Lovely Ladies TTC

This is a group for the "Anyone Testing On Or Around October 15th?" gals from the tww forum. Those of us interested are moving here to form our own group, and to keep within the rules of the site! I'm looking forward to seeing all of my lovely ladies here!! and

 

I'm not really an expert like some of the other ladies on here, but I think that the first step is to try and pinpoint when you O. You can find a lot of ovulation calculators online, type in your info and they can give you a ballpark of a few days when O'ing is likely. You will want to BD a few days before then on the likely days and maybe even a couple days afterwards just to be safe

You can also check your CM. When you O, it will be thin and stretchy like egg white, that is called fertile cervical mucous. If you're getting that, then it's time to BD!!

You can start to temp to pinpoint O'ing, or use OPK's which are like a hpt that checks for hormones that show O is coming.

Make sure you're using a sperm friendly lube, as many of them, including saliva will kill sperm. There is one called Preseed that many women swear by, you can find it online or at a drugstore.

After you BD stay lying down for 15 to 30 minutes to give the swimmers a chance to reach for the egg.

Make sure you're taking some kind of prenatal or fertility vitamin, and your OH can take a men's version. There are also a number of supplements you can take to help with CM, egg health, O'ing, etc. You can do an internet search for those, I haven't taken any myself yet, but I'm researching.

Make sure OH isn't taking hot baths, or hot tubbing, the increased temp can damage his sperm.

Of course abstain from drinking alcohol, any type of drugs (duh) unless your doc tells you it's ok for conception and pg. Limit your caffiene to 1-2 cups of coffee or sodas a day, or stop caffiene altogether.

There's sooo much info out there, I would suggest to do a google search and find a reliable site, like a .org or something. I hope this gets you started though, and happy BD'ing!!!

 

We wouldn't have it without you!!

 

I'm trying to keep up with "friending" everyone from our first thread and now our group. If you havent received a friend request from me, it's just an oversight and please send me one. I think it would be great if we all were able to friend each other so we can stay connected as a strong support network.

This is completely optional of course, it's just for those of us that want to

And... the ladies that like to "stalk" us please continue to follow our stories with as much involvement as you are comfortable with, we're here if and when you need us


P.S. I may repost this every so often so any new "Lovely Ladies" feel welcome, I apologize in advance for being repetitive

 

I could not be more thrilled than to have you continuing to grace our group with your presence and knowledge!! We're lucky to have you

That is the worst isn't it? Sorry you're not feeling well hun. I would maybe take 2 tylenol (conception and pg safe) and use a heating pad. Oh and get your OH to give you a back rub!! Hope you feel better soon

 

I may be out this month. I've been having little crampies late morning/ early afternoon, horrible grouchies, and now spotting.

With my last pg I had implantation bleeding, but the first day or 2 of AF I also get spotting. Just going with my gut feeling so I think AF is approaching my front door.

Instead of about it (which I may still do) I'm going to plan for the next cycle. I'm going to get on FF to start charting, buy a BT, some OPK strips and Preseed. I will also have DH start taking vitamins.

Any suggestions ladies? Any suppliments I should be looking at getting?
