Sex when you feel utterly hideous...

...What to do?!

I'm getting to my fertile window, I would think (day 11 of my cycle) and I feel hideous.

Proper full-blown can't-get-out-of-bed flu, teamed with a hacking cough, sweats and a rasping voice. Lovely.

What do most of you do in this situation - give it up for this month? Or try to convince your DH to impregnate a snotty, sweaty, coughing monster?!

I couldn't be less sexy right now, but I'm loath to write this month off. Perhaps I could nap while he gets on with it?!

Hiya running!
Sorry to hear you're feeling like that. I'm in exactly the same boat! We've just got on with it but feel so ill! I couldn't have felt less sexy.
Yes hopefully he won't notice you napping!!

I can completely sympathise with you. Try making yourself a honey and lemon, as I find straight after, I feel "normal" for an hour lol could try and pounce on him then

I vote just let him get on with it. I wouldn't want to miss a month.

MissMartin1992 · 04/04/2015 11:42

Stick a shot of whisky in your lemsip. Or give DH the whisky. Or both! Good luck.

I'm in a similar situation only it's my Husband who's sick, not me. If it were me I think I'd probably do the old 'Monica from Friends' and turn him on by rubbing my chest with Vicks. However my Husband is full-on man-fluing right now, and to be fair I've never seen the poor guy so ill, so I reckon we're out this month . Good luck to you though!
