Sex Poll

  Is it sad for me to say that we probably had way more sex when we were ttc?  Now I'm just too tired and don't have the same motivation. I think things will get better once the baby starts sleeping through the night though and isn't still in our room.
  

  Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

  Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  Oh it's been bad since I went back to work.  I'm just so tired all the time!  And E has been a terrible sleeper for the past 6 weeks.  We're lucky to hit once a week now, whereas we used to be every other day kinda people.  But this is due to a newborn, not really IF related.  Other than having to abstain during certain points of the cycle, and a really bad depression period after my m/c, it was much better before and during IF than it is now.

  TTC with PCOS since November 2009
  

  IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c
  IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN
  IUI#3 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP!
  beta #1 11/23 = 270, P4 = 75
  beta #2 11/28 = 2055
  Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012!
  Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!

  Right now the pregnancy hormones have kicked things up into a higher gear. But before this pregnancy we had gotten back to where we were before IF and before having a baby. It did take a little time though.

  
  Unexplained Infertility
  
  After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
  
  
  
  TTC #2
  After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
  
  

  
  
  

  Surprise! Baby #4 is due in March!

  IF and 4 1/2 years of having sex on a timed schedule has ruined our sex life. We are slowly getting back into the hang of things.

  I think having a baby puts a dent on it more than IF/TTC.

  We probably have sex once a week...usually on the weekend.

  2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8

  We are TTC on our own right now so we put forth a great effort around ovulation time & I am pretty much done after that, I look forward to the day that DH & I can put IF behind us & enjoy sex for sex & not baby making, or in my case not baby making!

  This for us too. Trying to shred ole it in after the baby goes to sleep is difficult. Especially since my baby is now a toddler. While bfing it was super uncomfortable for me but it has improved since stopping.

  Before pregnancy about once a week. Once I got pregnant I was on pelvic rest for 6 months. I think we had sx 4 times the whole nine months. Ugh! Once the six week post birth is over I am hoping to getting back into the swing.

  Sex hasn't been happening much here... we're both exhausted and I just really don't have a desire for it.  Sounds so bad, but I think I'm just tired.  It's great once it does happen, but I'm not initiating much around here!!  So there was a lot more sex before IF because we were TTC.

  Sex?  What's sex? 

  Thanks to my 4th degree tear that has yet to heal properly I try to avoid sex unless I think I'm ovulating

  Sex what is that?  I think I can count on my fingers the number of times we have had sex since DS was born.  Maybe like 8 times in 3 months?  Dh wishes we had it more but I just don't feel into it.  WHen we have it at night all I can think of is that DS will be waking up in a few hours and that I should be sleeping.  We had sex alot more before ttc and for that matter while ttc.  Our sex life has taken a major nose dive since getting pregnant and having DS

  Ditto on the "what's sex?" comments. Thinking of sex as a chore during the time we were TTC, and then finding out that making babies that way wasn't in the cards for us put a serious damper on our sex life. When I am not pregnant, I can usually get into it after a few glasses of wine, but we hardly ever do it these days. I am waiting for the pregnancy hormones to kick in so I can throw DH a bone, but that never happened with DS. He may be out of luck again. Poor guy.

  This.  Lately we have upped it to twice a week, but truthfully once a week would probably be fine with me.  Although its getting a little better, the BF has made it uncomfortable for me and I miss the way it was pre-baby.
