Hi! Good to hear from you. Hope things are going well. Are you feeling OK?

Things are improving, slowly but surely!

What programme did you hear your 20min tip on? I need to be careful as am prone to urine infections.........

I am now in the 2WW, not overly confident but at least there is some hope now x

I think it was on This Morning - Dr Chris. I think the feeling was you need to give the sperm a chance rather than tipping it up to get up to go to the loo soon after!
I'm doing fine. Can't wait until Friday next week for my appointment and praying that nothing goes wrong!

Hi Sara I am prone to uti's myself and I always wait 30-40 mins after bd
and have no problems--just don't wait longer than an hour to pee and you will be fine

 

[SaraJewel]

I am so pleased to see this thread! Can I join please?! I have experienced exactly these problems. Im 39 (40 in October so I have missed the stage of giving birth before I'm 40), OH is 48 and not quite as keen as I am on the baby thing but he is doing his best. I think I tell him too much about my dates and fertile times - I read you shouldn't tell the man too much TTC information. My other problem is he is quite well endowed and I tell myself to just put up with the 'agony' as the end result will be worth it but if we end up without a 'result' I feel quite annoyed that I have suffered the pain for nothing! Is that terrible?
This month, we did it quite a lot at hopefully the right times so I am too on TWW. And getting more and more obsessed with TCC forums!

Baby dust all! (need to get better at using emoticons...)

Kelly, our cycles are more or less the same! It does help knowing that others are going through the same processes and thoughts! We think it's so straight forward for the man, I guess they have pressures and worries of their own.

I too am going for number 1. Slow starter. No chart. Using CB ov sticks. Got a smiley face on Friday so I'm guessing I am 4dpo today. Im beginning to get obsessed with this site. It cant be healthy to think so much about symptoms and dates can it?

 

[kelly1973]

i know its crazy eh. i got my positive on fri,we can wait together and happily sympton spot together xx

 

[greenjelly]

Sara Jewel, didnt mean to hijack your thread. How are you going in the TWW?

 

[Dani402]

I don't know how often you're trying, but from what I've read...suggestions have been to give him a couple of days off (just before O) and to make sure he's not *doing anything* before you get to him, so he's built up some... Good luck this cycle!

 

[SaraJewel]

Welcome greenjelly, Kelly and Dani!

No problems re hijacking thread, it's not mine really we can share it!

2WW much better than last time when I was totally obsessed by symptoms, which of course ended in disappointment. I've read that usually you wouldn't see symptoms til after AF is due, body gears up for pregnancy every month so AF and Preg symptoms can be pretty much the same! That's what I'm telling myself this month as I did get too obsessed last month.

Anyhow, we only had one success this months in delivering the goods so I am not overly hopeful!

By the way Kelly & Greenjelly, I think I also ovulated last Friday (this is a guess as I only look at CM) or thereabouts. My cycle is generally around 30 days.

 

[HPMINI]

Fingers crossed for you though SaraJewel, one delivery of goods is definitely better than nothing!!

Definitely AF and preg symptoms are similar! Honestly, I managed to convince myself that I had just ovulated late!!

I definitely recommend the expense of a Clearblue digital monitor. Have a look on ebay. It does help to understand your cycles. The sticks are not cheap but I am glad I got one.

 

[kelly1973]

hi sara cool so were on the tww together xxx im glad you said that as was getting worried as have had no symptons upto date,the only thing that would be nice to get me throughtww is a glass of wine lol

 

[greenjelly]

Well today I had some tummy aches, I have lots of EWCM (but I might get that every month at this time - Im just so aware of every little sign!) and I had a pretty bad dizzy spell on my way home from work. So of course my mind is working overtime but Sara, I think you are right. Far too early to feel anything. Im not going to test until well after AF is due. Why put myself through the agony!!

 

[HPMINI]

greenjelly - I left it a week before testing.
