Now of course, I'm not allowed to until our 20 week check, if even then. But even before that ban at 8 weeks, it wasn't happening between the nerves and the morning sickness.
Dry spell here too. Between nerves and feeling completely blah, DH has been a little neglected. I caved the other night because I just felt so bad for him, but it had been weeks!
We had sex for the first time since FWP on Sunday night. I was hesitant after my BFP because of nerves. It wasn't bad and no ill side effects (spotting, cramping) but I just haven't been in the mood.

You are certainly not alone! I started out trying to get myself in the mood but now I am 26 weeks and I have absolutely NO desire. Luckily DH is scared something will happen (no matter how many times I try to reassure him) so at least he's not in the mood either. I do feel sorry for the guy though!

I'm going to go with it's definitely not uncommon...we had sex twice in my whole first trimester, and then I got put on pelvic rest right after for partial placenta previa, and then just got released from that 2 weeks ago, and we've only had sex once since then. So yeah, 3 times total since I've gotten pregnant.
Oh thank god...I started feeling bad like something was wrong with me and my relationship was in jeopardy! Thanks ladies for sharing, I feel much more "normal" now. DH has been totally supportive and not pressuring me at all, but I still felt bad about it.

We've done it twice the whole pregnancy. I was uncomfortable and he wasn't into it. I am forcing him into it now though - this kid needs to vacate and the best way to get her out is the same way she got in!
Same in our bedroom! I have m/s in the evening, so there is no way either one of us is in the mood for BDing! Hoping in a few weeks, the m/s will taper off!
I told DH we won?t be doing it until I?m at least out of the first tri (praying I make it that far!) Then we?ll see how I?m feeling and how the baby is doing and go from there.

28w 4d here and in the midst of a dry spell ourselves. Like a pp poster I was into it with my last pregnancy but this time around I am just blah. When I work at it and really make myself get into it I enjoy myself, but I am too damn tired and I feel like crap most of the time so BDing is the last thing on my mind.
Re: I'm going to assume "dry spells" are not uncommon in 1st Tri...
We've got a dry spell here too. I can deal with my changing body, but I have just felt so tired and full of m/s that I have no desire.
Missed m/c 11.09 | Missed m/c 3.10 | We miss you & love you so.

Haven't had sex since we concieved.
Now of course, I'm not allowed to until our 20 week check, if even then. But even before that ban at 8 weeks, it wasn't happening between the nerves and the morning sickness.
I was on pelvic rest until 12 weeks, then again from 16-19 weeks...so, very dry.

This exactly.
I don't think DH and I had sex at all during the first tri. We've only done it a couple times since then, too.
