To tell or not to tell

Danielle

My husband and I are trying to conceive our rainbow baby. I had a miscarriage in August and was devastated as this was my first pregnancy. We had gotten pregnant on our first “try” so we are still technically new to this whole process. We are healing beautifully and ready to start trying again. Now, I’m ovulating for the first time and of course I’m ready to get it on.

I was out of town this weekend when I started ovulating. Then he didn’t get home till late Sunday. No hanky panky still. So I think we’re ready to do the deed tonight, and I get shut down! He says he’s tired and I’m pressuring him too much. SHUT DOWN!

Now, I’m all hormonal and horny, left in the dust. I didn’t tell him I’m ovulating because since this only technically our second month of trying, I don’t want to ruin the mood by insinuating I’m only having sex with you because I want to procreate.

Should I have told him that I am/was ovulating? Or just say fuck it and wait till next month?

I want to communicate my feelings because it hurt getting shut down, but at the same time I did that to him all the time in the past. It doesn’t help that I feel the pressure of time and small ovulation windows. I also don’t want him to start analyzing my every move if I suddenly get a little more sex crazy during a certain time each month. Ughhhhh. So many feels. What would you do?
