Scared of Bleeding

Hi ladies!

I'm one week post op today. I'm feeling pretty good but am still sore and tired of course. My mom is here and being very helpful. And my husband is a huge help when he gets home from work each day.

I was reading on the post op update page and saw that several sisters experienced major bleeding with blood clots after week 2. This greatly scared me as I will not have any help after 2 weeks. Does this happen to everyone?

Is there something to do to prevent such bleeding?

I'm also concerned because I sometimes have orgasms with sensual dreams. This is usually a nice wake up call but it happened on day 3 or 4 post op and was very painful. I'm concerned the spasm might cause problems later with my healing.

I see my doc next week on Tuesday for a post op appointment and will bring all of this to her attention. But wanted to hear from you all as well.

Thanks for the love and support!

I'm at 6 weeks now and I never had ANY bleeding at all. I also had some "fun" dreams during the first few weeks, didn't do any harm.

If you follow your doctor's instructions (resting, walking, drinking and eating) and you don't over do it, your chances of something going wrong are minimal. Remember that the ladies who end to post are the ones that experience complications. The ones that do fine don't have a lot to post so the number of difficulties posted versus the good recoveries that you see online is deceiving.

I had a really good recovery and didn't participate much in my recovery thread because I didn't have a lot to share. My body was healing just fine and the few questions that I had were asked and answered by other ladies.

I hope that I have put your mind at ease.

Thank you for the love and support! That is very comforting!!

I am behaving and resting. Drinking a ton of water... Hopeful for continued easy healing!
