We're not as often as we used to be! 
I would say we average maybe twice a week.
Although after just getting a puppy, and having him crated in our room at night, DH thinks it's weird with the puppy in the room....LOL....so I'm excited to get back into it! 
What about you?

We used to average 3x a week... but with our schedules and LO, we average 1x, on a weekend night. It makes me feel old... I can't wait for E to STTN so I can get some energy back.

Pre-BFP, every other day. Post-BFP, once a week on Saturdays. haha. I'm always so tired after getting home from work and grubbing on dinner. Poor hubby. While he loves sexy time, he's also nervous about it with a baby in there.
I think @ChopSuey and someone else was an everyday couple!

We were about 3 times a week (which is what I voted because I want it back there again asap!) However, my first trimester was icky so we did not get busy very often at all. We're really getting back into the groove again though! yay!

We got into a major rut before TTC ... maybe once a week. Now, we're 3 or more per week, and it doesn't feel forced. For us, it was just realizing the issue, and realizing it needed to change.
About the dog in the crate, we used to care too ... but now we have 2 dogs, and a cat. It's weird sometimes when you realize they're watching you, but I think you'll get over it!

@Alivoo01: Used to be! Chopsuey and I were the cosleepers who managed to get away every night. I voted 3-7 this time though. Hubby has had some travel time for some of his work recently and just had surgery last week so I give him one night a week to rest now

Now that I'm in the third trimester I'm too big and uncomfortable and not at all interested so it's like once or twice every other week.

Since we got pregnant, 1-2 times a week 
Seems like one of us is always in bed before the other and we have so much other stuff going on. I miss being more active with our sex life.

@Maysprout: Look at you! phew! You go girl!!
@VEGMAMA: I know it's just a little weird I admit too! I'm just afraid he's going to start barking really loudly! hahahah the way it is we are just barely whispering to each other in bed right now, we don't want to set the puppy off. Maybe we will just have to make the puppy get over it, who know maybe he won't even care!

@winniebee: LOL that's why I added the "I don't remember" option to the poll! Just in case

@MrsBrewer: LOL! Our dog doesn't care. However, we dog sat for a friend and that dog would just sit and stare..... He had mentioned to us that she wasn't allowed in the bedroom during "those" times and now I understand why. AWKWARD. lol

@.twist.: LOL!!! Awkward is right!!! Talk about a mood killer...We're afraid to leave the puppy out of sight yet though. I mean we have a fenced in back yard, so we could always put him outside and get to business really fast, but that's no fun! hahaha plus I would feel bad with the puppy outside! hahahah

@MrsBrewer: haha yea. A puppy is definitely different. I guess I'd just try it out and see how it goes from there. lol. totally funny having to worry about animals!

@.twist.: I know tell me about it! We had 2 cats before, and they never bothered us. But now this dog....ugh LOL
Sidenote: I had a breakdown yesterday to DH because it's been so long, and this dog is "ruining our marriage" I was a little over dramatic.....DH told me today that he was holding back laughter when I said that last night.... (I was just really upset because the puppy just bit a hole in my nice *down* winter coat!) So I was already a crying fool! hahah

Pre-baby 3-5 times a week
Pregnancy usually 1x a week but sometimes 1x every 2 weeks
Now about 1x a week SOMETIMES twice a week.
In a nutshell, not enough. 
*one tired momma*

I look at these and think "how in the world do you have time for sex!?" I voted every other week, we try for once a week but it just doesn't always happen. By the time we get home from work, make dinner, feed baby, bath, play, bottle, and bedtiem we are both so exhausted we just cuddle on the couch. I miss the connection but we just haven't found a way to work it in yet!

@MrsBrewer: @.twist.: my dog humps his bed while we..you know. Super awkward.

Our dog will get up and leave if things get too exciting.
If I had my way, it would be every day, but DH needs his beauty sleep, so I settle for 3-4 x/week.

Pre-baby and during pregnancy we were 2-3x a week, but post-baby (especially once I went back to work) we are more like 1x a week if that. BF has killed my sex drive.

I'm so jealous of you multiple time-a-weekers. I'm a "what's sexy time?" kind of girl We're just not on the same page right now with things, so once we have the time to work through things then I'm sure it'll increase again.

Twice a week, usually. We did try to make a goal to have sex every day for a month lol, how sad.

Dude, hiding this thread from DH! lol! He can't know that some of your ladies are going 4-7 times a week! Good for you all.
nectarine / 2886 posts
Wow, you ladies are busy! Since LO arrived, not so often for me. I'm just so tired and all I want to do after dinner is sleep. So boring.

@HLK208: BAHAHAHA!!! Us too!!
Prior to having our 2nd (even during pregnancy) almost every day. Now it's probably 2-3 times per week. This kid exhausts me lol.

Lol, these responses crack me up. Especially @sorrycharlie: lol! We have a cat that will just sit there and STARE. She patiently waits until we are done so she can come up on the bed and lie across my legs. This is how she sleeps every night. lol.
We go through stages - some times a lot, some times not a lot. I'm in a bit of a funk now and don't feel like it at all. Extra baby weight and the winter blues are getting to me. I took myself off the pill because I think the extra hormones were bothering me, and I already feel better. I'm with the camp that there's either no time or I'm too exhausted and going to bed much earlier than DH. Definitely need to put in some more effort. Sometimes I feel badly for DH.
