[Closed] babymaking.......

What can possibly go wrong? 😆

I always clean the pipes regularly. Improves the taste.

Given that for baby making you should be attempting manufacture every couple of days, additional flushing through of the equipment is not really necessary.

Don't think it'll make a big difference, assuming you don't have issues of that sort there'll be plenty of competitors on the start line either way. What I wasn't prepared for though is once the guns gone off and the race is underway - for the wife to then adopt a shoulder stand position with her legs up against the wall, and stay like that for 20 mins reading a book. Turning it in effect into a downhill swimming race.

practice practice practice 😉

When you say [i]tasteful[/i]...

Good excuse for as often as possible. A mate persuaded his missus that a certain (his preference) position would also improve the chances... 😆

Me and Mrs are having fertility treatment and were advised to clear the pipes 2 or 3 days before going at it (for natural and clinical babymaking).

Apparently its to allow the swimmers to reach the optimum age for getting jiggy wid it.

Also spread out the business time so you have a couple of days between each time you make the 2 backed monster to allow the swimmers to grow again.

The most important advice we were given - don't get hung up on it and stressed - it does you no good. Have fun and see what happens.

Not the way I understand it IHN. Apparently there's only a few days per month when she can eggify. I think it's something to do with the moon and sea state.

Yes she does this. I'm just glad it happens after the deed.

Better crema?

I think a little bit of sick just came out...

Have some personal experience of this recently but nothing I'd like to divulge on stw. If the OP would like some advice (just going on what the urologist told me during some fertility work-ups), then he's welcome to drop me a mail.

mail inbound darcy. thanks.

[i]Apparently there's only a few days per month when she can eggify[/i]

This is true, but, assuming you know when this is, you can have a preliminary test of all the equipment a day or so before (this will serve to flush the pipes), followed by two or three full-scale manufacturing runs every couple of days after that.

See your urologist.

What was that program that revealed ladies are like aliens inside? Your little fellas land in a little holding pen and then when your good lady reaches climax, this little doobery dips in and out of the holding pen dragging the good boys on their way.

The gist of the documentary was that you're more likely to conceive if your missus has a good time. So this approach that so many women adopt making it very clinical and business-like actually lessens the chances of having a baby.

Go in, about 10 days after the painters have been...

When Mrs Gti and I were at this stage in our life she was also doing a very stressful and tiring job. Nothing was happening and we were already in the first stages of getting outside help. Then she gave up the job and stayed at home relaxing and within a couple of cycles of the moon we got the result we wanted. I believe this was more than just coincidence.

IIRC the Billing's wrote a booklet for aiding this. It helps with determining the best time for the woman, in theory.

Edit : Apparently the egg is better [i]waxing[/i] rather than [i]waning[/i], so to speak. I found it quite an interesting theory.

Forgive me if I ignore this morsel 😀
Second place is first loser.

Brilliant

Having done this recently all I can say is that you will be a husk of a man mid month and will, after a while, not think all your Christmases have come at once. No pun intended. Regular out of cycle pipe cleaning is recommended, live reasonably cleanly within reason and stay relaxed. Trust me, once it arrives the halcyon mid month bonk fest will feel like a long time ago.

If we're in disclosure mode - we also had some difficulty in conceiving that lead to starting fertility checks to rule out any underlying issues. Cut a long story short, my swimmer report came back describing them as 'lacklustre'

WTF 😯 That knocks a bloke back, I can tell you. I'd imagined a Weissmuller vs Thorp vs Phelps vs Spitz (stop it!) slug out, instead it was a gentle downstream amble. In the sperm equivalent of those flowery hats that old women wear. How could I make my fellers more lustrous? Would painting the factories with glittery make up have any effect? Was there anything I could eat that would improve their chances?

The most important advice we were given - don't get hung up on it and stressed - it does you no good.

Wise words.
If nothing seems to be happening and you have a few disappointments, sods law will dictate that you will witness the worst (in your mind )type of parenting all around.

Good Luck

Lacklustre? Luxury! My swimmers are a lost tribe stored in a freezer in a heavily guarded location somewhere in London.

Unless there's been an unfortunate power cut.

