Hey ladies,

Feeling so down today. My cycles are usually 35-37 days long so I ovulate around CD20 but this month I’m ovulating CD14 which has never happened!

My partner is currently on pain meds for back pain which causes him not to finish if we do it to soon after his pain meds or his in pain if we do it to long after he’s taken them.

I have suggested to him insemination but he says no. Last night was the day before ovulation day and he just couldn’t finish. I got so bummed out about it and just don’t even feel like doing anything today as I feel it won’t matter as the days leading up to ovulation day are the most important.

We can’t ‘just have fun’ as because if the back pain we need to do it when it matters and could lead to conception.

Waiting until he is off meds isn’t an option as he’s waiting fir surgery which could be months away.

We’ve been trying 6 months but some months we don’t get to try because he can’t finish.

I never put pressure on him and in the moment we just enjoy ourselves and if he can’t finish I try not to make it a bit deal. But this months it’s really bummed me out 😭😭
