how hard are you REALLY trying?
I think I'm not trying hard enough. I've done all the research, bought OPKs and tested, and know what I need to know, but when it comes down to it I just don't think I'm  enough. It's probably all sheer laziness, but I just feel like it's so hard to have ALL that sex in like a one week span.
does anyone else think they have not been trying hard enough? Of course, it's only our second month and I'm not complaining (yet) when nothing is happening since it's my own fault.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
we arent trying that hard. this is our second month also. the first month we were just winging iit by bd around when i thought i could be ovulating. This month I have been using OPKs so i have a better idea of when i O (CD19 and still waiting )...but other than that we arent going crazy doing anything. I figured if nothing happens after a few months then i will step it up and really try harder....temping, etc.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
We didn't try that hard the first month, last month we tried a little harder. This month, I'm not temping, but I know when I should be Oing, we are this whole upcoming week, actually started yesterday. But I'm actually really mad at DH for something unrelated right now, so we'll see how this goes.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
We could definately be having more BD time....DH is a lazy azz at night and I'm sick of forcing myself on him...haha. He also works random nights during the week so it makes it harder.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
I feel like I am really trying and I am freaking tired, especially when all I want to do is go to bed after I put DD down! We have BD like crazy and if it doesn't work this time around I am not trying as hard next month!!

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
Last month we didn't really try. We just winged it but got a late start. This is the first month of really trying.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
Not really trying at all - but it's my DH's fault. His theory is, when it happens, it happens. But - my DD is already 3 and I don't want her to be too far apart in age with a sibling.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
we havent started yet (not till the new year) but I'm pretty sure that in the beginning DH is going to be VERY laid back about the whole thing. So in the 1st few months, I can already tell we will be laid back winging it.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
we tried more frequently last month and the month before and no luck. When I was PG in April (though it ended in m.c) we didnt try at all... just winged it and right away... go figure ;(
This month we're BD ing around when I should O. So we'll see.. Im going to try OPK next month if it doesn't work out this time.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
When I was TTC before my M/C I was not trying as hard as I am now and managed to get PG in a month I only one time on CD 7 of a 27/28 day cycle. It was a complete shock.
This time around I am really trying, digital OPKs and everyday from CD 7 - 15/16, or trying to at least.

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
I'm trying as hard as I can without making myself nuts.
It's difficult because come night 2 or 3 in a row, you can tell that neither of us is into it and we're totally just going through the motions for the sake of making a baby.
I  this is our month because the thought of having to all those times again next month is just

Re: how hard are you REALLY trying?
im doing IVF, i would say we are trying pretty hard 
but i do have to say, in all of the dozen or so cycles ive been through in 18 months (i have PCOS so not every month is a cycle for me), there weren't too many that we didn't try hard. especially once i found out about PCOS, it made us try harder. then after two chemicals, we tried realllllllly hard, it made us want it all the more!! there were times that it was hard to get in the mood, but toughed through it cause we wanted it that bad. i think if you really want it, you make it happen. one day last cycle (my last timed intercourse cycle) i snuck out of work to go to the RE, triggered, went home for some very short afternoon delight, and then went back to work. DH and I even discussed getting a hotel room in the city for the day just so i could sneak out during lunch and . we were on a mission. and although a lot of times we may not have felt like it, we always made it at least SOMEWHAT enjoyable. i wish it would've worked and stuck, but at least i know we did all we could and we had tons of fun trying!!
