The Pressures of Life...

DH has just started a new job which requires him to travel an hour to get to get to work and he starts work at 6am so the alarm goes off at 4am every morning. I'm beginning to get used to sleeping through this early morning wake up but I'm worried about how it will affect our baby making efforts.

He is working up to 9-10 hours a day and with the travel on top of that, it equates to a 12 hour day. He's been coming home exhausted and very grumpy at times and definitely not in the mood for any between the sheets shenanigans.

I'm currently CD8 and usually O fairly late in the cycle (CD19-20) so he's got a little bit of time to grow accustomed to his new routine but I can already see it causing a few disputes between us around O time when I start to stress about "getting the job done."

I miss the old days when we used to do it just for fun. These days it has become a chore. I think we've done it maybe twice since last O time and it's been almost 2 weeks of nothing but DH is showing absolutely zero interest in BD for pleasure or purpose. Definitely not feeling very wanted at the moment.

At least I can be thankful that this is a fully monitored cycle so I'll know exactly what's happening throughout the cycle and that may take some of that O time stress away.
