What does he do for a job FF? Is it money worries that get him riled up, or the job itself?
Is he find thing the whole ttc thing very stressful? I know my OH does, and I think men have more trouble than us at dealing with their worries/anxiety. It's like my mother always says, men need to slink off into their caves every now and then, and not communicate.Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
His cave will become our bed the rate he's going. We have a large enough house to exist without being together. It's not money worries (luckily) but volume and demands of the job. It's 10 years plus that this has been the situation..I just guess it's more apparent that it's TTC that adds additional stress from me on him when usually I ask for nothing. It gets more anxious for me when he's planning to be away next month and the month after at probable crucial times. My PMA is a wee bit low as you can imagine.
For you, if I'm on high do you not think there could be a chance that you still could get PG... it's just my hormones stayed high til I came on last time. I think it's worth DTD midweek and weekend even in the 2WW. I just don't think my DH would like to do at all during the week but I'm not hopeful or going to accept a weekend DTD at this time. He said he wanted to know when it was the time but clearly it doesn't make any difference only to know the reason why I get so piddled off when we don't.0 -
Hugs (((Fantafan))).

In theory, I should get AF tomorrow, ov mid April, testing May.
But I tend to ov lates so....Metranil_Vavin wrote: »Is he find thing the whole ttc thing very stressful?

I don't like talking about TTC to hubby, I do that here:p
You can't say I'm not obsessed, but hubby likes to know when my AF is, temps, ov etc etc which I find unromantic. I just give him the shortest answer possible like 'I don't know', 'I'll let you know when I ov'd' every time.
Why doesn't he get the message?:mad:0 -
quaver I will bare that in mind and try my best not to get too excited, still would be a massive worry all the way to 12 weeks even if it does turn into a BFP so its only the first hurdle.
Fanta have some hugs, life is never easy and men are pretty rubbish some of the time. Hope it gets better for you soon x0 -
I do really feel your anxiety
on the days I know i'm coming up to ov, I get really panicky about not DTD and missing out. It's crazy.
I try very hard not to be too outwardly stressy about it as I just know it will put OH completely off the boil, but as I've said before, we dont tend to DTD that regularly, so we have to be a bit disciplined (ooeer!) on those few days round ov or it'll never happen!!
who knows, we may feel a bit more amourous this weekend as it's a long one and we dont have to be getting up at 6.30am every morning!
I'm hoping though that we caught the best days this month, and sperm lives for a couple of days inside you doesnt it? So fingers crossed...
Hope you sort it out though FF xMetranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
How early are you?
I had an early scan at 6 weeks, only saw a sac, but at 8 weeks heart beat, and was given a photo:).
Doing OK just taking one day at a time! I am not happy or excited
By my dates I will be 5 weeks on saturday 6 weeks on 10th April the day of our blessing. We are then off to amsterdam for 3 days to get diamonds!!:D:D I would like to have a scan before we go or when we get back????? Will just have to see what my doctor has to say todayI know realisticly the longer I leave it the better I hope it will be easier said than done
:o
It is just hard when you know that the bfp is just the start of a very long emotional rollercoaster.If you can think it........it will happen0 -
Q - I suppose it's quite a nice thing that your hub is interested in your cycle...shows he cares!
I'll be really keeping my fingers crossed for you this month..it'd be fab for you to get your BFP in May!
Sigh..boring day again at work. Hardly any bosses in so thinking I may slink off a bit early this evening. ALready planning what takeaway we're going to have this evening...food is never too far from my mind!Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -

Is it very naughty to drink alcohol during your 2WW?
I really fancy a couple of glasses of wine this evening to welcome in the BH weekend, and will proba have a few drinks on Sat night as we are going to a friends for dinner...
