Knowledgable TTCers to the rescue...

[The bubba]

Hi, im new to bubhub!(have been a lurker for ages) :o
Im actually after a little bit of info from all you TTC mums!
With my first son, we conceived first time around but we have decided to try again and I am hoping to try for a baby girl. I know all the things they suggest for a girl but have a few more questions.

OK here goes...

1. Have been having sex for the last few nights coz im pretty sure I ovulate at around CD 15 and its currently CD12. We tried on CD 9, CD 11 and CD12. Should we stop now if I think ovulation is CD 15???

2. Since we have been trying the next day i have been leaking out so much that I have needed to change underwear, is this normal???

3. Is it safe to exercise and do long hard walks when trying to conceive? I also play sport once a week, is that ok too?

I think thats all! Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Jai

Hi Jai :wave:

To me it sounds that what you are doing to ttc a girl is right. Although, remember its not gaurenteed!

You may want to try to chart your temps (If you arn't already) so you know the exact day of O, then it will make it easier for you to bd on the correct days!

Good luck and I hope you get a BFP very soon :fingerscrossed:

Thanks cmd's mum! I am charting my temsp since last month. I am pretty sure I ovulate at around CD15 and that was the same as last bub. We conceived the first month we tried. Not expecting it to happen so soon this time as we are not trying exactly on ovulation. I am happy with either a girl or a boy, just trying our luck for the pidgeon pair!

Appreciate your advice and info!

cheers:thumbsup:

Hi Jai! Welcome to BubHub :wave:

Where is the fun in stopping at CD15??? Hehehe - bedding is supposed to be a romantic intimate thing - when we begin doing it for the sole purpose of pro-creation we lose the love and begin putting STACKS of pressure on ourselves to fall pregnant. Just enjoy yourself and bed every second day minimum (and maybe just make sure you keep on going til CD17 or 18)

2. Since we have been trying the next day i have been leaking out so much that I have needed to change underwear, is this normal???
Yup - there is always going to be excess that doesn't make it past the cervix. If you can orgasm at the same point that your partner ejaculates then you are more likely to conceive - when you orgasm your cervix dilates rapidly and kind of 'sucks' in more semen. More semen, more opportunity for your eggie to be fertilised!

3. Is it safe to exercise and do long hard walks when trying to conceive? I also play sport once a week, is that ok too?
Defnitely safe to exercise and do lots of walking when you are TTC. In the TWW try to avoid stomach crunches or situps though and keep up the cardio :thumbsup:

I hope I have been able to help... Best Wishes!
