Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
6 wk post op and i got ok from gyno for
Sex. i was so excitee! Lots of foreplay and I was very wet but my husband was scared
For me and only penetrated about an inch and I felt a stinging pinch!! Like a bite! So we quit and I made appt and saw dr the following day . I was very tender in that spot and dr said wait two more weeks. Anybody else experience this? Now I am scared to try again!! Anybody have it good the first time?

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
Hi sister. I was also cleared at 6 Wks but my post op appt exam was painful so I didn't attempt. What i did do was touch my cuff after that and it felt very sore. I checked it weekly after that' and I felt that soreness up until wk 10. Once I didn't feel soreness we went ahead and there was no pain no cramps nothing bad. So maybe you just need to wait a little longer and when the 2 Wks is up use your finger to see if you feel discomfort. Hope that helps

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
Thank you laineylaine for the Information. At the risk of sounding uninformed , what is the "cuff"? Is that the top of my vagina where it is sealed? I don't know if I have the nerve to check that high up! I guess I need to get over that to know for sure if I am healed there.

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
Just responded to another post about not being given the ok until 3 months. I think we have to consider that even though we are cleared at 6 weeks doesn't mean we all are ready that soon. I would give it a few more weeks. Best wishes.

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
Yes sister it is the top. I know what you mean but I was more scared not too. I agree that we should listen to our bodies instead of some random date the dr gives to everyone.

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
Im in the same boat, its been 7weeks and even an inch hurts! We have tried several times but it hurts all the same. Just remember we all heal at different rates. I agree that you should check things out yourself. I know very well how scarey it can be. Everything feels so different down there, we need to get to know ourselves before we take the next step. With all of the stories out there it is very important for us as women to find our truth! I cried to my husband telling him that i was different down there and i was worried about what he thought as well. After exploring together he came up with a saying. Its like driving a new car that no one else has ever driven. Good luck with everything! We are all here to support you

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
I had my 6 week check up today. The dr said it all looked good, he can still see sutures that haven't fallen out and to wait 2 more weeks till sex. After hearing that pain is common at 6 weeks, I think I will happily wait a little longer, and maybe even do a finger check like the other person.

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
I saw my dr last Monday at 7 weeks. I had granulation taken off with silver nitrate so he said wait another week for sex. Which was yesterday. But Ill admit I am scared and am putting it off.
My dr did an internal and put in the pap speculum neither hurt at all, so Im wondering if sex may not.
I know orgasms are no issue, Ill admit I tried myself last week and was a good one
Neither myself or dh is in a rush. He said just let me know when you think youre ready. Maybe Ill give it till the weekend.

Re: Sex after 6 weeks hurts me!
I healed perfectly and the doctor still didn't clear me until 10 weeks, still have another week and 2 days, surgery was Aug 29th. Went for a brisk walk last night and it was the first time since surgery I felt completely normal and in much better shape than before surgery, so I think it will be fine, but so glad I've waited.
