Ovulation calendars..

[Guy Incognito]

So, me and the missus are planning our 2nd child.

To help with this, the wife has downloaded a helpful calendar which charts when she is most fertile.
All she does is put down the date of when she "has the decorators in" and it works the rest out itself.

Now, I have no issue with this concept, I realize its best not to go at it all day and all night and i have to keep my shit swimming in right direction etc. But i have a problem with the calendar she has downloaded.

Now i have a feeling that some of you might think i am just being a twat here (nothing new there!)
but now when i switch the pc on - the following message appears:

Ovulation Calendar 2008
You are not fertile today, your chances of becoming pregnant are very slim.

Now to me that reads : THERE IS NO WAY YOU ARE GETTING A SHAG TONIGHT PAL

Instead of bein so blunt why cant there be a calendar you can download that could say:

Ovulation Calendar 2008

You are not fertile today, your chances of becoming pregnant are very slim,

however you never know your luck in a raffle and plus its great fun.

OR

Ovulation Calendar 2008

You are not fertile today, your chances of becoming pregnant are very slim,

please pass on this delete for Back Door Sluts 9 to your husband, he can put it to good use.

And then when it does finally give good news -
the calendar could wirelessly control the electrics in the house so that the lights dim and the stereo could play some Marvin Gaye or somethin.

I just dont want it to be so matter of fact, is that too much to ask?

Why can't people fuck for the sake of fucking anymore? That's sad, and reason I never want to get married/have kids.

people do f for the sake of it but if when trying for kids you do that then you wont get anywhere. And there is a fair chance of your opinions changing (possibly in a heartbeat, thats how quick it can happen). Its like a primary objective of a human being.

And besides i am 34 and my wifes 36 and we have 18month old daughter, if we had the energy, time, stamina left in us then we probably would go for it a bit more but to be honest you get to the stage where you just think fuck it, lets have a brew watch a bit of telly and go sleep. I get nearly as much pleasure from taking my shoes off after work as i do from sex, how sad is that?

Also - i definitley did not write "pass this delete for back door sluts 9 etc"? What the hell happened there - i wrote "link"

[ms.peachy]

Wait a minute - you guys have an 18 month old, and you have sex?

Mr.p and I are still to work out how on earth we are meant to accomplish this, as Mattie seems to have some sort of internal alarm that alerts her in the night if either of us even thinks about possibly maybe touching eachother's naughty bits.

Thank god it's not just me. :D

Peachy, do you think that if me and the wife did have the time, inclination and stamina to have regular sex that i would have spent time ranting about ovulation calendars?

Its more the fact that now the inclination is there that a random bloody computer programme is twisting the knife in and its winding me up!

And as for effing for effings sake - i am afraid that novely wore off ages ago.

[Guy Incognito]

just thought i'd resurrect this thread to mention that after only 2 months of trying my wife is expecting our 2nd child. Although we planned it, am still in shock on how quickly its happened and now i have a million things running round my brain! Its all good tho.

have you checked out the billings method (http://www.billings-centre.ab.ca/)yet?

it's suppose to be really accurate. instead of taking your temperature to figure out when you are ovulating , instead...and this will sound gross to some people, but it's determined by the texture of the mucus discharge from the vagina.

now fertile mucus is streachy. if you put it between your fingers it streches out and looks like egg whites. this type of mucus is ONLY present during ovulation and the streachyness allows for the sperm to swim through it and get to the egg.


non fertile mucus is not strechy. it's more like a gooey booger. this type of mucus actually blocks sperm from getting to the egg. so it is present when a woman is not fertile.

no if your lady is just not a woman who produces much vaginal discharge then the Billings method might be harder to master. (and if she's squemish about touching her own vagina goo then it won't be good either) but for most ladies with average discharge it works quite nicely. check it out.

i reckon the wife would have had a go at that. No need now:) 2 kids - wow!

[hpdrifter]

Congrats!

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Congrats! (y)

[abcdefz]

You're really in for it, now, pal.

[mikizee]

congrats.

Kids arent for me i dont think. im far too selfish.

