Well, as I said, we are ok in that department! Unfortunately my plan of BDing 4 days before and after Ov just to be on the safe side hasn't resulted in a pg this month (probably - no signs WHATSOEVER and AF due like Now)

hmmm.....never give up hope.....i try my best to refer to a cycle as in XXX weeks as apposed to next month.....doesn't seem to long that way!!!!

Fingers crossed that stays away!!!!

Just wanted to add, me and oh are more like you butterflies.. i have a higher sex drive and oh works long hours... still, after the mc i know he's as keen as me to get pg again.

having said that, he is a man, strong silent type and i know he doesnt appreciate me going on about all the ttc stuff.. but i have a big mouth and can never shut up!! LOL!

Since, we've already gotten pg there's no point in acting as if bd'ing is anything but what it is.. we're trying to make baby, obviously..having said that, we thoroughly enjoy it nonetheless,,how can you not, lol

I know for a fact its worse for him than me..i can afterall just lie there in a coma if i so chose, ha, ha..

he now basically just says for me to tell him when and thats that.

Also, i would suggest getting a cbfm as well.. opk's are so fiddly and all that trying to interpret them is so stupid. I also have given up on the temping- as again its so tireing and time consuming..i just poas when the the cbfm tells me to and and then reads the results..I totally credit it with getting me pg first time around.

Good luck, chicken, with whatever you decide to do..and id say the advice so far is great, but in the end only you know what works for you.. xxx

Thanks Omi, so all in all the CBFM is easiest and perhaps would be a good first step in the technical direction for me & DH?

Yes my DH is the strong silent type!!!!!! Typical male!!!!

I defenitely would suggest getting one.. and then you can go from there. Are your cycles regular and of normal length? Mine are an average of 31 days and ive always been very regular.

You can get 'cheap' ( in boots its like £99, so half off or 2/3 of the price online is not bad) cbfm's on ebay..thats where i got mine after your first cycle where it asks for all 20 sticks in a pack it will know your cycle, and only ask for 10 so 1 pack will last 2 months..

My OH is lovely, but the ttc and symptoms all happens in my body so i dont expect him to get as crazy as i do, lol!!


Good luck and please feel free to ask me for advice if you decide to get one! xxx

Ok.....i think thats the best way to go, TBH, i want a baby but i don't think i can trust myself to temp everyday at the same time.....i'd try if needs be but can't guarantee it!!!

So all in all which is the best to buy & where from? thanks

My OH doesn't want me talking about TTC, when I OV ect as, he feels it puts too much pressure on both us it wont happen. He just says tell him when I want it and he will supply I say every day until appears! He doesn't manage every day as he is up at 5am most mornings to go to work and back at 5:30pm. We only miss 3 days a week BDing on average so who knows.

I know what its like to have a Dh who's tired, mine works 7.30-5 mon fri, sat 8-12 & mon & fri nights 9-3 or 3.30, plus he doesn't get home til 4.30am onwards with travel, really narrows time down for us!!!!

DH i quite good if i tell him i feel its time i'm OV, he can be quite jokey about it too which i like.

My DH will say the same thing...He doesn't care...he wants a baby too, and the idea of more sex no matter the reason, works really well for him. He told me right in the beginning, that he hopes he won't be a "one shot willy"... one of his buddies got his wife pg first try, and he told him he hopes he has more fun than that.
I wouldn't worry...I felt the same, so I brought it up with DH, and that's how I know all of this, he told me. He know's it takes certain measures to conceive, and honestly, I don't think men think the way we think. They're emotions are quite different.
Talk to your DH...u'd be surpised.
