Re: CPW - S-E-X
Alright so I'll share because I have no shame and my answer is kind of SS--I chose the first option. And when I say 'right away' I mean literally five minutes after showing MH the pee stick we were getting it on...it's the first reaction he had, apparently, lol.
After that, PgAL mind set in (and so did the nausea...) and I don't think we "did it" again until close to second tri.
I'll be the first to out myself...
We haven't done it since the FW. Which happened to be the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I was on pelvic rest for about a week from my SCH, but other than that I've just been too barfy (especially at night) and my progesterone suppositories make my vag feel anything but sexy.
My brain is obviously thinking about it though, because last night I had a sex dream about Frodo Baggins. Not Elijah Wood, but Frodo Baggins with big feet and all. Let me tell you this thought has NEVER crossed my mind during waking hours. WTF pregnancy dreams?
I'm having bizarre dreams too, but I wonder if it's a combination of thirsty/need-to-pee/progesterone that's doing it.
I've had these dreams too! People that would have NEVER crossed my mind while awake are showing up in dreams. Then I have to wake up and tell DH because it is so odd!

Pregnancy doesn't really change my sex drive, I still want it on a regular basis and very rarely turn DH down if he wants it (only of I'm not feeling well or overly tired even than I try to make it work). During the first few months I was quite sick so we would DD on my better days but it was still probably as often as it normally would be when we weren't FWP. Now it's getting a bit more tricky as I get bigger but we make it work.
Last time I think we didn't DD as often but we weren't doing it as much before the BFP so that's probably why. It did get to the point where it was quite uncomfortable to the point of being a little painful at the end last time so I'm hoping that doesn't happen again this time. Tho last time that happened after we had gone a while without DD so that may be why.
Haha I almost spit out my water picturing Frodo and his feet.
I'm pretty much right there with you. We haven't DTD since my BFP. First, because I was scared. Then, I had the progesterone suppositories. Then I had an SCH and was put on pelvic rest. I know we're supposed to be past that now, but I'm still really nervous. Maybe I'll get more comfortable as time progresses? I am missing it big time, though. We used to be on the 3-4 times per week plan. I've tried to be creative in making sure DH doesn't miss the actual S-E-X act too much.

I know we had sex very early in the 1st trimester, maybe around 5 weeks. I think maybe we did once more? But maybe not. Once the queasiness and tiredness kicked in I know we didn't.
Now I am more scared than anything because this is the time when we had our previous loss.
I actually told my OB about my fear at our last appt. and she pretty much said hopefully the fear will get better after we pass our loss milestone. I hope so too. Luckily I feel like my sex drive is definitely lower during pregnancy (where are those sexy 2nd trimester feelings the books all talk about??) so going without is not really that big of an issue.
