babieslove,
=) of course saying is easier than to be done but practice makes perfect ya.. hahaa.. =P joining a forum allows us to share the sweat and tears of having our own child.. so jia you!
there used to be a list of abbreviations but it's archived somewhere in this thread liao.. hahaa..
BD = baby dancing = making love =P
not sure if the tilting works but it is supposed to help your DH's (darling husband, i suppose) spermies to swim towards their goal, i.e. the egg! haaa.. with the help of the gravity pull. Try lah, no harm mah.. =P
bbt = Basal Body Temperature
it's the temp that you take in the morning when you wake up. It's really the first thing that you do after opening your eyes lor, that means no going to the toilet or even sitting up.. I put my thermometer under pillow and once the alarm clock sounds off i'll reach our for my thermometer to measure the temp. It's measured using a more sensitive thermometer called the bbt thermometer, which measure to 2 decimal point.
monitoring the bbt allows you to pin point your ovulation date and thus the fertile period.. =) so that you and DH will BD during the fertile period instead of just misfiring mah.. increase your chance of conceiving.
but then again, some say it kind of adds pressure to the couple if they are monitoring the bbt.. and may lead to a loss of interest in making love (ML) with their DH because it is ML for the sake of having a baby...
bottom line: know your fertile period, make love and enjoy the intimate moments with your DH and don't be stressed about wanting to have a baby!!! I hope that helps for myself too.. hahaa.. and a new cycle a new hope! so don't worry too much okie? hugs!
