TTC While Not Putting Pressure on Your Husband

[Lightupthesky]

I have heard that the best time to BD if you're only going to do it once during your fertile period is the day before you ovulate. I could be wrong, but if I was only going to do it one time, that would be when I would shoot for.

I won't lie, we take a week off when AF comes to town, and there are days when one or neither of us are interested in doing the BD, so we don't force it. I guess we are just lucky that both of us have such high drives, although, I'm not sure I could be with someone who can't match my drive! I think I'd just come off as such a predator, I'd scare him off! Sometimes we like to play a game where one week, husband is in charge of initiating it and the next I am. It can be quite interesting Our big focus is on making sure that when we look back at how our babies were conceived, we want to know that they were made out of love, not out of obligation, so if either of us isn't feeling it, we don't bother.

This is full of great advice!

Approaching it from pretty much the other side, TTC actually did split me and DH for a few weeks and we went through a very rocky couple've years.

Still not managed TTC - still kind of trying (I'm trying - I don't tell him anything about it as he completely freaks out "performing monkey" was among his favourite phrases when things were really bad!)

Some men can't cope with the pressure. But one day, when it eventually works I'm still confident he's going to be an awesome dad.
