I have just come down with some kind of sick bug and its CD10. According to charts the is my fertile window and I should be ovulating soon. I'm sure this sounds funny but is it ok to ttc when your sick? I am hoping its just a cold and doesn't turn into anything worse but i don't want to miss this chance becausw I just started using OPK too. Anyone have some advice :-)

I TTC when I was sick. It wasn't very romantic, but I got pregnant! If anything, your weakened immune system can actually help your body stick a pregnancy. Take some Robitussin, and your CM will be even better.

:-) thanks. I feel awful but now am excited to practice (or so my husband calls it)

Go for it!

We needed to "prep" for my fertile window on Wednesday when I was sick! It was awkward because we didn't kiss since I didn't want to get DH sick and, like Adrienne said, it wasn't very romantic, but we managed! Just try to focus on him since he's the one who needs to enjoy it enough to finish. My fertile window is also this weekend and, while I'm feeling a bit better, I'm still not well enough for it to be romantic!

Well GL looks like we have a pretty close cycle. Maybe this will be our time to shine :-)

As long as my illness didn't delay O! I hope not, but if I O on schedule it should be by Tuesday!

My O day is supposed to be on Wed according to my O day last month (that my Dr confirmed) and to charts I have.

You can definitely BD when you're sick! And if you're worried about germs or coughing or something... there's always doggie style

[blueeyes25s]

If you feel up to it...go for it. I have heard the same thing Adrienne said, you chances of conceiving is higher when your sick. If you have a stuffy nose...making out is supposed to help that so if DH don't mind sharing germs go for it

[Belita]

My OPK started getting darker today (I get progression OPKs) so as soon as DH walked in I say "do you want sick sex again?!" He said it sounded oh, so appealing.

TTC is a nasty business with DTD while ill, CM, checking CP....

[SFGiantsGirl]

I hope you start to feel better. Its no fun DTD when your sick but when TTC we women do what we gotta do lol!! Guys don't care...haha!! Thankfully!

Hope this little illness actually works and makes the baby bean!! God luck!!

Good luck!
