I'm a regular poster but have name changed for this to protect DH's privacy as much as mine.
I was hoping to be pretty relaxed about TTC and I haven't been taking ovulation tests or tracking my temperature. All I have is an app to track my periods and get a rough idea of when I'm fertile. That's this week, and DH and I had been looking forward to more frequent sex... But it's been a bit of a disaster. One night it took him ages to orgasm and the next time it took so long that I gave up. It was too frustrating and not fun at all. After doing some Googling I realise that men can get performance anxiety while TTC. I know that we need to relax and try to just have sex for the fun of it. And I won't tell him when it's my fertile week - although he will probably work it out when he realises I've been initiating sex more than usual!
I suppose what I'm looking for is a bit of hand holding and help dealing with the disappointment. I know it's not fair on him, or helpful, to be frustrated or resentful with him... But I do feel that way. Has anyone experienced similar and do you have any tips on how to get rid of those feelings?
