Why is it that a man can be so eager to DTD every day of the month but when it counts, he seems to lose all interest in it? Yesterday I initiated the loving, but my BF couldn't finish because he was "too tired". I don't believe that for a second. I have been careful to not fill him in on the details but he did know that this week was "a good time". Now all of a sudden he can't fulfill the only job he has. I know it's not right for me to be upset with him but I can't help it. And of course, I can't tell him how disappointed I am. That would put way too much pressure on him for next cycle. I thought I was Oing yesterday which still would've made our timing good, but today my temps are still down. So, I have another chance today but I'm afraid he'll chicken out again.

I am really tempted to just tell him that it's too late so that maybe we can have a successful BD today. What do you ladies think? Is that little white lie ok?

Little white lies are absolutely okay Or just don't bring it up at all, tell him you're still randy from "last time" and that you want to rock his world or something........ It's 4am here, I has no creativity.

I tell DH as little as possible about it because there for awhile he was having performance anxiety So I would tell him that you already O'd and then initiate some lovely BD

Thanks ladies! Luckily I didn't even have to lie. I was prepared to but then he stepped up to the plate. Maybe it's a morning thing. I'm still a little annoyed, but less so, now that our chances are better than if nothing happened. Phew!

Happy to hear things worked out. I think guys feel more pressure when they know we are "o". I had the same problem right before my loss.

Thanks! And I think his fears are more about the possibility of another m/c than anything else. I wish men were able to get in touch with their feelings/emotions better.

I am glad everything worked out. When I would tell DH that the time was good he would get performance anxiety. I think your DH's fear of another m/c could definately be impacting him.
