Does anyone else find DTD to TTC a chore?

[Crocodial]

We are already blessed with a child and I'm extremely grateful. We are very early in TTC Baby no 2 and when it comes to the week I'm ovulating, I dread DTD constantly. It feels like such a chore and I'm just exhausted from our child and life in general and would much rather be having an early nights sleep. It feels like a task to be completed, and I have no desire to make it all romantic etc. Is it just me?

No, I was exactly the same.

Definitely! I'm on month 15 so completely understand what you mean. I can't wait to end FW and find the TWW the most relaxing!

I'm on cycle 6 of ttc number 2 and there is so much more tiredness to contend with this time. My daughter isn't a great sleeper at the best of times so I know where you're coming from! In reality, my cycles used to be 35 days and now they're between 25-29, so that's better of course. I got my peak this morning .

Yep! My DS still isn’t a great sleeper. Often I do think ‘maybe we could just wait until next month when I’m less tired’ but then realise I’ll never be less tired. It’s the feeling that we have to DTD or I’ll regret it for not doing it often enough that I hate too.

Simply put. YES

I didn't but I think my DH did, tbh!

Definitely! We have 3 but dh wants to try again and so far it's been 2 years of ovulation tests and timed sex. I don't have the enthusiasm I used to and the more the age gap grows the more I'm not fussed if it's to be or not.

@Crocodial OMG thinking back (10 years) and you are absolutely right! I was exhausted and it was not romantic at all TTC DC2. We used to do it on the sofa during the TV adverts.
