TTC After a Loss

AM nookie fail

Damnit... I was trying to surprise him this morning before work to get in another BD session since he tends to be more "up" for it in the morning. Yeah not so much, the whole time he's checking the clock saying "I'm going to be late for work" to which I reined myself in from saying "You know I read somewhere sperm quality is better in the morning" cause yeah I knew that wouldn't help but... Seriously. wtf. Finally I just got up and started doing my routine cause I was so pissy with him. This is of course followed by last nights near disaster where we got halfway thru and things stalled. We eventually got the job done but jeez, come on man. You've been b!tching about condoms for the last 3 months, get over yourself already. Cripes.

Note to self: Never mention O time again.

Re: AM nookie fail

  • I feel your pain (or frustration in this case). We had 2 days in a row of the "loss of mojo" last week and I'm pretty sure this cycle is a bust. I usually keep O time on the down low, but DH did the math this month and it resulted in performance anxiety. At the worst time ever. Grr.

  •  I hate when that happens.  Last cycle, we tried having sex mostly in the AM and it was not fun.  I am a evening person when it comes to sex, so it was wierd.  Now, my thinking is that anytime I can get sperm, is good for me.  Definitely don't mention that you Oed to your DH, especially not before sex!  I have made that mistake few times before.  You still have time to get it on. 

  • oh boo! I think it's easy for all that pressure to get them. I tried getting some love juice out of DH last night and by the time I got out of the shower he was asleep on the couch Sad. I figure I'd cut him some slack since I haven't gotten a +OPK yet and I was sleepy too. Hopefully you and your DH can squeeze in some lovin' tonight if he's not too tired.

  • I'm sorry. :(  I've discovered that I have to keep O time, this board, OPKs, and everything else related to TTC a secret from DH because it messes with his mind.  Add that to the list of things to worry about: trying to make everything seem spontaneous instead of planned.  As if things weren't hard enough already!

  • We've had lots of issues with this kind of stuff. Everytime I promise myself I won't be mad at him because it doesn't help, and everytime I am. It's like- you're a guy, your supposed to want all the sex you can get! But it's not true, and other than FWP time, that is also something I love about him.

    Try again tonight?

  • That sucks.  I learned early to keep O time a secret from DH.  He claims that it isn't sexy and doesn't even want to hear it outside of the bedroom.  Last week, I was trying to seduce him in the morning, because I was sure I had O'd the evening before and I wanted to get one last shot in.  He was not into it and while eventually it happened, it was really frustrating.  

    It sucks that it seems like we all have to jump through so many hoops.

  • I should have known better than to tell him about O but jeez... he knew after I had the SIS done and we were cleared so I guess I'll just have to back off but dang... its hard not to put the pressure on cause seriously, all I care about is the sperm. I can't say that of course, but cripes. He was trying to be all lovey dovey last night and it was so hard not to say - Hurry up already and give me the goods!

    I think I might have to pull out the lingerie or something cause jeez... tonight I will not be shot down. We're supposed to go visit a friend and have a drink but I might just tell him to go home and take a nap so he won't be so tired. Sheesh. Seriously when we had to tta, he was constantly trying to bend the rules, now... gah. Men.!

  • Pressure is not a good thing for guys.  I've tried to keep everything a secret, but I think DH is on to me now.  Hope he's rarin' to go tonight - GL!
