Morning Ladies,
We are trying to conceive number 2, DD is 2y7m, and we figured a 3 year gap would be good and help reduce childcare costs. We've started ttc now, as of the beginning of the month, we're not ntnp but neither am I charting or anything too serious. However, I pretty much know through being regular and counting (!) and also body changes when I am ovulating.
I think the problem is that my DH and I are not completely on the same page on how relaxed our approach is. He wants to take a relaxed approach and just dtd when the mood strikes, which is pretty regularly but not every night necessarily. I, at least while TTC, would be quite happy with nightly! Given his relaxed approach I don't think he'd be up (excuse the pun) for that given our busy schedule and exhausting toddler! I also don't think he knows much about ladies cycles and the science of TTC.
How do you ladies do it, just gentle persuasion at the right times of the month or are you more explicit? Should I try and educate him so that I can set up a flag or something when we definitely should be dtd??
I guess my frustration is that I'm pretty sure I'll ovulate within the next couple of days and I'm worried about missing the window, if we haven't already
