We're all in this together!

[sarahuk]

Tis catch up time ladies....sorry for any incoming spammage! x

 

[sarahuk]

My god...ladies..make this heat bugger off! I am so freaking fed up of it already. Laid on the bed atm and feel like im stuck to the top of it!!

Had a paed appointment today for Alex which went well! He is now confirmed 100% milk allergic and that he has severe reflux disease. But they are happy with the progress he has made with the allergy milk so there will be no invasive testing etc! So proud of my lttle trooper

AF is still in the building. Definitely feeling more relaxed about ttc no2 now. We saw so many sick children today waiting for chemo. Really hammers home about how short life can be and to not spend time worrying about non important things. Going to embrace whatever nature throws at me.

Both of my girls were milk in tollerant - with projectile vomit. My oldest also caught croup after she received the needle at 2 months for it. she was in an
incubator for almost a month too. Just thought I would share, it wasn't fun, her father and i were not together at the time, needless to say it was stressfull and we got "together" for like a night and that's how my youngest came about LOL.

BTW - Glad I can make you laugh sugar

Oh noes honey..sounds like you must have gone through a rough time with the little ones How old were they when they grew out of it?

Oh wow at daughter no2! LOL! Either he super sperms or youre a seriously fertile freda!! x

 

[sarahuk]

So it looks like im leaving to go at 7am, I won't reach there till 5pm.

So here's the question for all you ladies, this time should we BD everyday like we did last time, every other day or 2x's a day.

We have been kind of wondering whether or not he has low (love this guy) So I've been reading every other to help it rebuild, but dam I tell you it's hard to keep our hands off when you know your only getting some for 1 week, and haven't had any for 2 weeks (plus Oing always makes me well......wanting to put more quarter into the bull then the bull can hold) HAHAHAHAHAHA

anyhow, what do you think, we also have been using the pre-seed, if you have enough of the ewcm do you really need to use it? or is it the more the merrier... If he is low wouldn't some of them get lost in the joy ride.







Let me know what you think... Night everyone!! I have a 10 hour drive and at least 15 whole minutes of the first round of the BD to do tomorrow.

YAY!!! So happy that you are going! Please be safe on the car jourey hun.

Its hard to say about the sex frequency. On a personal level, you name it, we tried it lol. All I can say is that the three cycles I have conceived in my life, all three times we had sex every day through the window. The first and third we had atleast one day in that window when we went multiple times. This one with Alex, we were celebrating our anniversary and went on a bit of a f**k frenzy (forgive my french!) and went 4 times in the day 2 days before my ovulation

Bull...haha! God girl...I have to say..I LOVE YOU! LOL...you make me giggle so much!!

Ok serious questions aside...what makes you think he has low sperm count? There are things that you can have him take that will assist you with the spermies. For one, folic acid is good for men (I was so surprised to find this out!). Get him to also take a 1000mg vitamin c pill every day, and theres also something called Selenium (think that is how its spelled) that can also help make the sperm better quality.

Preseed is one of those things that doesnt harm ttc whether you have ewcm or not. I had no issues with the CM but we did try the preseed Its supposed to make things more sperm friendly and help it live longer/get on its way, so I dont think it will harm to use it. Id recommend not using the noted 3g application amount tho. I found that sooooo overkill. About 1g is a perfect dose if you find the 3g too much like swingling a cat in a carwash ^^

xx

Phew, Im here, I arrived at 6:30 last night.... I have PUMPED him full of drugs LMAO he is on (for a month now)
1. 1000mg of Vit C
2. 500mg of Vit E
3. A Multi Vit
4. 6000mg of L-Argine
5. 200mg of CoQ-10
6. 50mgs of Zinc
7. 200mg of Tongkat Ali (aka: testo Jack)

We've used preseed last month was the first time only cause we were BDing all the time 2x's a day and i was drying up and that is odd for me, my Libdo is so high that I normally am the one getting told " not tonight" I've heard every excuse i bet known to man. HA!!!

I was on the prenatal Vits but then i hear that too much Vit C will decrease your chance of conceiving( Plus the iron doesn't like my bowels couldn't shit for a week) So now I am eating children's gummies, - without iron. so much more fun and yummy.

