7 wks post op - did the deed and all is well. There really is hope girls! :)

Sorry ahead of time that this is a little personal... However I have to say that this is one of the biggest issues I was concerned about after surgery. So here goes...

As I've said before, I had a great sex life prior to surgery. However after surgery, I started reading about women who ended up having to have major surgery all over again after having sex (some even after being cleared from their doctor). So I was literally frightened to have sex again.

My boyfriend was 100% supportive of me, and he was even willing to wait another month until he was assured I was 200% healed from surgery... Now mind you, I was actually cleared from my oncologist over 2 weeks ago to have sex, as long as we took it slow. However I just didn't feel ready at the time. So I waited a little longer...

Well, Tuesday night I just couldn't take it anymore! LOL... It had been almost 7 weeks, and I really felt ready, although I will admit I was still nervous. Also, as I've said before, my boyfriend is well-endowed - especially in length - so that made me doubly nervous. So we took things slowly, but all went very well. I couldn't believe it, but I even orgasmed. I was so afraid that I would bleed or something afterwards, but all was perfectly fine. I was even shocked that I didn't need any extra lubrication (although I am on Vivelle, so I'm sure that helped).

Since then, we've even tried a couple of other positions, and as long as I am careful, I don't have pain. I even pulled off my "signature" move (nope, can't give those secrets out! LOL) and all was well.

So to those of you out there who are worried (like I was), I just wanted to post this to let you know that you can look forward to sex again!!!! Yes, some problems may arise, but I would guess to say that it's not the "norm" for complications to arise.

Obviously I'm not a dr, so ALWAYS talk to your doctor. But hopefully this helps give you some hope for a great sex life again!!!

thank you for your encouragement I really needed that today, I am 6 weeks post op already and my doctor released me 3 weeks ago, but I waited a little longer just like you did, but now I think its time...

Good luck to you then! Pray all goes well... I really think you do know when it's time!

I am 6 weeks post op and was cleared from my Dr yesterday. DH and I tried last night and I was really nearvous. I still have a tender spot on the inside of the vagina or was it just tender form the DR examining me.We will try again. We took it slow but I had to stop sooner than I wanted. Still need alittle time to get back in the swing of things.

as long as you are careful everything works out fine.
i still have a little pain with certain positions, and still DH mentions the mystery stitch up in there that pokes him occasionally!!
glad you had a good time!!

I really want to hear about your signature move!!!!


Only kidding. Glad that things are going well for you.

Downyocean but you can call me Kay.

You don't know how many of us you gave hope to today!
Congratulations - it is wonderful to hear of such SUCCESS stories
