TTCers Unite! ~a place to chat~

[tigercub]

so.. is anyone doing special things/techniques/anything different when TTC to help the process? just curious................

Well we're not using any type of contraception. Also I don't immediately jump up and 'clean' myself after baby dancing. I tried sticking my legs in the air but I got light-headed Other than that and charting...(and prenatal vitamins) nothing else. Am starting to wonder if there is something else I should be doing though

I am taking prenatals, and extra Folic Acid. I take the prenatals now because the seizure meds I am on cause my body to not take in the nutrients I need on my own.

does your hubby ever say anything when you lay there with your legs up in the air?

He just looked at me weirdly.

I read that EPO increases CM and helps with AF cramps, so I have been taking it for a week or so. As for the prenatals, everything I read says to take them when you are TTC, so I figure twenty to thirty days early will be good enough I'm hoping we will fall pg by Dec..just three short months of trying...we'll see. God knows what He's doing. It's just so fun to actually talk to other TTCer's about it!

Questions for all TTCer's:

Do you and your husband pray together consistently about conceiving?

 

[Leanna]

Personally I think that not getting out of bed for 8 hours is preferable to legs in the air. As soon as you stand up, lots of stuff falls out. So try "getting busy" before bedtime and then not getting up until the morning. Bring a book for if you can't sleep, and use the restroom beforehand. Worked for me twice

I was reading somewhere that BabyDancing in the morning gives you a better chance of conception (I hate BabyDancing in the morning!) Unfortunately hubby also has to leave for work at 5:30AM

Must try the book idea...maybe then I will stay in bed (thanks Leanna!)

Yes, that is the reason we are trying. We both feel that God wants us to. We pray every night, when he is out of town, we pray over the phone.

that is very sweet.
is this something you both feel lead to right now? is your husband just as excited?

 

[tigercub]

eeeeek double post! How did that happen?

Oh dear...

Will make my next post the actual post...just ignore this one lol

 

[tigercub]

is your husband just as excited?

On that note; A general question....do men ever get as excited as the women do?

 

[Leanna]

It doesn't work out for us in the morning... our alarm clock is known as David, and he is NOT patient. Neither of us are morning people

 

[Linnis]

My Husband loved TTC, it meant way more sex! LOL

We are morning people but only because my RA is better then.

Does midnight babydancing count as morning or night babydancing?

 

[Katakalupto]

Thank you. Yes it is. He is just as excited as I am if not more.

 

[tigercub]

Now I cannot remember who asked about my chart...

Oh well anyway I have been charting with MyMonthlyCycles for 3 months, but couldn't find a way to 'share' it so I entered June & July's data into a new account on FertilityFriend, and my chart 'n stuff is here.

Now you might wonder why there is no data for May...well AF was from 1st til the 6th of May, when I tried to enter that it did something weird to the rest of my chart so I deleted it. Anyway it's there. Sort of.

Anyone else got charts to post?

 

[livin4christ9203]

HI!! Thanks for inviting me here!! My husband is very excited about having a baby, sometimes I think he is more excited than I am. We've been trying for nearly 4 hours, since about 1 month into our marriage. It's been a long long long process for us. We are okay with it though, we know it will happen when God wants it to.

 

[livin4christ9203]

Has anyone here who has been pregnant before, ever gotten pregnant with very irregular cycles??

I have extremely irregular cycles, so I can't chart or do most o fthe ovulation predictor things. I have one of those ovulation predictor monitos, that you just buy the strips for, but it gets so aggrivating since my cycle is always different.
