Shall I have a bath or not?

[maybe baby]

Hi Girls,

So I got my OV today, BD'd earlier and I really fancy a long soak in the tub now as I'm so achy from the gym.

Shall I go for it or will the swimmers get washed away?

ha! MB this made me laugh, what we ttc'ers worry about is hilarious!! i have heard that you should have showers rather than baths when ttc, something to do with body temparture - but i'm sure that is a load of cr*p! i always want a bath around the time of ov rather than a shower, go for it, i really believe it makes zero difference! xx

Your safe having a bath hun, I prefer baths to showers and didn't do me any harm as the wee men are too far up anyway x

Ha Ha, this is a bit of a daft post isn't it? Lol!

Anyway, I had a bath and then BD'd again after so I think I'll have it covered!

Oh dear! I would have said absolute opposite from everyone else!

I love my baths and would lie in one for hours every day if i could (and i missed them sooo much when pregnant and having to be really careful and stuff). But....... I would certainly not have one same day as BDing! Surely it would wash loads of it out? If we have BD then I avoid a bath that day to be on the safe side. Totally minging but i want to give swimmers the best chance possible, not swill in a load of water!

Anyway, just thought i'd throw in my 2 pence worth as I would have said different to others x

Hi Starfish!

Hope you're doing ok.

I'm not too achy today so I'll be good!

I usually bath most days, and thoroughly enjoy it, but Im on month 7 of ttc now, and just this month I have wondered if the baths make a difference? So this month I have been staying away from the bathtub during the 'fertile phase' and when bd'ing and showering instead. We shall see if it makes any difference!?

i got my dance classes covered for the day last month after we BD on my high fertile day because i didnt want to shower or bath (disgusting i know) and risk washing them away! but couldnt go and teach children to dance all stinky! so i got the classes covered and stayed home doing paperwork with my legs in the air!!! ooops!!!
i did get pregnant though?!!! and will probably do the same again this time!! quite superstitious, and if it worked last time i am willing to stay stinky and type upside down on my laptop for a day!!
