Your sex life

KJKNAJ · August 2015

Ok, be honest here! How is your sex life since your bfp?

Mine is non-existent which is hard on DH but he's not interested anyway. Bc there's about a 80% chance I'd vomit. He's patiently waiting until I feel better, hopefully just a week or two now.

Ours is meh. I concede sometimes when I'd rather just sleep. About the same amount as before but I'm not quite enjoying it as much due to exhaustion and nausea.

But I will say after TTC for so long, it's nice to not have to be methodical about doing the deed!

blueeyedrose86 · August 2015

We have had sex twice since getting pregnant, once since the BFP. I am so not interested, but the one time we had sex we were falling asleep and I started having sexy dreams. I woke him up to have sex. It was hot, but my sex drive has since gone back to nil.

maelic · August 2015

What sex life? I feel like a hungover slug these days.

fwtx5815 · August 2015

We're still in the blissful newlywed period so we still have the desire to get it on all the time, but between the pregnancy fatigue and my H's 12-14 hr work days, we aren't actually doing it as often as we want to be.

mommygrams0730 · August 2015

Around 1x a week because I'm not initiating anything. I do have the all clear from my dr, but after being diagnosed with an SCH I make DH be very gentle and careful. Still enjoyable, but much slower/gentler than usual.

We'll see how everything goes after my next appt in 3 weeks.

Non existent

lightrox · August 2015

We've only done it once but I started spotting afterward so I said no more until 2nd trimester or at least until my next ultrasound at 9 weeks so I can see that everything is okay. I'm just paranoid like that but before our BFP we did it all the time sometimes multiple times a day. My poor hubby is suffering right now but he understands and hasn't made me feel bad about it.

parenthood4 · August 2015

I'm on pelvic rest, so nada. But we usually only have sex a couple of times during first trimester. I just can't handle it with the nausea.

sasserjanet · August 2015

Close to nothing, my poor husband is dying. He is used to at least 3-5x week and we are down to 1x a week if he's lucky. I'm just so exhausted and really not in the mood. The one time we did do it I was so tired the next day at work I told him no more of that until I get at least 2 days off after to catch up on rest

DanniNChris · August 2015

Yep none only because I don't feel like it & DH is very understanding

SquirrelGiggles83 · August 2015

We were doing it more often - it's like he was so happy that his sperm worked, he wanted to use them. Lol. I have hardly been nauseated at all, so that's helped.
However, I'm on pelvic rest for at least a week due to some bleeding - DH was disappointed and joked that it wasn't fair.

skruhmin · August 2015

Every 3-4 days. It usually takes the nausea away so that's nice.

Margo97 · August 2015

I'm 9w and we've had sex once--it was the first night I wasn't cramping and I was great 3am sex ☺️ but then was super-crampy next day so I'm a bit gun shy now. I'm not gonna push it. He was worried also after - "I hope they're ok". lol.

KMKaiser07 · August 2015

Ours is non existent. I am either in bed hours before dh or I feel awful. It also doesn't help that I have zero sex drive whatsoever.

thecubiclee · August 2015

Non existent and it's killing my husband. I'm just not really interested right now, mostly because my stomach has been upset due to constipation. So I'd say sex happens around once a week, if that.

kfarr26 · August 2015

Honestly, nothing since finding out we're expecting. I had a miscarriage in April, and even though I know it should be fine unless there's reason for pelvic rest, I'm just too nervous until I make it to the second trimester. I'm also so not interested...at all. My husband is just going to have to make it another month on the stuff I'm still willing/able to do for him.

allstarangel · August 2015

Ohh my goodness, am i the only one with the constant almost everyday sex? We've been doing it the same amount we have since before conception.. DH and i just cant seem to get enough of eachother 8-> though i do feel a little luckier cause im not really getting any of that morning sickness or nausea or any thing like that. But i do hope y'all start to feel better with all your symptoms and hopefully you get to hop on that horse soon..

venesssaa · August 2015

Mine is still normal. Several times a week. Hope it stays the same.

venesssaa · August 2015

Same here. If anything more because DH is like so happy to be having a baby after trying 6 years.

kmorin523 · August 2015

Our is actually not bad. Usually a couple times during the weekend and then a couple during the week if we aren't exhausted from work and college papers. I feel like shit before but I feel a lot better after actually. I don't want to at first but know I'll love after a few minutes. The bfp actually didn't change our sex life. Lucky I guess.

bntfroggie · August 2015

Maybe 1-2 times a week. I created a monster in DH trying to get pregnant that I think I increased his sex drive ha ha

CCLow87 · August 2015

Every night? Or at a minimum every other night. Sometimes twice a day??? I feel all alone on this.

nightingale1977 · August 2015

No real change for us, almost everyday, maybe slightly less because I'm feeling so tired

lexievelyn8179 · August 2015

Ours is pretty much non-existant. It's been maybe once every week and a half after a LOT of begging from DH.

kristakayyye · August 2015

Ours is great! My sex drive has seemed to increase

Starbuck77 · August 2015

What's sex? I've forgotten it's been so long

skruhmin · August 2015

jennn87 said:

My sex drive has decreased... significantly. My DH is pretty sad about it too. I have to remind him that I'm just feeling gross (bloated, gassy, nauseous). The last thing I want to do is push him away, so I am going to make an effort to initiate intimacy even if I'm not feeling it.

We are leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow and will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so I need to start feeling sexier! Otherwise our honeymoon will be no fun.

Shower sex - showers help me feel so much better when I'm feeling pregnancy gross. Plus the hotness of showers, yeah baby!

katekat8721 · August 2015

I've been on pelvic rest since I got pregnant. We still DTD a few times because I just couldn't help it. Now the nausea/vomiting is really bad though

I hope to get feeling better in a few weeks (and officially off pelvic rest!)

Kpetri55 · August 2015

We've done it twice in 7 weeks (I'm 9weeks along) one time is super hot! And the last time it kind of hurt and was uncomfortable...

labacker · August 2015

I feel better seeing so many others saying your sex life is gone. It doesn't help that we had a MC in April and in addition to that I have to stick a progesterone pill in my vagina before bed every night and that grosses out DH. Poor guy won't know what hit him in the delivery room. Hoping to get back to normal after our next u/s next Friday. (7ish weeks)

chime · August 2015

Absolutely non-existent. I know it's generally safe and spotting afterwards would be normal but after a MC in March, neither of us are willing to risk it. We have our first scan Monday and I think/hope seeing a heartbeat will help ease our worries. I personally don't find myself missing it at all right now. My husband is a super trooper and isn't putting any pressure on me.

PinkSunglasses16 · August 2015

MAYBE 1x a week but thats pushing it. In all honesty IF the mood strikes me its seems to be when hes not around so i take matters into my own hands (pun intended). He has been complaining but between the nausea and the exhaustion its not happeing.

This exactly

mrssburnison · August 2015

I honestly am not sure if we've had sex since the bfp. I've been spotting and scared to. Plus I'm so damn tired two kids and a pregnancy will wear you out.

aimhop · August 2015

We've had sex once since finding out we're expecting. We were fearful after 2 miscarriages last year.. I would have spotting and cramping after sex before, so we were afraid of that again. But so far so good! We've been intimate other times, but sex only once. I'm using progesterone vaginal suppositories twice a day.. So that makes wanting to do the deed a little less desirable.
Here's to the 2nd trimester! Once the suppositories are finished and the fear of miscarriage lessens, I hope we're getting it on a lot more
