BD

DH has been goine on a golfing trip, he comes home tonight and I am on CD 8. I am going to start using my OPK tomorrow, as I got the 20 test pack. I think that for us one of the most challenging parts of TTC is keeping the passion and spark alive between us while still trying to "schedule" BD. I am trying not to let my desire for a baby become so engulfing that I lose my passion and fun with DH. It's such a hard balance and I think that it might be harder on him. Sometimes I know that he feels like he has to "perform" just for me. I think that when TTC for extended periods of time, even though it may kill me to think of losing a cycle, we need to take a step back and take a month off. You never know, by taking that preassure off of the situation it just might turn out to be better and it might be the cycle I concieve. I think that when DH gets back from golfing tonight I am going to do a special dinner for him and really try to make a nice moment where we can connect without an agenda. I know this site centers around TTC, but there are so many deeper emotional issues that go along with the process that it's not always so cut and dry. I am putting this out there because I know there have to be other couples struggling with this.
