Let's talk about sex...

[keekeesaurus]

I think my DH summed it up nicely the other night when he remarked "Wow, when did sex get so damned scientific?!". Incidentally, this little gem came out of his mouth just as I was preparing a softcup and filling an applicator with pressed

He's completely right though...since we started TTC the bedroom has become more of a labratory then a den of lust. My bedside table now consists of supplements, softcups, preseed, a bbt thermometer and several other TTC incidentals. At this point, I'm sure if I added in a blacklight and microscope I could become a crime scene investigator

That's brilliant. Just brilliant...I have all my TTC paraphernalia in a washbag in the bathroom out of OHs sight but he knows it's there and it still troubles him.

Guess I'm going to have to get the creative juices flowing in more ways than one! Here's to finding ways to spice up the good ol' baby dance

Amen to that . If anyone knows of any can they please post them here?

You can and I'm with you on that one. I'd never heard of it before I came on here.

Thank you. C'mon, we're all adults here. If we can squeeze a baby out of our vaginas, we can sure as hell refer to sex using grown-up words.

DH said it to me in a sickly sweet voice the other day - I told him if he said it again sex was off the menu forever!

Today, I was crazy busy at work. I don't think I have been this busy in the past 5 years.

I am beyond thrilled that I'm not ovulating! Even though we enjoy each other even when I'm not ovulating, I'm so happy to be going to bed and I have the guilt free option of turning down sex.

So, that's my sex thought for the night! Or rather, my no sex thought, lol.

He he.. Love this thread. I got a smiley face yesterday morning. OH woke me at 5.30am so we could do the deed before he left for work. His final word on the subject was that he felt like a Chinese panda who "eats shoots and leaves"!!!!!! I was laughing so hard at that time in the morning. It cracked him up even more that I had never heard that joke before. He was like that's one of the oldest lines about!! Made me smile anyway x

I love this thread, u ladies are so funny. ok they said the missionary is the best when TTC, my DH likes it when am on top(lol), when it gets to the baby making time(ov) it gets so boring. The first time i used conceive plus, i told DH to hold so i can put it in, it really spoils the mood and is like starting all over again to get him back in the mood. i cant wait to get this TTC over with.

:wave: I so get this!!!! You can't even see all the pictures on my night stand anymore, cluttered with "ttc" things... hahaha

Thanks for the laugh....

I must be really dense. It took me about 5 minutes to figure that one out!

I can't WAIT til TTC is over so we can go back to doing it when we're both in the mood again! Has been far too many when I've 'forced' him or myself into it...

IUI saved our sex life. No joke. We've been ttc so long (3 yrs in January) that DH had developed some pretty severe, er, umm, let's call it "performance anxiety". I tried to be sympathetic and understanding - God knows I wasn't in the mood any more than he was, and all I had to do was lay there - but it was SO frustrating!!! He got some viagra from the dr and it definitely helped with the mechanical difficulties, but didn't help the underlying anxiety at all. The day we stopped ttc on our own and started IUI, though, everything changed. (Thank God!!) Suddenly the pressure was completely off - no more mandatory sex days - as long as he can get a sample in the cup, we are good to go!! Sex is fun again, and we get to do it just because we want to. Seriously, I know there's a lot of baggage in giving up on the old-fashioned way and getting help - it was a big mental hurdle to get over - but it's the best thing we ever did for oh so many reasons! As a matter of fact (TMI alert!), I'm just waiting for him to get home from work right now so I can have a little "appetizer" before dinner!

We had some non TTC sex last night and it was fab, last couple of months my partners shift pattern/my delayed Ov has meant that every shag was potentially a TTC shag.

Was brilliant doing it purely for fun again, my OH couldn't believe his luck.

 

[readyformore]

I agree with the IUI comment.

When we did IUI a few cycles ago, it was a big break not to have to worry about what position I was in, if I got it all to stay inside of me, or if there was enough sperm in the ejaculate.
There was something very comforting about knowing that it got inside uterus safely.

ok I can't believe I'm posting in this thread but this is one thing I think I have mastered so here goes

my very very best piece of advice is to start doing stretches and get limber...it can add a lot ...even to the old stand by missionary position and guys love love love it!

Even if your not naturally flexible you can gain more mobility if that’s the right word by working on it...

 

[NorthStar]

Physical fitness makes a big difference to the quality of the sex, definitely

 

[Tori4]

Omg just have to say thank you for my morning giggle!
Hilarious and can totally relate.

Yay, milty!

I'm not the most flexible of people but I do get an A* for effort . I need to get fit so I think I'll give this a go .

Something that definitely works with my OH is STOCKINGS. I went out and bought a pair yesterday, came home and put them on and wandered into the lounge where he was playing Football Manager on the laptop then went back upstairs without saying anything. He was up those stairs in seconds. Bonus!

well if your just starting some new type of exercise I deffinitley sugest Yoga because it will build muscle, it's slower paced but still burning cals, and your stretching

I've got yoga on the Wii Fit thingy so that would be really good to do it at home. Maybe get the basics and then look at taking a class? I like the idea of the meditation aspect of yoga too....I need to relax lol.
