The big O question....

I am 30 female with cf. I had a baby in July 07 and during the pregnancy the hemoptysis went away. When it came back after birth at full force which for me was 1-3 TBSP. episodes a few times a week and blood stained mucus daily I was NOT happy. The embolization has stopped my hemoptysis to only when I am getting increased infection. There are risks of embolizations (bronchial artery embolizations) incl. peralysis so if you are only bleeding during sex I don't think it is time for a BAE.

Hmmm now isnt the interesting. I've had that happen as well. I always thought it was due to laying flat but when we decided to try things in more of an upright position the same thing happened right before the big O. Yes, i agree with you, it is quite frustrating. Are you on Vitamin K? That may help with hemoptysis problems. In my opinion , ( i never asked my Dr. about it) i believe the reason for the hemoptysis during sex and right before the big O is because of the raise in blood pressure. With weakened blood vessels a much raised blood pressure could cause a break in a weak blood vessel. Vitamin K may help with this. I also take L-Lysine to help with hemoptyisis problems and it has helped a bit . You may want to bring up the subject to your Dr. about Vit.K if you arent on it already.

Great to hear about the baby!!
It happens occasionally not only during sex. Of course it is worse during inflammation.
I have heard about the risks. That's why I didn't really think about it as an option.
I would have to learn more about it before (and if) I make a decision.
As I don't have a boyfriend, sex becomes a bit stressful. I don't even want to imagine the first time it will happen with a guy. It will be awful. What will I say to the poor guy?!
As I said it didn't happen yet. Hopefully it never will, but I wish I could think only about pleasure...
