TTC after 35

For the ladies on medicated cycles

I'm am on CD 12 we are doing IUI #2 this week (or that's the plan) so I am on 50 of gonal-f daily after 5 days of letrozole. Things are looking good, 4 developing follicles total. That's the back story...the reason for the post is this. We have to stop BD 3-5 days prior to IUI per my RE, so yesterday was our last BD till post IUI. Either it's the meds or the knowledge that we can't have sex but I get crazy frisky the closer we get to IUI. DH calls it HHH (hopped up on hormones horny) it's really bad, I feel twitchy in my own skin and have crazy sex dreams (thanks Mark Wahlberg for this mornings amazing session!) does anyone else get these effects?

  • This made me laugh a little :) I think if I had my choice for dreams right now I would go with Bradley Cooper. I definitely think around my O time I am more interested in the BD so I think it naturally happens, just amplified with the extra hormones? I'll let you know because I'll be on similar meds at the end of this month.

  • You guys crack me up!  RE's are all so different.  We were "prescribed" sex either 2 or 3 nights prior.  We got it in 2 nights prior (36 hours before IUI).  Luckily my hubby's count was awesome anyway.  I do find I'm more interested around "O" time though.

  • I needed this post tonight... I literally Laughed Out Loud.  I am anticipating medicated cycles after RE on the 15th... and boy will I be in trouble.  My sex drive is already higher than DH (decreased sex drive is yet another symptom of menopause I DO NOT have... ) so I will really be in trouble if I'm HHH and can't "take care of that". 
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  • vh2014, my sex drive is uber high too so this makes it crazy. DH asks "where is your toy?!?" It's just not the same, sigh.

  • fun - i opened this expecting a technical question regarding medications. Gave me a much needed smile tonight :)

    I have only done one IUI, but we just abstained for 48 hours prior. Didn't want to do any longer in case i ovulated early we wanted to make sure we had some swimmers in there.

  • OMG this thread is funny! Thanks for sharing the yummy pic @hooligans4! I shall sleep good tonight..lol!

    I've had a high sex drive up until the last couple IUI's (I've had 5 or 6). Now, not so much. Think it is stress related more than anything. Our RE also has us abstain for 48 hours prior to IUI.
  • @waterbaby318‌ I was so in love with Mark Walburg when he was Marky Mark! I had the biggest crush!

    This thread is amazing, except for the fact that I now am picturing what the remainder of that picture of Adam Levine looks like and I'm not allowed to have uterine contractions right now. Lol. Sigh....
