So cranky at DH right now

robbensm

I haven't been pushing the BDing just yet because I've had very faint testing lines on my OPKs and no CM.  But yesterday was CD15 so I figured we should probably start getting busy anyway.  Last night he totally shot me down - I got home later then I planned from hanging out with a friend (who I haven't seen in over two months) and he said he was too tired & his back was hurting.  At first I was miffed because we had talked about this & how we may have to just power through some times even if we don't feel in the mood if this is going to happen.  But I decided not the push the issue because I didn't have signs that O was anywhere close.

So this morning my temp took a dip, I have a tone of EWCM, and I get an almost positive OPK which history tells me I will probably ovulate TODAY!!!  I am so cranky at him for shooting me down and so cranky with myself for not pushing the issue!  I know we still have time if we BD tonight & tomorrow plus we BDd on Sunday but it still irritates me........grrrrrr. 

OK venting over - thanks for listening.

What a bummer! BUT, you're not out yet!

My DH and I had a few of those "ships passing in the night" months where things never seemed to work out. FWIW, I tend to mention that we didn't really hit the window very well a week or more after the fact. Then it's less adversarial, more conversational.

And those evenings when my DH is not in the mood, he can usually be persuaded in the mornings!

Anyway, I'm sorry you're irritated; I totally understand and empathize with your frustration!

Thanks!  I'm a little better now and more cranky at myself then him and just frustrated with the whole process.  I'm happy that the clomid seems to be making me ovulate regularly but at the same time it adds all this extra pressure knowing that you only get a limited number of cycles on it - as if there wasn't already enough pressure on us.

I was wondering if you were on Clomid this cycle. I thought (I've never been on it, so this is my ignorance showing!) that they gave you a set schedule of dates to hit?

We were the opposite last night, DH wanted it but I would like to let the sperm build up for a few days before it's go time!!

Did you have an u/s this week to check follicle size? I go tomorrow morning, hoping to see something nice sized!! and hoping I don't get 4 days of smiley's again this time. Thought I would never ovulate!

No ultrasound this cycle, just CD21 BW and if no BFP we move on to more testing for both of us.  Doc said to try to BD at least every other day around CD10-12 until I get a positive OPK and then three nights in a row.  We did CD12 and should have again on Tuesday but I got home really really late that night and since the earliest I have yet to O is CD18 thought we were safe to push it to last night.  As my Daddy likes to say "That's what you get for thinking!"  I know if we hit today and tomorrow then we should still be good if I O today.

And I'm going to try to think of it like you said - by skipping two days his little army of swimmers should be larger in numbers and ready for action by tonight.

Robbensm, question on your CD21 bw, is it supposed to be testing O? I ask because my cd21 bloodwork has caused my OB to give me drugs...I suspect I O after 21 so I think cd21 bw should be 7dpo?

Correct me if I am wrong, I am still kinda new at all this!!
