yes, well, we were making up for lost time. I have vestibulodynia, and have spent much of the past ten years being shuttled from one consultant to another, being given anaesthetic gels, antidepressants to suppress the neervous system so I wouldn't feel pain, biopsies and goodness knows what else. We'd only bd'ed four times in the past decade before last month, when I was getting desperate!
At one point, we were told that if we wanted to conceive naturally, I'd have to have a local anaesthetic late afternoon to 'knock the bits out' and then try that night. DH didn't really like that idea, and I wasn't too keen either.
Finding out about my cycle, and charting, has really helped - seems everything's much less painful during the fertile time, though I wouldn't say it's pleasurable yet, plus we used pre-seed for the first time this month and that's made a massive difference to what I can tolerate. DH has been making the most of it!
This is a bit TMI, and it's not something I'm used to talking about

So - that's why I don't want to get too excited, it would be a bloomin' miracle if we managed to conceive this cycle, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and hope this helps someone else to be optimistic if they find it! (and they're very welcome to PM me).
