Relationships  Discussion Forum

I am trying to conceive and thought that this month I had sex just at the right time (just by guessing & counting days & monitoring my cycle). But I had a very slimy discharge a few days before I was expecting my periods. I am not sure what could be that. I don't have very regular periods but sometimes they are regular & sometimes even up to 45 days. I & my husband both work. We are married for almost 4yrs now & want to have a baby but we don't have sex regularly - sometimes 2-3 months pass without having sex. Apparently my husband has a very low sex drive..I want & try but it hasn't worked for me. He has seen doctor too but doctor said everything is okay. I don't know what to do. I am in US. Here gyne says - First you should try for at least 6 months seriously, then go for fertility tests & all. But we have not been able to \";TRY\"; for 6 months as I can count on fingures the number of times I have had sex in these 4 yrs of marriage. Please suggest something. I have read a lot of your responses and you seem a very helpful & knowledgeable person. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Papaya
Archie replied. Dear Papaya,
Read my other posts on how to use OPK.
Given irregular period and less frequent sex can get you long to conceive.
Try to work on your intercoruse. Use OPK and have intercourse when you find OPK positive. Buy OPK that predicts ovualation within 24-36 hours, so your intercourse is spaces near to expected ovulation.
If your husband has normal physiology and count of sperm this low sex drive won't affect much on conceiving process.

Good luck
