My husband and I are on day six (or so) of the Sperm Meets Egg Plan.  Basically, this means that we do the deed every other day until I ovulate, plus that day, and the day after that.  Then we can rest for two weeks until I either get my period or see a positive pee stick.

I don’t know about y’all, but – DUDE.  That is a lot of deediness to be done.  Especially if you tend to have later ovulations, like me.

We’ve never really been quite as active as the Sperm Meets Egg Plan suggests.  My sex drive was pretty low for years thanks to my over-exercising and eating disorder – the same thing that led to my hypothalamic amenorrhea.  Now, things are much better in that arena, but every other day still seems like a lot of work.  After thinking about it, I have compiled a list of Unsexy Things Killing My Sex Drive, Not To Mention My Husband’s.

1. John’s Unemployment! With a side of lethargy and depression.
2. Not to mention the yooge mortgage on our house and resultant anxiety.
3. Middle of the night phone emergency phone calls from my employer.
4. Three dogs and two cats watching you do it.
5. A mother-in-law in the guest room for two months.
6. My thighs feeling about the same size as my mortgage.

What about you?  Do you ever struggle with baby making sex?
