Hmm... I'm not sure I like the sound of that. I have gotten kind of used to getting it every day.

There are times we will skip a day or two... but not often.

I do know that his swimmers are good, or at least they were at one point because one of his ex's had a miscarriage years ago.

I do have a question though...

There were a few days when his ejaculate was REALLY thick, almost not liquid at all it was so thick. Anyone know why it would be that way when he had no change in diet or anything???

I read somewhere that it's best to have sex every day starting 3-5 days before you ovulate. So I guess we're covering the bases at least. If we go a few cycles with no results I may cut back... we'll see.

Thanks for the advice though.

Oh... and I'm getting yet ANOTHER pimple!

LOL @ Marie w/ your DH being ADD... mine is like that too!! It's like I'm not even there is ANYTHING else is going on. LOL...As far as the 5x thing.. I'm definitely jealous. I am lucky that I have been able to get DH every other day! We play kind of opposite roles in our marriage- I am the one wanting to BD all the time and he is the one that always has a "Headache" or he's "too tired" or .... I really hope you are right about Oing and concieving last night!! I'll be thinking about you and lots of Babydust for you!

jilly- I hope 3rd times a charm for you!

Shannon- ya know, I think it is really hard to say because I thought that there had to be time for the sperm count to rebuild so my DH and I were just doing it every other day and then I went to my Dr the other day for a consultation about TTC and he told me that he recommends BDing every day around that time and that it does not effect the sperm count.... so I dunno... i was nice last night tho and gave DH a break

As for me... I have been breaking out all week as well... and I don't know why....DH has been having sinus issues all week which means I have gotten no sleep all week due to his snoring very loudly... maybe that's why I am so stressed. It seems like it has just been one of those weeks. I have had a constant backache all week... all I want to eat is salad or grapes (weird? yeah..) nothing else seems to satisfy me, which is annoying. Everytime I have plans for someting they get cancelled... all the food in my fridge was bad this morning so I spent the whole morning throwing like $100s worth of food out (thanks Wal-Mart)! I'm at work now and I keep forgetting to do things like I'll tell someone to fax me something and then forget to give them my fax #... AND I am on my 9th high day today according to my CBEFM! I am so glad this week is almost over.... and I really wish I would just O already! LOL

Sorry for the venting ladies- but I needed it!

Vickie- Yeah... I feel like I just wanna shake DH sometimes to get or keep his attention. As far as BD goes, there have only been two nights I think since we got married that we haven't had sex and that was because my period was too heavy. We don't really give each other breaks, lol. Hopefully you will O soon so that you can get into the dreaded 2ww.

Would you guys say I'm in the 2ww? Or still waiting to O? I know it's hard to say since I'm not temping right now. But I had what seemed like O pain last night. Any words of wisdom??

I have been praying that God will bless my body... God has been blessing me a lot lately in my life and I've just been praying that he will bless me with a child. I'll keep all you ladies in my prayers too!!

A little brownish pink spotting when I wiped earlier...

from O maybe? would be too early for implantation, right?

Pretty sure DH is on the same page as I am with TTC.

We haven't actually sit down and discussed TTC, but we keep talking about having a baby and about how we both really want one and I told him I was gonna start temping to make sure when/if i ovulate.

I also mentioned it briefly in an email to him and he didn't respond much to it but he told me how important he thought the email was.

So... it seems like things are a go and the beginning of next cycle (hopefully there won't be a next cycle) I will start temping.

I've been having to pee a lot more lately... and bbs are starting to get tender ...

But it's probably all in my head right?? 3dpo would be WAY too soon for that, right???

Congadulations Shannon!
Not to get off subject but has anyone ever tried preseed? I have just ordered some. I'm not normally dry but I thought couldn't hurt right? Need feedback, thanks!
Marie-good luck!
Vickie-take a deep breath!

CONGRATS Shannon!!! Looks like you are just 1 day behind me.


Jilly-I've used preseed before, and it is good if you need a TTC-friendly lube or feel that you don't produce a lot of cm.

Jilly - Just about everyone here has tried preseed at one point or another. I got pg using it and many others did, too.

Alright.... on my 12th high day. I'm starting to think I will never peak. bleh... This month just probably isn't my month, but that's ok... we just started trying so I'm not losing all hope or anything yet. And I still have that backache that just won't quit... DH rubbed my back for me in bed last night which helped some, but it was back again this morning.

Marie- Yes, testing 3dpo would be too soon. I do hope this is it for you though

Vickie - Don't get down on not getting a peak yet. I peaked just a few days ago and now have a BFP, so that means we conceived on a high day....so you can still get prego
Remember it's not over until AF sings...lol!

Hi Jilly! It has been very quiet here lately. So, many lucky ladies moving on b/c of BFP's!! Hope all is well with you & your having a good day! So, anything new with you?? As for me, nothing really exciting. I am feeling pretty miserable today, lots of lower back pain. Just means that AF is just around the corner. Just wish it would get here and be over with... I'm feeling so emotional today too!! Just the same old fears that come back this time every month...I guess it's the hormones from pms.

So, I have a question, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. My DH had a hernia where his intestines dropped into his scrotum a few years ago & had it surgically repaired. I was wondering if anyone knew anyone with this same problem and if they were still able to have children or if this could have an affect on fertility?? DH doesn't really say much about it, it all happened before we were together. So, I don't really know what the doctor told him. Just wondering if anyone else went through anything like this??

Hi to everyone else! Hope all is well!
