Has anyone else on here lost their interest in BMS while TTC? With all of the bfn's and the pressure from people I get sick of IT!
I Loved it when we were first married and the BBT was a pain so when we tried on the high note and nothing happened I quit doing that.
Since we began the urge to have BMS has just went bye bye. I still want to I just am tired of it.

Use the bbt as a guide for the next month. For example, if your average ovulation is on day 15, then have sex day 13. Temps spike two days after you ovulate. Also, try ovulation predictor kits. They tell you the best time to bd before ovulation.

And yes, my husband and I dislike timed intercourse. You have to make an extra effort for it to work. Try someplace different, cook his favorite food, partcipate in his favorite activity, etc.

Good Luck,
Mindy

As if timed sex isn't bad enough, does it seem to anyone else that just around that time, you always get into some type of argument or fight with dh and the thought of being in the same room with him, let alone having sex with him is enough to make you want to jump out a window.
I used to just suck it up and be the one to 'make nice', just to keep our chances the best they could be, but now, I almost feel like, you gotta have some self respect girlfriend. We had an argument last night and I wanted to start bd'ing every other night starting tonight(CD 10), but we'll see what happens.

dh and i have experienced same thing. i used to be pawing at him constantly (teehee...he'll really cute) but ever since we've been ttc i don't feel like sex anymore (well...not nearly as often)!!! this is totally a first for me. here's to hoping i can let go of this mentality and get into the groove! there's just something about 'having' to have sex that makes it seem like a chore.
