TTC no 2 - and DH with performance anxiety

[hambalala]

Feel mildly disloyal writing this...but my gorgeous DH (who's never had this prob before) is having difficulty rising to the occasion...and then um, crossing the finishing line. He says I'm being too clinical about it.... Which I probably am...Has anyone else experienced this? We just started TTC no 2 - i.e. this is our third day. I'm trying not to rush him - but we have to do it!! And we're running out of time (well, for this month)...hope I don't sound like a nutter... probably not much advice to be given apart from attempting to calm down..but just wanted to not be alone!

I got off with a lovely guy way way back in the day, we were gagging to consummate our lust but he couldn't. So we just had a loving cuddle.

When we next met a few weeks later, I turned up at his door (he had invited me to stay) and we had hardly closed the door before we were ripping each others' clothes off - with a successful outcome!

Now, of course we weren't TTC, but I have also had problems conceiving our first after an early miscarriage. No problems from H's equipment (and not the same guy!), but I so sympathisise with how it all starts to revolve around ovulation dates, temp first thing in the morning etc. All the best!

Oh god yes. DH doesn't do any kind of pressure. I more or less demanded it this morning when I realised I had probably ovulated, and it ended disastrously! I was in a really cross mood all morning, though I know it was hardly his fault. But at lunchtime during DDs nap, he had had more time to digest the schedule and rose to the occasion (ha ha, can't believe I just said that).

TTC can be really unromantic, especially when you already have a child.

Yeah, crossing the finish line became a problem for us last month. Even if you start DTD from lust, you both become aware during it that you need the seed (lol!) and the pressure sets in. Tried to ease the quantity down at the beginning of this cycle do he sees it through and it's been ok so far but it became a chore again yesterday.

Hard to be stay sexy when TTC!!

Thanks girls. Glad I'm not alone! We managed to get away with six straight days...so hopefully it's worked! But we had to pull out all the stops...won't gross you out with details...but there was quite a bit of DIY involved on his part...heheh (while I read my book in bed!) Very romantic!
