maybe TMI but sex drive and IVF?

Hi guys~
I'm glad I found this section of the forum. My DH and I started having a lot of stress in our relationship and fighting quite a lot because I have had no sex drive at all, when he would even look at me I would think "don't even think about it!" This has never happened to me with him before. We had a great sex life but all of the meds messed with me so much. This created such a problem for my DH because our great sex life is what makes him feel secure in our relationship. I wonder if maybe I'm not the only one this has happened to and more hubbies feel this way and dont talk about it?

During my cycle with all the med's, I never felt like it. My belly felt huge and my ovaries felt like they were about to burst, so there was absolutly no BD'ing ! Then, after the ER - I obviously didnt feel like it and after ET, we werent suppose to.
Now, we are about 1 week after our Negative BETA and thing's are back to normal ...

Just give it some time

I am feeling like myself again now too, thank goodness. Even after such a huge disappointment last week, it feels so good to be getting my happy marriage back.
Glad to hear it wasn't just me!

Yeah, being so sore and moody and then on restrictions after ET makes for a non-existent sex life. Pretty ironic when you're trying to make a baby! It sucks but I think it makes the emotional bond stronger.

I personally felt like there was already so much "traffic" down there from the scopes and the ultrasounds that I didn't want to consider anything more.

Glad to hear you're feeling back to normal!
