I am still here..sneezing away

I have so much to catch up to with all my favorite bloggers ..as soon as I found out about my BFP...I started feeling really tired. I thought it could have been about the hormones but then my throat got really sore..and now I am in full blown sneezing and coughing fits. This kind of sucks. I want to celebrate and enjoy this moment but I am so drained. I am recovering quickly though..I did not get a fever, so it is just a cold now..but I am very very tired.

I have many blogs to catch up with...I miss my blogging buddies.

I also have to admit I have been very emotional. I am not sure if it is the estradiol pills twice a day and progesterone at night..I wonder if the hormones are not natural and more than normal. I feel out of control emotionally lately. Very vulnerable and insecure. I seem to be nagging my husband a lot. And I went out with my mom today and everything she did was annoying me. TMI notice(I have not had sex in a very long time.) I am on edge..because I am sick, I am on a huge amounts of hormones, and it has been two very long months of hormones and 2 week wait..of no sex.

I can not believe I am writing this down on my blog for the world to read but I really feel sex in a relationship does bring a couple closer. I do not feel that sex alone brings a couple closer because there can be intimacy and closeness that does not involve sex that  But sex alone is an extremely close intimate moment that should not be ceased for two months. Plus..I do not think we will be "doing it" until after the first trimester. Okay...I am going to stop revealing this part of my life..who knows what I will write next!

I hope you all are doing great and have many great plans for this weekend! Tomorrow is Friday! Yayayay

Hugs

    I was an emotional trainwreck the entire first trimester. Those pesky hormones finally even themselves out a bit and you eventually start to feel normal. Well, normal but with an expanding belly!

    you're the second IVF BFP blogger to say they aren't being intimate for at least the first 12 weeks of their pregnancy. This makes me paranoid, as we haven't abstained at all and my RE hasn't told us to. I mean, it wasn't an IVF pregnancy, but I'd think we're all even physically for the most part at this point. If you have a reason that you were told not to, I'd love to hear it!

    Sorry you've been feeling so crappy! Hopefully this is your one and only cold this pregnancy. My doc told us to abstain until after the heartbeat, but then we had a subchorionic hematoma, and now the hubs is freaked out about the baby inside watching or something... I have to admit, I'm not pushing it. My doc warned about likely bleeding after sex, and I don't want to freak out like I know I would if there was bleeding. So we just do other stuff... :)

    I'm sure it's a combo of the hormones and the natural stressors that come along with the first trimester. Don't be too hard on yourself, I'm sure you'll feel better soon!

    I agree, sex FOR FUN is so key to a relationship, that goes beyond the physical...

    I'm with you on this one.. some of the IVF stuff I've read says not to have sex until the end of the 1st trimester. I just feel it's different for natural conceptions.. But I know what you mean -I've started having sex dreams!

    I can really relate to this post!!! Well, minus the fever & cold- ugh, hope that goes away soon! The hormone-a-coaster is no fun at all! Hope you have a great weekend as well.

    Happy ICLW. I can imagine the emotional roller-coaster you are on. I hope you 'get some' soon :-) You can still have fun w/o sex... ;-) Enjoy your weekend.

    Not really sure you can write an infertility blog without the TMI part - so don't feel bad. Congrats on your BFP!

    Just finding your blog through ICLW. Here's hoping you get some soon! You're right, sex is so important to staying connected and it is so easily forgotten when the stress of infertility takes over. I can absolutely relate! Congrats on your BFP and good luck in the boudoir : )
