I think you need to cut him a little slack is all. It's your first cycle right? You don't even know when you ovulate yet.  I am sure when he suggested the everyday thing, he was thinking how awesome it was going to be to have sex all the time... and then maybe realized that it's not as much fun when you're tired or you feel pressured or it becomes like a job.  I promise you, one day isn't going to matter in the long run.

 

This! Plus, it has to make him feel used.

 For sure.  MH and I have a running joke that I'm only interested in him for his swimmers

 

 

HAHAHAHAHA! MH just said that to me the other day!! But I still try really hard not to make it seem scheduled.

LOL even when you are not pushing them into it and being spontaneous, they get an idea! The other night DH stopped me and goes "So what was your temperature this morning?" Aw, and I thought I was slick in those boyshorts!

Well he is the one that planned on the every other day method so that's why I am a little upset about it. And planning sex isn't that much fun but either is temping, and charting but everyone else does it, including you so are you sucking the fun out of baby making as well?

*Not trying to be a *** but that's just how I feel, no one every really talks about the stress/lack of fun with trying to conceive...until you find message boards like this*

Finally someone who stands up for themselves!

 

LOL. You, my dear, are starting to get on my nerves.

So Saucy- After reading this, I am beginning to think that we are the same person except you have red hair and can cook and I have brown hair and am slowly learning to cook. 

I stick by what I said yesterday: We are soulmates!

This. Emphasis on it if this is your 1st cycle.

Personally, no, I don't think charting and temping is fun, but I don't think that it is a good argument for putting pressure on your husband because you are involving yourself in the charting and temping on your own and it doesn't actaully have to involve anyone other than yourself.

I understand being upset, really I do--my H works 2 jobs and is in optometry school, so there are some nights he just comes home and crashes. You can't make it like a "business transaction" though (my H uses that phrase to describe sex lately). I see that your H is a cop--you should really go easy on him, I'm sure he's physically and mentally exhausted when he gets home.

Oh yeah, I definitely get the side eye, followed by "it's a peak day isn't it?" lol

I hear both sides.

Last monday, I was pretty sure I was going to O on Tue (and I did) so I came home from work and suggested we have sex. DH was super tired from a long day at work, it was already 8:45 when I got home. So I was a bit sad he declined. That day would have been key

 BUT, I wasn't mad at him. I don't want him to feel used.

 I can see what you mean - it's stressful. I will admit sex is more about baby making than pleasure these days. It's tough.

THIS!!!!!! My DH asks me for a break sometimes, so I let him have a breather

Ha ha my thoughts exactly!

 Ashley_Tucker your chart looks a lot like mine and we even started our cycles on the same day. Just an observation

Remember in high school and college when it was lame that the boy got pissy with the girl for not wanting to have sex? My, how things change....

Give the man a break. And maybe grow up a little and realize life happens despite efforts of baby making whether you like it or not.
