Q: Sex Isn't Fun No More

I keep reading everyones post that are try'n to have a baby and everytime they take a test and its negative they say o well. I guess we'll keep having sex its sooo much fun! I admit it use to be.. I love my husband to be so much..But we both want a baby so bad that sex just isn't as fun as it use to be. Its almost like a chore. Maybe thats why we can't have a baby. But how do we get over that. How can we help not feeling that way. Every month its the same old.. "or I think this months it!" then i'll take the test and negative. My emotions loss control. And hes disapointed. What can we do?

Maybe you need to agree to take a break for a few months. If you both relax and start enjoying each other again, I bet it will happen for you. Sometimes I think the stress of it all hinders the process.

I Know How You Feel...
Hey cogoli!
I know how you feel, cuz I am in the same boat. Sex seems like such an effort now that we are actively ttc.
I was told by someone, and I thought i'd pass this on to you. You may need a change of setting, so like going away on vacation, for a week (when you know it's ovulation time) and relaxing, getting away from it all. It seems like having sex isn't as much of a "chore" when you are away from the everyday, and it might be just what you need for you to actually conceive.
My hubby and I are going away for 10 days in april.
I hope this helps! ;-) good luck!

Maybe a vac-k would help but its so hard finding time..He works 60 hrs a wk and im a full time stundent. I feel helpless.. Now im having baby dreams.. My mind needs to relax its always racing. Im so emotional all the time. I can't even watch the snuggle commical with dropping a tear or two. Its even worse with the baby johnson commical."a baby changes everything" well im waiting and wanting that change.

I am laughing to myself as I write this because you sound exactly like me!! I am always soo emotional and sometimes I feel bad for my hubby cuz he has to put up with me..He tries to be supportive, but he can't do much either to make me feel better.
My hubby works odd shifts and about 44 hours a week and I work a normal 9-5 monday-friday. It was like pulling teeth to organize this trip, but we somehow did it! Maybe when it's your summer break you can organize something...Or even a weekend away?
Just know you aren't alone in feeling this way. But you have to have faith. I know it's not reassuring, cuz I hate hearing it myself, but that's all I know to say.

Cogoli - are you still having sex just to have sex or only when you are ovulating and trying for a baby. You may need to add some "stress" free sex to your life. Lighten it all up a bit.

Well I set it up a 3day getaway.. It was easier then I thought. The only the problem with having sex to make a baby is that I don't know when I am ovaulating..My period it irruglar it comes and goes as it pleases. Thats why its so stressful because I don't know which days which. I guess im just going to have to try and forget about the baby for awhile until the stops racing.
