Sex after BFP?

Sarah226 · February 2012

Hi ladies. I have yet to post an intro over here b/c I guess I'm just nervous to "jinx" anthing before the u/s, but I have a question for you all. When did you have sex again after your BFP? Our clinic's rules are after the 3rd beta, assuming you don't have any bleeding or cramping. I have the occasional crampy feeling (like AF is coming) that I've been having since ET, but other than that all clear. I'm still nervous to have sex, though, for some reason. DH is climbing the walls!

So, what do you guys think? Am I being overly cautious or should I continue to wait? When did you feel comfortable having sex again?

We were both too nervous in first tri -- I think we broke down and did it twice the whole time -- first time was about a week after bfp, second time wasn't until about a month after that. I was lucky to not have any cramping or spotting in 1st Tri, though. If I had, there's no way I would have let him anywhere near me! LOL

I was on pelvic rest until 12w due to enlarged ovaries. But I will be honest, we still haven't had sex. Not sure if I will be able to or not. Luckily dh is totally okay with it so far.

I was on pelvic rest from ER until 21 weeks. We have done it 3 times since then and not in over a month ~ honestly pretty sure we are done until 6 weeks after the birth. I found it really uncomfy and didn't enjoy any part of it. DH has stopped complaining I think they get over it eventually ~ sorry honey. GL with your decision.

We were given the ok to have sex after our first u/s, which was between 7 and 8 weeks. I think we would have been too nervous to have sex before that anyway, to be honest with you! I haven't been in the mood very often the whole pregnancy, but DH is great with it - he pretty much leaves it up to me.

We had sex at almost 7 weeks and have not done it since then. DH is to nervous.

We had sex at almost 7 weeks (after 2nd ultrasound) and have not done it since then. DH is to nervous.

I was way too nervous and didn't do it until 10 weeks...and even then I kinda freaked out. We have literally done it twice...and I don't really plan on it for a while lol

We haven't done anything since a couple of days before the ER; we are now at 6 weeks. We were told it may not be safe since my ovaries are still swollen. You should wait until your're competely comfortable...

We've been given the Ok to go ahead, but both DH and I have been too scared to try. Maybe after the 8 week ultrasound.

My RE had strict rules of no sex until we saw a heartbeat. But of course we've been too scared to do much of anything!

We started again the day of my ET, as my dr said the contractions from my O would be good to help pull the embryo's in and implant. We have never stoped, and still do it 3-4 times a week....

(i have a bit of a big libido, and being pregnant, its so much worse! My hubby is trying to keep up!)

Um...still waiting to feel comfortable enough...LOL!!! GL to you though!

The RE gave us the ok around week 7. It was after we saw the heartbeat. DH was climbing anxious too, yet nervous about the baby. It was really cute.

Also, don't be alarmed if you have some spotting afterwards. Your cervix is extra sensitive. I didn't experience this, but my friend did and warned me. That way you don't have to worry.

We weren't under any restrictions, but we waited until 16 weeks to go for it. I don't know if we'll do it again....DH was sooo nervous, and I was NOT feeling sexy.

tarajayne · February 2012

We have yet to! I was on pelvic rest also and even after we were given the ok we were both still nervous, plus I was so sick all the time so that didn't really help. Now I'm so huge that I'm just afraid it will be awkward and I have a lot of pelvic/tailbone pain so I'm pretty sure it won't feel good!
