Partner’s question... wait for it...

Staying_positive38 profile image

Hi everyone, hope your Mondays were a good start to your week.

I had my pre FSH scan today and finally, after 9 months in the system I’ve had the go-ahead to start meds. I have my first injection tonight... slightly nervous but want to get it over with and then watch yesterday’s Strictly results 😃

Question from my partner... is it ok to have sex whilst on the stimms? 🙄

Thanks - have a good evening xx

It is but my clinic advise using protection 😊 xxx

Agreed with wemma, seems weird that during the clinical process of trying to have a baby that you have to use protection, but that is the case. Also, be careful not to havevrelations too close to collection / transfer - you don't want spermicide anywhere near those times. X

Thanks both. Not sure I’ll be feeling like it anyway, but at least I can tell him I asked the question. Xx

You can, but if you are anything like me, you won't want to after a day or two into stims! I was so uncomfortable and bloated with my injections, my tummy was so swollen it was not a turn on! So get it in early, would be my advice... 😉
