so it turns out that demanding sex every day doesn't endear men or women to their partners.
had to have a long talk with the husband last night/early this morning about how, after 2.5 days of trying to conceive, we were already pissed off at each other. he was feeling the pressure of being asked to "perform" every day in some sort of high stakes environment; i was feeling betrayed that he wasn't as devoted to our cause as i am. alas, we skipped a day. i know some people operate on an every-other-day schedule as it is, so it shouldn't be a big deal... but i panicked. i just didn't want to feel like this whole cycle was a wash because we missed a day that could have been THE day. but i got things back into perspective... his feelings obviously matter. (although secretly i think it's kind of interesting for him to get a sense of the piece of meat sensation that we women endure throughout our entire lives. but i didn't tell him that.) in any case, i think we've sorted things out (back on track today, at least!), but it was an important lesson to learn at a very early point in the process. who knew?
