Seems so odd to say it was transactional after only the first month too. I’ve never ttc but i can imagine that after a few months of no success it can start to lose some of the magic and feel a bit clinical with making sure you’re keeping track of your cycle properly.

but to have sex for a week and call it transactional says a lot about how she feels about Kurt.

I am TTC and we are 6 weeks in and it's honestly been so fun and made us connected, sometimes it's a bit "ugh I'm a little tired but let's do it" but that's about it
Now I will also say we are ONLY 6 weeks in with trying so I can understand that it does get frustrating, exhausting and not as "fun" with the more months that go by without conceiving, she is making out like her very normal fertility journey is something like a struggle?

Clinical is definitely the right word over transactional lol
 
My fertiltiy journey was a long one. a year and a half. ive explained my life in EmmyLou forum before we opened up a fezzas chat, but i had a long struggle. I ended up unfollowing a lot of people on instagram becuae they were pregnant all the time and i just wasnt. i cried a lot in that year, i looked after my sister in palletive care as she passed peacefully to breast cancer - but the fertlity journey is no joke. The ovulation sticks is useful (especially the clear blue smiley one) because if you have an irregular cycle, your day of ovulation may change & if you want a baby you need to know when you are ovulating at your most fertile time. Sex becomes a chore when nothing works out and i ended up resenting my partner through this journey becuase well i kept blaming myself for everything. eventually after me hanging out with my friends and explaining why ive been so distant, i started to re love my partner again and understand that there is two of us here doing this together. Im having a baby girl and i believe my late sister has been protecting her in spirit to make sure she sticks around as i have had two chemical pregnancies (early miscarriages).

She had sex every day for a week and then was like EURGH it's too much.

Imagine if she had actual fertility problems and it took months of tracking ovulations, injections and all the other very common problems women have to go through.
She has it so easy and she still finds ways to complain

But I thought they conceived M really quickly after the wedding, so why is she talking about sex as transactional. Tell me you are in a loveless marriage

Exactly right! In the first few months at least it should be a fun novelty, it was for my husband and I atleast. We were in the group of people who took 2 years with IVF to conceive, so after a year or so of trying yes...it was a little bland but I would have never used the word "transactional" to describe it.
 
What a tit show 🍿

What surprises me the most here is the lack of knowledge from her? Sperm can survive up to 5 days, she could have just got busy every other day or every 3 days and got the same result. She just needs to track her temp in the morning to get an idea of when she's ovulating. I can imagine not being in the mood after months of not conceiving, but a week of bleeping as newlyweds being "transactional" is really sad. Not super spontaneous sure, but transactional means "I give you the vag for 10, you give me the sperm, then duck off" to me and that's... grim

Did she say when they starting trying?

She said they got pregnant the first month, so based off of that they started June 2021
