God yes!! I am sick of BFN's...not anymore!! I will bloody go to the Dr and lie to get clomid if I don't get a BFP this month lol :rofl:
Omg I love that pic Cinss!!
PoP that sounds like something I would do :)
I think I am 7dpo today.
I'm not sure what day to count O day as.
Had a bit of ewcm on CD31 but then had some huge blobs of it on CD 33.
DTD CD32
Today is CD 41
Lola, thanks for the advice. I think we will find out though. DH really wants to know himself and I do too. I've just been thinking about it too much. I'm sorry you have to put your dog to sleep, it's so hard. We did it 5 months ago and it was awful :(
PoP, I only used about 1-2g of preseed. I find if we watch porn before we DTD I don't need any preseed though. Might be worth a go?!
LBAM, it's really hard to know when you O'ed because your cycles are so irregular and you haven't been using OPKs. If you don't get a bfp this time are you going to actively ttc?
Here's to May and all those bfps!!
Good luck this month ladies. I am REALLY rooting for you!!!
As for the preseed discussion from the last thread, I used only a small amount--not sure the exact measurement ( we are out of applicators or I would look), but I definitely didn't use the amount the package said to use!! Probably 1/4 of the applicator full at most? I am still using it now during pregnancy because for some reason, I am really dry during sex--must be hormones? Last pregnancy I was really horny all the time (TMI?) and had no problem being lubed up naturally. This time I am not very interested, and sex isn't very good, either. Weird?
lbam that is such a long cycle.
LOL OMg I love this haha!Quote:

Bec, I think this is a question worth asking because many of us are porn newbies....maybe others can hop in, and I know it's a funny subject sometimes- but what kind do you guys watch together? I have read a few stories about couples ttcing and watching porn together to keep it spicy....plus, and sorry for tmi, but it does tend to get you both turned on so you do have a greater chance at having a big O, and your DH will likely (again, sorry) shoot a pretty "strong" load. But here's my thing- I can watch whatever by myself, which I rarely do, but watching something TOGETHER is a new ball game. I can't watch anything too gross or freaky, kwim? Not that I'm prudish, but I would laugh or be like "Ewwwww!" with my DH and that kinda defeats the purpose. Any suggestions?
OMGGGGGG, me tooooooo! My girls have to be there at 7:20am. It just kills me. I am so not a morning person. Plus, they are hardly awake at that hour, even though they go to bed at 9pm at the latest. My kids are super sleepers, and will sleep in till 9am on the weekends. And I have to leave work and pick them up and sit in what is, I swear, the longest and slowest carpool line on the planet. So looking forward to summer!Quote:

I def. think porn could be a great tool for a boy swayer...naturally get things roaring!
Thanks for the input! I've had a good experience like that also, but a couple of bad ones. It was pretty much the guy that was bad, though, LOL. I think it is good for boy swayers, especially when ttc gets monotonous!Quote:

I have to help her outside with a towel under her abdomen to support her legs. My vet keeps telling me that it's better to do it sooner than later so I don't have all of these memories of her suffering, so I know I need to do it soon. It's just that she is totally lucid and, as the vet put it, ok from the neck up. She knows me and is happy and all, and on painkillers, of course, but she is just old.Quote:

Anyway he showed me the page of videos he had found then asked me to pick one to watch, it was really smart of him to do it that way now i think about it, it gave me control over the situation and i didn't feel threatened by his choice, i actually chose the one with a good looking guy in it so it was eye candy for me too. And yes it definatly got us both warmed up and rearing to go make a baby :)
AF started today
:( I'm sorry.Quote:

It's just not right. Maybe I am not Oing at all. Do you still get ewcm if you do not O.
I doubt there is something wrong--you have had 5 kids already... it seems like lots of ladies are having a hard time getting pregnant right now, and I am not sure why! It doesn't make sense. I wonder if the stress of TTC is getting to people. That's all I can think, because all of you ladies have several children already, so you know you are fertile. I hope it happens for everyone soon!
You are not alone lbam, i was having the same concerns, but from googeling around i have found that it is very common not to fall pg very fast. Doctors won't even feel concern until you have been unsucessful for a year.
Yes, I was told by an OB that a woman only has a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month. That seems low to me, but that is what he said.Quote:

I don't know whats going on this time :(
I'll just go with the flow for the rest of year and if I'm not pregnant by Jan I'll go see the dr.
Hey ladies,
Flava, how are you going? Feeling any better?
Lola, it is hard decision to make to decide when to put your pup to sleep. We probably should have done it a few weeks earlier than we did but we couldn't bear it. I know it sounds selfish but it is so hard to let go :( Are you girls very fond of you pup?
LBAM, so sorry about AF coming. Even though you haven't used protection for 7 months you mightn't be DTD around O time so that could be why you haven't conceived.
Hobs, I think you might be right. We are all trying so hard to get pregnant with a desired gender. And we all know stress can have an influence on conceiving. Hard not to stress I guess. Wish it would just happen for everyone already!
DH and I always watch lesbian porn. I really don't like watching a man and a woman, it just doesn't do it for me AT ALL. Funny you should mention the 'eww' comments. We watched this comic porn the other night, gawd it was funny! We were both laughing so much. Some of the stuff out there is gross though. Cinss mentioned it, but the website we use is redtube. It has soo many on there, all different categories and you can choose the most popular ones, which are usually really good. When we watch porn we don't use any preseed as we don't need it.
I had my ob follow up appointment this morning. The baby had trisomy 22 so that explains the miscarriage. And it was a girl. Apparently my lining is quite thick so hopefully AF isn't too far away now.
Actually, if you get a period it meant you Oed! I found that out in this last month. I was having many + OPKS since Feb and not knowing if I was actually ovulating. And then..Quote:

