Stupid to start trying before I actually want to get pregnant?

[KikiCal]

I've been pregnant twice and it's take 2-3 months and one was a CP. I would like to start trying next month because of my conception history but am a little worried. I always take prenatals before trying but this time dh has been on a multi-vitamin and other supplements that are supposed to be helping the sperm. I think this may affect how quickly we conveive this time. Does anyone have advice or a similar experience? Does conception generally take the same amount of time each time?

No, it is different every time. Could be faster, could be slower.

I fell pregnant 1st month trying 2 times then with my third pregnancy (this one) it took 10 months trying.

Did you do anything different this time that you think could have affected the time it took to get pregnant? I am trying to remind myself that timing doesn't matter but I find myself wanting to bd on O only which I know can make it take a lot longer.

I feel preggie first month with both ds's it's take me 8 months this time! I'm sad about the bigger gap and wish I'd started earlier but we were swaying pink so think that's why

Thou cinns you swayed blue didn't you?

[Cinss]

The first 2 pregnancies we were DTD every 2nd day through the whole cycle (i didnt know about swaying back then) This time (swaying blue) we did that timing a few times, DTD 3 times in fertile window, really lots of DTD trying to get pregnant and in the end it was a OHW that got us there. I have no clue why it took so much longer this time especially because i was eating much better and exercising and taking supps, just one of those things i guess.

I'm sorry to keep asking questions but Cinss, do you know if you bd near O or had you abstained for 4 days or however long some people recommend? We are bd every 2-3 days in preparation (much to my hubby's enjoyment) and I'm debating what to do the first month. I figured since I don't really want to get pregnant, I can use it as a test month.

No problem, well i pretty much gave up on charting, opks, etc after 8 months of bfns. We were just DTD when we both felt in the mood i had AF from CD1 - CD5, dtd CD6, CD9 and CD12. On CD12 i noticed ewcm and i was more in the mood than DP so we got frisky, i thought at the time it was way to early for me to O because normally i would O on CD18, but with my dating scans etc i did actually O on or around CD12.

Regular exposure to your husband's semen (as in, NOT just BD on O) may sway blue by letting your body "know" somehow that there is a dad around and it's not just a hit and run LOL.

I promise, promise, promise that you do NOT need to BD one time on ovulation to get a boy. I have 3 of 4 boys conceived with numerous BD every 1-4 days (2 with cutoff, one I'm not sure when exactly I got him) and the 4th boy was a OHW with a cutoff of at least 3 days. Then I got my girl BD every 4-5 days, one attempt late at night before O day, confirmed by ultrasound so there is no way I got it wrong.

Timing has been totally debunked and you can read about it here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/7691-trouble-timing.html

I think it depends on how confident you are in your sway. If you get PG the first month and you get the opposite gender will you always regret not having a solid sway? If you really don't care about gender then go for it. I have gotten PG on one try first time for all three of my PG so if you start trying you need to be prepared to get PG. Like the women on here, sometimes it can take once, sometime it can take months.

Weird question but how long do you need to bd every 2-4 days for it to make an impact. We had a rough December and first half of January (with various illness, travel for work, and holidays) so it hasn't been that long.

Hello kikical, no question is weird, good to ask any quest you have no clarification.
Bedding 2-4days from AF-O can make a positive impact, but no specific time atleast 6 weeks before actually ttcing as long as you are doing the diet and weights training. If there have been illness b/w you and DH, then please do not get preggy now, you have to get well first as illhealth would sway pink. GDL

The longer the better as sperm take 72 days to form, but any time before will only help and not hurt.

LOL atomic the hit and run always gets me smirking! One thing a out that my DH is so strict with even releasing inside me ( with no protection) he's so paranoid I've told him once Im past my ovulation it's fine but no they guy is hard to convince!!

Yes the last thing you want is freaking hubby out I try not to have baby talk anymore because he thinks I'm just over thinking but I wanna stop because I sound desperate LOL.
