Yup, and the longer it is, the more DH thinks about it and talks about it. We have stict instuctions of no BDing so sigh, it will just have to wait.

I completely understand!! After our last IUI I started the estrogen suppositories during the 2ww then I got AF. So, I think that we were right at a month. It seems strange to cut down on BD when you are trying to make a baby!! It is nice when we are not thinking about it and can be intimate without thinking "ok, this is to make a baby".

Yes!! I called the doc to check and make sure it was okay after a week of knowing about the BFP. I got the okay and we tentatively did it- but I was scared the whole time. Now I'm having cramps again so we probably won't do it for a while again. :(

I miss intimacy in another way. We BD all the time but it is like a job. No passion. Nothing just make a deposit and go. Some nights we make it special but a lot nights we do it because it is the "every other day". Why is having a baby so much work!

"Intimacy?" What is that???
I feel the same way. I miss it too. But it is hard when all the hormones mess with how you feel and then you are bloated and uncomfortable. My BF has been very supportive too, but I feel bad. I am sure he feels bad that I have to poke myself, have surgery, live at the doctors and be "crazy lady" from all this though.
But I do miss that special time between us.

YES,YES,YES. Great post. Was just feeling that way. Now I'm in 2ww.

SAME HERE.

i will miss it sooo much when we finally get to IVF in jan,we are still very much newlyweds and BD everyday.it has never become routine through all the TTC.it is going to be very hard not too.i thought the 3 nights we missed for the one IUI cycle was awful.....it's gonna be ugly.

my husband and i pretty much only have sex when it's time to have "baby sex"....that is why we have a "date box" where we put our ideas for fun date night suggestions and we draw one out every friday night so that we do something spontaneous and fun the next night....of course it always leads to spontaneous affection which is the key to why we do it...i suggest it to everyone....some of our ideas have been to just share our thoughts and our love with one another in a card or even one of them was to drive to the edge of our property, turn the radio to love songs and just look at the moon and stars and hold each other.....when i think of intimacy, i think of how good it feels to be loved by my DH. I GOT A GOOD ONE

I hear ya babe...My IVF Dr. doesnt let his patients have sex for 14 weeks! I am only in week 6 and going crazy...

Ladies I have decided this weekend I will take my hello kitty pajamas put them into the closet and put on something my husband will find sexy!!!!! I think we should all find the time and energy to bring the spark back into our lives ( our husbands deserve it for putting up with the daily ttc ritual we follow) And if you are one of those ladies who have been advised by the re not to babydance .. There is another way to please your husband!!! Its time to get frisky ladies

Intimacy?? What is that?? I know all about "let's make a baby sex" but is there another kind? It has been so long, I just can't recall.
:) ET is tomorrow and prego test on the 14th, so none of that intimacy stuff or baby sex until then. My husband says the doctor gets to touch me more than he does! Sad thing is, and I know you can all relate, it is true. The doctor gets more action than my husband. LOL

I totally feel your pain. More TMI, but now I'm on progesterone vaginal pills twice a day. Ew gross! It makes me not want to be intimate. The lack is making me snappy. >:O

This is a side note. Infertility treatments must make you lose your shame. I swear I'll say anything to anyone. And it feels like I've had 800 people staring into my crotch. I practically strip with the door open at the RE's office. I wish I had my dignity back

LOLOLOLOL. Maybe I shouldn't laugh. Maybe this is sad... aw who cares!

My doctor said no vaginal penetration until we have a strong heartbeat (around 7-8 weeks). Now, my DH is very supportive and willing to wait till whenever. However, (TMI) I've been feeling in the mood and can't seem to shake it.

I'm concerned that once the doctor says- "go for it," I will be scared that something will happen like m/c.

I'm with you! Take care and blessings to all.

omg do i hear you. first i had my surgery so u know who can do anything and when i started to feel better i started meds again so u know who wants to. i dont even remember the last time we were together. its so sad.