Oh lackluster swimmers. A devastating blow to a mans confidence. Did you explain to them that they were being launched from something that resembled Duncan Goodhews head and thus they should really put some fukin effort in to not let the side down ? Just can get good Semen these days eh ?

So for babymaking, gentlemen should come first?
After all those years of holding back it does seem unfair.

What's this holding back you speak of ?

Just can get good Semen these days eh ?

Good Seamen

ICMC 🙂

Yeah, I was told that my swimmers were more Eric The Eel than Michael Phelps. It is a bit of a proverbial kick in the knackers.

Then again, maybe that would gee 'em up a bit.

When we decided to start baby making there was no chance for me to clean the pipes "manually". The Mrs was on heat. Sigh

I'm currently being threatened with talk of ice packs for cooling(!) usually accompanied with a smile which I'm not entirely sure that I trust. Really need to get this done.

When my wife and I were seeking fertility treatment we were told that day 10 of the cycle was the optimum time in the fertility cycle. Day 1 being first day of her period. Also, sperm can hang around for up to 4 days so x amount of times a day not really necessary. Storing up 3 days prior to ejaculation was also advised and going in around day nine you will stand a good chance of succeeding providing everything is working correctly for you both.

Really need to get this done.

Sounds like you're under pressure... but don't heap pressure on the little guys in the name of speed conception.

We tried for ages, but got there in the end. 😉

We just went with every 2 or 3 days throughout the time that seemed 'about right'.

I've no idea about the quality of my output. If it was anything like me on a bike, they all wheezed up the tricky bits, got lost every now and again but got to where they needed to be at about the right time.

First time around I was subjected to the clinical method of aligning myself with the moon, eating copious amounts of Broccoli and make sure I was home from work on time. Took 3 months to get KJ01 made.

Second time I couldn't be bothered so resorted to "Drink pints, eat kebab on the way home and stumble accidentaly onto nest" method. Hey ho KJ02 was made within a week (so I'm told).

Make the most of it. A mate of mine told me of the phrase (when speaking about post childbirth night time fun) "its like your favorite pub just burned down". He was right.

So far this thread has concentrated on the How, rather than the Should We?

There are an estimated 7.5 billion people in a world struggling to contain them...

Go start your own thread if that's what you want to do, don't spoil ours. We're having fun.

So far this thread has concentrated on the How, rather than the Should We?

Because that's what the OP was asking and the thread has stayed largely on topic!

I'm assuming the OP has already decided whether he should or not....

Feel free not to bother. I'm sure humankind will manage.

But this would depend on how long the lady cycle is. Some wimminz are up to 35 days.

Lady cycle?

Lots already said, but timing critical and Robutissun chesty cough syrup works (call it an old wives tale but it did do as intended for us) - seems grapefruit juice does too.
http://babyandbump.momtastic.com/trying-to-conceive/770430-can-buy-robitussin-cough-syrup-uk.html

You need to understand when she's most fertile and your baby gravy is best at 3 - 5 days after your last release. Also best avoiding smoking and booze for 6 weeks to 3 months beforehand.

You might try staying overnight in a B&B in Hay on Wye. That's a winner, too. 😀

baby gravy

😯

OK. I just read "cervical mucus". 😯 whats the deal with the cough syrup; drink or apply? Him or her? Is it alcoholic?

But this would depend on how long the lady cycle is. Some wimminz are up to 35 days.

cervical mucus

Ha! There's also a mucus bung involved, apparently. A bit like that lumpy bit attached to the yolk in your average chicken egg.

Mumsnet called.

They want their thread back 😉

A while, but we kind of know that everything works to some degree at least.

There's a section of singletrack in Swinley Forest called 'babymaker' so named as the trail builders brother was trying for a child at the time and it was hoped that the trail could become some sort of mystical fertility place (a bit like 'doing it' on the eye of the Uffington White Horse). (You're not supposed to 'do-it' on the trail, just ride down the trail and then go back home etc etc).

Anyway, bizarrely it worked for me, both of my children were conceived after riding this trail. The land owners may well be closing the trail soon, so I suggest that you get there sharpish 😀

Is the Mrs taking Folic Acid?

