Am I the only one....no PP sex?

JKTTC1 · January 2012

I still having PP issues from my stage 3 epis. ive been real sore still and feel like there is no opening anymore. I serious think the doc stitched too far! Then there is the issue of hemorrhoids. So im curious to see if anyone else is in my shoes 11 weeks PP. DH is being great understanding.[Poll]

I voted yes we've been busy, but I wouldn't consider twice as busy lol. My issue is that I had the Mirena placed at 6 weeks PP and then the Dr. said no sex for 2 weeks and I have not stopped bleeding since the damn thing was placed. At this point though, I don't even care anymore. I am just gonna go for it haha.

I am on bc but I am supposed to use a back-up for a month so we used a condom and it burned.... killed the mood. We haven't since cause condoms suck!!

We haven't tried yet....*lowers head* I still feel too tired, and don't see WHEN we could! And we only have one child! I don't ever feel in the mood either. I should just buckle down and do it already I guess. I'm a bad bad wife.

. This. We have said, hey let's try it tonight, and then we just end up crashing at night like usual.

I originally didn't want to do it until I got my IUD but I gave in because I felt soo bad for FI since we had pretty much not done it my entire pregnancy. It is still a little painful and uncomfortable but we have done it a couple times a week since 6 weeks PP and it is slowly getting better.

As far as timing, we usually do it during DD's late afternoon/evening nap.

We tried a few wks ago and had a big time fail. I am not sure what stage episiotomy I ended up having, but I know the area still feels super tender. This might be TMI, but it also felt a little tender on the inside. I was pretty upset by the failure. Been too busy to try again, but hope its better next time.

Nope and probably won't happen for a while. Mostly because I feel like a 7 year old about sex these days. (Eww.) Honestly, my sex drive is beyond non-existent.

I had started taking the mini-pill on but DS went on a nursing strike from that day until I stopped the pill a couple days ago. It may be a coincidence, but it seems suspicious to me. I mean, he would act like my boobs were poison during that stretch of time, even when he was sleeping. Then the evening of the day I stopped taking it, he finally latched on again.

I'm going to call my midwives to make sure I'm not totally crazypants, but it looks like at least for now hormonal BC is not going to work. Hence, not really sure I want to chance it with just condoms alone for a while. If one were to break and I got KU ... well ... yeah it's not going to happen for a while. At least MH is being super understanding about all of this.

I have zero libido and the thought of sex is actually repllent to me. I had a c-section so my area still looks the same, it's just my drive is gone. My doc warned me that breast feeding mothers experience low libido. Also, my husband doesn't want me to go on the mini pill since he doesn't want my breastmilk tainted with any chemicals, and the "pull and pray" method doesn't sound too appealing to me.

When I voted "yes" that really means like 3 times since my 6wk check up. The last two weeks have been non-existant though since we've been fighting colds. With one kid, my prefered time of the day was mornings (since I wasn't so exhausted). With two kids, you have to move when the mood strikes. Sometimes we feel like we have to force ourselves to go to bed early, etc. DH has even told me that I can wake him up if I'm awake after nursing and want to fool around. We've even been know to hop in the shower together while DS is watching cartoons.

Sorry to hear you are in pain. If I was in your shoes I'd be in no hurry either.

We have tried 3 times. The first time hurt. I had some major tearing during delivery and an epi...it also hurt on the inside. The 3rd time it almost felt normal but then the baby started crying...fail.

I also have ZERO interest in sex right now. I feel bad for DH but I'm just so exhausted it's the last thing on my mind. And I know it will get worse once I go back to work.

I just had my 6 wk pp exam last monday and have not done the deed yet. DH is very anxious and I'm just not feeling it. The exam hurt and although they said I was healed, the dr mentioned that it appeared I had developed a "skin tab" type thing from the stitches which can be super sensitive. I am not looking forward to sex and am trying to avoid it, but with being snowed in today, its gonna be hard to do. Embarrassed

We've tried twice and were only successful once. I hated it...it hurt, burned and just plan old sucked! He's begging for it but by the time he is ready to go and is in bed with me DS is waking up again. My DH has really bad timing and still hasn't even figured out to get it while the getting is good...I can't wait for him to be "in the mood." (I don't even remember what that feeling is like anymore!) Hopefully I will feel differently soon!

I voted once but failed. Actually once was last night and TMI but as far as we got was literally like a "heads" length... I was way to nervous and it hurt and I was not feeling it and didn't want to at all but I felt so bad... FI has been wanting to for so long now and it has been 7wks... I was good to go via my OB at 4wks... it was so uncomfy and I felt so awkward, plus DD is in our room and was fussing a tiny bit in her sleep. My biggest problem besides the discomfort is the fact that at the time we have zero BC. I haven't gotten Mirena yet (which is our plan, the pill was what I used to use and it was a PITA) and we don't use condoms (I get a yeast infection every single time we use a condom no matter the kind)... even though "pulling out" isn't reliable it's our only form because we can't financially handle another LO so soon after DD, and "pulling out" sucks for me, like seriously sucks for me because FI and I tend to "finish" at the same time and it's amazing, but when he pulls out I'm left hanging and I hate it! I'd rather not have sex then have it and be both uncomfortable and unsatisfied. Jokingly I told him that I'm a re-born virgin until marriage, and that would take 1 1/2 years which would basically be when I would want to TTC again so no BC would be necessary!! Haha he wasn't too impressed with that haha
