Rant: I'm trying much harder than my husband to have baby #2
DH and I have been TTC #2 for six months. He travels for work and sometimes that makes it a challenge with timing. We both really want to grow our family and get disappointed when each month it doesn't happen. I am watching all the moms who have toddlers my son's age grow #2 bumps ... But not me.
I'm frustrated because I feel like I'm "trying" a lot harder than he is!
I am careful to be healthy and even things like not taking ibuprofen after my fertile days, etc
I felt my cervix was open yesterday morning but my husband wasn't in the mood so even though I made an effort to BD 3x, it ended in a fight. I felt I was still open tonight but he is out with his sister (they don't get to see each other often). His exact words were "I'll stay up as long as I can with my sister tonight to spend time with her". Never mind I could still be in my fertile time ... The last day or so... Or hat we haven't BD since Thurs lunch time... Or or that I'll have to wake up with our son because my husband will be tired from his night out. And then I'm supposed to be energetic to BD if he feels like it?
I imagine no one will read this whole rant... But my point is, it's frustrating that women do SO MUCH more work with the baby, and now in doing it all to get pregnant? Why doesn't my husband want to have no repercussions, condom free sex all the time? He actually said I'm pressuring him because I make an effort every other day during my fertile time. Sigh.
