TTC

When you were trying to conceive how long did you stay in bed or keep the cum in? We have sex before bed and I keep it in all night making sure none spill out. I know you don’t have to but in my head if I get up then some leaks out and I start to think it’s not going to work. Also how often did you have sex. We do it daily just to make sure we don’t miss our chance.

Even when I was trying to conceive I would have a wee shortly after sex as you can get a UTI if not. Also a shower after sex will only wash away sperm on the outside of the vagina not the inside. I used to have a wee and shower after sex and I felt pregnant very quickly. But everyone takes a different amount of time to fall pregnant, some people fall on their first try, others takes months. How quickly did you call pregnant with your first? Daily is a lot, you only have a small window for getting pregnant when ovulation occurs, there are apps that can help advise you on this. Try to just enjoy the process 🙂

I don't know if this helped, but when I fell pregnant with my ex we did it like 4 times that night and once in the morning. Also the position we were in my legs were in the air resting on the headboard of the bed and I remember reading somewhere once that apparently having your legs in the air helps, not sure if its true or not.

Diet is a big thing too, and if your consuming a lot of alcohol, try conceving vitamins also. They don't guarantee, but certainly have an impact on ttc I think. But it varies from.person to person, and I think the more pressure you put on it the less likely you are to fall...we went on holiday for a week, and had sex 5 times out of the 7 days. And I was in peak ovulation. I didn't fall pregnant, but also was drinking alot ( it was all inclusive lol) got back home, moved house, spent 2 months redecorating, designing and totally not thinking of ttc, then had sex out the blue, I was on top, abd bang! Fell pregnant. I truly believe its because I stopped thinking about it, and started to enjoy it

You don’t need to sit there all night, around maybe 10-15 mins or so on your back is enough to keep them in.

(Remember there’s MILLIONS of sperm in one small sample so plenty of chances!)

That’s what I did, and I fell pregnant quickly.
Also good diet, exercise & pregnacare conceiving tablets.

Daily is a lot, as they say that the sperm quality is better when ejaculated every other day, rather than everyday. (There are research papers on this online if you wanted to review) essentially just focus on your ovulation day and perhaps either side of the ovulation day for good luck (as the egg is fertile for 24 hours so no harm in making sure you catch it) then any other fertile days you have left every other day to maintain sperm quality. Good luck xx

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Is it just me?

I’m 35. I have a 21 month old and i’m 5 months pregnant. I have no friends. Everyone has either drifted away or ghosted me. I don’t know what i’ve done but i’m so lonely now. My best friend of 20 years has ghosted me and i’m heartbroken. I’ve tried to reach out to other friends but never get anywhere. I don’t know how to make new friends. I honestly just feel so alone.
