Since 3rd trimester and post pregnancy? Sheesh... It's been the longest dry spell ever! I asked DH if he's missing it or too tired to think about it and he said "too tired". Lol. Get cleared in a week but we'll see how often we can get around to sexy time! ;) cyndistar3 on "How long is a dry spell?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-a-dry-spell/page/2#post-711383 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:00:05 +0000 cyndistar3 711383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ After a week dh starts acting like he is dying and thinks I don't love him any more... lol sometimes its a few weeks in between.

Before getting pregnant, during non-O times once a week was normal, more than that felt like a dry spell. We'll see what happens once the baby arrives!!

DH has been super busy at work...he hit his 40 hrs for the week at shift start yesterday...so he comes home exhausted and sore. And the baby has been up every hour or two all night and his naps suck so I'm exhausted. We usually try to make it a priority, but right now not so much.

I'm anxious to get back on the horse, but the one time we tried pp, it did not go well.

Not sure about DH, his back pain has killed his sex drive. About once every few months does he really come after me. I feel like we are constantly in a dry spell & it seems like the only time we dtd you is to Ttc. Sometimes we sneek in a just for fun. We use to DTD at least 3-4 times a week. As long as DH cuddles, holds my hand and gives me lots of kisses I'm happy. birdofafeather on "How long is a dry spell?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-a-dry-spell#post-711142 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:43:45 +0000 birdofafeather 711142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ More than 1.5 weeks an we're probably both looking for some loving!

We have sex (or an equivelent act) almost every day. I would say 2 weeks would be a "dry spell". This will probably change after we have a kid. winniebee on "How long is a dry spell?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-a-dry-spell#post-710835 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:37:51 +0000 winniebee 710835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Before pregnancy, a week.

I can't cranky if I don't get my regular stress relief :) First trimester has killed my sex drive though. I think we've done it like four times in the last 6-7 weeks and even though I don't really care I can tell DH is going a little crazy. ktgee04 on "How long is a dry spell?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-a-dry-spell#post-710768 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:25:11 +0000 ktgee04 710768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pre-baby one week was considered a dry spell. Now with a baby, if we get close to 2 weeks we both start joking about it and make sure to make 'it' a priority!
