DH just doesn't get!

We've been TTC for 5 months (not long I know) but my DH just doesn't seem to get the concept of TTC.

When I stopped taking the pill we were very relaxed, when it happens it happens. But as the months went on I started logging my cycle and checking my ovulation, I want to know what's going on with my body after 11 years taking the pill!

My DH thinks I'm crazy and a baby will just happen when it's meant to happen.

Does anybody else have a far too relaxed other half? That when you stop taking contraception you are very much trying for a baby and not just having unprotected sex!

I’ll get shot down in flames for this, but I always thought if you just had sex a couple of times a week, you’d get pregnant soon enough.
I’m pretty sure lots of people take that approach.

Love this thread!

Every time I try to mention something about TTC to dh he just says I’m ‘over thinking’ and ‘stressing myself for no reason’. Hmm

Obviously not punching! Damn auto correct I meant pouncing

Yep and my dh won't really engage in much conversation other than we just need to dtd more! Helpful! That's why I come on here and read and help everyone here. We've been ttc for 15 months and contemplating going to the dr but dh doesn't want me to and I don't particularly want to. All I can suggest is trying to follow sperm meets egg plan and then punching on him when you get the positive opks. I've not even explained smep to mine would go straight over his head!
