Slightly tongue in cheek, I must admit...but...

we are on cycle 2 of ttc no.3. I had no idea of cycle length last month (haven't kept track since they returned post bfeeding in feb) so guessed at the 'average' 28 days and bd every other day from CD 9 to CD19! Got positive HPT on CD35 then began to bleed on CD39.

Bleesding lasted 3 days. I seem to have ovulated at normal time (EWCM between CD12 and CD18 - long time??) so have bd again every other day between CD8 and 19. I am going by EWCM because i donlt have the right sleep pattern or the time/inclination for OPKs...

I'm knackered! I am praying for a sticky bean this time because this is really too much sex for me Don't get me wrong, its nice, but its too much of a good thing now for definite!

We have dd3.4, ds 20mths and I have a job and a uni course too....desperate for number 3 and desperate for a break from all the (lovely sex)!

....come on bfp!

Am I alone in this??!!

me neither - I spend hours on here each day reading about it. I decided to be onest in the end in a big crying fit/row in which I confessed how not only was the sex exhausting, but more exhausting was the having to pretend it was because I was horny rather than being honest about needing to do it. What I have done though is in the non conception weeks also mad an effort to initiate sex so that he knows it is not just for babymaking as at those times there would be no chance.

I don't mention the baby making anxious that he won't be at all turned on by it! So I am ridiculously carrying on pretending to be some sexy siren who wants to ravage him all the time for my own personal pleasure!

Even lay there last night in the throes of ecstasy (!) dreaming about ways of inventing a sperm tap and turkey baster, or a jar in the fridge! LOL

Not really - the love makes the baby...right? Although I have no idea exactly when my other 2 were conceived and I kind of prefer it that way. This ttc lark is not good for my obsessive inclinations...

I agree. I feel like I am nagging him all the time for sex even though he agrees it is for him too as he also wants a baby. On Mon for example we were both shattered and we still had to do it - no fun at all. I want to tonight too just to guarantee we get it - think I ovulated on Sat and we did it on Thurs, Sat, Sun, Mon but just in case I didn't ovulate then...

Tbh we usually mainly do it on weekends and not that often in the week but ttc means havign to change all that. Which would be fine if we were the kind of people who stayed in both nights but we both have loads of work stuff on and busy social lives. aaaaaaargh
