Hi all.

Just wondering if anyones's OH have struggled to perform now you are officially TTC.

We have never had any problems before, but this month since TTC. DH could not finish the job on 3 occasions and I just got frustrated with him. I am now worried if I do not get BFP this month, that next month it is going to be even worse and he won't be able to perform at all.

I am going to try and keep key dates to myself  next month to take the pressure off a bit, but I'm sure he will guess anyway. I know I n eed to be more relaxed about it all, but all I can think now, is that it will never happen cos we are going to have this problem each month.

Why is TTC so hard?

hey hun this happened to us this cycle though only the once though not because he was under pressure. i did something to make him laugh and when i told him it wasnt funny he laughed even more which made me laugh and we both lost our ahem mojo lol.

i am sorry to hear that your dh has been unable to perform do you think that now you are offically ttc hes worrying over it. i think its something you should talk to him about as if it keeps happening each month it will only upset you and stress you further and bring a wedge between you both.

is there anything bothering him at the moment. i.e work or personal issues. sometimes men worry so much other these things they are unable to perform.

sending you massive ((((hugs)))) i can imagine how frustrating it can be!

HI Leigh

He has had a cold and suffering from tightt chest in the evenings, so that doesn't help. We have also just had to pay out a lot of money on cars, new tyres, MOT and my car had to have a new from manifold, plus road taxes, so we are totally skint this month and he hates not having money. He has also said, if I tell him I;m ovulating, he feels pressured to perform and that messes him up.

Luckily this month, we did manage to perform a few times, but don't think I will try for every night again next month, will go for every other night.
