Yup, TTC just sucks

It's official now (as of 2:05 pm).....I'm out this cycle.  Sad

I have a friend who told me "just start getting drunk and doing it in the backseat of your car.  That worked for a lot of girls in high school!"  That made me smile.  And if this keeps up, I might just try this theory. 

It's so frustrating!  If I had known it would have been this hard, I would have started trying a lot sooner!

    I feel ya!  I work in the child support area, and I know it always seems like the majority of people getting pg are the ones who can't handle it. 

    I know it's hard not to get stressed or overthink it, but I think that just works against you, so it's good to have it as a goal.  And/or just start doing it in the backseat of the car.  Stick out tongue

    **TMI warning**

    What's your routine?  Like EOD near O, or ED?  Sorry if that's too personal.  We had to figure out what works for us, especially given our busy schedules, and how the puppy likes to cuddle in between us, making sexy time difficult.  We ended up being successful doing EOD for the few days before O, and then twice on O day.

  • We're not TTC so I can't imagine what you are going through.  I just want to say hang in there and I'm sure you'll get KU'pd real soon.

    Try having fun with it.  Try different and new positions.  Heck, become a member of the mile high club!

    Pineapple, according to the fertility gods, is supposed to help.  Not sure how or why- but it is.  ED means every day, in relation to that EOD means every other day.  Both relate to when people are "getting it on"  :-)

     

    p.s.  My uterus is thanking you for the well wises.

    That may work. Well, we did it front seat side of the road and like 4 days later I found out I was KU.

    Now I feel skanky that I just admitted it.. Oh well, it was fun and I felt like I was 16

    It's technically the core of the pineapple, so the crap that you'd most likely throw away.  It's supposed to have an enzyme that helps the lining of the uterus develop, and you eat it for days 1-5 after ovulation.  Who knows if it works, but my attitude was that I'll try anything once!

    Xtine, you're making me laugh.  And you must be younger than I am, because the thought of doing it in a car makes my back hurt!  Stick out tongue

  • See Xtine is proof that car sex works!!!

    I challenge all you TTC ladies (myself included) to chew on some pineapple core and do it in a car.

  • I'm sorry hun :( It'll happen, usually just when you decide to stop caring. Oh! But another thing that is supposed to help and is also yummy? Ice cream. It's good for TTC because of the type of milky fat in it? I also vote for getting trashed and going at like wild animals - not to TTC, but just because it feels good :)
