Lovely bump Ny

And I think it's funny that you forgot to say the black market kidney was a joke It's strange that we always just take for granted that all our organs are complete and where they ought to be without thinking that they could be missing or in the wrong places. But it does happen. It's good that you haven't had any complications or anything though from only having the one down near your ovary. Keep taking those antibiotics to keep it healthy.

Great, now I've forgotten everything else I was going to say... and you were all chatty Kathys' while I was sleeping too, with 5 pages for me to catch up on... but I read on my phone and couldn't see Ny's bump pic so thought I'd post on here but of course now I've forgotten everything else.

Oh Sheryl, how neat to hear the heartbeat. Even if it'll be a while til you can get a scan at least you can hear your LO

Thank you NDH you getting that bloated feeling?

Just found this on internet...

How often should we have sex?

Conceptions can occur up to seven days after intercourse, however, there is a significant decrease in the conception rate if intercourse occurs more than four days prior to ovulation. Optimal timing is every 36 hours around the time of ovulation, which is cycle day 14 or 15 for most women. In general, you should try to have intercourse every two to four days beginning on cycle day 10 extending through cycle day 18. In addition, it is beneficial to stay in bed for 30 minutes after intercourse. Semen coagulates immediately and dissolves 20 to 30 minutes thereafter releasing sperm. If the majority of this coagulum is expelled from the vagina prior to the sperm being released then there might not be enough sperm to allow fertilization. If your womb is retroflexed (flipped backwards), it may help for you to rest in a back up, knee to chest position after intercourse.

Could anyone please help me understand part in bold? Thanks!

Thanks NY - absolutely I've already been crazy bloated. Not so bad today but there are days my clothes already feel tight I'm so bloated.

Dew, that sounds to me like you should be on your tummy with your legs tucked up under you.

Could anyone please help me understand part in bold? Thanks!

sounds like you would have knees/lower legs on your bed, and bent down with chest at your knees. I think you could get into that position after the 'doggy style' sexual position. although you would have to try it before, make sure nothing comes out! regardless of if you attempt that, I think the doggy style position would have everything tilted the right way for you. when we do that position I tilt my head right down into the bed and so my body is kinda of this shape... / .... head in the bed and bum sticking in the air. I think that might be good for you too rather than being o--- straight.
when we did it I had hubby stand there for a while still inside to make sure nothing oozed out (sorry if that sounds gross, I just think nothing is TMI when you are talking about this stuff!!!)

 

[Dew]

Thanks NDH and Sarah! I was thinking the same just wanted to confirm. So basically do doggy style and once done, keep bum raised, bring head down to rest on bed, chest will automatically be close to the knees. Will definitely do it this time on one of the fertile days and practice once before during non-fertile time. Yes Sarah, nothing is gross. It's all about us and the process of making our baby, how can it ever be gross.

 

[NDH]

Yep that's what I'd do Dew. Actually I did do that once as I have no idea if my uterus is normal or retroverted and I figured it couldn't hurt. Don't know if I did it lost month or if it was before that though.

NDH: hope you are enjoying your pregnancy

 

[NDH]

I am thanks Can't wait til you and Sarah get to join us

 

[sherylb]

My cousin thinks I am showing. Me and my glorious bump.

 

[nypage1981]

The two times I have gotten pregnant with OH have been doggie style after a couple drinks I never got upright out of bed for a while, either.

Ndh, even my bump varies each day. I remember that bloat, it was bad! Still is!

Hope the different positions work for someone soon

 

[sherylb]

I think I am getting a sore throat or dehydrated.

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, im leaving on friday early morning and back on the 20th of may ..so looking forward to it yes..

Nyp, seriously that belly is not fat, you should look at my deep red stretchmarks, looks like someone cut me straight through !


Hope you guys get your BFP's soon !xx

sheryl yay for HB finally.. hope you are ecstatic hearing it ! im sure you are !

[nypage1981]

Preethi are you rubbing cocoa butter or bio oil or something on your bump and boobs? It's pretty effective!

 

[babyhopes2323]

i am rubbing bio oil daily.. but its of no use.. its just so bad now ! maybe will look at getting them lasered after delivery and breastfeeding.

 

[sarahincanada]

morning everyone!
just popping on to say hi, I have to get ready and go meet my friend for lunch so looking forward to that. this 2WW has been going quickly, I cant believe period is due Sunday or perhaps Monday (not sure as my ovulation was later). Things are much better when you calm your mind (not sure how I was able to do it this month!). My temp went up a little bit today, will post it below. Im assuming for any chance to be pregnant I need it to keep going up? Im not bothering to test so if period comes I hope my chart lets me down gently the day before! anyway will pop back later x

 

[babyhopes2323]

ok maybe TMI, but today i have had two glob jelly like colourless stuff come out of me and i was so worried because ive read of losing some of your mucous plug during pregnancy and that it grows back, but i was worried as now im going on a trip as i dont want to have an infection and not take any meds for two weeks if thats the case.

i called the doctor, well marcus was gone home for the day, so i called this clinic close to my mum, as i am going over to mums tomorrow to say my goodbyes, and i asked the doc and she said she would have to examine me so i have an appointment tomorrow for this stuff. its not normal discharge as i know what normal looks like but this is weird, and more jellier than snot. sorry TMI TMI i know but i had to mention

 

[nypage1981]

Hope it is fine Preethi- make sure if it is you are on antibiotics within 24 hours so you don't get an infection!

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- temps are still looking good...not sure what it means yet, but still looks good now!
