Return of Sextappin posted:If you're having trouble making babies you should consider adoption. There are so many unloved babies out there... There was a thread a while ago, dispelling that exact line of thought. It's highly costly, you and your partner are vigourously tested and humiliated, and put on a waiting list -- and that's only domestic adoption. International adoption has more barriers. Aardvarklet posted:So if I were only having sex in the days leading up to day 14, and maybe even right after that, it wouldn't be close enough to my actual ovulation day to work. This was a while ago, but I've done a reproductive biology unit in my neuroscience degree. IIRC, if you have sex ONCE on day fourteen, you are only 14% likely to become pregnant. The effectiveness of becoming pregnant is like a bell curve overtime, peaking at day 14 (I think it was day 14. I had pregnancy brain at the time-- go figure). I figure if you just start loving at the first sign of mucus change until it's done being the lubiest lube ever, you increase your chances. I personally consider cervical mucus more telling of fertiling than basal temperature. Basal temperature can be altered by you feeling slightly turned on, or flustered, or if you're feeling slightly ill.

Google Embryo posted:Can anyone tell me about infertility drugs and breastfeeding? I'm reading don't do it, but I think this is based more on you having a slightly higher chance of not getting pregnant while breastfeeding due to the increased prolactin. I really can't understand why I wouldn't be able to breastfeed when the medications I'd be taking would just be synthetic versions of the hormones my body would be producing anyway. I'm waiting until Lucy is over 1 year old before we start trying for another anyway because breastfeeding for at least a year is mandatory for me, but I'd like to breastfeed for longer than this if possible because Lucy is very needy and I have a feeling she'll want to do it for a longer period of time than most kids would. Note that I haven't spoken to a fertility endocrinologist yet, this is just based on what I've read around the internet. I can think of a couple of women on the normal BC Pill that still breastfeeds (why they do that, I do not know). So, on the back of that, I don't see why you CAN'T try infertility drugs. On the other hand, I don't know what *possible* side effects there are between REAL oestrogens and synthetic ones, and I don't want you litigious-happy yanks to come after me with a blockade of lawyers  . So

Yes because babies hibernate during winter and aren't difficult at all.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

That does sound a lot better and thought out. Good luck to you.
