@Flamingo I agree with Mir777. Its actually better to bd every other day! It's the perfect amount of time to let a lot of sperm build up but not too long that sperm start to die. Bd too often can lead to a lower sperm count. 2 times a day is probably too much but if you were in the mood once a day I'm sure that's fine! Don't forget sperm can live in you up to 5 days also. Good luck this next cycle!

flamingogirl- So sorry to hear AF showed up. Best of luck this next cycle. Can i say something, i was like you everyday almost, But then someone on here mentioned SMEP. After research its best to BD every other day as it helps the sperm build up. Give the SMEP a try this month if you wish. Go to TOOLS & TICKERS, select INTERCOURSE TIMING and it will tell you what days, but i follow that not to the fullest, CD8 start every other day, till you get a +OPK on pos-opk, do everyday for 3 days, then skip a day and go again. Last month i was scared an d messed up as +opk was late and ect....LOL

twwtoolong - So sorry as well, that damn

AFM, i am enjoying the no stress of temp and cm checking, lets see if i can do the whole month LOL. Just waiting to Ovulate.

Thanks for the tips everyone! I'm not sure if DH can only do every other day. I might be able to get him to do it if I don't suggest it and just try and let it happen naturally. My twin sister also suggested every other day as well. Even though they got pregnant by doing it every day. I know sperm are supposed to live for up to 5 days but it doesn't feel like it right now. I guess we somehow keep missing the egg. I'll try for the every other day once I get that positive OPK. It looks like I will ovulate the week in between Christmas and New Years which is the week I am off of work so that will be nice!

@twwtoolong - I'm sorry AF tricked you this time and came a little later then normal. Mine decided to surprise me a few days early.

flamingogirl- I feel you on trying to calm down the DH LOL. i told mine i need those suckers pumped and ready to roll. The Every other day i didnt understand but started liking it due to the desire and waiting for it HAHA, plus The Great Sperm Race, said the more the man is aroused the best he shoots off more sperm. Not that they dont get aroused it is the anticipation of waiting for you LOL!!!
It is all up to you and how you wish to do the TTC process. Since i am now on 6 months TTC i guess i have tried every way possible.
Trust me my DH calls us "jackrabbits"

twwtoolong- I did research on preseed, this is my thinking/opinion only, i will give it a shot still. To me its out of my hands and i give it to higher up in my book. i hope we get our BFP this go around!!

This is my first time TTC and I'm hoping for a September baby! CD 8 right now--waiting to O around Dec 19-22, and the anticipation is killing me. I sure am impatient! Meanwhile, I am experiencing a heavy pressure and full-feeling in the very bottom of my abdomen that pushes hard against my uterus when I lean forward. Been TTC since October...Has anyone ever experienced this before? I had a cyst on my left ovary that was found on October 4th and I was told it was already rupturing and nothing to worry about. I'm now wondering if it could be the culprit... Any ideas? thank you ladies for starting this forum!

Good evening yall! So here's my deal. I'm a gym rat..i love lifting weights, weight training toning my body and staying healthy as much as i can. dont like cardio so much but who in the hell does right? With the exception of our runners in the house you know who you are... At any rate, so I'm drinking this pre workout cuz I'ma bout to hit it. Then i had this thought, my pre workout has a LOT of stimulants. I just had a thought will this effect my ttc? Does anyone else use a pre workout before exercise? Have you researched in terms of ttc?

spreading some and good cheer to all of us TGIF! Have a great day GL and have a ton of successful BD'ing yall!

@ Meganhuff - Welcome! I've just joined this group and am finishing up AF at the moment. Looks like I'll be ovulation a few days after you. I've never had that type of pressure before? Do you think it could be another cyst? If the other one ruptured back in October would you still be feeling it? I've never had one so I'm not sure. If the feeling continues I think you should call your dr. just in case.

@ katyfootballmama - I'm not sure about the stimulants. Did you do some research? Also yes TGIF!!

@Beaut1ful38 - Yes we need them pumped and ready to go! I took a screen shot of the SMEP plan that the tool on here gave me. I will keep that so I can try to follow it as best I can! P.S. I missed you when you switched over the September group. Happy to have your input and conversation again.

AFM - Hopefully finishing up AF and then waiting to start with OPKS next week.

Hey ladies!!!

omg alot of catching up to do!!!

katyfootballmom-I dont take stimulants, but a energize tea my instructor gives me all natural. i workout 5 times a week and 1-2 days weight lifting. Currently on a 30 day challenge, My instructor said 9 months ago when she did it she ended up getting pregnant, here it goes for me i hope!!! Do some research and see what you can find.

FlamingoGirl- Sorry about AF that witch!! We got this next go around! How can you not get a BABY BOOM around the holidays!! LOL

Peral325- Omg i just saw on Aug post maybe a line!!! i hope so sweetie!! i cant wait for you to find out for sure!!!

AFM, Waiting to ovulate!! And recover from my fracture still have to go see a specialist today on that. Looks like i will be out for 6-8weeks of exercising. DH thanks i will be more relaxed and not stressed since i cant do anything. But he dont understand us women cant sit and do nothing the HOUSE will go CRAZY!!

@Beaut1ful38 thanks I hope it is easier to see tomorrow. I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me lol. I hope you feel better from your fracture! I know you cant exercise but you can still BD if your just laying there! LOL! Good luck!!
