TTC After a Loss

Need help in "the deed" department

Ok, so my honey is not great at "doin' it" on demand - and who can blame him? It doesn't help that I haven't especially been in the mood either. I'm hoping that some of you who have maybe had or are having this issue deal with it.

I think he feels pressured - even though under different circumstances it wouldn't be a big deal.

Any tips?

  • Does he want to know when it is time?

    When my DH doesn't want to BD, I usually give him a BJ and he's all good and ready to go.

    I've tried this and it worked once. I left my damn OPK on the counter and he saw it and asked what the lines meant so of course now he knows and is feeling the pressure.

    I think in the future I just won't tell him.... probably my best bet, huh?

  • I don't tell him unless he asks. Or unless he's planning to make stupid plans and I remind him that next week might be a good baby-making week, so I'd rather he be home/available/sober. I always make sure and initiate at various times of the cycle so he is none the wiser. ;)

    I am going to have to hide them also.  He says he does not want to know and wants to just go about it the old fashioned way like we did before.  Just BDing all the time and hoping for the best but I'm not down for that this time.

    I'm with you! I'm too neurotic to just "let it happen." I'm way too type A for that (unfortunately). When I do something, it's either all or nothing... I know I should probably calm down a bit.

    This & the BJ thing. What's weird is my DH can smell when I O and knows when I'm going to get AF. He always know even when I say nothing.

    This is so ME! I can't count the number of times people have told me to "just relax" and "don't stress about it" and "just let it happen", etc. I know I should change and I wish I could relax, but let's face it - IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

  • BJ, wine, role playing...
  • Wear something sexy, that you wouldn't normally wear. This always gets my DH ready to go!!! and a BJ always helps
