Baby v is there something you can magically give him to get him more in the mood like some kind of herbal stuff you could put in his dinner or his cuppa ( if he is a tea man)? Without him actually knowing? Sounds sneaky but hey to me it sounds like anything would help :) big hugs thou chicken

I think horny goat weed is good for the men's libido... it is sometimes in men's supplements so you may be able to convince him to take one - I think Go New Zealand make a good men's supplement for TTC'n.

Hugs Baby V! Rant completely acceptable. We all need to vent!
How about reverse psychology on him? "I think we should stop trying for a baby, too much stress on our relationship" or something along those lines, but then secretly track your OV and signs, then be "in the mood" only around OV time? I think that might sound easier on paper than in reality, but hopefully helps with some ideas!

Thanks ladies for the great ideas! I'm liking the reverse psychology idea, but will run the herbal supplements one past him as well (although he'll probably say I'm pressuring him with that one). Who knew males could be just as moody as females when it comes to this stuff huh

Hi guys hope you don't mind me joining in here-am currently waiting for ov, have started bd week Baby V that argument seems so familiar! Although my DP going through a good patch at the mo but he gets very put off by timing of bd over ov and has lately been loudly telling his friends of all about it. Just a suggestion but if you use opks you can fairly accurately predict ov and you could try for a month just timing bd right at the right time. Spitfire love the man flu site! Mummahuhu the name horny goat weed cracks me up for some reason

Also Tan i sometimes wonder the same thing as get ewcm a while b4 ov, but I have used opks for a long time now and i always ov around day 15/16. Also I check cervix now and it is so blimmin obvious, tmi alert but it is soft and very open when ov, so different a few days b4 ov. Also this is just a suggestion but I recall you got your progesterone tested not long ago and i wonder if it would be worth repeating? My body took a while to sort itself out post mc. Also def do test 7dpo or if you not sure when this is 7 days before af due, made such a big difference to my results when i got the timing right. Ok I should be in bed, man obaby is addictive!

lol, it cracks me up too Pitter Patter! It was recommended to me but I looked it up and decided that DH didn't need it, thought he was horny enough as it is lol.
I downloaded the Sperm Meets Egg last ebook night and might see if that helps, I'd been kinda trying to time BD around O anyway but with kids coming into our bed and being away I hadn't been very successful. I like having a plan! 
I *think* I should be on 1DPO today but I forgot to do an OPK yesterday and I had a couple of random high temps on my chart so now I'm not sure  |

Well a couple of big wins for me over the last 24 hours, we managed to BD last night AND I got a positive OPK just now! I jumped DH in his sleep so there was no time for him to feel pressured Feeling much more relaxed now, thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions, really helped get me through the worst mood I've been in since TTC so far. Now if I can just convince him to BD again tonight... Might be pushing my luck but hey, gotta think positive

great to hear you are OV spitfire! and BabyV, awesome work with the positive OPK and BD'ing - go you!
I'm not sure what is going on now - im monitoring my cervix this month, but it moves a lot. sorry if TMI - its still open and soft, but CM is not much - just had two short bursts really - its still watery-ish just not a lot of it at all. We are sticking to every 2nd day this month and hoping that does the trick.

Would someone mind telling me about how you examine your cervix? I know physically what to do (I think), but I don't think I have ever felt it. What does it feel like? Should I feel it on the tip of my fingers? Maybe my fingers aren't long enough because I can't seem to feel it. I have been reading about a soft, high cervix and low, hard etc but I don't know what any of it means.

Tan, I know that its supposed to feel firm like the tip of your nose then in labour it softens to be like your earlobe, then like the inside of your cheek, but that's about it I'm afraid.
Ummm, so I just had some sharp pains on my left hand side just in from my hipbone - could that maybe indicate ovulation?? Not sure if it's quite the right area? |
