Ok ... this is highly difficult to ask but I am sure there has to be other women in this situation too... so here goes....
My husband has ED (erectile disfunction) due to his diabetes. So as you can imagine our bedroom life has slowed down a bit. He has been on the standard meds that you have heard of but they are expensive and he doesn't have insurance. This is starting to impact our relationship. Already he goes to school full time and I work full time but at least when I get home I don't have homework that keeps me up til 2AM. (A 2 year old that wakes me up in the middle of the night from time to time yes... but not up til 2AM every night). I would like to be able to approach him about being together more often but it's not that easy if there isn't some asistance (I am sure you can see how I am turning red just typing this).
So I guess my question is.... does anyone know of something else that might be herbal or whatever that doesn't cost much money that could help???
Sigh!!! Ok thanks!
Don't know about ED remedies -- what about all the other things people can do in bed? Or is he demoralized?
Not much help here, but it sounds as if you have the other usual impediments to a sex life, like kids, work and school.
I don't know of anything herbal, but most drug manufactures have a program for people that don't have insurance and can't afford the drug a doctor prescribes. Look on their website and see.
You could also talk to his doctor. They get a ton of free samples and they should be willing to let you have some.
You shouldn't be embarrassed. This is a normal and healthy part of a marriage. If he couldn't participate, it would be one thing, but if the only thing he needs is medical support, then get it. You wouldn't be embarrassed to ask for his insulin- same thing, because it keeps your marriage healthy and that is important for you and the baby.
I was thinking along the lines of approaching him with affection. Maybe if you guys could find a common ground where you are both getting pleased without the full on intercourse then it might relieve some pressure. I learned other ways of feeling that intimate while I was PG and on bedrest. Who knows maybe the affection would just lead to a great night ;)
Good Luck,
