[Closed] babymaking.......

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.

Robutissun chesty cough syrup works (call it an old wives tale but it did do as intended for us) - seems grapefruit juice does too.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Congratulations wrecker, great news!

Congratulations to the wreckers

Aww shucks. 😳 Thanks you guys.
I never for a moment thought that I'd be this excited. My wife (who prompted this baby stuff) keeps telling me to calm down and that there's still 6 months to go. I can't help it!
Just need to make sure I'm a better dad than mine was. Talk about aiming low!

Congratulations! We'll look forward to the ensuing "What...." threads 🙂

In line with the OP; in 6 months time it'll be Xmas, you could have the 2nd coming...

Congrats 🙂

Congrats, anyway

I'm strangely reminded of this post....
