Sorry ladies, I have cheated and copied from my post in the TTC group.
Grrr, so stupid! I am due to ovulate around the 3rd-5th of July (got my dates wrong in a previous post). I am nightshift on the 3rd and 4th and support shift (4-8pm) on the 5th. GRRRRRR!!!!. I am hoping the older two girls will stay at their Nans (Ex's mothers house) on the Friday night as their father is picking them up Saturday. Hopefully dh and I will have more of an opportunity for adult time on Friday night or preferably Saturday morning.
Thoughts ladies. Should I tell dh ovulation is coming up? I am afraid we may have the same issues as last time. But, it's not often we actually bd. I try just about every day to get dh keen for a little of practice but, no luck.

Hmmm...that's tough boysway. Maybe he'd be more relaxed if you didn't tell him??
I told my DH this month as otherwise it wouldn't have happened as he has been working crazy hours and wouldn't have come home and during the attempt he almost couldn't "complete the act" again and I thought it wasn't going to happen but it ended up ok.
Pretty sure I'm not pg though as I have no feelings of pg at all. When we got pg before our miscarriage I "knew" straight away. Even DH said tonight, he doesn't think I am as he usually knows too and he doesn't think so this month. 😞
We're not trying again til nov/dec now though. That's if he doesn't change his mind between now and then. 😕

I asked hubby if he wanted to know when it's coming up and he said yes but I detected either hesitation or anxiety maybe even both :( Got to feel bad for the guys though. The pressure can't be easy. Dh has been sooo tired lately as well. That only makes things worse :(
I'm hoping to at least get an attempt Saturday morning if possible. I have a very strong feeling I ovulate very soon after a +OPK. I know DD#3 was likely conceived through bd on the afternoon of my +OPK. I know DD#4 was conceived the morning of a +OPK. So hopefully we can attempt Saturday morning.
Fingers crossed for a pink sticky for you this cycle despite the difficulties.

Boysway - sorry to hear that. Those tablets not kicked in yet for him? Maybe let him know that you think it might be coming soon but don't make a big deal of it and then hope to get it on when you are alone Friday/Saturday.
Mum - you don't necessarily have to have symptoms don't count yourself out.
I got my blaring positive today at 1pm. I decided to POAS an hour early so I can stop holding pee and drink. Guests are supposed to arrive from 1. So 2 lines came up immediately, I said to myself out loud oh how typical an immediate blaring positive at such an inconvenient time!! DH happened to be passing the bathroom and heard - he said let's BD now and I'm like Er people will arrive any moment!! He said no lets go now and I said well you better finish quickly then!! But the pressure was a bit much for both of us and he almost didn't finish, I wasn't helping because I kept telling him to hurry up lol - anyway luckily he did finish 10 min before anyone showed up.... I am going to have to fend him off tomorrow though as he will want to do it again...

Steph, I think they are starting to work. We bd Monday then dh was in the mood again Tuesday morning, most unlike him. His work is just so tiring and stressful for him. I was thinking the same, letting him know it's coming up. I might just let him know it's coming up and we should get some practice in, lol.
I'm on nightshift now and will be till Monday night. I hope that doesn't bugger up my charting. Typical though. Last cycle I deliberately didn't accept any shifts for around ovulation time. This time I have shifts all through my fertile days! I guess if it's meant to be, it will be.
-
Oooo, fingers crossed Steph :) I remember those days from when the ex and I were together. My parents learned quickly to call before dropping around, lol.
-
Today has been planned for ages so no excuse if we hadn't been ready on time! Luckily people are always late! And I'm so glad it's out of the way now hehe
-
And one of his mates brought a special cigarette so I am definitely glad the attempt is done. That's a great excuse now not to DTD tomorrow haha...
-
Yay steph! Good luck!! :fx:
-
Boysway, my dh is the same way. With his age and our crazy schedules, it's hard to get an attempt in at he right time. Let alone more than one! Hugs and good luck!
Aren't "special cigarettes" supposed to heavily sway pink?
