Re: Afraid for sex with vaginal cuff
Ladies, it's all good! I was so scared too. I am 8 wks post op and was terrified. last nite we did it and it all worked fine. Hubby was happy, no pain for me, no bleeding. Felt just a tad different but i think that was from my nervousness but Im on top of the world today. I cried after because of the relief of being "normal' again. My sister told me to be "nike" just do it and she was right. Be on top so you're in control and it will be fine! Good luck and happy healing.

Third time was a charm, still mellow without deep penetration, but no pain or bleeding!

Re: Afraid for sex with vaginal cuff
My doctor gave me the "go-ahead" at my 5 week post-op appointment, and we did....I was a little nervous, but everything was fine! My husband said that he didn't notice a difference. I am now at 11 weeks post-op, and sex is great! I have never felt better than I do now after my hysterectomy.

Re: Afraid for sex with vaginal cuff
Yes That would have a Huge impact on it hurting or not...
Just need to be careful for a while... Like about 12 to 14 weeks post Op... We don't need any more issues to deal with in ther future....
Our bodies really need that chance to heal properly... No matter how badly we want to just jump back into our normal activities..
and being on top... Well that may have to wait for a while tell the tendarness of just the poking the Vag Cuff stops being so bothersome...
I'd really think about getting that Butterfly clittoral vibrater for you and have your man not go so deep for a while...
It will be fun and new for both of you.... And that is what it's all about right?

Re: Afraid for sex with vaginal cuff
I just had my 8 week post op appt and she cleared me for sex. I thought wooo hoo...um, I am scared to death!!! I don't have any spotting. She said all my stitches are still there. She used slow dissolving stitches (4-6 months) so I get healed properly. She just warned me no "jack hammer" sex. She said she saw one woman in the er that was torn open due to too much rough sex. Her suggestion (TMI) was I be on top to control it.
Still haven't had the nerve enough to try it..I think hubby is a little hesitant too as not to hurt me. I guess I just need to get that first one over with. But NO you are not alone. I get that song in my head "Feels like the first time" every time I think of it.

Re: Afraid for sex with vaginal cuff
Hi everyone! Happy girl today - we tried it again but this time with KY. OH MY! That is the trick! Should have known that first time that dryness would be a problem. I strongly recommend lube. Hubby is happy and I got to control things being on top. No pain, no bleeding = all good. Hitting the 12 week mark this Monday - woohoo! Hope you all are able to get the courage to give it a shot when the time is right. I was a nervous wreck, but it was really fine. Now I'll be more relaxed for the next time - still going to be in control though, no rough stuff yet.
Thanks for all of the input/advice! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Peachy
