1) I do not mention Ovulation. end.of.story. It is an instant mood killer, even if he knows it's the week
2) We don't go every day - DH revolts after about 3 -4 days, so I plot my days carefully leading up to O. Luckily - I am fairly regular and usually O on day 10-12 and my signs are all very strong leading up to, so I can be selective
3) We keep it interesting. At least 1 or 2 times we will have HNS (hot, nasty) with no intention of baby making. I figure it works in thousands of hotel rooms across the country, I can go for at least one session during my fertile days. Actually pretty sure it was when we concieved last July - broke ALL the rules.
4) I am very accomodating to DH on my non-fertile days - this is a two way street
5) I do not have a bunch of "rules" for DH. I figure if I nag him on the caffeine or artificial sweetners or alcohol, he is going to start resenting the whole process and then I will never get a baby. He is a healthy male, so until we get dr. orders otherwise, I will let him be happy.
So far it has worked for us, but we haven't been at it as long as some of you have been. So if I am still here in a year or so, I maybe be singing a different song.
