I apologize...
...but i have SO many questions.
So i am going to ask them now and stop posting lol.
Right here goes:
I have bought Pre-Seed, is it as good as Zestica and should i only use it when i get my Peak on CBFM or use it when i get my highs too?
If i 'O' before i actually BD will that help to pull the sperm in a bit more - i usually 'O' through foreplay and then again when we BD (lucky me i know :P)?
Do they sell magazines for people TTC?
How long do you recommend leaving gravity to do its work before i can clean myself up - i have heard some people say they try and sleep on it?
Now i have my CBFM should i also start doing my BBT and checking my CM or does CBFM kind of do all the work for me by telling me my low/high/peak days?
I think that might be it, i am just so curious all the time lol.
I would appreciate any comments![:\](https://forum.madeformums.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

i try and sleep on it or if not 20-30 mins, but will hold off peeing and baths after if thats all, i got my first BFP by BD on all highs and peaks once at night just before bed... hence i don't do temp charting as cbfm worked first time last time for me!
Nope i don't think they do magazines but if you come across any let me know!!!!
er... is that it???? lol xx
Zestica/Pre-Seed is a sperm friendly lube that acts as a kind of cervical mucus.
CM- cervical mucus (you get it at a certain time in your cycle and when it resembles egg whites you are usually ovulating as the CM helps the sperm to the egg
BD - babydance or sex
CBFM - clearblue fertility monitor - a rather handy lil gadget that monitors your cycle and you pee on sticks when it asks you to and tells you where you are in your cycle and how fertile you are!!!
BBT- basal body temp
TTC - trying to conceive
'O' - the friendly one - orgasm!!!
Easy peasy see!!! x
I called my period my AF in front of my mum & sister the other day!! Oops! ha ha x
I used to have a best friend called Flo....
We tend to bd at night so I just sleep with it....
i've heard that the contractions from an orgasm actually help the sperm to move through the cervix so it's ideal for your OH to "finish" first
some pregnancy magazines address TTC but i dont think there are any specific ones
one of my fertility books said that semen coagulates immediately after it is ummm deposited
so i reckon 30mins allows enough time - any that aren't through by then pretty much aren't gonna make it
your BBT is good for confirming ov day AFTER it has happened - but make sure it isn't stressing you out - especially if you find it hard to remember or dont manage to do it at the same time every day
and it can get v stressful if you keep temping after ov as you are always worried it's going to fall. when we got our bfp i had actually stopped temping 3 days after ov (when FF confirmed my line) as i didn't want to get too obsessed
angie
I don't think O'ing before BD'ing will help, in fact it might hinder things unless you are good at O'ing with or just after your DH when you BD. Hope that makes sense.
Don't know of any magazines for people TTC, would be a good idea though.
Would definitely recommend a minimum 30 minutes with your bum raised after BD'ing. If you can leave it all night then it wouldn't do any harm.
Personally I'd let CBFM do all the work for you and wouldn't bother temping, etc.
As for abbreviations, never slipped up but often see them in the strangest of places, which always brings on a smile. Wishing you lots of luck xx
