Pregnant after IF

s.e.x.

How soon after your BFP did you start having sex again?  I'm completely and totally freaked out by the idea.  DH doesn't want to "mess anything up down there" but I know we can't go celibate forever.  We haven't had sex since May Embarrassed

Any tips, thoughts, insights, ideas or anxiety-relieving tidbits would be appreciated :)

Re: s.e.x.

  • My Dh was really funny about sex at first so I had the RE tell him that he wouldn't hurt anything:)  In his head he somehow equated my previous miscarriages to us having sex.  It did take a while though for him to feel comfortable to have regular sex again but we did get there eventually.

  • Thank goodness you responded!  I was beginning to feel a little Embarrassed, or maybe just thinking nobody else was doing the deed.

    Thanks for the input!  I need to ask the RE for sure.

    We became "that couple" .  Yup, the one that does not have sex.  I felt too crappy to even care. Until this past week, and that was purely functional- to try to get this kid out! ;)

    This.  I think we tried it once in my last pregnancy, and I found it really uncomfortable.  DH is not so nervous about it this time, but I still am... :(  Poor DH!

  • I think we might have once in the 1st trimester.  After that, it's been a few times in the 2nd tri, but we've definitely slowed down.  I'm just not interested, and I think the fact that I can feel the boys move freaks out DH.
