Gentle excuses for why ILs cannot stay with us a particular weekend (they usually do)

I don't see what the big deal would be about any of these options:
* Let your in-laws stay with you and do it quietly as others have said.
* Let them stay and go ahead and make as much as you like; so what if they hear?
* Tell your in-laws you will be baby-making and they are welcome to stay with you if it won't offend their sensibilities or else they are welcome to stay elsewhere.

You and your parents are gross.

Just having my ILs staying in our house would be enough to kill my sex drive.

Get a sample from your husband and turkey baster it up in there. Had a friend who did that when her husband was recovering from surgery and couldn't have sex.

Tell them your parents already claimed that week. Done and done.

Just saw your note--say something about wanting to space out visitors a little more so you enjoy their company more and wanting more time just with each set of parents lately.

Also, why do they get to announce when they are visiting anyway?

Do you always create this much drama over such little things? There's no obigation to try to conceive baby this exact month. If it's that embarrassing to have sex with ILs in the next room, then don't do it. Try for next month. No big deal.

I don't want to announce to my ILs or my own mother that we are going to have sex, so I don't think you're a prude for that. But I do think that having them not stay may have more to do than the sex. Like others have said--you can turn on the shower, send grandparents to the park with your child or have them take him out for lunch. There are so many ways for you to do this. Is there something else going on, op?

OMG!
We are trying to make a baby and want the house to ourselves!
Your inlaws know you have sex
Your inlaws have had sex
That's how you got a DH to try to make a baby with

Go ahead and make up a stupid story and get caught in a lie
And ruin your relationship
Sheesh
Just say that is a bad time, baby making week and want your privacy
