Pregnant after a Loss

I want to miss sex...

but I don'tEmbarrassed and I feel really bad for DH. I was hoping my drive would start coming back-even though I am still scared to go there-but it hasn't.

Maybe in a few weeks when I am out of 1st tri completely?

Am I the only one?

Re: I want to miss sex...

  • Nope.  Sex for us is rare.  Very rare.  I think we have had sex once since my BFP.  ::Hangs head in shame::

  • You are not alone!! I seriously want nothing to do with it. I also feel bad for dh, but he takes care of himselfEmbarrassed
  • 1st tri, I felt like crap and didn't want it at all.. it really hasn't been up until the past few weeks that I've been getting back in the mood. And when I do have sex, while the sex itself is AMAZING and the O's are great, I HURT. Like, my nether regions feel as though they are going to explode in a not so good way. So that makes me not have it as much as I'd like to!

  • Us too - I feel bad for DH, but most of the time I'm just so tired or so sick that I can't even think about it.  It's actually becoming a bit of a problem.  I've always been a "once a week" kind of person, if that.  And he's always had a higher drive than me.  It didn't used to be a problem, but over the past year, it has been.  It makes me sad.  I don't really know what happened to me, but I just don't want to anymore.
  • Because of my weak cervix...I won't have sex with DH! I know DH misses it...but i'm like you...not really a desire for it right now!

  • I am the opposite. I've been chasing my DH, but the first tri, I didn't want it. Now my hormones are in full effect!

  • we haven't had it since bfp. my DH is getting impatient, but he is very understanding. hopefully my sex drive comes back soon!
    Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

  • We are starting to have sex more but it's only for DH's sake.  I just don't ever want it.  Ever.  And I really mean that.

  • I don't ever want it. I do feel bad for DH, so I'll help him out in other ways but the idea of sex is just so ugh right now...

  • I am STILL dealing with this...I wish I missed it as well. I do miss the connection with DH so I do it for that but I just can't get into it. AHH!

    It took me until maybe a week or two ago to actually be interested in sex again.
  • I feel the same way. ?I keep having these amazing sex dreams, but IRL I don't want it at all :( ?
  • OMG! I was totally going to post about this today !! We've had sex 3 times since I got my BFP - and I was beginning to think that maybe I should feel bad , ( but I don't) most nights I'm in bed way before Dh and he gets up before me too - nice to know I'm not the only one!

  • I got yeast infections twice after having sex in the 1st Tri.  This created even more of an aversion, esp. when coupled w/fatigue & nausea.  We occ. have what DH calls "pity sex", but he has been very understanding about the many, many occasions when I shot down his advances. I still don't have much desire though, and would really prefer a back rub and a good night's sleep.

  • you are NOT alone. As soon as I got my bfp DH was totally in agreement to actually wait til after 1st tri. scared to death to see spotting, whether it's from sex or not....
  • I think DH has gotten lucky about 5 times since we found out! The last time, 3 days ago, was finally initiated by me (and was really really awesome) but it had been a good 3-4 weeks since our last time.

    I still don't really feel up to it, but I'd had some of 'those dreams' and decided I'd better do something about it!

    Hope you feel up to it soon!
