Friendly Advice Sought

Hiya Folks

Sorry I haven't had the chance to reply sooner, been busy at work.

Went and saw the doctor on Tuesday. Asked him if we are in the 'problem category' He said 'yes' and 'no'. He drew us a fancy chart and gave Maria a time to come back for a blood sample and gave myself a lovely small plastic container that I have to fill - great!

He didn't seem to concerned but asked us to relax more, we've been doing that and, although I had a job interview yesterday which was quite stressful, this week has been great!

The OH and I have been BD since she came off her period on Saturday, every night apart from Tuesday!

We've been charting her Basel Body Temp and it should be around the start of next week when she will ovulate. Unfortunately I need to save up my own babies for 3 WHOLE DAYS for the labs to get an accurate reading/ Tomorrow is my birthday so I could wait until Saturday to start

OH has been taking the mixture once a day (is that enough?)

Thanks again for the consideration folks. Went back to the OH on Monday and told her I met a few pals on the Internet with heaps of advise. When I get my Internet connection up and running again at home, I'll introduce you

take care folks and I'll be in touch soon
BD on my BD here I come

glad everything went well at the docs, sorry you got given the pot!

I think most people say that you should bd every other day until OV and then when OVting you should bed for 3 consecutive days/nights in a row then again after a days break? in some opinions its thought that if you bd each day it makes the sperm weaker but id say bd when you are in the mood for it, the main thing is to not make it a chore for either of you. Relax and have fun which it sounds like your doing

Hope interview went well and Happy birthday for tomorrow! would be great to meet your wife when you get set up, she will prob become as mad as the rest of us, so be warned

Hi Folks

I've a quick questions to ask you.

It's my Birthday today and my OH is planning a really nice meal tonight. She OV's around Monday, so its coming up to that time to BD a lot

She is concerned with how much we are allowed to drink, if any. I like a few beers on my birthday but will abstain if she wants.

What I am confused about is, having a few drinks makes you relax and I know that the more you relax that better chance of getting PG there is. But I do know that the quality of the sprem decreases with alcohol.

Whats the general guidelines on this folks?

Thanks!

i was trying for 9 months and never gave up alcohol. the week we conceived we were both drinking loads every day as we were on holiday, champagne, beers, spirits, you name it! I dont think a few drinks is going to hurt, it certainly didnt me!

Happy Birthday, have a great one!
