TTC tips and questions

So, I am bummed that it didn't work for us this month. I know we just began this process, but we never had to try before and I am afraid I am older and less fertile. What are your best TTC tips? If I am supposed to O Sunday Sept 23 or Mon Sept 24, what would be the best BD schedule? We are free up to the 24th, but have company staying with us starting the 24th, so will be a little more difficult to BD at leisure starting on the 24th. Also, does anyone know whether a hot tub is good/bad for sperm and BDing? Should we (DH) stay out of the hot tub that weekend or can we get in to get in the mood?

TTC tips and questions

I can only help a little bit being I'm on my second month. DH should stay OUT of the hottub! Also, no laptop on his lap (the heat from the battery). I think if you bed the 20th through the 24th (if possible on the 24th) it should cover all basis, just in case you are a couple days early. Are you using OPK?

Good luck!

Re: TTC tips and questions

first i would double check u r actuallyo'ing those dates and not guessing bc if u r off b a couple days it can change it all

if u r pretty sure that is when u will i would just as much as u can from the 22nd to the 25th and i would stay away from the hot tub just for those days

and i mean to in the hot tub...not to just hang out

good luck

HOT TUB=BAD!

You don't want to do anything to heat up your baby makers- including excessive exercise.

I recommend checking out Fertility Friend. They have alot of really great tips and tricks. Also read the thread thats pinned at the top of this board. I found it very helpful when we were starting to TTC.

And feel free to ask any questions here!

Best of luck!
