Testing July 2014

[jjbubbles28]

Hello ladies. I am on my 5th cycle of ttc #1. I am 35, hubby 44 and only do preseed and supplements including vitamin d and coq10. Hubby loves preseed
He says (cant believe im saying this )it makes it extra juicy. Currently on cd3, should be testing 7/7.

Haha I actually really appreciate you sayin that as I've been wondering if we should get preseed. Simply bc I have issues BD'ing without lube and I'm not even sure how we're going to BD as much as I want to as I'm typically pretty sore the next day (sorry TMI!)

 

[bellaxgee]

we used preseed last time and DEFINITELY plan on using it again this time! I am also going to start temping as well as opk's. I am pulling out all the stops! lol

I'm not the only one!!!! I'm always sore the next day too, I don't know how some women can have sex twice a day for multiple days...I wouldn't be able to walk!!!

 

[Maddy_desie]

Haha! I love this forum!!!! You ladies are awesome!!

 

[citrusfruit]

Haha loving all the ahem positive reviews about preseed. As we are being so candid I would like to announce that DH and I had our first 'try' of our first cycle last night. I found it rather pressured, even though its too early for me anyway! I hope that feeling fades with time as it all felt rather forced! Anyone reassure me that this feeling goes away??

I can't speak for others, but that feeling has only gotten worse for me! I panic when we don't have sex close to ovulation time

I've tried the "just relax" route...it doesn't work for me.

 

[CrystalJMM]

Yeah, the just relax method doesn't work for me. It feels like this looming pressure every month around O time. If you have that power over your own mind you might be able to control it but I hate it.....

Good luck to you though! Use the power of your mind! LOL

Oh noo Beachy. Well at least we can give each other some moral support this cycle. I can't see it improving for us either. We don't naturally have sex as often as we'll need to for TTC so it is immediately a bit different. I was debating buying some nice undies etc but wondering if that might jus make it worse? Opinions ladies?!

I don't think spicing it up can hurt, I've definitely thought about doing that.

We don't naturally have sex often either, so that sucks

When do you normally O? I usually O CD12 or CD13, which is next Sunday or Monday....kind of sad about it already becuase the OH Is going out of town next weekend. Hoping that I'll O on CD13 and we can at least have a couple days to catch that egg!

 

[mkyerby16]

I'm in the same boat, we naturally don't BD that often due to a variety of reasons (my soreness, our crazy schedules and the fact that we only sleep in the same bed at the same time 2 or 3 times a week), one of us always seems to not feel good, simply not having our libidos on the same schedule and wanting it at different times than the other). I'm thinking I'm heading to the store in the next couple of days to get some preseed!
I take my last pill tonight so I haven't felt the "pressure" yet, but I'm sure I will. It's already in my mind like ok I want to BD all of these days, how is that going to work!? And it's going to be pretty "forced" bc even though I'm just coming of the pill and have no clue when/if I'll even O CD's 12-15 are going to be over the weekend when I work midnights and sleep during the day so we'll have to do it after I wake up before I go to work or when I get home in the morning which isn't normal for us. I think anything to "spice it up" is a great idea bc then it's not such a chore. It will seem more exciting and like your BD'ing just for the fun of it not because you"have to."

 

[jjbubbles28]

our sex is planned, scheduled, and exhausting. we have pulled off almost all of the days of every other day for 2 weeks, but two in a row? Only did that once. we generally are half asleep the days we are working, but try and spice it up on our off days. lingerie, porn whatever. i too get anxiety for our "on" days, and am pleasantly relaxed when we're "off". heehee

 

[Frodi]

Wow, you ladies definitely keep me entertained at work!
I've never had preseed but I never had a problem. I seemed to over produce cm. I understand the pressure you're feeling because I think I'm feeling it also. I'm all of a sudden very nervous about becoming pregnant. haha I'm excited but nervous. I am 1 day post last dose.

In regards to sex, I agree with spicing it up. We've never really had a hard time in that department but I try to make things more interesting with a different move he's not prepared for.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Hey ladies! I just bought a BBT today. I'm on CD 6, do you think it is too late to start with it this month? I don't know much about it either. Anyone know of a good website that explains it? Many thanks in advance!

 

[citrusfruit]

Well I am glad you mostly agree with me about the BDing being pressured. Beachy I O later, around CD 19, but that is also around Sunday so we will be around the same time this month. When's everyone else due to ovulate?

Maddy I love my BBT. It's great for pinpointing when ov was but I particularly love it for symptom spotting in the TWW (only just started trying but used pull out method before). Just another way to obsess really!

 

[DandJ]

I'm on CD17 (32-34 length) and O around CD21, according to my charting last year and I received 2 positive OPKs one from yesterday and today. We will be BDing tomorrow morning and will be testing at the end of the month

 

[cravemyheart]

Hey girls. I'm ovulating anytime between July 1st and 6th. I'm waiting on opks in the mail, but i dont think they'll come in time for ovulation. So Im just gonna DTD every other day during my fertile period. Hopefully I'll get some ovulation pain to help out pin pointing the day.

I'll be testing on the 19th.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[citrusfruit]

Maddy, I'd def start using it this month. I really like fertility friend for temping. You only need a few days of 'low' temps to see the rise that will tell u that uv ovulated. Once uv seen 'higher' temps for 3 days, u are officially in the TWW. After a couple of cycles u should get to know ur typical pre- o temps and post - o temps. At the end of the TWW, if ur temps start to go down, AF is prob on her way. If they stay up or get higher, u could be pregnant! Good luck!!!

 

[MissCharlie]

Hi Ladies, we are just starting to try for #2, excited!!

Just want to say we tried for 10 months last time and I temped, tried opk's, tracked cm, jumped Dhaka around ov every other day, spent all day on this site and looking at graphs, thought most months that this was it... Etc etc

The 10th month I just gave up and guess what - that's the month it happened! I know it may have been a fluke but I am thinking I won't stress about it so much this time and hopefully it will happen.

Good luck everyone! X x

 

[jjbubbles28]

I believe I will o around 26-28 thins month. Will start my 2 week stretch on sunday. Was chatting with another lady on here and she said her doc advised not to hold out on sex until the fertile time. We were on 2 weeks and off 2 weeks. Any thoughts?
