On a family holiday around ovulation… what do I do?!

46 replies

namechangeagainn · 31/12/2023 19:11

NC to be anonymous! We’re going away with extended family (sharing accommodation) and my ovulation will likely fall in the middle of it.

We go away when I am on CD14 and I usually ovulate on day 16 or 17.

Does anyone have any ideas? Don’t want to miss our window but not sure what to do and whether trying to DTD while away is silly… don’t want to be heard or for anyone to come back and find us 😀😀 I am racking my brains but I really can’t think of anything.

I would either put it on hold or get the kit to get your partner to cum in a cup and use a syringe? You should be able to do this fairly sneakily.

Grr...

Reasonably do so. (Own room, enough time).

If you're sharing with others, obviously not.

Otherwise no idea why you wouldn't just because others are in the house.

We’re not all sharing a room hahaha. I just don’t know how thin the walls will be in the apartment. They might all go to the beach on one day etc but can’t be sure of it

I was going to suggest a quickly in the bathroom. Turn the shower on and music on the phone to block out any sounds

What kind of weird family holiday is it where you won’t be able to shag? Are you in tents? Bunk beds? A caravan?

I'd shag in a tent tho, no need to make a racket about it and advertise to the world 🤷‍♀️

I wouldn't worry about it. Do it at night. Don't go crazy / make loads of noise

Sure someone listening intently might work it out but that's their problem.

Lovemusic82 · 31/12/2023 19:30

Learn to shag quietly? If you don’t have dc already you will need to learn to be quiet once they come along.

You could also rake illness and stay behind when everyone else goes out?

Not at all. I wouldn't overtly do it during the day but absolutely would at night, keeping noise down.

Nope.

I mean, I’d make an effort to be quiet but I think it’s a given that most couples have sex on holiday.

Passingthethyme · 31/12/2023 19:34

Go shag in the bushes! 😆🥰

You do realise that if you get pregnant your family are going to realise you are having sex, right?

NewUser1111 · 31/12/2023 19:39

Lol. think of it as a preparation for the rest of your life- or at least the next 18 years- with kids!!

This ^ go and take a shower together

It's a perfectly normal suggestion that I often see suggested on these boards. How do you think people get pregnant with a sperm donor ?

HJ40 · 31/12/2023 19:51

If you do get pregnant, wait for the "oooh - Benidorm holiday baby, was it?" comments.

This.

And you can have sex quietly! You don’t have to be noisy!

I’ve been on family holidays and had sex. You have your own room so people shouldn’t just be walking in…

Borgonzola · 31/12/2023 19:54

Christ!

Just be quiet, surely?

NancyPickford · 31/12/2023 19:56

Huh? Just keep the noise down, if you normally shriek or 'Oh My God' during the deed. You can have stealthy sex you know.

mycatsanutter · 31/12/2023 19:58

Just have a quiet quickie if you don't get any alone time .
