How to stay 'in the mood'?!! Help needed!!

[Oliveisme]

Hello lovelies, I have only recently joined this group and just love it! Okay so me and hubby would love to get pregnant. We have 2 children but both are feeling broody (me more I think :)) Anyway I know when I'm ovulating and so we try and take advantage of these magic days. However I lose interest and after a few days I am no longer 'in the mood' for sex. I have been to my GP and asked for some medication or something to help but she said that there was nothing available. So what advice would you give me? I'm frustrated and I think hubby is too. Much thanks x xx

Really struggle with this too when ttc. Luckily the first pregnancy took a month and this one about 4/5 months. My mates who are really liberal types kept going on at us to have sex like twice a day from about day 8 of cycle... but it's easy for them cause they're a really horny couple. We were lucky to get 2 decent shags somewhere around the day 12 mark! 'Saving ourselves' seemed to work better for us but all the usual cliches apply; keeping fit and being in good shape, nice undies, lots of body contact... getting into the habit of being touchy feely. Like just having a really big cuddle for the sake of it even if it doesn't lead to sex makes us feel more connected.

I think that is fairly normal for a lot of women (possibly even determined by your cycle).

For TTC DH and used to make sure we did days 8,10,12,13,14 in my cycle (once only) and then didn't worry much about the rest of the time. Not to say we didn't have any, but more that we weren't worried about it so could just enjoy it.

Reasons for not being in the mood for me were usually linked to tiredness and stress. Getting enough exercise also helped.

Me and DH gave up in the end and we thought sod it if it happens it happens!

We just had sex when we felt like it in the end and stopped thinking about it to much and i stopped looking when i was ovulating and we just had it when we were both in the mood, neither of us are really that sexual active so we found it difficult to try at it all the time. Some times we don't have it for weeks.

We got lucky in the end 2 months of just doing it when we wanted we ended up with a BFP!

I had one or two days very "in the mood" in the middle of my cycle. Very. Then meh.
Guess what? It worked better than ovulation tests! It was a fertile hormone peak followed by a dip. Maybe you only need those few days?

This worked better for us than constant shagging for a week.
