Hi Ladies!


Thanks for all of your positive input on my last post! :) So... big news.. I tried it today. I did the OPK as well, and I was full on ovulating. Very exciting considering that I haven't had O in a very long time. I guess the weight loss really is helping a lot! I did the at home "turkey basting". To be honest, I've never really seen the semen quite like that before, and I was a little grossed out... lol :) I mean I've seen it before, obviously, but anyways... So, I inserted it, and was able to get all of it in, and propped myself up for 20 minutes like I was supposed to... and I am really positive about the experience! I think I have a really good chance. We'll see what happens! I'm going to test in 2 weeks, and if it works, then I'll definitely let everyone know!


Thanks Girls! :)

Rosie, I can't wait to see how it turns out for you! I think you've given a bunch of us who have different schedules as their DH's new hope to not miss out on a month!!

I hope the turkey basting was successful!

I was wondering the same thing. I thought sperm died after several seconds or minutes.

Yeah, wait until you hear what I did to try to get pregnant.


I'm still not sure what it was that worked for us.


We got pregnant the first cycle we started trying for our second.


We wouldave sex, but sometimes sex is painful for me, so I'd have to let my hubby masturbate while I helped in other ways, and then right at the end, I'd jump on again.


Then afterwards (I'm not saying I recommend this, as it could cause infection) however, I would stick my finger in myself, and move my finger all around and try to get the hubby's little men concentrated right on my cervix.


Honey, trust me at this point, whatever works for people is whatever works for people.

From the information that I have read, as long as it is at body temperature than the sperm are fine. I used the sperm immediately after he got done, and then he had to run out of the house. He just put it in a
