Good Therapy
A friend of a friend has a prednisone-induced progesterone disruption similar to mine. Along with others, my friend M- and I had lunch a few days ago, and then stood in line at pinkberry with her husband and my daughter. The line was long and the restaurant was blaring from the loud music. My friend’s husband was either politely ignoring the developing conversation or simply couldn’t hear it, and my daughter was fascinated by the notion of having strawberries and (what looked like) vanilla ice cream.
“I have this friend, who had problems with her cycle after prednisone, too,” my friend M- says.
“Really?” I answered, tweaking the princess on the ear.
“Yes. She went to see her doula about it.”
Silly me. I thought doulas were for labor and delivery and pregnancy management, not to mention recovery after birth. “What’d she say?” I asked.
M- grinned. “Well, in addition to the medicine,” she offered, “The doula recommended regular fertility massages.”
Self-fertility massage involves massaging the uterus, ovaries, and often the feet (to stimulate hormone production). I pictured where my ovaries are located, and exactly how massaging them would look to anyone observing me. It sounded delicious, although not necessarily a public activity. “Sounds like fun,” I grinned.
“She also recommended regular orgasms,” my friend announced. “3-5 times throughout the day, daily.”
I looked at M- and almost laughed. She’s in the scene (probably reading this post *wave*), but I am not accustomed to hearing the word “orgasm” from her mouth. “Well, that sounds fabulous,” I raised my brows.
But, really? 3-5 times/day throughout the day. When would I get my work done? My housework done? When would I write blog posts? When would I be interested in having sex with my husband?
Still, that’s about the best therapy that’s been suggested to me.

Well, you are just going to have to prioritize, and suffer it up with 3-5 well-spaced orgasms each day. If you don’t, everyone will know you aren’t serious. As for sex with your husband, he will have 3-5 opportunities per day to…er… slot himself in. It’s a tough job, but you’re both going to have to take one for the team.
Oh, and I suppose you want a daily report, too, hm?

Seriously. It’s time to tell Chris to get to massaging and…umm….slotting himself in, to put it nicely. (Thanks Casey!) And no one said he couldn’t participate in the activities of your 3-5 daily.
It’s too bad it doesn’t count to have 3-5 a day at one time. I could manage that, and Chris seems to enjoy it *cough* *cough*, if physical evidence can be believed…
You’ve clearly got to give this a try! I’d err on the side of caution and go for 5 initially.
That’s every five hours! What am I going to do – have sex at 11 and then wake up Chris at 4 and see if he wants to “slot himself in”?
That’s asking for a spanking!

Sounds like it should be fun for the 2 of you if the planning works out. Go with Indy’s suggestion of 5 and enjoy the new year.
I think I’ll need new batteries for my vibrator. And maybe a new vibrator, lol.

Time for a Hitachi…plug it in and VROOM. *grins*
(Just had to interject that.)
I don’t have one! I suppose that should go on a wish list at some point, hm?

I agree with all the above comments. More vibrators! More sex! More orgasms! Therapy is therapy, right? (Although, SHEESH, one little excursion to look at jeans and see what I miss?)
Heh. I’m actually surprised M- hasn’t commented yet. (I didn’t identify her because I didn’t ask if I could use her name in this!) Except for this conversation, looking at jeans would have been much preferable to the horrendous line we were in.
Hugs,

I’m definitely in agreement – definitely always better to err on the side of caution. If 3 orgasms are good, 5 are definitely better. I’m all about you feeling better, my dear!!!!
