CPW- sexy time

blueeyedblossom

Do you have sexy time when AF is in town.

sparklingdiamond

We sometimes will, but not on my heavy days.  Though I usually don't feel like having ST on those days anyways!

We're like @sparklingdiamond.

But the last 3 AF's have pretty much been spotting. So we do it anyways.

blueeyedblossom

I would on my lighter days, but H refuses. :-(

This.

FFC: I swear when AF is here, I am repulsed by DH. I don't want him to touch me or be near me.

LuckyAngel07

Like PPs, yes, but only on light days toward the end. The first few days are totally off limits!!

Sometimes we will... shower ST is usually how we do it unless I'm just spotting then we don't really care where or when. Since I spot for like 5 days before AF that's just cruel to hold out so long.

H can't handle the thought of ST during AF. Technically since I use the diaphragm, it shouldn't be an issue. But (TMI I guess...) I do NOT want to put it in/take it out during AF. Sick. Me. OUT. :-&

I use SoftCups during AF, which means pushing them in and reaching in to take them out. It's certainly no fun getting blood all over your fingers, but you do learn to just take in stride, especially since it is your own blood and all.

I thought about buying these to try. I wonder if he would be down for it, if I did?!

Don't get me wrong, I do plan on using those once this box of tampons is gone, but they have a little thing to pull on, no? So you can kind of have a better grip. 

But there's something about spermicide+AF+sperm that's a bit much for me. I don't know, maybe I'm a prude. I don't think AF alone is 'icky', though.

Sometimes, but usually only in the shower. During spotting, we do what we want!

When we used the diaphram I was the same way. H would want to go for it during AF, but he was adimant that I could get pregnant during that time and would want me to put it in.  That happened once, but with all the liquids going on in there, it wasn't a pleasant experience.

@GoodWolf, SoftCups specifically do not have anything to pull. You just need to stick your finger along the rim to release the suction and then pull it out by the rim.

Diva/Lunette cups are different though; those have a little "stem" at the bottom, and it sounds like that's what you're thinking of. You insert and remove those differently than you do the SoftCups, and I don't have experience with them.

Good to know!

If its light, yes. If its heavy, no. I'm glad my Dh is open to it because I always seem to want it the most when AF is in town.

akcrrr

We do but not on the heavy days

Flamingo86

We never do. DH is super grossed out by it. Maybe if I'm just spotting a little, but nothing more than that.

This!  I always seem to want it the most when AF is in town.  But we usually wait a day or two till it is lighter.

Uptowngirl2009

Like most of the PPs, we only do it on very light days.

blueeyedblossom

I'm jealous of all you ladies who get to have ST during AF. :-(

DangerMuffin23

Yeah, no. DH would, but I just can't be sexy during AF and when we have tried in the past there's no way I'm going to get off cause I'm grossed out. Sooo, I'll do stuff for him that we don't do the rest of the month since we're ttc and need that other stuff to happen where it belongs. lol

blueeyedblossom

DH just got a beej last night for the first time in forever. Maybe when I start temping again, he can get them more often. ;-)

DangerMuffin23

I like that it keeps things interesting.  It can get kinda predictable when you're ttc (and one of game plans is LOTS of ST FREQUENTLY) (like, all. the. time.)
