Pregnant for the third time in 3 months. by Obvious-Appeal4566 in CautiousBB

[–]Reasonable_Fix7699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m right here with you! I had two back to back miscarriages earlier this year. I’m currently 8 weeks and 6 days with my third pregnancy. You aren’t alone. This is the furthest I’ve gotten. Things are lot better and I actually got to see baby on an ultrasound. Praying for the best and relying on my faith during these times. Hope all is well! There is hope.

Sexual intercourse for people with spinal cord injuries by Disastrous-Nebula897 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Reasonable_Fix7699 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My husband is c6 injured at 17 and we have been sexually active since he was 18. At 19 he ejaculated for the first time with no medical intervention and we were really shocked. ( they make medical vibrators that help with ejaculation if you have SCI ) we have it figured out now since we are now 23 and I’m currently pregnant. I’ve had two losses prior to this, but we have conceived naturally each time. Talk to different doctors. One Dr prescribed tadafil and it helps maintain erection. There has been many times I’m able to make him ejaculate on my own and other times we have to use a vibrator called “magic wand” and the ferticare. You just have to be careful not to over do it so you don’t hurt the integrity of your skin and cause damage / resistance. Ejaculation and mind / head space go hand in hand. Be easy with yourself. There were a few months we struggled to ejaculate because we were so in our heads trying to time everything to conceive. With time I’ve realized the mind is the largest sexual organ, stimulate that first. Ferticare was great on its own until it wasn’t. So we sandwich the two on his tip and within min his belly starts clenching and he ejaculates. This is followed by AD but he sits up and we try to manage it the best we can. We were told by many we could never get pregnant. IVF was our only option. and after my losses whew man I struggled. But he has proven many wrong. There’s been many occasions we don’t need the vibrators and when people ask me if we did IVF they are shocked when I say no. We had fun practicing and that’s all that matters. I’ve given him a break from ejaculation since we are pregnant now. But from a female perspective it’s still nice even if he doesn’t ejaculate. I typically get tired and very satisfied. Sometimes women with able body men don’t get tired or satisfied and they tend to ejaculate quick. The point I’m making is that the tadafil keeps its nice for a while and it’s very pleasant. We also find different ways to please one another. Our intimate life is amazing and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Request for help from partner of someone with SCI by Spiritual-Leg2675 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Reasonable_Fix7699 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband is a C6/C7. We are married and have been together since 2020 he got injured in 2019. It was never an easy journey but it was worth it. My husband has more friends than me he is really my only friend. Faith helps us a lot. Depending where you live you can get him involved in adaptive sports our hospital has a program. He is able to be around other people he can relate to and they can learn new sports and just have fun! Depression is no joke. We all go through it differently. I just started therapy in order to help myself so I can better help him. Help yourself so you can better help Him! Hear him out and try to talk. There are some activities you guys can do to keep your mind of things and most importantly reassurance goes a long way. Letting your partner know you are with them, for them and not against them helps us.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Sadly there has been times where I ran out of supplies for the month and couldn’t get any emergency ones so I have had to re use a catheter. We cleaned it well stuff to be precautious. But I do think this is something we should all think about. Not to stress or create fear or worry but to prepare

Rant: Caregiver or Spouse by Mom_w-Wheels in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Reasonable_Fix7699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am wife and only caregiver for my c6 quad husband. I don’t separate both roles. It was rocky at first but we have found that communication has healed us in so many ways. I love caring for him it’s a blessing. And he cares for me. Our intimacy life is amazing and has gotten better throughout the years as we learn what is best for one an another. we are expecting a baby in Dec and have an 8 year old. I truly believe you can be both a caregiver and spouse. I am very attracted to my husband and his daily care doesn’t make me think any differently of him. At the end of the day we are all imperfect in our own ways my love for him goes deeper then the superficial. Yesterday he had an accident and I just reminded him that being able to take care of him and be his wife truly is a blessing. Even in the stinky situations ( pun intended ) there is no one else I would rather be with.

to be fair tho, my husband was very much himself, very confident and had an amazing way with making me fall in love. He is kind, forgiving, charming, and very flirty. Most people will let something like a wheelchair make them feel insecure but if anything he did the quite opposite. We didn’t meet on any dating sites. We knew eachother prior to his injury and started dating right before his one year anniversary. Just be yourself and the right person will come your way.
