DH working really hard, no energy for anything more than a bit of supper and about 30min of telly before staggering to bed.

Luckily so far my ovulating days have been around the weekend so far, but any thoughts of what I can do or give DH to help him to be a tiny bit spontaneous during the week? Last couple of cycles we've only had sex a couple of times round ovulation time. I had a 3rd deg. tear first time round which took most of a year to heal/for sex not to be uncomfortable. So think we are a bit out of the habit and now we tend to give each other a morning off at the weekends so not much happening before DD wakes.
Tho we do like a morning shag when it happens!

Feeling knackered and crampy but most likely not PG, have to wait till saturday to test. REally want a sibling for DD and want to get the grimness of being PG out of the way!

BTW reason for my concern is I've read advice about having sex 3 times a week when TTC. We just about manage once a week

send him a text message telling him you are not wearing any knickers. Worked for me last night

both times we conceived we did it only twice around ovulation (about 3 days before and then the day before)- if you can pinpoint ovulation accurately then you could still be lucky even if you're not doing it much.
If dh knackered then you can go on top (as long as you jump off and put your bum in the air pronto afterwards to counteract gravity!) That is how we conceived ds!

We have 'naked time' in the evening earlier than normal bed time. Just chat and enjoy skin to skin contact.9/10 times we have sex but having an agreement before that it doesn't have to be for sex and is about being with each other takes the pressure off. My Dh also works long hours and there's no chance after 10pm any day! So I would suggest settle DD and take to bed early!

I'm not well atm and I was wearing a bra-vest and short-style knickers last night as undies. Getting ready for bed (to sleep only!) DH declared I looked v sexy cos I was showing enough skin to be appealing but everything was slightly hidden! Worth a try (I'll be doing to lure DH to bed when I'm better!).

My DH is much enamoured of the strappy top and boy shorts look! Seems to prefer it to the whole sussies and stockings, strangely. I am on here now as he is on call (IT, server downs etc) and we had to stop MID-SHAG so he could deal with a call. You have to answer 1st ring so it wasn't a choice, but fucking hell drums fingers impatiently I was really enjoying that, too : D
