Soooo what are the rules or myths you have heard about having sex during the tww. I'm curious if it actually effects implantation. I have heard some couples wait up to 6 weeks before dtd again if they get a BFP.
-
I never heard anything about it one way or another-- but there usually was a bit of a break since we were pretty conscientious about doing it a lot while I was ovulating!
-
Sex shouldn't affect anything.
-
HMM I've never heard of this, but if there's a truth to it, it probably affected us getting pregnant. We were always doing the deed in the TWW, usually about EOD.
-
I've never heard about this either - we usually were less frequent during the TWW after lots of BD, but the month we got our BFP we DTD lots during the TWW because we were on vacation!
-
I've heard of pelvic rest being ordered during fertility treatments like IVF (and they don't do it in all IVF situations) or after a BFP with that kind of treatment or when a m/c is possible. I've been told "absolutely nothing up there except Endometrin".
-
We did it almost every day during the tww and so far I'm still pregnant
I say have fun! And best to get it in before the ms hits!
-
I figured it was a crazy myth. There is no better reference then HB!
-
Sex wouldn't do anything.
-
I think it is fine to have sex during the TWW.

In my ivf cycles, I am not allowed to have sex post transfer and this prohibition continues for several weeks after a positive pregnancy cycle.. The doctors fear that uterine spasms will interfere with implantation or the pregnancy so the no sex rule is part of a lot of ivf protocols. That being said, once you are at the ivf stage, you don't want anything, however tiny, to mess with your chances. I certainly never stopped having sex during my natural cycles.

@raintreebee: Agreed, I think if you weren't allowed to a doctor would have told you by now. Although I'm not in an IVF cycle I'm being treated like I'm in one and am not allowed until at least 12 weeks.

@spaniellove: Wow. 12 weeks. Not gonna lie. That would be *very* hard for me!
