Got 'em!

Whoo hoo

 

[baileybubs]

Yay! Way to go ttc!

Ttc the problem might be too much bd'ing???
I was told the optimum was every other day coz if you bd every day the sperm that is released hasn't had time to mature and you are less likely to get pregnant from immature spermies?? Not sure how true that is??

from babycenter.com:
No. While many couples believe they have to save the man's ejaculate until the exact moment of ovulation, that's not true. In fact some couples become so obsessed with timing sex during ovulation that they actually hurt their chances of getting pregnant. Stressing over ovulation can wreak havoc on your cycle — not to mention your marriage!

It's a myth to think you should have less sex in order to conceive. All the evidence shows that the more you have sex, the better your chances of getting pregnant. In fact, having sex often ensures that the sperm in a man's ejaculate is as healthy as it can be. Storing it up can decrease its motility, so don't be tempted to put off intercourse until you ovulate, and don't abstain for more than seven days in a row. While it's true that the density of sperm in each ejaculate diminishes with frequent orgasms, all that really matters is that there is some sperm in the woman's fallopian tubes during the time of ovulation.

This is not to say that you should have or need to have sex every day when attempting pregnancy. I would recommend two or three times a week.

I agree though every other day is perfectly plenty, but us doing it every day right around O is also ok.

Hi guys, hope you dont mind me joining. I had a mc back in April. Till now we have been trying but not really hard, im feeling now that im ready to get back into it completely.

Im praying for a rainbow as my bfp was after 6 failed rounds of ART and then a natural bfp so im positive that it can happen again.

My cycles had been wacky since then so in gonna start with femara in dec to help o on. I o on my own but only on cd21.

Welcome Tella and best of luck to you sweetie!!!

Morning everyone how are you all today?

 

[cupcake1981]

Still sick , how are you?

Baby jabs this pm, feeling guilty

 

[baileybubs]

Aw don't feel guilty he'll be fine Hun, honestly for us first time was best because they get over it so quickly when they are that young. Just cuddle him tightly afterwards and he'll be ok.

Boo to still feeling poop Hun! Are you taking anything for it, I know with pumping there's not a great deal you can take is there?

I've woken up today super excited about this pregnancy, not that I wasn't already, I was just a little shocked and anxious but today I'm feeling like it's finally sunk in and I'm looking forward to adding another little one to our family! Df is so excited, he keeps being more loving! He was sending me texts telling me that I'm the reason he wants to be a better man (and it made me cry, but I also cried at the muppet movie yesterday lol).

I made sure I emptied the toilet bin in case my parents put anything in there and spot the ICs and digi when they visit today, and I've just noticed that I left my pregnacare on the coffee table in plain sight lol!

Other than the docs are you doing anything today or just staying warm indoors?

 

[Espero]

Hello lovely ladies!

Sorry I've been crap - manic couple of weeks but had to drop in to report:

Sore bbs, on and off.
Woke up at 05:30 to upchuck...

Due on tomorrow....

Espero xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Ooooh do we have another BFP espero?? They tend to come along like buses on this thread so here's hoping there's a few more!! When are you testing? Please test today lol!!

 

[Espero]

I will test today, I think. Scared witless though...

 

[Tella]

Hi tella and welcome! Of course you can join us, we have a randomness mix of ttc, pregnant ladies and new mummies in here and we are all very chatty lol!

Thanks always great to be apart of a diverse group as it gives hope to see the preggies and faith to see the babies

Hi tella, welcome to the group, I hope you get your sticky bfp very soon

Bailey have you made a drs appointment yet?

All I fancied to eat for the first tri was pasta or bread

Thanks I really hope so too!

Thanks

So to the successful ladies, did you do anything different to get your BFPs? All ways interesting to see everyones success recipes

 

[baileybubs]

Have you tested yet espero?

Tella with Emilia I used preseed and we were doing smep method (dtd every other day from about cd8) but with this one it was a surprise so I couldn't tell you except we only dtd once a few days after O (or so I thought, I must have got my fertile days wrong!).

 

[MrsDuck]

Espero I want to see another bfp

Tella we pretty much did the same as bailey, every other day bd'ing from cd 8

Cupcake sorry you still feel pants, I hope zachs jabs went ok

Bailey aw I'm glad you and df are so excited

 

[cupcake1981]

Espero I reckon you're gonna get a bfp!

Bailey he broke my heart when he cried. We gave him some calpol but he spat some of it out. He's a bit Grizzley but not too bad. After he had the oral medicine he wanted more lol! No I can't take anything other than paracetamol cos I'm still pumping. I said last week I was going to give it up at 8 weeks but I've got another donperidone prescription tonight as I'm drying up again so looks like I was kidding myself I would quit yet. I just can't bring myself to. With us all being ill I want him to carry on having my milk and my antibodies.

Yey for being excited about your pregnancy, it's a wonderful thing xxx

Tella we just used opks and a little preseed. I used digi opks for my 3rd pregnancy to double check I was O. Also, legs in the air after BD

 

[baileybubs]

Oh yeah forgot that one cupcake legs in the air!

Aw bless poor little Zach! Hope he's ok for you now the poor little sausage! Go you for still pumping though Hun that's awesome! I'm debating whether to pump or this little one but dunno how hard that will be time-wise with having Emilia running around by then as well!

Mrs d any news on a buyer yet?

Did any of you feel anxious and nervous for no reason during first tri, and I don't mean like a general anxious I mean like you'd feel before you did your driving test or before a job interview? I keep feeling like that for no reason and all I can chalk it up to is hormones! Plus my baby brain is sooooo bad! I was turning right into df's work car park and indicated left, and didn't even notice til df told me!

 

[Espero]

Thanks ladies

Will test either tonight or tomorrow.

Been knackered and headachey today - there again it's been a bloody long one!

Nerves.... nerves...

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey there's no way I will have the time to pump for no 2, it'll be from the boob or nothing. It's so time consuming, I struggle with just Zach.

I think I felt anxious my whole pregnancy tbh!! It still hadn't sunk in your preg!!

 

[baileybubs]

Espero I'm on pins!!! I really hope you are gonna be my bump buddy!

Cupcake I think it's only just properly sunk in for me, I'm anxious but not about anything going wrong with the pregnancy coz for some reason I just feel like it's all gonna be ok. I just feel like I have butterflies permanently and want df to hug me all the time!
And I figured it might be too hard to pump with 2 LOs. Might just try the boob and if it's too hard then pump whilst in hospital then go onto formula which is what I did with Emilia.
