BDing while sick?

ttuprincess

So I have been sick with the worst head cold for the past week.  It has not been pretty -- snotty, coughing, sneezing, etc.  I haven't wanted to waste this cycle so I have felt like Monica from friends when she was trying to get Chandler to have sex with her when she was sick.   

 

 

How do you deal with being sick and not wanting to waste a cycle?  Power through?

I always powered through, never wanted to waste a cycle.  It wasn't the most fun, but I sucked it up . Hope you feel better soon!

LOL!!!! DH and I were talking about this the other day! He got home from work SUPER late the other day (O-1); I mean, I'm talking about 130 AM or so (he works the 3PM-1130PM shift as a chief engineer for a hotel). I woke up looking a hot-mess, and 'seduced' him. We still BDed. I don't even remember how. The next morning I woke up sad that we hadn't and he laughed at the fact that I didn't remember. It's totally engrained in us at this point, I suppose!

My DH works the same shift. I don't think I even completely wake up some times! Haha

I power through best I can. Take one for the team lol. Although my DH and I had a 4day break recently, poor guy had sinusitis pretty bad, he could barely breathe, the doc had to give him an inhaler. I'd didn't have the heart to cause him an asthmaticlike attack. If we don't get a BFP this cycle, I'm gonna need him around for the next cycle! Lol
I hope you feel better soon! Good luck this cycle!

Oh yikes, I've been there! Like many of the ladies said, I've been so desperate not to waste valuable BD time that I'd probably need to be hospitalized before I'd take a break! Poor DH has been deathly ill in the past and I've had to motivate him to "play through the pain" lol. He's not as receptive to that. He has this crazy idea that sex should always be fun and enjoyable or something.

Ha ha.  I am all about pushing through but it is harder to convince DH to get in a sexy mood when I'm all snotty and gross.  We made the best of it though.

glad you got through it. I felt like total sh*t this past cycle from the O pains and the last thing I wanted to do was have sex. I almost cried when the doctor told us to have TI the night of our IUI. But we powered through. 

BTW, love that episode of Friends!!

Oh I would SO power through that sickness!  I know in the end I would be pissed that I wasted a cycle because I was sick, so I say push through and do it to it!
