how do I get in the mood when I have ovulation pain?

It seems like a cruel joke of nature that when I'm most fertile, I have awful ovulation pain. The last thing I'd want to do is have sex in that state, and it lasts for 2-4 days! + Intercourse (never my favorite sexual activity to begin with) feels particularly painful when I'm ovulating. Any suggestions?

Do you take pain relievers? tylenol? and have your tried robitussin? It's supposed to get cm moving along and it'll give you just enough sedative to relax. Take a dose 30 minutes or so before you plan to have intercourse and see if it helps to relax the pain some. Also my dr. tells me to have a glass of wine. That'll definitely get you in the mood. Also we've used preseed. I don't inject it vaginally - we use it more as a foreplay lubricant. I know this is a hard time. and when your DH has to perform on demand for days in a row -- it gets trying. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I should just take some Tylenol but I had this notion that if I did so, I'd lose track of the clue that I was ovulating (in the form of the pain). Lol I guess I was being too stoic! As for alcohol, I don't drink it at all and I am v. sensitive to the ingredients in Robitussin, but I could try a lower dose. Yes, been curious about the Pre-seed. Good to read an endorsement. Does get tedious for me and DH doing it on command ;)

Maybe try the pediatric version... I believe that's what I've used. I have 2 children and have been trying for #3 for almost 3 years. It's a long hard road but I'll get there. I've had 4 m/c's so at least I know some combination I'm using is at least helping me get pregnant! Best to you!

Hiya, just read your post here too. Pediatric version sounds good. I have such a sensitive stomach the last thing I need on top of the O. pain is to feel nausea! Good luck on baby #3! I've only been trying 4 months on baby #1, so I know I must learn patience...

what a great question. i struggle with that too. especially when i am on meds....i am bloated, huge and in pain, since i've had tons of follicles brewing in there due to the fertility meds. the last thing on my mind is sex. plus the drugs i take decrease your sex drive. it's been very noticeable for me. i feel for my DH. doing it in the morning, before i start feeling really crappy the rest of the day seems to help.

Feel very bloated and tired then as well. No pain but just kinda yucky...but that is when my sex drive actually exists and I have cm and lubrication so it works out ok. I find morning is best before pain really sets in, try that.
