Sperm Meets Egg Plan Chatter thread!

[mimiwc2010]

So DH expressed this morning (after BDing) that he felt a lot of pressure with this TTC thing, even though he is all up for trying since he really wants a baby. I feel like I don't know what to do to take the pressure off and not make this feel like work.

We don't usually BD this often so it's hard to keep the drive up. We have done it CD 10, 12, 14, and 15 (today), and I've done everything possible to keep it fresh. We start great, with lots of PMA! We have only one more to go (tom) since he can't get off work during the weekend .

Anyway, I guess we'll pop some bubbly tomorrow or something...hope we can get in the mood and not feel like "let's just get it over with"...soooo not romantic .

Sorry about the rant and thanks for reading!

wantingagirl and ttcstill- fx for you both

soph! off chocolate? my gosh i hope your preggars and not off the good stuff for no good reason!!

AFM - cd15, no smiley face no ewcm, but slight ovary cramps and some stretchy cm so maybe im getting closer to ov

mamaxm i HATE grapefruit too!! But bought a carton of it today and just downed a massive glass lol.

question- is teming the only way to knowfor sure if you've ov'd? coz it's possible to have a positive opk and still not ov isnt it? would a cbfm tell me if i've ov'd, or is it just like a fancy opk?

You can def have an LH surge and not O and you can surge multiple times in a cycle, too. Unless CBFM detects progesterone, I think it's just a fancy OPK.

It could have been O pains but I just can't remember where you are in your cycle. I have cramping from the time I O until AF comes it seems like. This past cycle, I had pinching/pulling in my left side during my entire LP. I'm thinking this is due to the yoga and I may have pulled something

 

[AreIn83]

I think I about have DH talked into an OvaCue!!!!

 

[honeybee28]

wow!! What's an OvaCue?

dh said im not allowed a cbfm just yet booooooo.

 

[AreIn83]

I should be allowed and OvaCue, it's been long enough. Look at it! www.ovacue.com It's amazing!

Hi there! I know exactly what you mean! its only our first month ttc again and already the pressure has been too much for my DH!

Last night he just couldn't (poor thing!!!) I wont discuss too many intimate details but I think you will get what I mean!!! We started really well on CD12 (I have very late ov) and then the last night he was just unable to. I just hope we did enough to get our BFP!

I think I ov'd Monday (LH surge hit between 4-8pm Sunday) and we dtd very late Monday night (also did Saturday and Sunday too) plus we are going tonight but missed yesterday!!! I tried not te be uspet as I dont want him feeling bad but I guess I find it easier doing whats necessary LOL! it must be hard on the man to perform so much.

 

[mimiwc2010]

...Unless CBFM detects progesterone, I think it's just a fancy OPK.

It also detects estrogen, which is the hormone that triggers the LH surge, and the EWCM. That gives you at most a 5 day heads up that the LH is coming, so you can get BDing before then.

High fertility - estrogen surge detected
Peak fertility - LH surge detected

... I just hope we did enough to get our BFP!

I hope you catched that egg!!!

I understand how you feel. Today, I could really see it in his face he didn't want to, plus I was in a hurry...that just makes it all feel worse! Shouldn't babies be product of passionate love-making? It sure doesn't feel like that!

You would think that it was easier for them too. All the stereotyping on the internet, tv, and movies, would make me think that all they think about is sex, and that they want to get it on everyday.

Oh well, the things we do!

 

[stardust22]

We started off with the candle light, massage and loving and by the last time it was " its 2am we really need to do this" lol. We have had some laughs along the way but I dont know how many months I can do this for!!!

Your right, its not quite like the movies is it! Dh said to me "I am obviously not like most men as I cant just perform like this" bless him

[ttcstill]

Hi ladies,

[minidyson]

Mine was feeling the pressure when I got the positive OPK, especially as the timing meant 4 nights in a row!!!!

Bless them....

Right, but you will only have an increase in progesterone AFTER you've ovulated. Estrogen may increase and LH may surge but that doesn't mean actual ovulation is going to take place.

Dh doesnt have any of these.....ok I think he needs one for his birthday!!! means I can come on here guilt free!! he said he misses his wife since bnb. I am always on here.

Mine's looking over my shoulder now. I keep hiding the screen from him as this is LADY TIME. I told him I was looking at porn but for some reason that didn't put him off. Should've said shoes!!!
