worries!
