    whats the chances considering not dtd after peak

    Hi all, need some advice.
    Dh and I are so over dtd. It has become harder and harder.

    Today my fertility monitor shoqwed me with peak fertility, yay!
    However, dtd with dh was terrible and took extremely long and I wanted to cry man times while we were at it.

    So, I dont think we will be dtd tomorrow as we also had an argument and not on talking terms in regards to dtd

    Is there still a high chance of conception if we dtd this morning and my monitor showed peak fertility?

    Will most sperm live for 2 days?

    Thnaks all, quite emotionally scarred atm as I feel this next bub will no longer be conceived from love

    I'm not 100% sure about those fertility programs as I always got confused by them! But I'd say if you're highly fertile today and you DTD today, there is a chance.

    Definitely a chance! I know what you mean about the dtd. By the end it was like a chore that never ended

    Thanks ladies, well I read the instruction book and it said I am due to ovulate in the next 24 to 36 hrs.

    I hate having to grovel to dtd even thoguh dh wants another bub just as much as me.

    Yup like a major chore indeed

    My Fs says that we only have to DTD every second day. I am the same, we both get up very early for work and Im so tired at night it's the last thing on my mind! I didn't think DTD every day would be a problem for DH, but he says it doesn't work like that (not like the movies tell us!)
    Sperm can live inside your body for up to 5 days, if they have good mobility. It's ok to have a days rest in between, we are not machines! Do you have any ovulation signs other than fertility monitor?

    I still think there is a chance as the others have said.

    Huge hugs to you because I know TTC is hard work and it is so difficult to BD time and time again, especially when neither of you are really into it (speaking from experience here, lol). I know you have been TTC for a long time so that makes it all the more difficult for you.

    I also wanted to reassure you that your baby WILL be conceived out of love even if you arent enjoying DTD because it isnt loving the act of conception, but more the love you and your DH share which create the baby (even dispite an argument).

    thank you ladies for your support
    i feel slightly better today but not looking forward to dtd today and tomorrow. I am worried if i skipped today i might have missed it even though i know sperm can live up to 5 days but i would be kicking myself!!!

    Ahurani and Tasha, sorry i cant give you rep points to show my gratitude as I gotta spread the love first lol but i appreciate everyones support
