1st Trimester

sex in 1st Tri - confessions

alright confess, who's having sex in their first tri and who's too nervous? I'm really nervous to, but I've been worked up for days and wanting DH bad! I was going to wait until my ultrasound on the 26th to check with the doctor first - but I'm having trouble waiting! We were IF so I'm probably a little more irrationally nervous about this pregnancy than others. 
Not preventing since Oct. 2011.
Me: All things check out so far DH: MFI (VERY low sperm count, low motility, low morph)
12/24/12 IUI #1 100mg Clomid = BFN
On IUI #2 100mg Clomid = BFP!!!!!!!!! Beta #1: 31, Beta #2: 100, Beta #3: 210, Beta #4: 570, Saw Heartbeat on 2/26/13!

Re: sex in 1st Tri - confessions

  • My drive is elevated just like last time so sex has continued to be a daily thing in most cases. I just pay attention to my body during. If I start cramping or anything gets uncomfortable we stop or slow down.

  • We have lots of sex! Surprise
  • We've only had sex twice since my bfp (i think). I have no desire right now, plus I had cramping both times after, which made me nervous. For some reason I am way more nervous about this pregnancy sticking, than I was with DD. I guess because this one was planned?!

  • I still want it but hubby is apprehensive.  We had a couple scares with a small sub chorionic bleed and spotting and lower right abdominal pain.  Maybe when it's been a couple boring weeks with nothing going on with me, hubby might come around.  If he doesn't, I'll just jump his bones....

  • I've been having sex. I've had it twice since I found out I was pregnant (which is huge considering we hardly get time alone without our baby). Honestly, sex feels even better than normal right now so I have no problems with it! Don't be scared. Sex is perfectly safe unless your doctor says otherwise.

  • We have had very little sex. I wasn't worried about it at first, but then I started reading how sex can cause some light bleeding from the cervix and I just didn't want to see any blood. Now I'm having some very light brown spotting that's not from sex or constipation so that makes me more nervous, even though the doctor says it's normal. I haven't really had much of a drive anyway.

  • My drive is certainly there. we were doing it regularly, until my doc put me on pelvic rest due to a blood clot beside baby. Hoping to hear that is done with when I go in on Tuesday. It's been a long month!

  • We haven't had sex since I was 5 weeks.  First, I was too sick but then my Dr. told me no sex or exercise because she found a small tear in my uterus.  Hopefully it fixes itself soon.  I feel pretty bad for DH.

  • Not even once! I was too nervous before we met with and talked to our CNM. She said it was fine. But then I tried on my own in hopes it would get me in the mood for later with DH. And I spotted afterwards. Nothing internal, but I still spotted. Too scared to try with DH now. Luckily he is really patient and understanding!

  • When I'm not tired I want it!  We have only had sex twice since the BFP though and that was 2 weeks ago...

  • I have no sex drive what-so-ever either. I am just over 10 weeks pregnant. It's troubling, right? Especially when the man is prodding you to have sex when it's one of the last things on your mind. I do tell him it's because that I'm pregnant even before looking into it. 

    I don't even like to be touched. Sex causes me to cramp, and I enjoy it less which frustrates my man--he thinks that I "hate" him. I just want a lot of comfort. I hope your man understands., because mine doesn't yet.

     

    Good luck! 

     

  • We've done it 3 times since bfp. I just have no desire right now and am a little nervous too. It also helps me that hubby is gone to work 2 weeks at a time. :)

  • I have had two losses in 6 months. I know sex has nothing to do with it, but I just don't want to deal with the spotting or cramping, so we are waiting until I am out of the first tri. 5 more weeks :-)

  • Before the first OB appointment we were very careful, slow and soft. Once I made sure the baby was not anywhere near the cervix, things got a little rougher and so far no issues what so ever. The only cramping I have is muscular because my abs haven't had a workout in a while. lol.

  • We've had sex twice since I got my BFP 3.5 weeks ago.  I'm not nervous about it, but don't really have any sex drive right now.  I didn't have any cramping or spotting either time, so I'm hoping all is well.  I have an US on Friday, so I'm excited to see the heartbeat again!
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • None at all for us.  We've had a previous c/p and I had a good deal of spotting at the beginning of this pregnancy.  I talked to my OB and she said it was fine but that if I started spotting again that we'd need to stop and not have sex for at least a week after the spotting stopped.  Once DH heard that, he just said he would prefer we just wait until 2nd tri because it made him too nervous and I'm not arguing.  Although, now that I'm 11 weeks, my drive is definitely starting to pick up and I've been having some very vivid dreams!  So glad that our NT scan is Thursday because I think we'll be ready to go after that!

  • We had sex like normal until 8 weeks when I had some really horrible cramping after an orgasm. I was in the fetal position crying from the pain. DH refuses to do it until the second tri now bc it was so scary.
  • We're having sex just like normal. Third pregnancy though. First time we were scared at first but once reassured by doctor's we just went for it. lol.
