And can you imagine how male fertility and sex are not always boosted by Trying-To-Conceive ladies? Think of guys & sex -- wow -- they are always ready. No need of special preparation, no foreplay. The time, the place do not seem to matter much. Yet, when I got serious about the baby and created a schedule and started charting, suddenly Mr. Always Horny was Mr. Not Tonight. Sex was an obligation -- a real chore and no fun.
I was absolutely stunned, when he said no, but then I looked around and found out that it was a normal reaction, once sex become a must. Not only that, but it seems that with all the nerves and scheduling, and my baby fever which was at all time high, the stress was too much to increase fertility and sex.
Regular sex is the best way to get pregnant, but not when he has to do it, just going to go with the flow.
Charting and planning for best time for fertility and sex is great, but the most important is to relax, to have fun, to enjoy life and do NOt tell him when he has to have sex.
We Trying-To-Conceive ladies, often get so obsessed and crazy. We do the fertility diet, the charting, the planning, even " the pillow under the hips for XX minutes", doing all the tricks when we are trying to get pregnant.
I can look back now and chuckle, but at the time, I was cranky.
