Trying for a Baby Part 8

Mrs_T_M

Is there any reason why my DH can't 'finish' when we bd? Twice in the past two weeks, one of us being tonight. It's really bothering both of us. DH has a high stress job, and I've told him that if we don't get a positive this cycle we are going to stop trying until he figures out how to handle his stress better. This has made me feel so worthless and I feel like he doesn't want me. He assures me that it isn't me, that it's him, but I can't help but feel bad because of it. I just feel like giving up.

Can't believe we're beginning a new month already!

I'd like to predict 8 please and I sincerely hope I'm one of them! My turn now at ttc cycle thirty something!!!

fannyanna as I said above I don't do them until after work and from what I remember reading doing them first thing in the morning isn't advisable anyway - it has always worked for me at that time. I think you are supposed to do it at the same time each day, not drink too much in the 4 hours beforehand and wait 10-20 mins for the sample to come down to room temp (which I don't do cos I'm too impatient!!)

Hugs Mrs_T_M I can only think it might be caused by stress which is a bit unhelpful because you already seem to have identified that...sorry I can't offer any advice

Can I please predict 6bfps this month?

Awww Mrs_T_M. I've been there and I know it's hard not to take it personally. But it's true that it probably has nothing to do with you. Stress is a big factor. And not meaning to sound mean but you've probably just stressed him out even more about it lol.

It's a bit of a viscious circle. He's stressed so has problems, that in turn makes him even more stressed, that just compounds the situation....

Maybe you should try a couple of BD sessions where it's just for fun/romance and not for TTC. Maybe even make it a rule where he's not allowed to reach that point.

But please, please don't think it's because of you x

Hugs Mrs TM. It does sound like stress, I'm sure it's not you at all but that must be very difficult for both of you

Vesper, just catching up on the last couple of day's posts. What a horrible time you are having, I can't imagine how you are coping with it all. I very much hope it all works out.

Becca, I hope you're feeling better.

Tink, I want to invite myself to tea at your house :rotfl: that cake looks amazing! Not good for my diet, but neither were the two caramel waffles I had earlier... Been to the gym today for a spin class though, plus squash yesterday and a quick run at lunchtime of about 2 miles so not too bad.

Fannyanna, your doctor sounds so sympathtic and helpful, what a pity they're not all like that.

Hello and welcome to the new people, hope your stay is short!

For some reason this cycle I keep forgetting to take my AC and maca, although I have some spare folic acid in my bag in case I forget so at least I've been taking that.

I'm off to the doctor tomorrow evening to try and get some help for my horrible oeriods, I really hope he's sympathetic and helpful and doesn't trot out the old "it'll be better when you have a baby" line I used to get when I was younger.

Can I predict 5 bfps for February please.

squ1rrel - you have been missed! I was wondering how you were just the other day, nice to have you back xx

Ah thanks Becca, have been thinking about all you guys and thought I must pop back and say hello! Have missed the forum!
Although work has been busy I am absolutely loving it and its good because its actually taking my mind of TTC so I am not obsessing about it all the time!!
Hopefully when things are a bit quieter I'll be on here more often - feel quite selfish at the moment, as I'm not really having much chance to read back - I just post and go! - but I do wish hugs and good wishes to everyone and hope everyone is okay!! :)

Pop back soon xxxxxx

PS so I dont forget over the next couple of days, I predict 6 BFPs for February!!!

Mrs_T_M

Thanks for everyone's comments. He's too smart sometimes and can't let his mind switch off from work. Guess we will be going back to ntnp for a while. I guess if it happens it happens, but honestly, I think that of it was up to him, DH would be quite happy never having sex. He very rarely ever is in the mood without a bit of prodding. I'm downing the chocolates he bought me for my birthday earlier this week.
