Don’t give yourself a deadline. Pull the goalie and remember practicing is the beta part. When you get a bit more serious about trying to time it, skip BBT (hard to execute properly) and just do pee strips.
Oh yeah, read “Expecting Better” by Emily Oster.
Source: 3 kids, some were quick, some took a while, tried lots of things.
I much as look my wife's way....wife gets preggers. 5 kids in 10yrs 🤧
I feel you... here’s to 5 kids!
Have fun, get some wine, pretend to be teenagers, and just let loose.
True, K2... Don't know that it makes that much of a difference, though, as long as the alcohol doesn't affect performance. It only takes one swimmer to make it. Kinda depends on what it takes to relax both of you and get you in the mood - don't overdo it.
Thursday - Sunday for the two most likely weeks, third month of trying. If you do that for 9+ months with no luck, then go see a doctor.
Analysis before you start trying? It's not a problem until it's a problem.
Took us 8 months; both in consulting and I think the combo of traveling (could never try for the full window) and stress level for her were factors. Got pregnant while she was on a 3 week project break and i stopped traveling over the holidays
Never heard of that - everything I heard was go try for six months, then talk to your doctor. Because a semen analysis is only half of what you would check if things aren’t working.
In all seriousness, my wife paid super close attention to time periods and we'd have a ton of sex during those time periods. Two kids and a couple early miscarriages, never took us more than a month or two once she pulled the goalie.
We are trying and just the pressure of getting it done during the cycle takes the whole fun out . 3 cycles done without luck
Happens to more people than you’d think. It sucks
Just go to pound town if you stress out or wife gets stressed it’s not going to happen
Concur with this... try every couple of days, ignore the calendar except for the few days a month when you know it’s the wrong time. Gets er done. If not, after 6 months see a doc.
Three years, two miscarriages, multiple rounds of IUI, two IVF cycles, genetic testing, and a frozen embryo transfer. But now have two amazing kids.
Go see a specialist. It’s worth understanding any potential issues up front.
2nd one (embryo transfer) was born at 36.
1 month of trying and we were pregnant for both kids. Just start trying and see what happens. If after 6 months it still doesn’t work talk to your Dr.
We got super lucky, 3 intentionally time sexin's and got 2 babies out of 'em. Pretty sure that's not typical though
Anybody get a semen analysis before starting to try?
Don’t do that unless you have cause for concern that the swimmers are malfunctioning.
If it’s something you’re worried about, buy one if those kits to do a sperm count at home. They work. It won’t tell you how active they are, but you’ll know if you have many or few or none.
Have your wife start using an app like Glow. When it tells you it’s sexy time, get down to business. I flew home early one week because that was baby making time and we were trying for our second. It worked 100% for us. If you’re trying on the right days and still not getting anywhere, then think about seeing a doctor.
I would say skip temperature tracking and calendar tracking, and just use the pee strips. They are literally measuring hormonal activity directly, which is the thing you care about.
First time, almost a year. Second time, first week. Third time...tbd
About an hour 🤣
No harm in getting checked if it’ll make you feel better. It’s around $150 for the analysis. Includes some couch time with videos which is an interesting experience.
