Those of us TTC

I never thought I would ask this but..

Anyone else tired of trying? I mean I love the fact that we are going at it frequently but I am starting to feel like its demanded from me all the time.

Its always oh my temp is right take your pants off, oh we got a happy face take your pants off, oh no signs of ovulation but lets go at it anyways take your pants off.

I guess there really is such a thing as to much sex.

  • lol my H and I thought the same thing. We didn't really do the temp thing as much, we just did it every other day for at least the two weeks I had an open window.  You really have to be creative and do it all over the house to keep the excitement up.  (if you have stairs...use them...), and even then days off were pretty nice, it's kinda sad though we went from doing it THAT often to now once or twice a week, and I know it will get less and less frequent the bigger my belly gets.

  • Maybe she needs to seduce you a little bit? :)

     I know it can be a frustrating process. I think it's easy to become very outcome oriented rather than simply enjoying physical intimacy with each other, with the added bonus that a baby might come into the world. I would talk to your wife about it, maybe see if she's willing to take a month off and just let it happen organically. Don't know your exact situation, but I do think it's helpful for a marriage for sex to be fun first, procreative second.

    This.  I also like the idea that the baby was formed out of pure love as apposed to the baby being formed b/c you were trying to have a baby.  They just have a different feeling for me.

  • I agree with the statements above, it's hard when you feel that pressure and the sex feels like a chore. If you're up for it, I would suggest taking a break. My wife and I stop TTC after work, the house and trying all the time began to put too much stress on us and we started to argue a lot. The next month, just simply enjoying our marriage and intimacy...we got pregnant. We're due in a few months and it's nice that it happened when we we're driving each other crazy...

  • Dude, the best thing about TTC was getting it all the time. Then I found out that you have to build up sperm count in between, so its more effective if you go a day or so in between tries. Which sucked for me cause I'm like a 16 year old boy on viagra in a woman's body, but it meant H could breathe and not have to lie about having herpes or sumshit to get me to leave him alone.

    So, you could try that. The sperm count bit, its never good to lie about STDs. Then you have to tell her about the piece on the side, and how her bff is really a ho, and its all downhill from there.
