Um..Loki? About that whole orgasm thing... redface What... *cough* What if you -don't.- I mean, at all. ^^; Does that cause trouble?
I heard about the hip-raised theory, though. We're also trying the every-three-days thing, because (HOORAY) we got insurance and so now I can actively TRY! YAY! I am officially TTC! *does a dance*
*cough* Ok, I'm through.

I was talking to a female friend a few months ago that she has never had an orgasm during sex, she was quite embarrased about it, and if i went into any more detail than that, i'm quite sure i'd be at risk of getting something cut off.
But if you're a bit worried, or you think theres something wrong with you, you could look up a couple of the thousands of sexual education sites on the net and see what they have to say.

*cough* Ok, I'm through. From what I understand, it isn't neccessary for the female to orgasm during intercorse, it only helps to nudge the little suckers up to where the egg is. It is quite common for many women to not be able to orgasm from intercorse stimulation alone or not to orgasm at all. Perhaps start trying a bunch of new positions and techniques (if you're not already). That may help you discover a position that could work for you... then again, it may not. Like I said, some women just can't. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, or that you'll never get pregnant, it just means you're stimulated best by other means (which millions of women are the same way). The best possible advice I could give is to not put pressure on yourself or him to conceive. Always keep it fun and relaxing. That's when the magic happens wink . And, like I said, you orgasming is NOT neccessary for conception to occur, it just helps a bit.

Loki: Oh, good. I was a little concerned. Then again, I guess I should have known better, since not orgasming isn't exactly good birth control, ne?
I have another question: How often should we test? I know that every week is probably -best-, since it would make pinpointing conception easier, but OMG those tests are expensive! Is there a good time to test? Or does anyone know where I can get cheaper tests? (Are the cheaper ones any less reliable than the expensive ones? I mean, Wal-Mart brand are only a few bucks, vs the ten something for those nationwide ones.)
EDIT: I found a website that offers 20 tests for under $20 here. I'm not sure if they're worth the money, though. Any ideas?

Hi, my name's Auron, and I'm Kyoki's IRL husband. This is my first time in here, so be nice, ok? I'm just wondering if I can get some advice from other dads. Now that we're actively TTC, any advice would be... helpful. (You can imagine I'm a little nervous.) I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that I'm trying to be a daddy. I'm excited, but its nerve-wracking too. Kii says that there are a lot of dads here who'll help... so... help?

And don't worry, we're all nice ^__^. We do have some other dads here, just give 'em a day or so and they should be able to post up with their experiences as well. Good luck to y'all! I hope you are able to conceive as soon as you want to. The best advice I can offer is to just have fun with it! 3nodding

my hubby and I had been trying for years to have a baby, it all happened when we bought a house and stopped "trying".. one important thing is to relax, if you are tensed up about getting pregnant,it is going to take longer.. it just happened that one month we didn't get around to doing anything untill about 10 days after the first day of my cycle and boom I was preggy.
So tell you hubby to keep his pants on and wait for 10 days after the first day of you cycle and have fun starting on that 10th or 11th day. His sperm count will be at the high point (because he has been saving it up) and you will have started your fertile time. Have it every 2nd day till about 2 weeks after you finished your cycle. Every other day gives his sperm count a chance to add up again. Good Luck
oh and taking the Folic Acid is an excellent idea!!

Hi Everyone. I am CC. I would like to be a mommy one day. We have been trying for a few years now. It is has been said that I won't be able to conceive. However, even if it comes out that I can. I will have to pass on that option. I would much rather adopt now.
As far as TTC, I did try something that told me when I was most fertile. My husband is asleep so I can't step in there at the moment to look at what the machine is called. I am sure calling it a thingamajig won't help. lol. I will post again once I have the name.
Folic Acid you say.. hmm. interesting.
I hope to get to know many of you. I am new to the forum but thankful I found some adults.
Hugs, CC

Well, the most accurate and best time to test to see if you're pg, is 10 days after the first day of your missed period. BUT there are tests out there that can detect the hormone the first day of your missed period, btu they are costly and not as effective. The first urine of the day is best as well.
Welcome to your hubby! I hope you like it here and best of luck TTC!
OH, I know Walmart's brand is cheaper BUT it does come with two pg tests instead of one, which really cements it in for me.

I would suggest not testing unless you've actually MISSED a period or have a really light one...with no "tissue" for lack of better terminology. I think since the number one peice of advice is to have fun and relax, if you're testing testing testing all the time you may just get fed up.
I unfortuneatly don't have any advice for women with problems trying to concieve. We decided we wanted a kid, I took my last pill in October and by the end of november we were pregnant.
Basically, we just upped the amount of sex we were having and AT LEAST had sex once a week (though since we were trying we did have sex more often than that once a 24 hour period basically). Then the day after I was supposed to have my period I took the test.
I'm "lucky" I guess when it comes to trying to concieve.

*sighs* I guess it's time to schedule -another- doc's appt, huh? My aunt is the same way, with the no period thing, and she still got pregnant twice, so I don't imagine it will be a lot of worry.
Btw? We're not worrying about getting pregnant. We're just... questing, as it were. XD The only time I worry about anything is if there's a deadline. Since my "get pregnant!" deadline is "Before I die" I think I have a lot of time. whee
