@vlagrl29 yes. But not all the time. I'm so jealous when I read other posts how easy seems just to do BD so many times during FW. Thanks y'all for letting me vent up there.
@amberruka Hope I don't come off as presumptuous in any way but thought I would share that when DH and I decided to TTC I figured I would experiment with OPK's in case we would need them in future. However, when I sent him the pics of the + OPK he had difficulty performing that same night. I guess that was just too much pressure. The following day I told him that it was probably too late and that we should have sex just for fun. ***TW*** A couple of weeks later I got my BFP. We were fortunate to get pregnant the first time (unfortunately it ended in a MMC). ***TW***
@NewMommyCoop I've heard diet can help with ED, but I've not had any experience firsthand. I believe they recommend the Mediterranean diet to improve blood flow to the arteries (and penis!).
@silvergreen I'll have to look into it. I just wish they could get his meds figured out. They work for about a year and then just quit working. He is taking CoQ10 and fish oil now, so hopefully it will help.

@amberruka - Last year from about Aug - October I was using OPKs and tried 1 month of temping. I noticed how much more stressful it got for us and we would just BD to get it in. It wasn't fun. There were a couple times DH couldn't finish because of the pressure. Since then I've stopped doing all that even with the OPKs I would stress if I would O or not or if we timed it right. Now I just make sure we BD enough in at least the first half of the month. I don't mention anything to DH except the occasional " I think I'm getting close to O because of the CM coming out" lol.
DH has wanted sex since last week friday the day before AF came. Between both of us being tired and him being busy with work it just hasn't happened but I'm going to make an effort tonight. I told him it just needs to get done before 10pm because I just want to sleep at that point. last night he had to go to menards to get something after we put dd to bed.
@silvergreen no worries, no presumptuous at all. I actually don't show him the OPKs for that very reason. He just knows it's the week because we normally have sex 1 max 2x per week and my trying to initiate more of it is what tips him off.
@vlagrl29 lol. During the week sex has to before 8pm. It wakes me up so I have to have time to watch a little tv and unwind before I go to bed. DH can just roll over and go to sleep. I don't mind later on wkds when I don't have to go to work
@Mack2342- DH usually likes watching his show - designated survivor but I told him he should record it. Put DD to bed at 9 and then I took a quick shower since I was sweaty from yoga. This time frame is perfect for me. Anything after 10pm and I start questioning which is more important to me - sex or sleep and usually sleep wins.

what is it with my fascination of CM lol - every time I feel something come out I got to pull down my pants and see what kind it is. I'm totally crazy. Last night I'm pretty sure it was DH's leftover stuff, but this morning I have no idea what that was. I'm usually pretty dry after AF leaves.
I get it @vlagrl29. Yesterday I was spotting a (very) little, and once when I went to the bathroom there was *tmi* brown mucusey stuff when I wiped. I got so excited I ran and put on a pad. The rest of yesterday and today, nothing. I'm so freaking anxious for AF to come back.
@tlq0726 & @vlagrl29 This is totally me. Although I have not a lot of cm to speak of. This is part of my ss routine during tww though...... A little creamy cm (yay!!!!) Brown spotting (curses).

I'm thinking of getting my progesterone re tested. I recently read that the level is best tested on an empty stomach before you eat. At least with a blood test. Not sure about a saliva test.
The quote of the evening during last nights sex from me was "uh that's my butt" lol. While DH was finishing it came out and he was trying to put it back in but way lower than it needed to be!
@vlagrl29 that's most definitely NOT where babies come from
In other news, I'm officially calling today CD1!!!!!!! TMI, but I have never in my life been so excited to see blood in my undies. Time to get back in the saddle, so to speak.
Bwhahaha @SP128 - 1 thing I have learned is the O for me usually a day or 2 after all the fertile CM has happened. Right now I'm waiting for that. I guess we self cleaned the oven last night
@vlagrl29 Just remember to tell him that there is a front and back. He wants the front. On TTGP awhile ago, they were talking about "butt baby." It was resurrected over the summer when I was on there because it was just ridiculous.

O. M. G. I searched and found the butt baby thread. That was the best 15 minutes of my day. All I could think of was is she worried that she will have to deliver the baby from her butt?! Pure gold. Lol
I do not know of this butt baby thread, but did you ever hear of the chick who did get pregnant that way? Apparently she had a hole, internally, somewhere...
