Babydancing Again :-)

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Hey ladies....so whos close to me in cycles and is about to start the BD'ing again?

Were ready to get cracking again tonight and so far, Im feeling so much more relaxed about it all than I was last month....and really hope I am able to stay this way....but realisitically I cant see me staying this calm when it comes to testing time again lol!


So....I really dont want things to become mechanical but how do you stop that from happening when your TTC??
Any tips??

Hey Wilma,

I'm on CD4 so will be starting the BDing v. soon. I'm still not sure if we're going to go for everyday or every other.

Got no tips I'm afraid as this is only my 2nd cycle of timing BDing!

Last month I got the sexy undies out, bodice & suspenders seemed to do the trick got the reaction required and OH reved up!

Trying to get OH to return favour & maybe dress up as a fireman or
cop ha ha!!

I was worried on friday about DH thinking I just wanted him for his cos he's in a really stressful phase at work and has a 4hr drive to get home on a fri so I made an effort by waiting in an outfit I know he finds sexy and when he came home he was the one that took me straight off to bed rather than me making him have baby making sex

Good luck hon...I'm in the 2ww at the moment (not that I'm expecting anything this month as we were all ill and OH and I only had one attempt in the right days.

Good luck for this month...everything crossed for u xxxx

I'm glad to see some women go to some effort...my mrs was like "pants down, and make me pregnant!"

 

[frankie707]

well, bwakeling, sometimes we make an effort and sometimes we just want to get pregnant!!!!

 

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Thanks for replies ladies...and gent!
Yep its def interesting to see things from a blokes point of view....DH and I had this conversation and I said we're going to try and avoid the 'pants down make me pregnant' scenarios this month so Ive changed it to 'pants down make me pregnants please' lol!!
JK but it is def hard work keeping it from becoming very mechanical and timed while still keeping it somewhat spur of the moment....

So were back to Bd'ing and hoping for a strong swimmer this time around!!

So Bewakeling.......tell us from a blokes point of view......do you guys feel under pressure to perform on demand when TTC?
DH says hes not feeling pressured and that TTC is 'great' until he gets 'rubbed with sandpaper' sensations lol but can imagine it could be putting a bit of pressure on at times? Yes/no?

Anyway good luck everyone whos trying again and to all those testing soon too....fingers X's for all our BFP!!

Hi Wilma

We BD for 1st time last night after AF. Even though I think it is too soon to get pregnant I wanted to let OH know that I don't just with him to try and make a baby. I think it does make men feel somewhat used but my OH doesnt complain to much.

I think the way to stop it becoming so mechanical is to remember to be romantic still and remember why you are , because you love that person and want to create a little miracle.

And don't forget tp keep it fun!!!

FX for our this month ladies, I'm really going to try and BD every night this month, even if I'm sore and tired lol

 

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Hey Chelly looks like were right on track with everything as we also kicked off with the last night but didnt worry about getting the pillow under my bum or anything lol just thought lets go with it and you never know we may have a little swimmer hanging around for a few days in there lol!

But yep also determined to keep at it every day till we either get a BFP or AF ;-(....hopefully a BFP tho!!! DH is loving it just hoping he doesnt complain half way through the month again that Im sandpapering his bits again lol! Hee hee!!

Im actually really excited to be starting it all over again this month but no doubt when we come around to the 2WW again we will be ripping our hair out lol!

Good luck tho and everything crossed!! xxx

Wilma & Chelly,

I'm not far behind you - just kicking AF out today and will be BDing v.soon. I think I'm due to ovulate on Wednesday 24th but not sure we'll BD every day - maybe every other so I'm not sure what days it will be best to do - what do you reckon?

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Hey SPC.....great to have someone else so close in cycles....

I would def BD as much as poss in the days leading up to your suspected OV date if you can....we bd every other day for first month and just made sure my inclusive day included the day I ov'd....are you using opk? That might give you a little more help.....Im using different ones to last month and not entirely convinced they are as sensitive so making sure we go for gold every day now lol xxx

 

[SmallPurpleCat]

Hi Wilma,

Yes - was planning to use OPK sticks - got the eBay cheapies. I have not idea what I am doing with them though...! When should I start using them and at what times in the day?

Thanks
SPC xx

 

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Great!!! Well last month I was due to Ov according to dates put into ticker application on the 21st....so i started using sticks I think it was the 15th...so about 5-6 days befor just incase my body wasnt exactly in tune with ticker dates.... Had nothing show up on them for first couple days, then a faint line which got darker over next few days and then on 21/22nd it was thick and dark indicating thats when I Ov'd.....

I tested at 2pm every afternoon.....dont use FMU as apparently its not a good time to test for OPK....

So this month as Ive just started again yesterday, Ive started using them today....got a very faint line so far but I keep them on a chart so I can see the progress and now that the faint lines are showing I know OV is just around the corner....Exciting times again!!

Hope that helps....xx

 

[SmallPurpleCat]

Thanks Wilma. I think 2pm will be a bit tricky - having to do it at work. Will it be ok to do early evening do you think?

I think I'll start on Thursday/Friday.

Thanks
SPC xx

 

[rbryan0205]

i think you can do opks between 10am and 8pm x

 

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Yup SPC, I think Rbryan is right regard to times....any news yet RB? xx

 

[SmallPurpleCat]

OK - thanks. I'll go for an evening slot then with the OPKs.

[rbryan0205]

nope i spoke to my midwife friend and she said to leave it another week and test again then so just got to wait now im on nights so it should go quickly hopefully
