TTC - how to have sex every other day???

Question

Ladies, I'm struggling with trying to have sex every other day. It just doesn't happen. I'm lucky if I can get it on every 3rd or 4th day. I need tips please!!!!

My husband is not crazy about sex all the time and he is usually tired, stressed from work or the day and just wants to relax or sleep at the end of he day. And in the morning he leaves for work super early and honestly it's not gonna happen at 5am. We are both out of the house from 7/8am till 6/7pm at work then come home eat, clean up, pack food and maybe get 1-2 hrs to relax or watch a movie or something before bed.

How do u guys manage to have sex in this kind of lifestyle? How do I get us in a routine to have sex every other day????

Do you guys discuss when u'll do it, plan it, schedule it, or ur men are just always in the mood and ready for it?

I feel like we aren't getting pregnant because we honestly don't have sex frequent enough and my husband just isn't always up and ready to do it. Helppp please!!! Advice, tips, recos, stories!!! I need to know what to do!!!

Answer

I had this problem too. My husband has a fairly low sex drive and was stressed with work, etc. I used OPKs. We BD'd the day of the positive and the day after. Otherwise it was too stressful for both of us. Good luck!

We are also pretty busy and have a 16 month old which doesn't help. First time round it was no problem, TTC #2 is harder as we just don't have sex as much as we did. Have you tried making it clear to him when you need to be having sex?  I now make it very clear to my hubby when I'm around my fertile window and how much sex we need to have. We go back to 'normal' the other times of the month, around twice a week. I know it's not romantic but sometimes you just need to be clear! Maybe watch TV or movies in bed more that week? Then it's closer and more likely to lead to sex?

Answer

Morning sex is so quick and you can go right back to sleep! And right before bed. In the shower. Just make it happen. Make time.

Answer

My husband loved trying for a baby because we had sex a lot. He was pissed when it took only one month for me to get pregnant lol

Answer

Well honestly it is stressful trying to plan the sex. I know my SO and I enjoy it when it naturally happens and so it was a little bit of a struggle and almost ends up feeling like a chore. However my fiancé knew we really wanted to have kids and he knew I was doing everything from tracking and doing opks and taking bbt and since he saw how much I wanted it he just went along with it. I usually had to start it and get things going haha but still. We did try to spice it up and do fun things. Like one day we did it on the couch downstairs, another day he opened up our futon down by the bar and lit a bunch of candles, another time we started in the shower and moved to the bed. So we tried to switch it up and make it fun.
