you are so flipping lucky to have short cycles! I swear yours are about 2 weeks shorter than mine!!
i think every other day is enough from everything that ive read, fx for you. LUCKY CYCLE 9!!!

omg, 85 kids in one room!!! Thats crazy, you would think that would be illegal or something. really hope it gets sorted soon for you, must be driving you mental.
have you been out on your boat lately? what's the weather like there at the moment? it's coming to the end of your winter right?

ive lost 2 pounds in the last week woop woop. my 'if i cant have a baby belly i will have an amazing toned belly' plan is off to a good start.

just realised ive got a testing night out on friday night, allllllll my bestest drinking buddies are going out. big test for my willpower.

Early O, but pretty long LP so it kinda evens things out some. Still, only a week before I cave and start testing!! Woop woop! This has to be the lucky month for us or I might have some kind of screaming fit.

We haven't been on the boat for a couple of weeks because it has been too windy or raining. The weather is starting to warm up and the days are lovely but just too windy on the water. It will be awesome in summer when we can pull up at an island inthe broadwater and hang out there all day with a picnic and swim and fish to our hearts desire.

Well done on loosing 2 pounds! that is so good, you are my inspiration to get my ever-expanding arse into gear and do some exercise! I would be happy with a 5kg loss. How did you do it?
 
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Jaimie!!!! Missed you too! x
 
Ok.......... I'm stalling now.
I don't want to get ready for work!
 
Oh wow, I have sooo much to catch up on! Love to see the reapperance of the masturbating birds. :rofl: :rofl:

Honey - very proud of you to cut back on the drinking. :amartass: :thumbup: I'm trying, too, but it's so hard! Promised myself I'd only have 1 glass of wine at dinner last week, but then my friend had a Mai Tai and it looked yummy so I got one, too, and then had another mixed drink at her house. Whoops. :dohh: I really am trying, though. The even harder thing is trying to get DH to cut down on drinking. If have any tips, do feel free to share. Also, congrats on your CBFM High!!! I don't have any CBFM sticks at the moment and feel lost. :shrug:

Soph - I can't believe they have that many kids crammed into one room!! Wow! How is it going with taking your supplements?

Waiting, Dee, Anna, Titi, Celtic, Squirrel, Tanikit - thinking of you.:hugs: We need to think of something fun to share...like one time anyone in the 2WW had to share an embarrassing story. Any ideas? Celcit/Tanikit you must still share even though you're UTD. :haha: Hmm, what about who was your first crush?

As far as me, I'm super psyched for this best cycle yet. I accidentally ran out of CBFM sticks, though, so thought now is my chance to try the Clear Blue Smiley! Happily, I found them at Walmart, but was in a rush and accidentally grabbed the wrong box. :dohh: So now I have regular OPK sticks - no smileys, but did get a + today. Getting ready to pounce on DH the second he walks in the door. :happydance: :sex:

In other news, have my follow-up FS appoint. on Friday to come up with a plan! Praying this cycle will be the one, though. [-o<
 
I think a bunch of posts came in while I was typing my post...we must all be on at the same time!!! :happydance:

:hi: Jaimie! Miss you, too!!

:hi: Soph!!

:hi: Honey!!

:kiss:
 
JAIMIEEEEEEE!!!! Oh I've missed you!!! How ya doing?

Soph - I've cut back on my drinking and started to do some exercise. and trying not to eat pasta/bread/pizza too often in the evenings. i never used to do any exercise, now i swim or do a fitness dvd everyday. im aiming to lose another 5 or so pounds.

Jill! Hey girl!! Missed you. ooooh you're oving, exciting. i dont really have any tips for cutting back on alcohol im afraid, i think it'll be one of those things that gets easier the longer it goes on.... i hope!!

I cant wait for my cbfm to peak, i reckon it'll happen around the weekend.
 
Hiya Jill!!!!!!! Happy O day for you! Jill, I think it must have been the supplements that caused me to O so early, but I am not complaining! Looks like we will all be in the 2ww soon. Happy days to come :)

Ok, I really need to get ready for work now. Have a good day, or night wherever you are!
 
I have clear tubes! yay!

Don't have time to catch up-will come on and read up & update tomorrow. : )
 
Titi!!!!!!!!! Your back, and with fantastic news too!!! I am so happy for you, that is great. Now come on eggy would you just fertilize already?!
 
YEY!! Were they clear already, or are they clear now coz of the dye? aaand yet another gorgeous pic!!
 
:wave: Hey girls! Just thought I would drop in and say hey! Congrats to those who have recieved good news lately!

It seems as though my break from bnb hasn't helped one bit... I am actually more stressed than ever about ttc!

Anyway, I thought I would share some information with you girls and see what you think about it. DH and I went to see the urologist last week so he could get checked out. We had been bding every other day, but according to the urologist that is way too much. He says that we should bd every 3-4 days max. But my midwife says we should bd every other day... I don't know who to listen to, but since every other day definitely isn't working I am thinking about trying every 3-4 days and see what happens... it can't make things any worse. Can it?

Oh no, I'm sorry the break made you more stressed. Maybe you can come hang out some more here in TTHFland. :hugs: Your question/ doctor advice really threw me for a loop. I have been wondering if every day or every other day (around the 2 days or so of O time) is better...but now 3 or 4 days? I have come across that before (reading on the internet), but I'm just not sure. :shrug: :headspin: I guess the spermies need to build back up. Did the doc say your OH's counts are ok, and that is advice for everyone in general? The advice I've read has said that if the guy has any count issues, time is needed to build up, but it should be ok to BD every day if there are no issues. I'm sorry, that does not help you at all. I'm just as confused by it as you, unfortunately. :dohh: I agree that if every other day isn't working, every 3-4 days couldn't hurt to try!

DH doesn't get his count done until Thursday. The urologist acted like that should be normal for everyone! I'll let you know how it goes for me tho!

Survey: It Takes 104 Sex Sessions to Get Pregnant

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

How many times do you have to have sex to get pregnant? If you’re lucky, it could happen on the first or second try, but that’s definitely not the average, according to a new British survey.

The study of more than 3,000 mothers, commissioned by First Response, a popular family planning
company, found that the average couple has to have sex 104 times before getting pregnant.

That means, on average, it took women six months to get pregnant, with couples having sex around four times a week during that time period.

"Having sex 104 times before falling pregnant does sound rather a lot, but as they say, practice makes perfect,” said First Response spokesman Dr. Mike Smith. “Trying for a baby is a very exciting time for a couple, and many try to have sex at every opportunity in order to get pregnant.”

The survey also revealed a few other interesting tidbits. Nearly a quarter of women said sex became “boring” when they were trying to conceive, while 11 percent of men admitted to feeling “completely used.”
 
Now I'm thinking of going back over my chart and counting! I'm not sure we've done it 104 times over the last 10 cycles.... :haha:


72 times (that I entered in my chart at least...) So 32 more times to go! :sex::sex::sex:
 
Hey lovely ladies!
