The stick said I was ovulating.
We were too freakin tired to have sex before bed… so we vowed to do it in the morning.
Me: (sleepily) What are you doing?
Hot Nerd: I have to make a deposit.
Me: It’s too early. Lets sleep a little while more.
HN: I have to go work.
Me: Ugh… okay.
HN: Roll over.
Me: OW! I’m not ready.
HN: Sorry.
Me: No… the other way
HN: Like this?
Me: Yeah… this is the best baby making position.
HN: How do you know?
Me: I know lots of stuff.
HN: Okay.
Me: Just hurry up.
HN: I’m trying.
Me: Okay… good job. mmm hmm… yup
HN: This is just functional.
Me: Awesome.
HN: *exhale*
Me: You’re done?
HN: (shoving pillow under my ass) Yeah… keep this… under you…and you know, keep your legs up.
Me: I know. I’m the one that started doing that. I’m the one who knows.
HN: I gotta get in the shower and get to work.
Me: Kay- morning. Love you.
HN: Make a baby. Keep your legs up.
Me: BYE.
HN: Call you later. (leaves room)
Me: Mm hm. (putting my legs down… going back to sleep)
The kicker is, 14 days ago… when I wasn’t ovulating… I was the biggest horn dog on the planet.
I also took a pregnancy test yesterday. It was one of those early results “five days before your period” ones.
It was ten days before my period.
HAHAHA… fantastic. Sadly for me, it was only 1 day with the pillow under my ass, lying on the floor and BAM – twins. I wish I had more time to get bored of it. LOL.

Good Luck Mommy! WE’ve done the functional not fun baby dance..it took 1 try. I believe it was a quickie on Labor day as I was on my way out the door to work and Bella was napping:) Sending you all the baby making vibes I can send over the internet without being considered pornographic!:)XO

So True!!! Lived/ living it
Lady Estrogen has me terrified of the pillow under the ass trick now!
Truly, it can become the most functional, chore-like thing.
My feet may or may not be in the air as I write this…
Good luck I know how not fun trying can be. After almost 2 years of that we finally said screw it and started having fun again and boom we were pregnant. I think sometimes when you stop trying so hard is when it happens.
Becky recently posted..Sometimes you just have to vent
I’ve heard others say that too. Time to force some fun on this plan!
I remember that… nobody told me that hubs would go from “wanting to have sex, anytime, anywhere, ready on the spot” to “seriously? this isn’t any fun. I don’t want to” after just a week or so of daily sex… thankfully we prevailed and DID get pregnant… 2 years later I’m trying to convince him we should do it again in the not-too-distant future

Two years seems to be some kind of magic benchmark. I wrote last week about it… and so many moms seem to have that “itch” around that time.
When I was trying to get pregnant, I read somewhere that you had to have sex every other day. So that is what we did, it was pure torture.
But I think my husband liked it.

Oh Gawd… I hope my husband doesn’t read this.
I am the most fertile person I know… it never came down to this for us – all 3 of ours were surprises. Well, the baby making part of it never came down to that… sex is EXACTLY like that sometimes!

I’m really glad you posted this so that I know it’s NOT just us. I regularly want to punch people who say–when they hear we have been trying for awhile to have another baby– ‘yeah, but it sure is fun trying.’ No, it’s not, and you have obviously never tried…tried…and…tried again to get pregnant.
Thanks for the giggle.

This almost the EXACT version of us trying to get pregnant. Where you there?
By the way, that child is now 25.
We tried for two years with my second one. Functional sex blows. Or…not. There is no foreplay in actual baby making. Just get er done. We finally conceived after I was out of town for a week. Turns out it was really quality, not quantity!

I’m sorry… what’s “foreplay”?
this is so true…my sex life still hasn’t recovered!!! i started putting the legs down too. if they want to get there, they’ll get there no matter how you’re tipped!

Well lady, here’s to you not having to prop the ass much longer.
I made a promise to the hubby not to try to track days and ovulation and stuff until after 3 months of trying. I got pregnant month 2. So we were kind of lucky in that we didn’t lose all the fun. I think he liked that I wouldn’t ever say I was too tired b/c I was so motivated for the baby.

BEEN THERE! DONE THAT!
It was the longest 11 months of my life.
Worst. Sex. Ever.
It was worth it though, because my 9 month old is the best thing ever.
11 months??!!!
Aaarrrggghh. My fingers are crossed that we don’t have to try that long. I’m sure my vagina will revolt.
OMG this is TOO funny. And, sadly, very true.
I have a good friend who is going through the same thing right now and I would LOVE for her to see this post!!
Good luck with the baby making…try not to stress (I know that is cliche)!
Ugh…that’s no-fun sex. There’s something about sex you HAVE TO DO that takes all the fun right out of it. It’s not wrong and dirty when you have to track everything and make it all scientific!
Crystal recently posted..Lets Get- Lets Get- Lets Get- Lets Get Rocked!
heheh….I usually am all about the sex, even in the babymaking stages…but uh, we’re done with all of that. Last night, however? Almost word for word in our bed, minus the babymaking references. He had a need to release and I just wanted to sleep (which again, rarely happens in that pattern here – usually he’s the one falling asleep and I’m all rubby rubby horny gal) – I say so long as it’s not always that way, functional/obligation sex is ok every once in awhile, especially when there is a purpose behind it!

Last month I used up twenty-five pregnancy tests, and you think I am exaggerating, but no maam, I am not. Yesterday, after the ovulation strip said my body might be making an attempt at egg release, I found myself doing the equivalent of a shoulder stand in bed. Naked. A position that only my husband can appreciate.
