Does ttc turn dh on or off

Admin-pattyandthemoos · #1 July 6th, 2009, 08:15 AM

I know we are all ttc but does the thought of bding for baby making make dh more turned on or less? Does it stress him out or make him more in the mood? What about you?

I haven't kept him in the loop as to when we need to BD because I'm trying to keep it fun. Problem with him is that he thinks it's easy to get pg so I'm having to educate him a bit. For me, I get excited every time after we BD wondering if that will be the day

Since we have ttc since 2002 my hubby is on a clock!!! now that we have had our 2nd baby finally, I have found that dh gets frisky and wants to bd during my fertile week and this is without telling him one bit!!!

It's kinda weird! does he sniff the ovulation a'coming or what? is this nature at work with the pheramones?

This is our first month TTC but he's been asking why I have to chart, we should just do it! LOL I'm like it's not that easy to get pregnant, you know! Mark is pretty relaxed about everything so I don't see him getting stressed about it. But since we live apart long periods of time so now that we're together, it's always fun and we don't think too much about it being TTC, just enjoying it

Teehee! We've been BDing like crazy! Last night was really funny because we were both really tired. Anyway, yeah, DH is NOT stressed at all about it. He just thinks I will magically get pregnant. I, on the hand, am taking my temp every morning, taking OPKs daily, checking FF every day (like 10 times a day (Is that a lot??)), stressing over stupid BC pills, etc... He said, "Why do I need to stress? You just have to tell me when to be there?" Lol! DORK! I'm stressing, though.

I want to know that I O'd!!

I was like that at first but now I just tell him. And he has probably been more educated from me than he wanted to be. LOL.

To answer the question, I think it stressed dh out at first. He doesn't like when I demand that we bd. LOL. Even though we have an active sex life, I think he prefers things to happen spontaneously and not according to my body clock (or he used to anyway).

Now, I think he just likes the excuse to have more sex. LOL. We bd a lot around o time. I don't know if it turns him on more but he seems to like it, most of the time anyway. LOL.

doesn't really matter to DH. Especially this cycle. It's been a few weeks since we've bded. He just wants to get started again lol.

I educated DH a bit on how the cycle works - he had no clue. And I told him I am temping mainly because I think it is interesting to see how the temperture shifts. Other than that I don't say "honey - I am Oing get in bed right now!" - although if its a few months from now and still no BFP I am sure I will be screaming that LOL I think he kinda likes it though he always has some little comment afterwards about making a baby.

When we were TTCing the first time it really stressed him out. Not the first time, but after the molar pregnancy, then the MCs & the ectopic... I think it scared him.
I probably won't tell DH that its time. I initiate a lot, so I don't think it ever occurs to him that I'm O'ing. He did ask me the last time we BD'd if this one was the one that was going to make Ethan a big brother. LOL It was really funny because we're not TTC yet, just NTNP & I honestly had NO idea when I was going to O. Turns out it was 1-2 days later. Maybe it is pheramones!!
