February 2012

BFFP Month - big fat feb positive!

Wow, so February was a pretty amazing month....

No can do?

Sometimes I wonder whether The Bear is still committed to TTC.

I'm hoping we don't have a repeat of Decembers shenanigans

It's less than a week to O Day and I'm ready to pounce! 

I know he gets tired and really he'd like to say this.....

Sex - How to do it

The concept of 'trying new positions' was lost on John & Jane....

Doggy style, missionary, spooning, scissors.... firstly why do some sexual positions sound like the contents of my cutlery drawer! Secondly, there are a myriad of ways to get your rocks off.

Sex - when to do it

No pressure or anything, right!

Sex, nookie, doing the deed, playing 'hide the sausage', bump and grind, how's your father, bonking, baby dancing (uh-huh a bit off!) whatever you call it, it's the number one thing you need to be doing to make your baby.... and you need to time it right!

Mechanical?!

I should be sleeping.... Well, I should be doing many things. At least that's what I've told myself. Like all 'good girls' I've got my list of 'shoulds....'

 Top of the list at the moment is 'I should be able to make a baby with relative ease....' Daft. And painful.

 It's our first month TTC and if I'm honest I secretly hoped for a BFP, but rationalised the odds were unlikely.

 One day late, the mother of all headaches, a bloated gut, much boob prodding, a bout of the trots followed by constipation, daily Pregnacare tablets, several -ive HPTs, many hours spent squinting at said HPTs, ordering a dozen HPTs off eBay and a bit of research into soy isoflavens (why does it sound like a vegan sports drink?)......

and nada. zip. zilch.

So as any anally retentive woman like me would do...I got myself a plan...of sorts. it basically involves using pre seed and trying the SMEP.

Spoke with Mr and he was up for the SMEP. His response was "Oh, sounds good so we basically have lots of sex then ?" Then he got all gropey as they tend to do.

Where I went wrong was getting all angsty about it and going into detail about the SMEP....Information overload.

Mr looked a bit put out....

"Hmmm" he goes. Yep that's right "hmmmm" which is never a good thing coming out of my Mr's gob, as it means he;s been caught and is thinking up a story like a naughty school boy or is unahppy.

Me: "What's 'hmmm' for?" eyebrows raised as though to say ' I DARE you to annoy me right now....go on"

Never one to turn down a non verbal dare Mr says

"Well we don't want it to get too mechanical now do we"

Too mechanical.

Too mechanical!

Great. 

'So you're worried that sex with me will be like having sex with Metal Mickey or a combine harvester? Cheers hon(!)' 

We're only four weeks into this malarky....what if we're still trying a year down the line...will he be bored of sex with me?! Hearing him use the word mechanical to describe (albeit future) sex with me was more than a little heartbreaking....

The funny thing is I can't even put him on rations....grrr! 

Ah well..... maybe I need to add another 'should' to the list....

I should chill out......

Fingers crossed!
