Also? How about dinner out followed by a nice glass of wine and relaxing in the tub for a while? Some chill time always helps me when I'm feeling tired and kinda over the trying phase of TTC... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232764 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:27:26 +0000 jocole 232764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies! Thank you all for the tips.<br /> @serendipty: We have used OPKs in the past, but decided to save the money this month and try something new. I've had positive OPKs on CD20 and 25, which is why I gave us about a week window.<br /> Neither of us are complaining...yet. Just trying to keep it fun and keep the pressure of trying to get pregnant off of our minds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232713 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:57:33 +0000 mrsjyw 232713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: it was exhausting!! i have long cycles and we were using the monitor for the first time and it gave me high fertility days for 9 or 10 days straight! :T... then had my 2 peak days, so we made sure to cover ourselves, luckily the work paid off! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232699 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:53:40 +0000 Crisark 232699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've changed to every other day because every day was just too much. Plus sperm can last more than a day so every day really isn't necessary.<br /> If you can keep at it good for you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232692 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:50:25 +0000 Alivoo01 232692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: wow!! That's A LOT of days!! Hubby and I BD a week straight during our second cycle and we were pooped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232679 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:46:38 +0000 Shutterbug 232679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha maybe read some 50 Shades of Gray? Or take a day off - sperm can live a couple days :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232625 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:26:02 +0000 mrsjyw 232625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We BD'ed 12 days in a row (with I think skipping one day out of pure exhaustion) during the cycle we got our BFP. Like pps have said we'd get each other going at diff times of day, not necessarily at night, and not necessarily just in our bedroom either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232605 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:16:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try a new location? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232601 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:14:18 +0000 Trailmix 232601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two words: Magic Mike. Totally got me through my mid-BD slump!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232597 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:12:32 +0000 Adira 232597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to do that too and only managed 3 consecutive days! Luckily I ovulated early that month so we were able to stop early, haha!</p> <p>My advice is to spice up the times you have sex. Don't always do it right before bed. Try jumping your man as soon as he (or you) get home from work! Or wake him up in the morning one day.</p> <p>Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232579 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:58:14 +0000 MrsLMA 232579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same problem:) An adult movie mid-week helped;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232577 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:58:05 +0000 Running Elley 232577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the same thing and it was definitely exhausting! I second the idea of changing up WHEN you BD. That definitely helps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232571 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:56:35 +0000 serendipity 232571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you charting or using OPKs? This might help you target what are the prime days to BD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232570 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:56:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 232570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so hard, we did the same thing! I would still try to make it spontaneous if you can, yes you know it's going to be that day, but what about int he morning before work, or surprise him before he gets home with a cute outfit and dinner? Anything to make it not seem routine. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potentially-tmi#post-232565 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:53:51 +0000 jocole 232565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I are in month 4 of TTC. Our plan of attack this time around? BD every day around my potential ovulation. I gave us an 8 day window. We're at the 'hump' day (no pun intended) of this window - day 5 - and we are both pooped! </p> <p>Any advice on how to keep things spicy and romantic when we're both tired and running on empty? </p>
