Must be something very primeval about them wanting to be the Hunter!!! Bless them! quackers, god, no I can't lend him out, he'd die of enhaustion! I was ovulating over the past 2 days but last night came back from a day out and wanted to chuck my guts up. Was sick all night and all I could think was "oh no, we're missing out on prime b'ding time!" Luckily it only lasted until the end of last night so we got one in this morning. I bet dh was actually quite pleased to have the Tv to himself all night and no prospect of having to perform before he went to sleep!

I'm with you lot on this, men dont like sex on tap. Dh can never get enough, that is until month 1 on clomid. I have never seen him look less enthustiastic. IMO he was duty-bound to perform once a day between days 12 and 18. After all I was the one taking a drug with funny side effects, why should I carry on taking it if he wasnt doing his bit.

you are so funny quackers. girls, i know exactly what you mean. my dh is exactly the same. and to think that b4 ttc he used to say i didnt want it enough! now its like getting blood out of a stone week around ov. soon as its over though, he instigates it. weird creatures. i think that playing hard to get turns them on more.

Good lord quackers! Is 'pluck his eyebrows' a euphemism? Or does it actually turn him on?!! Think what'd happen if you offered him a leg wax!

We reached 'watershed' yesterday. I told him that his less-than-enthusiastic attitude was getting me down. I think I got through. He even suggested an early night (9.30!) and sacrificed watching the Geoff Boycott documentary in order to do the deed at a relaxing and leisurely pace!! There's true dedication to duty for you...

Yep, if you put pressure on it just doesn't happen!!! They are strange creatures. I have never had to 'ask' until we ttc last time. He obliged a couple of times very willingly and always says he could do it every day but when it comes to it, he just wants to sleep!!!
This will make u laugh - he wanted to 'get in the mood' but was tired and knew I really wanted it cos I was ov'g, so he asked me to 'pluck his eyebrows'!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh I've never seen things 'happen' so quick!!! Was great bd'g as well. The next time though I had to do all the work, we got there but it was hard work!!

Thank god for this thread. I was beginning to feel I was going mad. i ADORE dh and we usually have an excellent sex life. But since we've been trying to have sex every other day this last month he's been acting like he's doing me a real favour! Last night he said he was too tired but I knew I was ovulating so I said we needed to do it. He actually said "well you can have a go but I can't promise anything" and let me do all the work!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I didn't give up without a struggle and we got there in the end! )
But HONESTLY, you'd think they'd be bloody grateful they've got sex on tap, wouldn't you?I feel like the Wicked Squire and he's some virgin wench that I'm trying to have my wicked way with!

Zippy, they just don;t have a clue!!!

Slink - sorry, I meant to say that I suspect we might be married to the same man. Maybe it's not so much that he's not interested in sex - but he's a bigamist and very, very tired...

Urggg! We tried for three years before DS came along and reading this thread has made me remember the RAGE (and pain) I used to feel when smugmums had the audacity to ask when we were going to have a baby. Worse still, my own mother (who, in her defence, wasn't aware we were having problems) was forever on the flippin phone saying "so and so has had a baby... so and so has had a baby ..." I swear there was not a child born in Britain between 1997 and 2001 whose arrival was not trumpeted down my telephone. It got to the point that when she called my heart would sink.

My dd is 2.4months and everyone is saying "when you have the next one, are you trying oh she needs someone to play with" Well i say to them my dear dear sis in law if your brother would have SEX with me more often instead of every SIX (OH YES SOME TIMES LONGER) WEEKS then i would be pregnant, a babe here and another one on the way, i have been trying for 1 YEAR

My dh is lovely but not interested in sex they say women go of it nope my man does, We have a very healthy relationship otherwise Nope not he is not having an affair,he dotes on me but i love the hugs but need SEX

AliBaba, It's good to count your blessings - but don't ever think you're not entitled to be sad about your fertility problems. I'm pretty fed up that we don't seem to making any progress towards getting a 2nd child, but it's nothing like as bad as the first time - just not knowing whether we would ever have children at all. I felt it was partly the uncertainty that was the worst thing. You can't just draw a line under it, and get on with your life because month after month you keep on hoping and being disappointed, and trying not to get your hopes up, but you can't help it. It's just horrible, isn't it?

thank you everyone who has posted on this thread. I just logged on feeling sorry for myself but you guys have all made me laugh and I feel better already.
Doesn't help any of you I know but thank you.

Tinyfeet, I was the one moaning about being 31 (on Tuesday!), and you're absolutely right that I should get a grip and be grateful that I've got time (and in my saner moments I really am.) Am now going to do ten minutes of blessing-counting. One. my dog is an angel; two, I'm allowed to bring him to work; three, he's asleep on my knee at the moment, like a snoring hot water bottle; four, the enormous incipient spot on my chin last night has vanished; five, the sun is shining so summer isn't quite over ... This could go on all night.

No offense taken. Just nothing to say since I already have my foot in my mouth.

Thanks, quackers. Good luck with all of you. I think it's better if we just keep our mouths shut - just know that we are all hoping and praying that everything works out for all of you ttc.
