"So it became 'date night' instead. We'd do something intimate together, and if it was a bad week then maybe we'd just cuddle up on the couch and watch something funny.
I still felt guilty, but every time I showed that they did nothing but enthusiastically reassure me, and over time, that guilt shrank. It became easier to actually progress to sex even if I had a bad week. Sometimes, we'd just focus on me for that round."
"As someone who went through IVF with my wife, I feel you. We still have some scheduled sex now, but it’s waaayyy different than the scheduled/timed sex of our IVF days (because this sex is being scheduled for fun rather than for a result on a timeline).
There is no pressure now. I’m in my mid-forties, and sometimes things don’t biologically work as well as they did 10 years ago. And you know what? It’s not a big deal because there’s no pressure to perform. We can just switch to other forms of sexual intimacy without worrying about blowing the chance to make a baby."