[AceFace]

oh WOW! how exciting! congrats!!!!!!!

i'm having a tough time right now with all of this.... my husband and i decided long ago not to have kids. we don't even LIKE kids. but boy do i sometimes get that overwhelming "gotta have one" feeling. sometimes it's too much to handle!

i def don't want kids, but my body sure does!

[AceFace]

congrats.

Kids arent for me i dont think. im far too selfish.

i used to think of it that way, but it's not selfish not to want kids. it's selfish to have a kid and ignore it and do everything you want to do and not bring the kid up right. you've just made a good choice by listening to the kind of person you are. :)

[cookiepuss]

i reckon the wife would have had a go at that. No need now:) 2 kids - wow!

yeah sorry...obviously i didn't read the whole thread. but hey if you ever decide to go for a third, it's all about he pussy juice. lol.(y)

congrats on your recent procreation!

[ms.peachy]

i used to think of it that way, but it's not selfish not to want kids.

I think mikizee meant, too selfish to be a good parent, not that not wanting a kid in the first place is selfish. (It can be argued that having a child is actually about the most selfish thing a person can do. I don't neccessarily agree, but I can see the argument.)

IMO choosing not to have a kid is a totally reasonable choice. No one should have one because they feel like it is expected of them, if it isn't something they want to do. But, if that's the choice you make,( that's a rhetorical you by the way, not directed at anyone in particular) I feel like you're quite possibly missing out on one of the most fundamental experiences of being a human being. In a way I hate to say that because I know several people who have tried desperately to have a baby but couldn't, and a statement like that would I'm sure sound very hurtful. But there are times in my life when I am stressed or going through stuff and I think to myself about other women, other mothers of young children, who are doing their best to cope in the most horrible situations - war, famine, disease, poverty, abuse - and I don't know, I just feel like there is this thread that connects us all, and I'm just awed by how they manage to survive, and it gives me strength to cope with whatever comparatively minor issue it is that I am faced with. I read something somewhere, not long ago but I can't remember where, but this man said something like "It didn't happen the moment my child was born, but slowly over that first year, I came to understand why I am." It's an odd turn of phrase, but it makes perfect sense to me.

btw - Guy - way to impregnate! Go you!(y)

[hpdrifter]

I don't know as I'd call what you've had to go through in the last year minor (even comparatively) but I get what you're saying.

Although I am all about the pussy juice usually :eek:I think it will be all about the vasectomy to be honest - thats summat to look forward to!:rolleyes: And a-z, your'e prolly right but if its as good as it is now with one 18 month old who grows in so many ways by the hour, it should be great.

cheers all

[ms.peachy]

I don't know as I'd call what you've had to go through in the last year minor (even comparatively) but I get what you're saying.

Everything is relative. Yes I've had my share of crazy stressful shit to deal with, but at the same time, I have always had clean, safe hot and cold running water; abundant access to healthy, nutritious food; I can go to sleep being reasonably certain that armed men are not going to come into my house and drag my husband out into the night never to be seen again; and I can go out to the market without worrying (for the most part) that I might get blown up, or find my house has been bombed whilst I was out. So I'm thinking, compared to those things, you know, my shit is pretty small, right?

[gbsuey]

fantastic news-two's a good number. i'm sure sticking with it!

[Guy Incognito]

we had our 2nd scan the other day and we found out that baby is a boy. I sorta wanted a girl cos it would be easier and cheaper. But thats just me thinking short term and being a penny pincher. Its all good, we will be a proper nuclear family in November.

:confused:

[Guy Incognito]

:confused:

oh sorry - we already have a 2 year old girl so we have a load of clothes we dont need now , have to buy some boys clothes and i need to repaint the nursery at some point soon and probably other things i havent thought of.

[gbsuey]

congrats!! i'm sure your daughter will adore having a baby brother and i totally understand the cheap thing-we had two boys so saving all of zeb's things paid off and my youngest is now inundated by stuff! more than he needs

i was reading a thing in the paper at the weekend about siblings and how more often than not kids who share a room are closer-obviously different sex kids get their own space earlier than same-sex but even a few years together in a room can be really bonding. we only have a two bed and can't afford to extend yet allthough we have the space to so my boys are sharing and i don't know if it helps but they're really close -except when they're kicking each other of course!!
sorry-i digress a LOT!
