How do you stop dtd being weird when ttc?

I'm on my last cycle before ttc and am trying to figure out how to make us not feel weird about having sex 'with a purpose'
Dd1 and dd2 were both accidents and we have literally never done it thinking there was a chance we could get pregnant. I can't help thinking there is a real risk of performance anxiety or similar.
Please either tell me it wasn't weird or some hints of how to ease the transition??

I thought it might be weird, but it wasn't at all. DH even surprised me and was extremely happy to DTD as much as we thought necessary.

Just relax, enjoy and it will be fine Smile.

We're struggling a bit with motivation but when you get on with it it's difficult. We have had issues with a bit of non-communication though. (Although my cycles fucked so its putting more pressure on us).

Just make sure you talk, talk and talk and make some time for it. It's much more enjoyable when you're not tired and don't have a time limit.

DH has just suggested in the minibus before work instead of when we're knackered at night. This means him waking me at 5:30 for a bit of sexy time. I am not a morning person. I will fail.

Basically sex still brilliant, DH still brilliant, having to time sex sucks!
