My first month TTC!!!!!

Today is CD 12. Is this prime conception time? I hope so because tonight... WE'RE DOIN IT!!!! wooo!!!! I'm going to try either mineral oil or canola oil as lubricant because from what I hear they're the best artificial lubricant next to preseed, which isn't an option for me at this moment because I have to order it online.

Few Questions:

Is it a myth that you should raise your pelvis up for about 20 minutes after sex in order to direct the sperm to the party? Or is that something I should definitely do?

Also, the last time he ejactulated was the night of March 9th. Should this be okay? I read somewhere that if sperm are in there too long they start to die. I dont think 2 days is too long, but would they have replenished by now?

Is any position okay? Or should we stick with missionary? Are there certain positions I should avoid because they prevent spermies from making it to the party?

Thanks gals! You guys rock!

Good luck!!!! I had a positive OPK on CD15, so I'm in the dreaded 2WW and it's killing me. I ALWAYS lay with my legs propped after sex for at least 5 minutes or so, just in case - not sure it totally works, but I still do it. I've never heard of those oils being used as artificial lube - we just try not to use anything so that the little swimmers will have optimal change without any hindrance. And I'm sure him spermies are fine!! Good luck and I hope you make a tonight!!

good luck to you hun, have fun !!!

I dont think you need to raise yourself but if you have time, and your hubby wont freak out then go for it! Every other day to BD is fine but some people do it more - my sister did it every single day after AF left until she got her BFP!

Good luck!

I remember my first month of TTC, it's so exciting, isn't it!!! Just going to the doctors and getting folic acid was really amazing for me, lol.

Anyway, in answer to your questions. You don't really need to raise yourself up after BD'ing but it's entirely up to you. If you think it'll help then by all means do so. (I did it for the first 3 months, then got bored, lol).

RE the sperm dying. I think the only time sperm start to die is if your OH only ejaculates once a month, other than that I'm sure he'll be fine.

Finally, missionary position is the best, but doggie style also helps the spermies get to their destination. The only position to really avoid is you on on top.

Good luck!!

Good luck!!

There are things such as positions, preseed all that good stuff to help you out. My advice to you though is to have fun, relax and try not make baby making too much like a science project. Once I realized that I got pregnant the next month.Have fun and good luck.

Good luck

Good luck hun. Here's to first time lucky!

Good luck lovely xx