DH and I deceided to go with once a day and see how that goes - he said at the end of it last month he could no longer feel his penis - soooooooo I guess that means to stop acting like it's a pogo stick and use it more like my personal pet that can be broken - like the book of "mice and men" when Lenny was petting the puppy to hard and snapped his neck,

WoW ^ that was a little graphic LOL, i get a bit wreakless during this time of month.

Anyhow - I found at times that even using 1mg of the preeseed was too much but what do you do.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Oh my GOD...I laughed so hard at this update Sounds like you have all the bases covered my darling! I found myself wondering if his pee is still pee colour with all youre pumping him with lol! x

 

[sarahuk]

Ok, I pee'd on a stick last night and I got a neg on the OPK, but man all day yesterday I've had EWCM and twice i had some pinkish blood to it. I never have that. --- I can't see it being that I O'd cause of the OPK result, and i would have been about 5 days early; can't see me being pregnet either, I had a very pretty period this month - nice bright pink and red. this month and last they have been like this, soooooo nice to see. I thought because of my age that the dark brown old blood is all i will ever see until i don't see it no more. anyhow - it was nice too see it again; if that makes sense.

Oi enough with the age comments!! Youre 35 not 65! And im only 2 years behind!

EWCM is estrogen triggered whilst opks are triggeres by LH. One will start to build to trigger the other so eqcm can start a litle earlier. I see on your chart that youre still getting positive opks with it which is good..just keep doing the nasties and using the opks till they go neg! x

 

[sarahuk]

Try sitting in an office with no air con, no breeze, in black trousers, full length, sucks! Lol

Bless ya hunni, life is far too short xxx

So here's a question is Keeping things cooler only for men and their "boys", I'd look into it and tell your boss you need a fan for under the desk and you no longer can wear pants cause they are to constrictive. LMAO

Hahahahaha! Do it Laura!

 

[sarahuk]

Hi again everyone,

I haven't much news ATM....I'm cd2 so waiting about lol...... Will start opk,s cd10

I like th idea of fans....with heat waves will our DH s have less sperm?

Myself an my DH my dad mum a whole lot of others have spent the evening bringing in hay!

I like 20yearslater idea....I think DTD everyday is what I'm going to do.

When I got pregnant we only DTD Monday and Friday of my fertile week so was shocked at a BFP


Do you guys think DTD everyday Is better?

Technically it only takes one sperm during the fertile window so as long as you have sex, its covered. I dont know if doing it daily is better (I suppose as long as there is no sperm count issues etc then the more the merrier) but for me i always preferred every other day or daily because then i felt like i was doing as much as i possibly could to maximise the chances x

 

[sarahuk]

Hey Chasta, sorry to hear you lil lady was very poorly glad she's ok now though and number 2 arrived

Bits sound good, my oh doesn't take anything, think I may need to do the whole 'smoking reduces sperm count' chat again

Lol at the fan remark! Ting is I know the top boss wouldn't object to no pants! When we asked if we could have a uniform he said only if its was short skirts and tight tops! Dirty pig!

Glad you got to DH safe and sound too FX'ed you ov and catch that egg!

Natt hunni glad you liked it

C.m.c I've never thought of that! I guess it could affect it! :O that's all we need! Lol my DF sweats loads as it is at night let alone in this heat!

FX'ed for this cycle for you

I'd say no more than once a day, we tend to go with every other day else by about day 4 we're both knackered and just want to cuddle! Lol gotta be into it else it gets dull xxx

Matts smoking is exactly why i had him on the selenium and vitamin c as it helps to imrove sperm health

Backfired when his analysis came back perfect tho..he stopped taking em an di was hoping i could pull the "quitting will get me pregnant!" route but it didnt work either lol x

 

[sarahuk]

Laura....you're right DTD everyday gets crazy!!

I think I'm going to try the sperm meets egg programme EDIT....it's plan not programme sorry! SMEP

Well il see how our work patterns fir out.

It's so much harder when a toddler is here....by the time I get her to bed I'm wrecked.

Hope you all ave a good weekend, it's a bank holiday in Northern Ireland tomorrow

Hope u had a lovely bank holiday!

Im knackered with a 3month old let alone a todder...ill be surprised if i ever get pregnanta gain at this rate lol x

 

[sarahuk]

I've not read anything about the SMEP, can you explain please hun??

