Heyy my lovely ladies

Hope you are all doing well! Just wondered something , a bit of a sensitive question but we can talk about everything here isnt it?💕🙈 How long after FET have you resumed intercourse 🤣🙈🙈🙈 I feel embarrassed to ask doc hahaha and google says 2-3 weeks after transfer. I just wondered how long did you all wait?

I think it was safe kind of after the 2 week mark. If you want to really play it safe then after the 6 week scan but I think we did around after 3 weeks. I can tell you, after a baby it’s way longer 🤣🤣🤣🤣still haven’t!

🤣 so true 😂

Hey lovely! How did you get on with repeat bloods? Well I am assuming 🤞😀 We ended up waiting until our 6 weeks scan. I hadn't planned to but my anxiety went a bit haywire so I figured why risk it (altho not sure there really is a risk).. anyway we cracked on after 6 weeks but ironically by 8 weeks I felt so sick there was another sex ban 😱😂 So I think its safe to say its likely to be a bit on and off for the next few months 😘

Thats the thing, everywhere there are different opinions. Its safe, its bit safe, maybe its safe 🤣 nobody actually knows 🙈

I just remembered that when we did have sex I always had bleeding/spotting afterwards, I am pretty sure it was from my cervix but it just added to the anxiety which is another reason why we stopped again xx

We literally didn’t have sex once during my entire pregnancy with my son 😂🙈 I was too sick and then too paranoid, and then too huge 🤪

My clinic’s line is you’re fine after the 2WW is up though which is probably more realistic for most people!

Klndmr in reply to Solly-44

It does sound realistic but with all contradictive opinions its so difficult yo decide whats safe and whats not 🙈🙈🙈🙈 and with the anxiety infertility causes it makes things even harder 🙈

you can absolutely ask anything here. Honestly We have waited sooo long to get to this point I just fear it will annoy the cervix or something he’s just gonna have to sort himself out for a while 😂😂😂

I got told not to have sex by clinic in the 2ww. I didnt actually ask past that but once we got a positive we were terrified. Further down the line we were in thr mood but i had a little bleed so stopped then again next time the same thing happened so that was it. Its different for everyone so go with how you feel.xx

Oooh a very good question to ask. Thankfully (or not) my partner got covid 3 days after my otd and my bfp I'm now 5+3 and in a hotel enjoying the silence. I think I will continue pelvic rest for the first trimester and once we get the all clear then we'll see! I have an ectro my cervix which can cause me to bleed after the deed so I think for know for my own sanity Its a no from me! Xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmr in reply to Runninglady87

I think ill do the same, after the responses I think best is to wait definitely ❤️

Congratulations on your BFP and enjoy the hotel stay and hhooe your partner gets better soon. ☺️☺️☺️

I didn’t even have full intercourse with my husband but I had some spotting afterwards and the cycle ended in a chemical. I genuinely don’t think this was the reason alone but I couldn’t help but beat myself afterwards 🤦🏻‍♀️ You don’t want to go through the same, trust me! Nothing’s worth it xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmr in reply to Nenad

That's another thing that makes me wonder. Cause if God forbid anything happens ill definitely be beating myself up ❤️💞💕

Nenad in reply to Klndmr

the general advice is to wait until the first viability scan, which I didn’t know until it was too late lol. IVF is such a delicate process, everything is calculated. Wishing you all the best, you deserve it xxx

hey how’s it going 🥰 I think you can have sex but any time I did I was bleeding after it due to a sensitive cervix so it put me off doing it for a while but it’s up to you be I would ask anyway because everyone is different they might want u to wait it out a while I’m so happy for u hope everything goes well keeping everything crossed 🥰cx

Klndmr in reply to Cmc2020

All good for now let's see, ive got to see doc on Friday so fingers crossed everything will be fine.

I might put sexsex out of the table for a while, is anything happens ill probably freak out 🙈🙈🙈🙈 and with all thr anxiety we go through with IVF thats the last thinthing we need ☺️

We had sex the day after transfer with both my successful transfers and continued throughout the 2ww. My clinic says there isn't any good evidence for abstaining and the main risk is infection so if you're worried about that use protection. Really a personal choice.

We were told no bathing nor sex for 3 days after transfer.

Ah IVF, the killer of romance. We didn’t wait long. Only a few days after BFP I think and everything’s been fine. I did have cramping after the big O which freaked me out a bit, but it’s apparently pretty common in the first trimester. Enjoy!x

lol!! You’d think no one would ask the question. We haven’t really had sex since transfer and I’m nearly 34 weeks. I have had a friend who had sex before 12 week scan and unfortunately she has a miscarriage and started bleeding after with huge clots. This obviously wasn’t the reason why she did but I was just scared that I didn’t mind putting sex on hold as having a baby was the most important thing for me and if anything did happen I had nothing to blame myself for especially in the first trimester :)

Klndmr in reply to Sarakht

Yeap exactly my thoughts too. Obviously hormones are goung crazy 🙈🙈🙈 I think ill stay away too, asas you said having a baby is the most important thing right now ❤️❤️❤️

so reassuring to read this thread. I’m 19 weeks and we’ve not had sex. Between some early bleeding and then projectile vomiting… not been on the cards. But strangely feel closer than ever…

I think there’s an awful lot of pressure. Even my app keeps telling me right now I should be feeling frisky!

It’s just so stressful and worrying post ivf pleased lots in same boat and will now give myself a break! Xx

Klndmr profile image
Klndmr in reply to Albs171

Definitely lots in the same boat. I wasn't sure if I should ask on here but then I thought maybe lots of women feel the same way as me. I think ill keep myself away from it too for now 🙈❤️💕
