Today I plan on coming home on my lunch break to Dtd with dp as he's going away later today, I am due to ovulate tomorrow and I want to maximise our chances. I think he's beginning to feel a bit like a sperm producing machine...

To what levels of crazy has this process pushed you to?

More of an anecdote, but when I was TTC DD, I had an assistant who had the same me as my DH - and I texted him to say I was ovulating so we have to have sex tonight.

He replied to say he wasn’t sure that was in his job description, but he was game if i was! Grin

Same name as my DH, not same me!

I was pretty sure when I was set to ovulate and planned to pounce on DH before we got up for work that morning. We ended up over sleeping and so missed our chance. I threw a massive strop and convinced him to phone in sick so we could stay home and have sex. It worked - I got pregnant on that cycle Grin

I had, had a positive opk. I NEEDED sex, we were over a year into ttc dc2, dh said we'd done it yesterday it was fine. I had a massive screaming, crying strop that lasted hours. Somehow I coaxed him into sex. I just knew if we did it then we'd conceive. Low and behold we did!

Years later, when we decided we were done having babies, we were having drunken sex, no condoms left. I told him we should probably stop because I would 100% get pregnant if we had sex. In the moment we both decided to go for it, after all dc2 took over a year, temping, opks and soy isoflavones to conceive. I got pregnant(lost it sadly)

DH was at a stag do on the optimal evening, so I drove to the pub they were at (about half an hour away) and we did it in the car, then he went back to his mates 🙈. That was the cycle we finally conceived after 15 months of trying.......

I've done the same as you OP and the time we DTD the night before he went away for 19 days, and it was DAYS before my ovulation was due, I randomly fell pregnant with my DS ... Star

We did debate him Viking me up and doing it in the car - but I have a job where I am somewhat considered to be a pillar of the community so to speak - so if we got caught...😳

My OH was working late and ended up staying in a hotel close to work on a ‘peak’ night. I went mental and drove all the way up there. Had sex, went home, he had to stay over the next night, also peak, drove all the way up there again. And conceived that cycle! His work mates all thought I was mad but it worked! Haha!! Sadly we lost that baby... but I’m planning the same for this month!!! 🤞😉

These are making me laugh! And making me feel a bit better cos I've gone a bit deranged about it all since I had a ruptured ectopic and a tube removed last September. Dp works away and commutes, so on the cycles where we're not able to Dtd at the right time I am convincing myself that those are probably the times I'm using my "good side" so I'm missing the boat! I think I am just acutely aware of my "reduced" fertility whereas I conceived my previous 2 pregnancies really easily.

I too, have been know to throw the occasional strop. DP would suggest otherwise.

Once I insisted it needed to be done while I was quite poorly. Like flu like, bed bound. I was a women posed. Not quite at that stage yet.
