Hi Everyone.. I have posted a few times on the pregnancy board because I thought I may have been pg recently. I had every symptom known and the blood test came back negative :eek: So my bf and I have decided to try and have one. I have a few things to ask..
1. I ovulate 6 days in my cycle.. is this normal? I asked my dr this and she looked at me as if I told her pigs flew. I was told that it was " impossible". Well I do and my luteal phase is like 12-14 days. When should me and my bf do the deed since I ovulate this early?
2. How long does it usually take for couples to finally concieve when they are TTC? I know everyone is different, I'd like some input.
3. This is the most embarrassing question, and I am sorry if it offends anyone. My bf has a medical condition and sometimes he cannot have an orgasm during sex. We were wondering if we would have a chance to still concieve if he ejaculated on his fingers and then finished me this way? I know that any type of semen can impregnate someone, but all I have found is about pre-ejaculation. Would his sperm survive until it was in me? Sorry again :o geez I am so embarrassed.
Good luck to all of you..

Dont be embarrased :)
If dh cant always manage then what about using a syringe? ok i know its not the most romantic way but i would think it would be more accurate than using fingers which it could run off. A syringe could 'shoot' it more accurately to where it needs to go. I think that would greatly increase chances that way.
As for the ovulating 6 days into your cycle, well my mom told me the other day, that the only way she got pregnant was BD'ing a few days after AF, and she was pregnant a total of 5 times (me, sis and 3 miscarriages).
Goodluck.

I guess most couples it takes 6 months to a year to get preggers, but then, there are people like me, who have been trying for 5 years.

How do you know that you ovulate on day 6 of your cycle? Do your chart your temps? Are your cycles only a total of 18-20 days long?
If you do use a syringe, make sure to research it. I have actually come across this online, it is called the turkey baster method (althuogh you do not use a turkey baster!). It is also called intracervical insemination since you deposit the semen with a syringe right near the cervix. But you have to deposit it slowly and try to tap all the air bubbles out of the syringe because i tis bad to get air bubbles in there - so do some research on it if that is what you want to do.
Good luck!

What I meant to say was that I begin having an increase in cm on day 6 of my cycle
(sorry). Thank you laurabelle for your advice.. I will research it more. It is my hope that dh I are able to concieve without this. You hear of all the stories about pregnancy with only pre ejactulation, so who knows. Thanks again.

Is he able to ejaculate, just not able to ejaculate during intercourse? With the syringe method, he would still need to be able to ejaculate, like into a cup, in order to then collect the semen.
Do you chart your temps? Do you know how long a full cycle is for you?

He is able to ejaculate, just sometimes not through intercourse. A full cycle for me is 26-28 days and I always start 2 days before or 2 days after the date of the previous month.. like I am due for either the 22nd or the 26th this month. I am honestly a little concerned that I won't do the syringe method correctly and cause some major problems. I have started charting my temps and I ovulated the 4th, come to think of it yeah that probably makes it the correct time then 13-14 days total into my cycle? AHHH all the math. Thanks again
