Livnkades and Writeonyogamama I found bathroom quickies (sometimes in the morning) to help things along. DH was usually into the idea and (a little embarrassed to admit, but) PBS Kids kept DD occupied long enough! Not always ideal, but effective. Have you tried lingerie? That's also always a big clue to my DH that , oh, she's in the mood! But that only works if it makes you feel sexy. I totally hear you both though, husbands completely DO NOT get it!! Very frustrating. That is a huge factor in why it took us 10 cycles before success. Only getting 1 or 2 BD in during the fertile window was apparently not enough in 9 cycles prior to success!
And Primaljoy, I think it was you that asked about charting Vs. OPKs a while back. I had been using OPKs for 8 cycles, BD timed per + OPK. No success. I temped for 2 cycles (also using OPKs) and got pregnant the second cycle. It was really interesting to see how the OPK +s compared to when I actually O'd, and how I got different results from different brands of OPKs. This last cycle I used Wondfo OPKs and FRER OPKs. Based on temping, I got a + OPK 2 full days before O with Wondfos. With FRER, not until the day before. And the Wondfos stayed positive for 2 days. The FRER was only + once. But based on my Pre-O temp dip (which I noted the first month of temping) we managed to BD each of the 3 days before O and the day after O. I am convinced those early days (-3 and -2) were the key.
Thinking of you all and continuing to send lots of good vibes
