Pippa and I must be on the same wave length.

RajahMD I need to understand why you jumped in to respond after almost 2 days. I saw that they seemed have a civil conversation that had ended and you purposely riled everyone up again. What did you really accomplish by stirring the pot like that again?

I brought it up because it's been bugging me for the past few days. I felt that the question regarding the timing of sex was over the line. I didn't want to start drama, I just wanted to voice my opinion that it was uncalled for and insensitive. Admittedly, it hit close to home even though it wasn't directed at me because we have timing issues due to a variety of factors.

By coming into the thread the way you did, starting drama is exactly what you did. So again I'll ask what was the point in doing so, other than to make sure everyone knew you had an opinion.

Since when is it not ok to ask about sex timing? It's not like she wrote, "I noticed you've only have sex once. You should do it more."

I mean this with absolutely no snark whatsoever but I think some people are reading way too much into what this chick wrote.

It's okay to ask someone why they're not having more sex when they're dealing with IF? I guess I find that to be a little obnoxious. To me, it sounded like she was insinuating that her problem was that she wasn't having enough sex which obviously wasn't the case. If she looked at her post history she would have seen that.

She never wrote that though. Like I wrote, reading too much into what was actually written. Also why does someone dealing with IF come into play here? This isn't the IF thread or 3T.

I'm not a newb and I very rarely look at post history. Mostly because I'm mobile and it's a PITA but also because lazy. It shouldn't be a requirement for everyone to do that just because some people choose to.

Shit, I thought it was a requirement. Now I don't have any other activities to help me avoid being productive at work.

So we have to ignore when someone is dealing with IF now? Come on. She didn't need to read any post history to see what cycle she's on. Maybe I am reading too much into it but apparently I'm not the only one. Either way, it's not my hill to die on.

I think there is a whole lot of reading into things too much going on in this thread. I read all the way through and I get that it was a stupid question on the newb's part. However, it should not have been made into an IF thing.

Girl please. We all know you have a freakish memory and don't need to look at anyone's post history.

But ask me where my car keys are. Go ahead.

No, because God forbid the topic of IF ever leaves the IF thread or 3T.

Really, dude? Fine, make this your hill. Like I already said I read the thread. This is not about someone having an IF diagnosis. This about people blowing up at a new poster for not being aware of someone's history. Would you blow up at someone asking these questions to a person has been TTC for 3 months? No. No, you fucking wouldn't.

Look. I dealt with IF too. I get it. But I didn't go into the TWW or any other thread for that matter and expect that people were gonna treat me a certain way just because I had IF. That's not how the world works. I also understand that everyone deals with shit differently so I'm not trying to tell anyone how to act or whatever. But, Sugabee asked a harmless question that got misunderstood, misconstrued, whatever. All I'm saying is that's dumb to pile on someone who seemed to be trying to offer support in her own way.

Got it. But if someone upsets my friend, don't expect me not to say something to them about it. That's not how the world works either. I don't expect any special treatment but if she took two minutes to read a couple posts then daisy818 wouldn't have been upset and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. That's all I was saying.

I didn't blow up on her so I don't know why you're saying that. And yeah, I think it's pretty weird to be like "is there a reason you're not having sex more?" whether you're TTC 3 months or 3 years.

OMG! I didn't say you did. I said people in the thread did, followed by a hypothetical question where I used the word "you".
You know, maybe you haven't noticed that I haven't disagreed that it was a weird question. I guess I need to clarify what my problem is in this thread which was another poster unnecessarily stirring the pot. If you had taken the time to read my post history you would know that.

I am new on this forum, but post regularly on other TTC forums. I read through this thread...and geesh, lots of stuff going on. But I would have to disagree. I am not defending sugabee, but actually I have seen quite a few people ask poster's about when and how often they are having sex (even after seeing charts).

Sometimes, people mistakenly think they need to have sex only on Ovulation day to get pregnant. Or they believe the misnomer of "you only have to have sex once to get pregnant" and do not realize that increasing their frequency of sex during the FW will likely improve chances. I am not saying that Daisy didn't know all of this, but there are many people who don't know that. Surprisingly, I did not know that until I started reading TCOYF and researching. Just my two cents.

lilsneezy , Not sure if that was snarky or not... but you are welcome!

I do think her question definitely could have been phrased better, but it's not completely out of the realm of the stuff that gets asked on TTC boards.

I mean, everything from cervical mucus to other bodily functions gets discussed...so sex doesn't seem that taboo to me.

Yeah. I registered today after learning about it from other forums. I am active other ones like I mentioned. I have also lurked. What's so interesting? This thread has a lot of activity, so it's literally the first one that pops up. Should I not post on any threads?

There are hundreds of users on this site and many that register every day. No, I am not sugabee. I didn't even defend her and said her question was odd, I simply said asking about sex is not unusual...on a site that talks about having sex. Paranoid much? Just because I offered a different perspective than you agree with....I must be the other poster! Haha. Ok.

Oh. So sex once during FW isn't enough to get me pregnant. Damn. And here I was thinking it only took once.

Well, it only takes one try if you do a headstand and hold it for 30 minutes 


Edited: This was actual advice from my cousin who got KU on her first try...and did this. So it must be legit.

You know better than that. It takes 10 times plus a witch doctor and a full moon. Chocolate flavored lubricant is also helpful, but not required.

Do you do a headstand or handstand? I read that handstands are better because they require more concentration.

No, no, no. You have it all wrong. Your FW has to be facing the full moon so you can see it while you're having sex.

Actually there aren't a lot of people who intro everyday. This is the only thread you participated in besides your intro which was made four hours ago. The timing just seemed a little weird. And some of your details are the same as sugabees. I'd reference sugabee's posts but they seem to have been deleted, which is also strange. But hey, if you say you're not her then you're not her. Welcome!

Good question...I should have clarified with my cousin. She may have been confusing the two. She is our resident expert on getting knocked up...3 tries, 3 children....she is as fertile as they come apparently. So clearly knows all things related to fertility and conceiving.

I have ganglion cyst on my wrist so headstands only--with wall support.

Please intro on the main board. We like to hear formal introductions that may or may not be used as ammo at a later date. 🙂

lilsneezy, Well, I am in the TWW...not WTO, so I came here to post. There are like no other posts on this board right now that make sense to join. All the others are incredibly specific (like IF, or some kind of christmas present thing). Is there another thread I should be posting on?

I originally came to post my stats for TWW, but saw this got de-railed. So figured, what's the point of posting it? It's the last day anyway of this thread's dates.

I don't know sugabee's stats...but if she has ferrets and lives in New Mexico, I would love to meet her!
