I wouldn’t worry! My treatment started last year October and I was never up for sex, after injecting that was the last thing I’d want to do, plus feeling bloated etc! Also have attempted sex about 3 times since being pregnant...I honestly wouldn’t worry, don’t stress yourself! At the end of the day it’s a small sacrifice for the men in our life, they have other means of satisfying themselves 🤣! And we have the rest of our lives for that ha xxx

They problem is that I want it but I feel so un attractive and this makes me sort of shy ? Does it make sense ?

Have you spoken to your oh about it? May be you need to have a proper chat to him as he will understand how you feel and make you feel comfortable and you will maybe feel more connected and ready too?? X

Everyone’s sex drive is different during pregnancy. The variation is thought to be due to the hormones circulating but no one knows exactly.

If you feel like having sex, go for it. In terms of not feeling sexy- no quick tips for that I’m afraid. It’s about believing that there is more to sexiness than how you look and that sex with your partner is about intimacy and connection as well as the physical aspect. What really defines sexiness anyway? Try not to let the shyness overcome you and go for it! Or drop some heavy hints to your OH so they initiate something. X

I do not know what this is connected with, but my wife had a very increased sex drive during pregnancy. We were with the doctor and he said that this is normal and the whole thing is to change the harmonies and their quantity. The strange thing is that after pregnancy, my wife’s sexual desire completely disappeared, and this time the doctor did not know what was the reason. We consulted with 4 different doctors and the only advice we got was the use of female Viagra. We decided to try and ordered several packs from apotheekheren.nl/ and it really helped her. But the effect is temporary and we still don’t know how to completely cure it ...
