This is tmi, but I don't know what to do! It is really starting to bother me.

:

Please tell me someone else has experienced this, so that I do not feel like a complete freak. I don't know what is going on with me, I feel like a TOTALLY different person and I want to be myself again!!!!

This started a few days ago........ after dh and I made love, I still felt the "fullness" afterwards... like I was still aroused. Well, it did not go away and has lasted all these days and still has not gone away. 24/7. I feel it for no reason, and no matter how often we make love, it won't go away. I climax and everything is fine but the feeling just won't go away. It isn't possible for this to continue forever.... but so far it has! Is there something wrong with me?

I feel so depressed! What is this..... it doesn't make sense. I've read about increased pelvic blood flow and all these increased hormones, etc..... but could it be accountable for this? I have never experienced anything like this before.

Did you actually have an orgasam? Maybe you need a G-Spot orgasam to be satisfied?

 

[sehbub]

You're not weird! I promise!

I read a health article recently about this very topic! I'm gonna get personal, but here we go...are you having orgasm(s) during sex with your DH? If not, you may need to get him to help you "finish" which should relieve the pressure that has built up. That's really the only solution the suggest. Some women just go through these libido rushes and the only relief is orgasm...IMO, there are worse remedies.

Hope it helps! Tell DH to get busy!

 

[heabrook]

No, I do orgasm but the feeling still persists! It just doesn't make sense........

 

[sehbub]

Have you tried orgasm via the clitoris? I know those are usually more intense than the ones that occur during intercourse alone.

Wow, good thing we're all very comfortable with our sexuality, huh?

 

[heabrook]

I know, thanks guys! I really appreciate this help.

Poor dh, not only am I having this but I also feel very depressed because of it so I have been crying on his shoulder a lot! He has been so sweet to me, especially lately. Otherwise, I would probably be going even crazier right now.

Yes, we have tried orgasm via clitoris.... but it hasn't wielded any better results. I swear, this constant feeling has to end up going away at some point or either that or I'm going to go crazy. I had a theory that if I had an orgasm twice (one right after the other, essentially), the feeling HAS to go away. But that didn't work either. *sigh*

I have been aroused for a while now and DH needs to use both his hands and his penis to get the job done now. I need lots of foreplay or I will remain excited. Try different possitions as some can give you a stronger O than others. Good luck and don't worry. Just enjoy the sex, you may not have it for a while after! And remember it could be worse it could be a hemroid that is constantly throbbing!

I wonder if, like you said, the increased blood flow and swelling of the tissues due to that and extra estrogen production are at least partly responsible for what you're feeling! This may be a long shot, but doing kegels can help the circulation down there, I wonder if that would help what you're feeling?

I'm sorry that this is bothering you so much! Hopefully as you get further along in the pregnancy, you won't feel this way... remember it is very normal for a pregnant woman to have swollen privates, and I wonder if that swelling is what is causing the sensation you're describing.

I am going to try kegels. It could not hurt, and it is a great excuse to start doing them.

Thank you

I am hoping that it can't last the rest of my pregnancy, because I wouldn't be able to stand it.

You could be right about the swelling.. maybe that is what is causing this sensation. As I said in an earlier post, I had a "theory" with dh that if I could orgasm twice, maybe it would go away.. but although I have the persistent sensation, I don't feel like I want to/need to have an orgasm.... so the second one took lots of persistence to actually get it to happen and it still didn't help. It is no better... so -- I am stuck with this persistent sensation that is enough to bother anyone......

I had that happen to me once. I was such a hornball I thought I was going to go nuts. But nothing was enough. Turned out I had a pelvic infection that quickly went away with cranberry pills, acidophilus, and garlic supplements.

It's very likely you'rer reacting to your pregnancy hormones, but it may be worth a shot to treat yourself for a PI.

That's interesting... is this a common symptom of a PI?? I've never had one before, and not sure how I could have gotten one either? But, I suppose I could treat myself for one. I have cranberry and acidophilus that I could take.

 

[HeatherKae]

My vote is for the increased blood circulation to the area due to hormones. I haven't had the same exact thing, but with all three of my pregnancies I've had some pretty unsatisfactory Os. It usually takes a few hours for my parts to go back to normal.

Have you tried taking a cool shower or bath. Not cold, but cool enough to shrink things a bit down there?

And I'd say, from my own experience, that Kegels will just do the opposite of what you want. They tend to get me... ummm... more "full" (is the word I think you used).

 

[heabrook]

I'm going to try a cool shower. I'll try anything

Does masturbation help?

No, it's not a common symptom. I think in my case my infection was in a higher or different place than usual so I couldn't self-diagnose like I usually do. It sure would be nice if a little pill could make it all go away....or make it er, you know, not go ALL away.

OMG!!!! I had this SAME issue early on, and I asked my OB about it, cause I felt this way 24/7 for like WEEKS.....My OB said it was due too increased blood flow and them hormones, that it was totally normal. I also felt this way with my first, but not with Maddy and Nic...I KNOW just how you are feeling *hugs*

Oh my gosh. I am SO happy to hear you say that! Now I don't feel alone and like a freak..... *sigh* You give me hope!! I hope that mine ends soon like yours did. The thought of having this throughout the entire preg is a nightmare

: It is hard for people to understand what it is like, but since you have been through it you do understand. I guess everyone's body reacts differently to pregnancy...... here is hoping that this goes away very soon
