Feeling humped out but still waiting for O

Im feeling humped out but need to keep at it as O hasn't happened yet and I'm still not getting positive OPK

Just wondering what do you do to get in the mood when all you want to do is come home from work, hang out in your sweats and go to bed ... And give your vag a break.

what Cole said or...

sounds like you need to take a night off. If your worried about missing your window just have sex in the morning if you're too tired now.

I totally feel you!  Even my DH sometimes feels like he wants a couple days off (and I try to make it so it isn't during my FW, but can't always help it!)...I even get the occasional question of, 'are we supposed to have sex tonight?'  Sweet, honey, thanks...

But I definitely agree with the 'lube' comment, and maybe throw on a movie that gets you in the mood...can't hurt, right?

It's ok to take a break if you need it. Every other day is fine.

We took yesterday off and the morning on weekdays isn't an option because of our schedules. Hubby leaves town on Friday for 3 days so I'm feeling like its tonight and tomorrow night and if still no O then I'm jumping on him as soon as he gets home on Monday. It would be such a shame to miss the window when we have been HIO so much the past 2 weeks. I'm trying to keep that thought as motivation but I'm exhausted and I feel like I'm getting sick.

I'm even waiting for Hubby in a nighty right now and I have very little interest. He should be home in 15 ...

How close to positive are your OPKs? If they aren't very close, I'd just go to bed. You can still do it tomorrow night and Friday before he leaves.

This. In fact, I'm pretty sure I may have "can I just lay here?" at some point.

I was the closest this past weekend so I thought I O Monday but I was told today by other bumpies that it doesn't look like I did. My chart is in my siggy.
FF predicts today as O. I have watery CM but no ovulation pain.

If we don't do tonight it would only be tomorrow night as hubby leaves town at 6am Friday.

Vent I'm out this month. Hubby got home and we did the deed .. An hour into it we still didn't have "lift off" so to speak. Needless to say I was done. My body couldn't take any more. There is no way I could BD tonight and hubby is gone this weekend leaving Friday at 6am and back late Monday. With my luck I'll O in the next 3 days and be out this month. I'm exhausted and emotional from so much BD all at the wrong time. End vent.

Definitely EOD all the way....we tried ED around when I thought my FW was - I was way too early, and we got totally burned out. No fun. Doing it EOD, even if we start before my FW I find it's much easier to get into the mood if you take a night off.
