Ideas and opinions about O, BDing, and DH

[decisions]

Hi all,

I got a positive OPK today (CD 14). We had sex CD 10, 12, 13, and tried today at CD 14 but DH just could not finish. He is worn out from the 3 previous sessions so close. So we will have to skip today - we tried for a good hour and my nether regions are just too sore to even try again today (and I think he is too tired to try again today).

Hoping we can make it happen tomorrow but I wonder if I will have already ovulated by then (CD 15). DH feels really bad about not finishing and seems sorta down. We have tried everything - new position, lots of foreplay, adult videos, etc. and he just couldn't. Do you have this issue? ANy tricks for overcoming it?

Next month I think we will do just every other day. I don't want to make TTC stressful or put pressure on DH - he feels like less of a man when he can't finish and it makes me sad.

Most of this post is just a vent but I am wondering if you think my odds of conceiving are still ok given the above information and also if you have experienced this issue and have tips for getting around it.

I think you are supposed to ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive opk so you're in with a chance but I'd try to do it tomorrow!

I did every day for 1 cycle when ttc no 1 and got a bfn,, did every other day (including day before and day after pos opk but not day of) on cycle 2 and got my bfp! So I wouldn't worry at all. There is an argument that every other day is better anyway cos the spermies have time to build up and he'll have more stored for what's probably ov day tomorrow x

Ps I know it sounds clinical but if he's having trouble but would manage ok going solo iykwim a pot and a baby medicine syringe can take the pressure off! No1 was conceived that way for us and no2 probably will be too!

try an every other day schedule.....examples

CD9, 11, 13, 14, 15

Or CD10, 12, 14, 16

I do the first one and it works well
