Just the fact that you tell him you are ovulating adds pressure. For example, imagine the word "interview"...

Just a word, right? But it's not the word that is the problem. It's the associations with the word. You know you only get one chance. You don't want to blow it. All of the practice interviews didn't mean anything but this is it, this it the one. So, you go in, you stand in front of the interviewer, and you still get that feeling in your stomach.

The word "interview" is associated with nerves. With performance.

When TTC, to a man, the word "ovulating" means that everything hinges on your performance, too.

Tis all in the mentality.
