Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[aidensmommy1]

The contractions you feel from orgasm are different than the ones for labor (according to my doc). In fact they are actually good for you during pregnancy as they help tone the muscles and the tightness in the womb is like a massage for the baby.

This is what I was told, as well, except after IVF. I know there's something they worry about with orgasms during IVF but not sure what. I'll get us all a "professional" answer from my IVF specialist as to why they direct women to not have sex or even an orgasm. I was really sad to learn about no orgasms until after confirmed pregnancy! It'll be MORE than worth it tho, as long as this ends as hoped! I'm just so glad I have good quality frosties incase this doesn't work how we expect. I'm still keeping my hopes high! FX!

And the contractions from orgasms are DEF different than labor! And its usually A-okay to BD, esp later in pregnancy. But for some pregnant women, it can be quite uncomfortable :-\. For me when I was preggers with Aiden, I LOVED to DTD and hope I feel the same this time! LoL. Maybe with IVF they just worry about the embryo implanting successfully if the uterus starts contracting from an orgasm..? I'll get the answer as to why My doc recommends this.

How was ur Mothers day, Jess?

As I'm reading my posts, I've been having to edit some sort of typo ALL a.m! Lol. I can't type today :-\

I think sex after ivf is more of a concern that they may not have retrieved every egg you have and there is a possibility of them being released and fertilized.

My Mother's Day wasn't the best. My husband slept until noon and then went to playing video games until he left for work at 1:45.... Only said happy Mother's Day to me because I was crying. I then spent the night alone cleaning and watching tv. If he gets up in the near future we are supposed to go to my moms today for a bit, but he has to be to work at 2 again and it's already 10.

Oh my mary, that sucks! It will Def be worth the wait, but I know that any time dh had to give a sample, we would have to restrain from sex, and I think it makes it worse when your told not too! Lol! It seemed that it was always very hard to keep my hands off of him when it was against the rules!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I agree with Chelsea! It's like telling me not to push a button! As soon as you leave I'm going to want to push that damn button

Hey Ladies

I wanted to ask you all something. Is it possible for me to be experiencing early pregnancy symptoms?? Because for the past day or two I've been very easily irritated, moody and getting down easy. Plus my nipples are starting to look bigger!! They are very!! sensitive and sore to touch. Sometimes can feel it without touching them! They itch today too.. sorry tmi

Also my CM has changed today.. sorry tmi again

My HCG injection was CD 13 so 6 days ago now.

 

[froggyfrog]

Sarah, it could very possibly be the hcg injection that gives you pg symptoms. I know that when I did mine I had some symptoms. Excessive thirst, fatigue, and mood swings. But fx it is just from having a lo settle in that causing everything!

 

[SarahLou372]

I'm hoping so because its almost a week since I had my injection.

Just my nipples are so itchy and sore

When I went to the bathroom there was a like a blob of white creamy cm on tissue sorry tmi So hoping that's a good thing too.

So with all of this ivf excitement going on with you mary, you have swayed dh and I to apply for an ivf grant! I found a very hood non profit that gives two grants a year, the next one is in November! I'm going to go ahead and download The application because I'm sure that we will need to fill out some sort of about me, and maybe write a little something. That will give me all summer to figure out how to sell ourselves! I know that we are really good people and will be excellent parents, but sometimes it's so hard to talk about how great you are! I was thinking of including some photos of us as well, just to put a face to our application. I have some of us from our old re that I can include. Nothing inappropriate, just some pictures my mom took of us when she went with us to our appointment. It's things like dh and I talking and laughing and posing with pictures of the life cycle of an egg into embryo.

Me, Kenna and Pam had the itchy boobs during the early days we defo thought it's a sign.... FX for you Sarahlou.

 

[SarahLou372]

I was just thinking weather its to early or not..?

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Let's hope it is not too early Sarah
I think I implanted 6dpo if I look back at symptoms and a 9dpo bfp.

Good luck on the IVF grant Chelsea. I would totally vote for you and dh!

Me, Kenna and Pam had the itchy boobs during the early days we defo thought it's a sign.... FX for you Sarahlou.

I have had itchy boobs since my trigger shot, which was 10,000spu of HCG in me at once so id say it sounds like a good pregnancy sign for u, too! Fx!!!

EDIT!!-Sarah, I some how completely forgot u did the trigger as well. Mine was 7 days ago and i have thick creamy cm & sore/itchy bbs. I'm also on progesterone tho too...idk about you for progesterone? But I really hope both of our turn into a nice BFP, whether symptoms are trigger related ATM or not! Good luck Sarah!!

I can't symptom spot due to my trigger & progesterone. Other than obvious twinges, ill have NO clue what my symptoms are caused from, lol...but luckily only 7 days from today until beta!

I think sex after ivf is more of a concern that they may not have retrieved every egg you have and there is a possibility of them being released and fertilized.

This is what I thought UNTIL I was told NO orgasms, even without intercourse/sperm being apart of the process. So they feel the orgasms themselves can be an issues, apparently. I'll let u know what exactly my clinic is thinking when they suggest absolute no orgasms, either, until confirmed pregnancy. I'm pretty sure it has to do with a woman's uterus "contracting", though they could have a completely diff reason. At first I thought it was the sperm/extra egg thing too but then when I asked about "four play", that was 100% out of the question for now...well for me anyway...dh is aloud pleasure...Lucky. Lol.

And I'm so sorry DH didn't acknowledged mothers day much . Hopefully u got to have some fun today! I promise you, next year will be better with ur LO there in ur arms . I have learned over the past 7yrs not to expect much on Mothers day. Its just another day, pretty much, other than doing special mother day stuff but that doesn't always happen. I started to not look forward to ANYTHING & now the smallest things means the world to me! I remember my first 3 mothers day's, I felt so down and felt like nobody really cared that its MY day but you'll quickly learn that mothers day is truly "kids day!" LOL. But what day isn't kids day?! . I'm excited for ur first mothers day HOLDING your LO. You wont need DH to feel good!

 

[SarahLou372]

Thanks ladies

aidensmommy1 - No I'm not taking any progesterone just had the trigger shot a day after yourself by the looks of things

They are so sore tonight too!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Trigger is almost tested out!

 

[Jrepp]

Here are Mary's tests, with the trigger exiting the body

 

[SarahLou372]

Tested out???



All I know is my breast are killing and I'm having strange cramps at the moment, more like dull, mild aches, but twinges too, cant tell weather its in the middle or to one side the twinges..

 

[SarahLou372]

Jrepp - Are those tests from just after your HCG shot or are they when you found out you were pregnant??

Yeah I didn't read that last post properly did it...
