TTC after 35

Pick Up Lines for Ovulating Women

My fiance and I were laughing the other day because when I was ovulating, I went up to him and told him I had EWCM. He had no idea what they meant, so I had to explain it to him. 
He then said "Wouldn't it be funny if that was a woman's pick up line when she wanted to get pregnant? She would go up to some guy at a bar and say 'Hey there...I have egg-white cervical mucus. I think it's time to get rowdy'" 
Haha!


Which leads me to this curiosity question--
What 'pick up line' do you use on your SO to tell them it's time to TTC?
Do you say anything at all, or do you just attack?

  • @Davie813 - I get it. That was how I was when I TTC my son and daughter. I charted with both, and I told my ex-husband pretty much the same thing you just said. He hated it, and so did I! Wasn't as fun as just being spontaneous.

    So-- this time around, I am going to try and just be extra playful and assertive during my fertile times. Maybe spice it up a bit with new lingerie, etc. I want to try and make it fun! ;)

  • I don't have to say anything. My DH actually complains that I am never the initiator. He wants it all day, every day! I should surpise him one of these days and totally catch him off guard. ;)
    Me: 38 ~  DH: 38 ~   DD: 8
    TTC #2 since March/April 2014.
     
     
  • Don't forget we have to bone tonight.  That's the reminder line after what @Davie813 said. Hopefully nobody sees hos phone becasue that's usually via text.
  • @kindershlitz- Hahahaha! "BONE". Pure awesome. 
  • Yeah, my pickup lines are pretty much, "So, what are you doing Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, and maybe Wednesday depending on when I get my LH surge?"

    ROMANCE.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....
  • Honey it's time for a deposit!

    Let's make a baby!

    Or I just comment on how ready my body is.

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP! 
  • How about "Hey, honey. You're eggs are ready"
