My hubby and I have been married 4 years. We have no kids and have been trying for almost a year. He’s taking medicine for depression for PTSD/anxiety/epilepsy due to a severe head injury a couple of years ago. (Problems have stemmed from adding an anti-depressant recently.)
Anyhow, we’ve tried about 10 different medications, but each had the same side effect. ** TMI WARNING **He is able to get an erection but unable to ejaculate. I know it’s nothing else, because the problems start day 1 of taking the medicine. Then we would stop it, wait a week, and try another medicine. Same thing- first day, same problem. He is so hypersensitive to medications, and gets a lot of side affects.
I’m bipolar and 20 weeks pregnant. Right now I’m seriously in the low end of the spectrum. I’m really worried about post partem depression considering that I’m already prone to having manic/depression episodes. I’ve taken the meds before and I can’t function even on the low doses. Anti-depressants don’t work at all. I just wanted to hear other people who may have been bipolar during pregnancy.
And yes, I will be speaking to my doctor, but that doesn’t do any good without hearing some other opinions on the matter. I’ve tried going non-medicated and I really don’t believe that it’s very healthy for me to go without.
you can vent about here and know that at least one other person on Earth has gone through the same things in their pregnancy? I guess I’m pretty much just saying thanks for all the moral support and suggestions in answer to my thousands of questions (even the village idiot questions I asked). Life was pretty hectic a couple of hours ago, and I really appreciate all the helpful answers and suggestions. Y’all are the best!!And yes, there was a question in there in the middle, so as not to offend the rules.
Everytime me and my girlfriend do anything at all sexual I think she is going to get pregnant,even if I use a condom or I ejaculate nowhere near her vagina,how can I help this?
I have 2 years left. I’m mostly worried about pregnancy symptoms. I have been pregnant before, but had an abortion at 6 weeks due to medical risks. It was very hard for me, as I really wanted to carry on my pregnancy. My husband and I wanted our baby so badly and I have suffered tremendous depression. Pregnancy drained me. I was happy..but didn’t want to eat and was pretty tired. This is coming from a woman who is normally VERY hyper and eats too much (so the not eating part was good..as I still ATE, but just not as much..and not a lot of junk thankfully). I’m worried, however, because I’m in an accelerated program. I do not work, so that is a plus. But were most of you tired ALL day when pregnant..or did short naps do the trick? I’m in school from 8am-2pm Monday through Friday. I usually arrive home before 3:30pm. So I’m trying to think of how I will balance this. I need to be asleep by 10pm, as I wake up at 6:30am, to be to school by 9am. My commute is long I have 6.5 hours per day..but I’m thinking I will need a short nap…which leaves me 3 hours per day to study. Doable right? What do you think? Thanks in advance.
My hormones are all over the place, ironically even with a precious little baby in my tummy, and a loving supportive family, I still fell alone. I was so excited in my first trimester but now, I have no energy or desire to do those things that used to make me happy. I just feel so drained all the time. I don’t really see my friends and I seldom leave the house anymore. I’m terrified that these thoughts will make me a bad mother, and I only have 5 more weeks to prepare myself for his arrival. What can I do to re-charge myself. Are these fears common?
