Sendoff Sex - Intimacy Before IVF
Scheduled intercourse month after month in our TTC days had worn deep into our psyche, and then the dictated rules about when we were intimate during fertility treatments felt like we were barely in control of when and how we enjoyed each other. With Sendoff Sex, we found joy in the intentionality that that time would be special and that it would carry us through until the next time it was safe for us to be together that way.
I busted out the lingerie. We put together a playlist. We turned our phones on silent and really, connected. We both came with a freedom we had been missing, and it felt like an explosion of hope and frustration and anticipation of the months both behind and ahead of us.
Infertility & Intimacy
How TTC and Fertility Treatments can Change Everything (& what you can do about it!)
Before I started TTC…
I didn’t know that trying to have a baby, really really trying - it wasn’t all fun and games.
It didn’t necessarily mean better or more frequent sex with my partner. I didn’t know that struggling to conceive would impact our intimacy significantly. That failing to get pregnant would challenge the way we connected physically.
Let’s Talk About Sex, {for a} Baby!
I think intimacy is a beautiful thing, much like everyone else, I’d assume.
I also have genuinely enjoyed being intimate with my husband since the start of our relationship. But our sex lives, and our attitudes toward having sex changed drastically over 2+ years of trying to conceive, and it’s not something I ever could’ve predicted.
Why, you ask?
Because NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT!
