TTC after 35

Has this happened to you?

You temp, chart and use your OPKs . . . you have found your perfect fertile window BUT. . . DH is too tired?  

I get it, he's 39 and doesn't love the idea of baby-making sex nearly as much as the "just for fun" sex but come on. . . I'm 40!  We have a 20 month old, so that doesn't help either but it's so hard to feel like I just sat and watched a perfectly good month go by.

Please tell me I'm not alone. . . in the lame DH department.  :)

  • I run into that problem sometimes... and I don't think age has anything to do with it because my husband is 34... he just likes to be lazy.

    Oh you aren't alone!  (Glad to see I'm not the only one with a hubby younger than me).  Some weeks he's all over me for it every night.  Other weeks if I don't start something - we just don't do anything.  I've yet to get a smiley face from the OPK this month, but when I do - he best be rested up because it IS going to happen!!

    Good luck!

    Married September 2010, ttc since August 2010. So far - nothing
    Me: 40, Husband: 33
    After an emergency D&C on Nov 8, 2011, we are giving up hope of ever becoming pregnant.

    I quit telling DH too but then if he wasn't up for sex (no pun intended) and we missed our time, he'd say, "Well you have to tell me so I can get my game face on."

  • Yep, same thing with my DH and he's 32.  I make him take a nap in the afternoon so he'll be ready to go at bedtime.
