Sex life during chemo

I think the advice is not to get pregnant; fairly positive you can keep up your sex life, that is if you can muster the energy and desire. Really hope you do !
Wish I had been able.....
Best Wishes !!

Thanks I knew the advice not to get pregnant.
Thanks for the advice

[color=#4000FF:2p7houd3]I was told the chemo can 'burn' my partner if we had intercourse for about 2 days after having chemo.

This is another great site that my oncology nurses used and advised me to use for info.

[i:2p7houd3]You’re usually advised to use condoms if you have sex within the first 48 hours after chemotherapy. Although it’s not proven, it may be possible that a small amount of the drug could pass into vaginal fluid, which could harm your partner. [/i:2p7houd3][/color:2p7houd3]

Hi ladies
Sunshine, I never knew any of this! However, it made no difference as there was no way I'd have had the energy or inclination in the first 48 hours after chemo. Or even the first 200 hours

Superwhy, on a lighter note, I noticed you writing about low platelets before and when you said it was 79, I thought you said you were 79! So now I see you asking about sex life and I thought fair play to her

Go for it girl, not many pleasures during chemo

Lol I am 36 year old.. Platelet count was 79.. Was back up to 155 yesterday... Have no interest in first 48 hrs or even first week.. But it's nice to feel a bit normal and do normal couple stuff..
