Let's talk about sex

YayMom

Have you tried it yet? If so, how many weeks pp? I'm still no, but I'm thinking I'll have to change that soon or DH is going to leave me!

nope not yet.. I tried to initiate it once a week or so ago but my DH is a moron (i actually made a dh is a moron post about it)

I'm thinking this weekend might be it!

I'm having major surgery to repair my tear on Monday, so no sex for me till at least 5 months pp...

But as for the DH leaving you part...my DH is EXTREMELY sexual, when we were trying to get pg during "sex week" we'd have sex every day up to 3 times a day and he thought that was awesome.  We still have "sexy time" up to 3 times a week, there are other ways for me to pleasure him and for him to do the same for me!  I don't think he is sexually deprived at all, and he doesn't feel that way either.

I don't honestly think DH will leave me, but he has been ready for "real sex" the minute we got home from the hospital! I think I might hold out on him for 6 months like he did me when I was pregnant! Just joking of course, but still.

No, not yet....DH keeps talking about making irish twins.  Um, no....

We tried at 6 weeks (after my dr visit), and stopped as it hurt. After reading some advice of this board, we tried again and it was a success! The best advice I got was to have a glass of wine first, use LOTS of lube, and try to keep going as it gets better. Also, maybe a little TMI, but I was on top this time so I could control everything. It definitely hurt in the beginning, but I tried to stick with it and it got better after a few mins. I was sore afterward for a few hours, but it felt great to be back in the swing of things. GL!

I was just cleared the end of last week at my 6 week pp appt and we've had sex once since.  It was really nice to jump back in and, luckily, didn't hurt at all.

We did 2 weeks after I had my c-section, very slowly. My doctor told me we could when it felt comfortable.  And we have been 2-3 times a week since 4 weeks PP.  Even better than before I was pg!!

I couldn't wait 6 weeks till my doctors visit and we had sex at 5 weeks post.  My DH wasn't much for sex at the end of my pregnancy so it had been several months so I was dying to have it.  I was on top and had no issues. So we had a week and a half that we were able then I started my period and got a mirena and now back to no sex for two more weeks!

I did at eactly 8 weeks. Had a 2nd degree tear and it hurt....not awful but certainly wasn't good. DH kept saying it was like having sex with a virgin since I was so scared.
