Super mortified/ concerned

I'm 1 1/2 weeks po. Obviously was told nothing in vagina for 6 wks. But I woke up this morning with my hand in my underwear and it was clear i had put my finger in my vagina. Went to the bathroom and there was some blood in my underwear (pinkish, not alot) and I'm having some cramping now.

Side note, I haven't had any bleeding PO til now. That's why I am slightly concerned. Paired with the cramping, I'm curious if I could have opened the cuff.

Sisters have been awakened by orgasms and erotic dreams early in their recovery due to libido surge, so you're not alone there. The increased blood flow could be the cause of your cramping. The spotting is common enough (especially pinkish and the small amount you're experiencing) even without having inserted your finger and even if you'd not spotted before. If you would have torn your cuff, there would be much more bleeding - the emergency type where you're filling a pad.

Still there could be risk of infection this soon post-op which is the concern for you. As embarrassing as it might be, go ahead and call your doctor and share what you did here. Experienced doctors have had patients who didn't wait for intercourse and have likely encountered this, too. The office will know the right questions to ask to see if there should be any follow up at this point. If they suggest just to monitor, you'll have that peace of mind from calling.

I'm so glad to have found this post this morning. Today is day 8 post op for me and I have been doing and feeling really well since. Last night I had my first orgasm and I was scared after. I managed to put my mind at ease and fell asleep but this morning I definitely feel off. There's not a lot of pain or cramping per say but more discomfort. I feel like maybe I shouldn't have done anything now but those frisky feelings just came over me.
No bleeding just the usual spotting. Does blood flow from an orgasm help the insides recover? I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I hope I didn't set myself back.

Hope you are feeling better, I'm going to rest and do very little today.

(((SarahM1978))), actually the blood flow from orgasm could hinder healing; also, the spasms could cause damage to the healing areas. It may also depend on the type of surgery and any additional repairs which were done. That's why even outercourse and self-stimulation need to be cleared by your doctor.

Whoopsies. Now I regret last night and feeling worried. I have been laying in bed all morning, not in pain but definitely feeling off and not like I have been even yesterday. but also really tired b/c I didn't sleep well or long enough.
