Yeah - we've spoken about it.
I suppose it doesn't help that my wife is desperate for children. I am too, but happy to wait for it to happen. But she's so broody. She did loads of research about it, and how there's two days that are the best days. Then she got really upset when I couldn't.
It hasn't helped that I lost my job and for about 4 months, every weekend, it just so happened there was some sort of meeting at work, and thus sex was the last thing on my mind.
I guess from a male perspective, just try not to do anything out of the ordinary. I said it would be okay for us not to have sex for X days before so when the prime days come, then I'm a bit more in the mood for it.
anotheruser I bet that's got to be really hard with the lost job and pressure. I think TTC is one of those things that take a strain on both of you and can make you maybe act/say things when strained. I'm always feel like i'm blaming myself when I'm not successful and feel like sometimes I take it out a bit on my OH as a way for me to deal with those feelings of that I've let him down or something (Yet hes feeling the as if he's let me me down) it really does screw with your mind!!

Currently CD6 for me and I'll be taking my last Clomid pill tonight. I've had a few symptoms/side effects, mainly a mild headache and generally feeling knackered. I've also been feeling a lot warmer, but thankfully it hasn't been too hard to live with.
I thought I felt some tiny twinges earlier in my left ovary area, but is that even likely this early in the cycle? I'm starting to wonder if what I feel is real, or if it's in my head and I only think I feel it because I want this to work so much.
I have felt nauseous all day today, set off by the smell of our washing up liquid ( I had the same thing 2 days ago).. it sounds so weird but the fake flower smell just drove me crazy for some reason. Now I'm completely reading into this that it means something as I never usally get it..but then again maybe I'm just not feeling well and my crazy hoping is taking over..argh!
Glad your clomid hasn't caused too many side effects, fingers crossed those twinges are you ovary getting ready to spit out a good'un!
