Ahem.... can we talk pelvic rest?

So, we were put on pelvic rest after transfer.  Then I got OHSS and we couldn't do anything.  Then I've been kind of queasy and sick and going to bed super early so we haven't really thought about it.

I asked my doctor awhile ago if we could come off but she said wait until the ultrasound and see what the doctor says.  Ultrasound was totally normal and great, I've had no bleeding but the doctor refused to answer if we could come off pelvic rest or not.

Well.... tonight I officially took us off pelvic rest.  I just couldn't wait any longer!!!!  G keeps saying "I don't think we should have done that!!!" but I say it's fine!!!!  Give me some support so I can tell him that "my girls" agree with me!!

Ive never been on pelvic rest but i say if youre feeling good and havent had any issues with spotting/ bleeding then i say youre probably good so good for you

Tell your DH that he should consider himself lucky that you are even considering. 

My poor DH has been a very deprived man this pregnancy.

Oh I more than considered....   I've got to say, I feel like my libido is coming back and it's a welcome comeback!!!   

Even though G feels nervous about it now, it was worth it!!

Ditto Hels!!

I have absolutely NO interest in that right now!! lol

We were cleared at 6w5d & he reminds me almost daily.

Yea, I was cleared at 6w and have yet to partake in ANY under the sheets activities. I feel bad for DH, but I am so nervous and also fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow. Soon enough though I have to give up the goods.

Good for you though!!

I'm still on pelvic rest...ugh, I cannot wait for it to be over. 

Glad you can enjoy being off!

I was on pelvic rest for friggin 14 weeks. It was horrible! But even though I've been cleared we've only had sex twice since then because I'm still nervous.

I have been on pelvic rest since week 13!  I think it is getting to me more than DH.  Its awful and I keep thinking that what its going to be a year before we can do it again- horrible thoughts

Good for you! I'm jealous! I'm on pelvic rest until at least 11 weeks. Then before that, nothing during 2ww, or after ER, so were talking the beginning of January here! Aw well, I feel far too barfy to care!

I've not had sex since before Christmas. I hope my restrictions are lifted before my girls come!

Good for you guys!

Pelvic rest was lifted at 7wks, and there have been only a few interludes since then.  Though I have no reason to hold back, It's still hard for me to let the hesitation go.

Good for you.  I have had no desire since getting pregnant.  While we are doing the deed, all I think about is the baby.  I just can't get into it.

I got off pelvic rest after my first ultrasound at 6w4d.  I took me about 4 days to convince dh who decided it was even scarier with twins but we managed.  Sadly I've felt too bad since then and I think dh is thrilled
