chonny - your DH sounds the opposite of mine! Although my DH does want to know when I am due to ovulate, he'll still want it anytime I'm willing to give it to him! I would just say to your DH that everytime you BD is an opportunity to get pregnant - cos in reality it is!

Chonny, your DH and mine made out of the same mould it seems! My DH was even getting put off by that so we were down to maybe only twice a month as he was feeling the 'pressure' so I've stopped letting mine know what stage in my cycle I'm at and that seems to have helped reduce the pressure he was feeling to perform as well as getting him out of the mind-set of when he can 'do it'... if that makes any sense!!

chonny - you definately need to be BD more - not just for baby purposes but just to get going more! I am pretty slack and could go without it for a month or two myself, and sometimes it almost used to be a chore, but as they say, the more you do it, the more your body responds and...... it just gets better! So tell your DH that he needs to get his booty going!

well no, now it's because we never seem to have much success with BD. Early release etc so we just going to work on things a bit, but just use it to get me pregnant at teh moment. It was strange hearing it come from a males mouth tho! lol.
How is everyone else's ttc coming along?

Chonny, just a thought, but do you think it might help if you perhaps spiced it up a bit, or approached him when he least expects it? Sorry if its TMI, but I know for a fact that most guys can't resist waking up to a bit of a roll in the hay, as it were, ie. waking him up by a bit of touchy feely. Feel free to tell me this is none of my business, just thought that from what you have been saying, you haven't really got anything to lose by trying.
Also you could sit down with him and write down all the things he likes you to do to him (in THAT way) and you do the same. You put them in a jar and each day, or every 2nd day (whatever suits you) you pull one out, and have to do it before the end of the day.
I guess if all else fails then perhaps it is time he saw a councillor regarding some of his deep set personal issues with sex. (coming from a Psychology student here) it is likely that his being raised christian has done some damage in the way he regards sex, and a councillor could definitely help. But I guess that is all based on him actually wanting to go, but I would say that he would be eager to work thru it for the sake of your relationship.
All the best with this, I hope you get some sort of resolution soon.

Oh, and Emachan, it would seem that we are both due to test on Wednesday, funny how it times out like that huh.
Best of luck, I don't hold out much hope for us this month, but hey, every month is a lottery isn't it.
Babydust to all, and hope you are all managing to spice things up in the boudoir!

Thanks bumblefoot, that's a relaly good idea about the notes etc.
This is probably tmi but we are trying by just lubing him up and going in me straight away. seems to be working. Otherwise previously he has been trying to get me ready for fun and by the time i'm ready enough to take him, he's about to blow.
Yea sorry probably WAY TMI!
Deffinately food for thoughyt tho. Thanks.
Good luck to all those testing over the next few days.
Babydust to all....

Hey you could try using jonnies when you are not ovulating. We are using them as contraception at the moment and DH takes forever cos he says there is less sensation. (TMI I know but hey its that kind of thread)

Hey Chonny, have just noticed that you are still breastfeeding Vincent. I'm not sure if you are aware, but for most women, breastfeeding is equal to the pill as a contraceptive. So I'm guessing that your lack of success is largely down to this.
Plus, and this is def going to be WAY WAY WAY TMI, BUT have you considered on the days that he isn't interested in sex, then perhaps he could 'do it by hand' into a clean vessel and then you can do the turkey baster technique... I know, not very sexy, but hey, there would be more chance of you getting pg. Apparantly according to new studies in the UK, we need to be BDing every day to two days in order to be more successful.
Good luck to you luv, I know how hard this can get.
Babydust to all!

Bfing only works if its exclusive and i'm also pretty sure that you still have to be doing night feeds. There are plenty of people on here who are pg and still bfing.

Yea, my doc said that it's not guaranteed to keep you from getting preggy.
After stopping the pill, even with only feeding two to three times a day, i wasnt getting my friend. couple of months later it returned, so at least i know all is working. But even with breastfeeding, my doc said i can stil get pregnant, but might take longer and b a bit harder...
