Need Some Personal Advice
Posted: 11-10-05 12:56pm

Me and my husband have been ttc. But lately he seems to not want to have sex or to be able to preform. I thought it was just cause he didn't really want to have a baby yet but didn't want to tell me. But he swears up and down he really does want to start a family with me. So I guess my ? Is how can I get him in the mood or do u really think he's lying to me and he's trying not sabatose us concieving. He didn't even want to have sex when I was supposed to be ovalating. He just says he's tired or not in the mood. :oops:

My goodness, I think you just read my thoughts........ :lol:

i am haveing "some what" the same probleme. My husband just does not seem in the mood and he used to be. So at first I thought, ok is he trying to tell me something? But then I thought I really need to talk to him about it, so I did. From our conversation I got the fact that he is just tired of ttc.... I have gone crazy with the idea and basically our love life has turned into a job.....So I am working on not making in maditory for him to put in his work hours and have tried going back to the way things used to be before all of this came about. Not easy I tell ya.....But I am doing it.

I have still gone crazy ttc, but I try and keep it to myself!!!


Love, tammy

I think you're husband is just tired of sex because instead of it being something intimate and enjoyable ... It has become a chore. Instead of telling him that "it's time ... I'm ovulating" ... Keep it to yourself.

When you know that it's time for his men to start marching, do something romantic. Run a warm bath that you and him can relax in together. Give each other massages with baby oil. Maybe even watch a porn (if it's your thing). But, in the meantime, be doing the same thing so he loses track of when and what times you're ovulating. Most men don't want to hear about that stuff - they just want you to handle your business and they'll assist in any way you need them to.

It's hard not being able to tell him everything that's going on ... But I think it would probably help in the long run. Try to distract him so he can't even figure out the times and dates of your ovulating, etc.

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you ;-)

I totally agree with everyone. When sex becomes a "chore", all the fun is sucked right out. Sometimes the stress of ttc makes everything even more stressful - which can hinder getting pregnant. So let loose & have some spontaneous fun! ! Hollie

Thanks guys for the advice. I will try that this month and hopefully it will work. Cause it's pretty hard to concieve when u don't have sex at the right time.

My husband and I went through the same thing for 2 months, and I finally told him when I started taking clomid that we had to be serious about it or give up trying.

This last cycle has been great, we don't talk about having a baby, we don't think of it as a chore, we just have fun with it,...Which is really important. In a strange way it has brought us closer I think, we have fun with it and have some great sex, and then he props me up with pillows and we talk.

Sometimes I think it just takes guys a little while to really get passionate about having a baby. Give him time, dont' get upset with him, and things will work out!!

Good luck and keep us posted...