I've heard people say theyre going to use it but dont know what it is

I know that feeling! I normally pass out just after Oscar goes to bed! Bottles get sterilised and i go to bed! lol

Wedding shopping for me today and hopefully a BBQ with our friends and they children later then photoshoot tomorrow morning followed by afternoon tea for me and my hens

have a fab bank holiday hunni xxx

Ohhhh wants piccies please!!

I tried Smep..did it for 6 months and didnt work for me

 

[sarahuk]

So since I got home from shopping Simon has been coming onto me, our folks came round for a BBQ as my friend is poorly and even then while they're sat in the garden with Oscar he's inside touching me up, we finally get them to leave and Oscar to bed, go to bed to DTD, he starts foreplay then falls a fucking sleep!!! Not at all impressed! I got up and came downstairs! Hope the witch hits tomorrow and I can deny him sex for at least a week! Teach him a lesson! Xx

typical men!!! I hope that you have been able to teach him a lesson since for being naughty! x

Oh wow at daughter no2! LOL! Either he super sperms or youre a seriously fertile freda!! x

Well, DD#1 took her until she was 3 or a little older to grow out of the milk intolerance, my youngest she was 2. Becuase they were 11 months apart they were out of it at the same time.

I was young, so was he, both girls by 18 - You are also really fertile right after giving birth - that was me, I thought i was going crazy both girls were colic as well and i was a single mom, needless to say when my youngest was born their father was no where to be found... Sigh they are all grown up now (for the most part) Oh Except their father; he's back living at mommy and daddy's house * WTF was I thinking...... I guess I'll blame it on my age back then.

 

[Excalibur]

Chasta - You can get more than one positive OPK xx

 

[sarahuk]

Amen to that!!!!

he can't moan when we dont conceive!!

EWCM has dried up now so im wondering if that was ov, blood and EWCM, if so we'll have missed the egg as we hardly DTD at all xx

Hardly is a lot different to none at all chick x

 

[sarahuk]

YAY!!! -- I got my OPK 1st positive today. It's a little late but better then never right?

Laura - I would have dumped water on him before going downstairs. What a brat.

ALWAYS a celebration time!! Im starting them today..hopefully i dont have a 2wk cycle again and i see a pos opk this time around so i can celebrate with you : x

 

[sarahuk]

What happened there, My temp didnt' dip, it just jumped.... and not very high. I havent' pee'd on a stick yet today, - I no longer NEED sex, still going to do it for good measure, but did i really O yesterday?

Oh and BTW- I started to eat pineapple core, too heard it was supose to help with implantation.


Anyone know if you've o'd would you still get a second positive on the OPK?

Yep its very possible if your last opk basically picked up the end of the surge of hormone. It can come back with a positive Unfortunately, theres no way to be 100% sure till we see what your next temp does. I always say keep bump n grinding until the opks go negative and you see a temp drop.

The reason i say this is because i spent months stopping sex after my pos opk and first temp rise. We later found out that it wasnt unusual for me to have 5 days of positive opks and -then- drop the egg. And ofc i wasnt having sex then so no bfp

Remember that we can have days of psoitive opks because the ovary can get ready to release the egg but it can get delayed, thus why we can have days of them going +. This is why i think opks alone are not enough to determine whether youve ovulated or whether youre out of the fertile window yet x

Bless them Did you have the allergy milk for them?

My mum got prego with my sis at 18. Two at 18 bloody hell sounds like hard work! Obviously you have done a wonderful job at raising your princesses though. Does the dad have any contact with them now? Cant have been easy raising them alone x

 

[sarahuk]

Please make this heat bugger off!

Sigh..having a right stress triying to work out how to make a cot fit in the bedroom...Alex is waving his arms and feets around too much, banging the side of his moses basket and waking himself up!

Starting opks today for the next week! Do I want a positive or not hmm...! x

hahahaha, IKR - he says it a bright yellow, his cum is an off white yellowish tingue to it too. is that normal? He's always been that colour(cum) my X of 13yrs was fixed so i have no idea what is normal sperm? So I guess my question is - is a yellowed tingue normal/off white?

YAY!! I hope so too. I was starting to get a bit upset with the no show of the LH surge, DH tells me though when i came out of the bathroom with the Positive reading he told me that you would have thought it was a prego test LOLOLOL I was that happy.

OH MY GOODNESS - You have no idea how much better I feel after reading this. The only problem is... I am supose to leave by wed. here's hoping the egg drops soon.
