hi guys

I am sorry I don't respond to posts very much, I try but feel quite uninformed, I have read quite a bit but still feel confused by all the TTC stuff...cm, temperature...I know I am going to have to buy a book and learn it all.

How soon after you see cervical mucas do you try ? I saw it yesterday morning and instead of Bding last night we decided to wait until this morning as I read morning sperm is bettter, is this true, I have a feeling I have missed the boat. Also because we had to get up for work, I could only lie down for 5 mins not twenty, then, when I got up gravity did it's job sorry if TMI...Shall we BD tonight and tommorow as well ? I am on day 14 of my cycle which is 28 days.

Cheers
 
I'm not sure about the answers to your questions. I am still learning all this myself and it is a lot to take in! I haven't got a clue about temperatures, still getting to grips with cervix positions.
I don't think the time of day makes a huge difference, and it doesn't matter if the spermies escape!
If I was you I'd try and bd every day for a few days to increase your chances. Good luck :hug:
 
thanks for this
i know it is soooo confusing, trying to find your windows of fertility
thanks for getting back to me
I am looking for a TTC buddy too...as I am finding the roller coast of emotions hard to bear, no-one who isn't TTC seems to understand
I will try tommorow as well and hope for the best
i did the legs up in the air thing as well :oops:
 
Ginnymarie ,
I've heard all sorts of different things about TTC! I think some of it is a matter of opinion, and some they really have research to support it either way.
I have heard to BD every day while you expect to be in your fertile window. I've also heard to BD every other day bc some suspect every day dilutes the potency of the sperm. Who knows!?!
I DO know that the color, thickness, and stretchiness of the CM matters A LOT. Just having mucus present doesn't mean you're in the fertile window. You WANT to see that clear, stretchy eggwhite-like mucus to really know you are gearing up to ovulate.
I found the most interesting information (besides here on the forum) in those lessons that Fertility Friend emails out to you when you join. I bought a book on Family Planning too, but it's geared more towards AVOIDING pregnancy :doh: .
Best of luck sorting all this out. XXXX

I think i read somewhere that morning sperm is better, i dont think you have to hold your legs together for 20mins, the longer the better but you still have a good chance of conceiveing. :hug:
 
ooooooooooh
fingers X, i had lots of egg white stuff yesterday morning and we bd this morning at 7.00, we were both a bit stressed, late for work

oh well

heres hoping this month .....

good luck, i am going to be totally unfocused for the next 2 weeks same as last month and unable to drink...can you drink in first weeks of conception ?xx
