so FTM here and 15 weeks and 4 days here. DH and I got pregnant thru IVF. Now I don't know if it's the same with every fertility clinic but mine said no sex after egg transfers until the BFP. So we followed instructions and did not do anything. We finally got the BFP and we were so excited but I was still afraid to have sex. I told myself and DH that we will wait until the first ultrasound. Well we had the first ultrasound thru the fertility clinic 3 weeks after the BFP. We just saw the sac and a flicker of a heartbeat. I still didn't feel comfortable with the idea of sex bc I felt like that will cause issues with the baby sticking so again we waited. Well I got released to my regular OB early bc of issues with high bp. At my first appointment with my regular OB we did another ultrasound and they found a SCH so again we didn't do anything to avoid any issues. A couple of weeks later we had our appointment with the genetics dr for the materniT 21 test and while there we had another ultrasound. Everything looked great and they didn't see any issues at that time. I think by this point I've gotten in my head I just didn't want to do anything to hurt the baby. Now you have to understand it took us over 13 years to finally get pregnant and I am doing everything possible to make sure this baby sticks. So we got to the first trimester and I thought "ok so we should be fine now bc we are out of the danger zone". By this point DH has been really oblivious to my advances. I guess I wasn't being obvious enough. After a little while of practically begging for it we finally did it. It was GLORIOUS! Sex has never felt so good I guess bc of all hormones. It felt like it had been years! Never will I ever wait that long again. Anyways I thought I would share that I finally got some lol.

I TOTALLY get it! I'm an IVFer as well and we kept setting restrictions for ourselves and saying, "well when this milestone comes we'll feel better about BD," and it never did. We waited until the progesterone stopped and there were no ill effects from that to finally say "let's do it!" And after what does seem like years of abstinence it WAS amazing! Congrats

Edit: because I get how to use words

I agree! With my first pregnancy, I was on pelvic rest for 24 weeks due to complications! Week 25 sex was AMAZING!!!! And everything after that too!!! This pregnancy was only week 5-11 which felt like forever and sex was so great after that too!!!

We have not been abstaining, but my orgasms have been better than I've ever had in my life.

I'm excited that you finally are enjoying sex again! Congrats on the long awaited pregnancy!

I've got a SCH and am currently plecenta previa (14w3d) and haven't gotten any in weeks because I bleed after...things have been blood free for at least 2 weeks, and I'm getting an ultrasound on the 31st to see if we are all in the clear...and then I randomly bled this past friday!

SO I'M HAVING A HARD TIME BEING HAPPY FOR YOU!!

I joke. I'm just JEALOUS. and horny. And disappointed as hell to see new blood.

I'm sorry about the placenta previa. I have read it does happen early but can resolve itself. Hopefully your ultrasound on tune 31st brings you good news about that.

I don't know how women handle seeing blood during pregnancy. I would totally panic and call my doctor constantly! That is a big fear of mine that I would wake up one morning and just have blood everywhere:(

What helps is reading all the other woman who are bleeding, but all the babies (almost all the time) are fine. It helps keep me from hyperventilating. It is NOT ideal. I want an issue free pregnancy where im riding my bike like every other summer aND digging in my garden and having all the sex. Seeing blood makes me glad I have a comfortable couch, cuz I've earned an Olympic Gold in sitting on my ass these last 2 months.

Enjoy your sex. Le sigh.
