DH said he needed a break

katiedollaz

Well last night I was trying to drag my DH into the bedroom again for BD to try and get me KU this month. He's like I need a break. LOL. We have been going strong for last 4-5 days so I get it. I let him off the hook but in the back of my mind I was like well now i may have missed our chance. Oh man...anyone else out-sex their DH and wear him out.

That sounds so romantic. I can't imagine why he wanted a night off.

LOL! Not yet, but we've only been trying for 5 months (charting for 4 cycles). He actually told me the other day "I have NO problem with all this BD!"...I'm sure he might be singing a different tune come cycle 8 or 9.

Looking at your chart, I think you're fine.  It seems that you already ovulated.  Having sex yesterday would have almost a 0 chance of getting you KU.

Yep.  Last cycle we hit 6 days in a row.  We were fine through the 4th day... but the 5th was a disaster and we were so tired it was not fun sex.  It was like work.  The 6th day wasn't as bad, but we were both glad that I had finally gotten my CH so we could stop for a while.  We just had sex again last night for the first time since then.

Lol!

Yeah OP, maybe don't make it such of a chore and more of a fun activity. Don't tell your DH that its just to get you KU, let him think its just for fun. That should help.

I'd suggest not making it about "getting you KU". Have sex with your husband because it's fun and you enjoy it. He might be feeling sort of pressured.

I definitely don't out-sex my DH...he could go almost every day and I can't.

katiedollaz

No kidding. LOL. I didn't add I worked a little flirting magic in there too to try to get him going but he's like I am pooped. oh well

MKeene25

All the time!!! I think it's pretty sad. He always says "I'm a man, not a machine!"

 LOL

BS, get your crap together and let's go...

juliane2004

Yup, been there.

It looks like you ovulated on CD 13, so I'd relax You're in the 2ww, I'd bet.

Good suggestions. Well like day 1-4 are fun but the 5 & 6 day gets a little tiring for me too I must admit. Hopefully what we did is enough. I guess we will see

Well in our case, we both wanted to... but we just aren't used to it.  We are going to try a little different timing this cycle.  

katiedollaz

I agree. Just though it was funny!

This is awesome. HA!

If you're wanting to respond to something specific that someone said, hit "quote" instead of "respond". We have no idea what you're saying is awesome if there's no quote text.

Thanks so much. I never knew how to do that.

We tried 8 days straight our 2nd month TTC, I immediately invested in a BBT after that little stint so we could time things more accurately. No more marathon fvck sessions, ever

Meh, if my husband isn't feeling it, we don't. I don't force or coerce him to. We just pick up the next day instead.

Something similar happened to me last night. Hubby was stuck in traffic for 3 HOURS trying to get home (usually a 20-30 minute drive). He had worked late so there went his entire evening. He was tired, he was grumpy, he had to get up early for a stupid workshop today, and he did NOT want sex. I didn't even ask, and in fact insisted he not make himself try (lots of "I just don't want to. OK, we can, I know it's important to you..." back and forth). I think I *probably* already ovulated so I'm *probably* fine, but things are still up in the air and there was a little voice in the back of my mind being pettishly disappointed.

I figure he's always been good when I don't want sex, so I've gotta respect him...and I'll just plan for ED so if it ends up EOD I'm still good ;-)

Glad we are in the same boat. good luck

My DH is pretty much up for doing sex anytime, but my vag couldn't handle an excessive amount of sex. We try to keep it sexy by not pointing out that I am O'ing so that it doesn't seem like a chore or job. Me pretty much telling him I want sex is key enough for him to know it's that time.

EOD sex is fine. If you and YH aren't enjoying ED sex, don't do it. You can still get KU just fine with EOD sex.

mrslaurah

My DH thinks too much...he understands that we can't have a baby without having sex, but he just overthinks it.  Temping has helped....we still try to keep it fun and not add any more pressure than we need to, but focus on the days we need to focus on.  Good luck to you!!