@Mulletus Maximus,

Be good to know how you're getting on with the adoption process and your experiences.
currently thinking about the same.
Been trying for second bambino for more than 2 years, bizarrely after having no troubles with our first child.
The body's a wierd old thing...

aleonardwilliams, strange thing with us is that there is nothing physically wrong with either of us, we just couldn't concieve after 6 years of trying.

Adoption wise, we're going through Barnardos as local authority are useless. We had our first contact with Barnardos last August and we should be going to panel around June and from there we start searching. The whole process with them will take around 18 months. We also wasted a year with local authorities.

We're adopting two siblings and can't wait. 😀

The gist of the documentary was that you're more likely to conceive if your missus has a good time. So this approach that so many women adopt making it very clinical and business-like actually lessens the chances of having a baby.

I totally agree with the above, having conceived 6 times - and not easily I don't fall pregnant easily, but know ithas to be at the right time and the sex has to be great

Some friend of mine were struggling and he mentioned that now it was for making babies there whole sex life had changed. I pointed out his wife may need to rethink her 'lovely romantic' conception and go with full on passion

But this would depend on how long the lady cycle is. Some wimminz are up to 35 days.

But your mates got there first.

I think you find the average time to ovulate is 14 days after the first day of your period. The variatiins in cyle leength affect the time after ovulation mainly. So you take 10 - 18 as being the fertile period

This causes problems in orthodox jews with long periods as the men arnt allowed near them for 7 days after the period stops - jeez I know some stuff

Cough Syrup is for her to drink 3 days before the ideal time (recomended dose once a day). It increases cervical mucous which improves the chances of your swimmers getting to the goal mouth - after that who knows. But it does work as intended thats for sure.

It's more accurate to work on Luteal Phase I think, which is length of time between ovulation and next period, and tends to also be 14 days (which is why standard cycle is 28 days) - so for those with a longer cycle they will ovulate later but still have a 14 day LP. things (stress etc) can delay ovulation but I think you LP doesn't change.

Northwind - funny as!

improves the chances of your swimmers getting to the goal mouth

A [url= http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2009/archive/69er3x9 ]69 [/url] will not help you at all. 😀

swimmers need time to develop. Take zinc bearing foods or supplements, it gives the swimmers more oooomph. Keep the target zone awash with swimmers, every couple of days is enough as they live about 4-5 days in the target zone. This takes the pressure off the timing thing forget about the timing, just have fun. Apparantly more passion helps - I think this is why alcohol contributes " I loove you hic"

The two main things that pissed me off was,couldn't ride my bike and no caffeine. It's meant to help with the quality assurance.

Your spermy friends will survive for 6 days.
Her oeuf, once released, has 24 hours to meet a keen sperm, before it falls out her bum or something odd like that.
Above are correct, with the idea that the egg is released circa 14 days before her period starts....

Ergo, you can only really fall pregnant by having sexy sex on 7 days of the cycle.....

Unless you're 16 and met the guy at a party - then it can happen at any time, with 3 forms of contraception....it seems....

Best doctor ever. I want you to be my GP.

[i]before it falls out her bum or something odd like that.[/i]

Med degree from Argos catalogue?

Ha ha sums my memory up - remembering more about random sexual practices rather than the details that might be useful!

DrP, do you agree that 3 days is the perfect vintage for jizz?

Shudders that someone would think I'm able to quantify that statement....

OP - Good luck, we anticipated a few months happy practicing. Son No1 result of first go unprotected, Son No2 result of celebrating Son No1's 1st birthday unprotected - what are the chances.....I was disconnected from the mains as soon as he had arrived safely.

Hope it works out whichever route you choose, metaphorically of course!

An update for any of those interested. MrsW is preggers 😀 GO SPERM!
It seems she was already up the duff when I started this thread.
First scan was last week, and the results are good. I'm absolutely over the moon. In case anyone ever considers missing the first scan; DON'T.
It is amazing seeing your baby for the first time.
Thanks for all of the advice, particularly darcy who has been very helpful and patient.....

So, what's the verdict then? Fresh recruits or veteran soldiers?

Congratualtions btw!!

Not sure, don't have the diary to hand 😀 . She got whatever I had....
I'm convinced stroke timing is everything.

Thanks!

Well done!

Congratulations!

Good thread, seems i missed it the first time around!