I have to disagree with you here. You can still get your period without ovulating, it's called an anovulatory cycle. I have had many in the past. Cinss had one a few cycles ago too I think.Quote:

May be you people will be shocked but I live in a country where neither opks are available, nor the strips or the saliva microscope and I searched it everywhere. As my cycles are irregular I was also scared of anovulatory cycles but charting for a few months I am sure I ovulate, just that I have high estrogen and testosterone that delays my ovulation.
Yeah i agree you can still bleed if no egg pops out... It is the worst waste of time, i would not wish that on anyone ttc. Lbam i think you still can get ewcm because your body is gearing up to O for a day or two before you actually do. It is too hard to try to pinpoint what went wrong. With you me or our partners or a combination of things. Hang in there you guys are fertile so it will happen.
It's so nice just taking prenatal and fish oil. I haven't temped in days and it's great not having to wake up earlier and then not fall back to sleep because me temp concerns me or excites me in some way. If I can judge it right I am going to attempt daily for 4 days before O and day of O...tiny bit of preseed every second day (just incase it's stopping me falling pregnant) and I am going go TBM every second day...mix it up a bit and see if that works. I am sick of TTC!!
mommy- sorry for AF...it may be the stress ? When I got me bfp we take it easy for sure no planing out much , I did not even have big O because I can't in caveman style...also that month FF did not gave me O date and my temps looked so crazy like I did not O at all .So it's not like we can always tell from temps because there is not always two phases .
I didn't have that and Im pregnant so...
Bec- Im ok but still sick .Not every day so bad but yesterday was so yuck...tired of it...
Sorry about the baby .But she was very sick and would not make it I guess?
I hope next time it will work and you get a healthy baby first try!
OH gosh, Bec....I hope you are doing ok with that news. I bet I've had one of those too at some point, some trisomy at least. It is so common, and you know it doesn't mean that it will happen again. I am so sorry. And yes, my girls have never known life without our dog....she was my first "baby" if you will. I've talked with them about it and we've had our cries, but they understand that life has a cycle and everyone is born and everyone dies. They get it, and I am glad we have pets for that reason. Life is precious and that is something important to teach little ones, in my opinion.
LBAM, sorry about AF. I agree with the other ladies, sometimes it can just take time for no apparent reason. You never know, there may be something going on, who knows. Maybe the stress, maybe something minor. But also, sometimes it just takes time. If you've been a year, yes, definitely go to the doc. And don't overlook your DH....this is unlikely, because you have 5 kids, but sometimes sperm can change and take a downward spiral for various reasons, things as small as your DH having a minor internal infection that has elevated his white blood cell count, something he'd never know because you don't feel sick. Not to freak you out at all, just take it from me, don't consider that it's necessarily your issue. (I'm such a male factor nerd now, sorry.) But seriously, I know a ton of couples whom it took like a year to get pg with their 3rd or 4th for some random reason. Keep your chin up, and definitely start using some opks if you aren't so you can pinpoint your O well.
OK, so redtube is the one. I've actually heard of that before. I think I may have to check it out myself so I can see what's out there. My best friend is a bit of a perv, and she lent me this dvd last night that she used to watch with her boyfriend, but it was not my cup of tea. A lot of anal sex and bjs I don't particularly care for watching that over and over. She was saying lots of porn is more male-oriented so it has lots of that stuff but you just have to find what turns you on. I'm learning, and thanks for the tips! I think it's a good thing to explore some of this stuff when you've been ttc for almost 2 years and it gets to be a chore sometimes!
I have these AWFUL cramps again today, they are taking my breath away. I'm 5dpo, and of course, doubt we made a baby this month as usual, but what the heck???? I don't want to go back to my doctor, but I'm thinking about it. I hope I don't have endrometriosis or something now.
lola- any good news for DH?
Lola, I def. agree that you need to find what makes it spicy for you! There are def. certain kind of porn that gets me more riled up, and others that I'm just like "really??" and it looks more like a weird science experiment to me.
In my early part of the preg. I was feeling totally cut off down there but since I entered my 2nd trimester it's bee nuts how much I think about it, and how my dreams are explosions of one long...you know. Just nuts. One night I dreamt the entire night about sex, even though i had to get up and go pee 3 times, I went back to bed and the dreams resumed, lol. They never involve my DH....poor him, lol.
Bec, I'm glad you got the answers you were looking for. I hope it did indeed give your DH and you some closure. :heart:
Flava, good to see you...you've been quiet on our due date group...we love hearing from you!
