Gooey

[FluffyFerns]

NC for this for obvious reasons.

This is probably TMI but I can’t ask anyone in real life.

Me and DH have just started TTC for the first time. First time I’m ever having sex without a condom. Trying for a baby is doing wonders for our sex life, but I’m really struggling with the sticky gooeyness afterwards. I’ve been going to the loo and showering afterwards but it’s still really unpleasant.

Do I have to just suck it up (ha!) and get on with it, or do you have any tricks to help me not feel like I’ve got custard coming out of me all the time.

Just me then? I hope not

Bump

Oh dear. Perhaps a panty liner afterwards?

Nothing you can really do about it unfortunately other than showering and going to the loo. If anyone has any tips though I'm all ears!

How about a mooncup /similar to keep it all up there? Might help with conception too.
Nothing you can do really - wee, wetwipes, pantyliner.

Never used a mooncup before but maybe a tampon would work?

Don't use a tampon when you're not on your period! Just use a panty liner like everyone else :)

I hate the first ‘standing up’ after sex, gravity really does us women dirty there. I keep a roll of toilet roll in my bedside drawer or just sit on the toilet for a few mins and wipe.

Just go to the loo and wipe well! Pop in a panty liner. Don’t use a tampon! I wouldn’t use a moon cup either.

With much hilarity in our house! When we were young it was supposed to be all sexy, but really it's revolting- all gooey and goes cold so quickly 🤢
These days we 'come prepared' with a towel under the pillow or possible even under me if we're going for missionary position.

If I'm on top there's an ungainly shuffle to get towel between my legs without gooing all over him, and then a dismount (equally ungainly and usually gets us laughing because it is so comical) with him attempting to hang on so I a) don't fall off the bed and b) don't get spunk on the carpet Had an entertaining morning with a couple of woman friends in which we were doing demos of running to the loo post sex with thighs pressed together.
Sex truly isn't as pretty as they make it appear I the movies 🤣

And knickers after sex, always!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! It’s such a horrible feeling, I’ve had to start washing my pjs after one wear because of the leakage . Really want to get pregnant quick so we can go back to the extra thick condoms!

No, definitely not just you! I had tubes tied so no contraceptives any more, but sometimes I think it would be simpler to use condoms.

Good luck with ttc OP!
