Helanna posted:I always wondered about this but... why don't couples wanting to get pregnant just have sex one or twice every single day? I'd say you'd be pretty certain to hit your fertile time doing that. There are a couple reasons that is not typically suggested (by fertility specialists). What I gathered from an interview I saw, when you have bang, bang, bang sex (many days in a row, two/three times a day) you decrease the sperm levels (i.e. you are not giving your significant others body enough time to 'make' more sperm), so you are then left with a higher concentration of 'wonky' sperm (so that might be why you aren't getting pregnant... ), you are also making it a chore/job... and typically the more you stress about it (and take enjoyment out of it), the longer it will take for it to happen. Also, if the woman feels that its a 'job' then they may be less likely to orgasm, and a woman's orgasm actually facilitates the movement of the sperm. From the interview that I watched, it was suggested that you have sex every other night for a couple of days AROUND your anticipated ovulation date (so say you SHOULD ovulate on the 13th, you have sex on the 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th & 19th) My hubby & I are talking about trying to conceive our second child... and that is what *I* am planning on doing (I know when we were TTC our first child... we ended up pregnant when we hadn't 'planned' on having sex, when we decided to have a roll in the hay for the fun of a roll in the hay) Can't wait to read everyone elses stories!

Miss Shell posted:Here's another one chiming in for trying. We're on about three months right now and it's been SO disappointing when the period appears. I'm not doing any of that temperature tracking or anything, I feel like that would make it more of a chore than it is. I don't think any one thing is a deal breaker... I believe that it's a series of events that occur in a certain sequence for a better chance at conception. I hope I'm making sense, it's day three of a sleep strike (my 8mos old is having none of this sleeping crap... and mommy needs her sleep!) As someone someone else posted, I don't think it necessarily MUST happen that you get off during the act... there are just certain things that it helps (and I would assume that getting off at any point during said 'baby dance' [omg, I think I just barfed a bit... that is such a nasty term] will do what needs to be done) Again, I hope I'm even quasi-clear!

Space Cadet posted:I spoke with Loretta and she said that initially her pains felt like the worst menstrual cramps she has ever had in her life, she had a complaint of nausea, stomach and back pain going into her neck. She would have been more concerned if she knew she was pregnant at the time, however she simply thought it was a combination of bedroom olympics and her period due to start within a day or two that was the cause of her discomfort. I am so sorry for you & your wife... but I'm glad that things turned out in the best possible manner. It sounds like your wife had a wonderful 'team' working on her, and a wonderful husband supporting her. Reading what you did for her (the yard, etc)... brought tears to my eyes. Tell that wife of yours to rest up and best of luck when you do decide to try ;o)
