week 3 this coming Monday

I can't believe I made it to week 3! My post op was last Monday, wasn't too thrilled by the visit. My dr. was still out of town so I had the other guy. He just feeled my stomach, since it was vaginal, said things seemed fine. I told him I was having pain off and on,on my right side around my ovary had since surgery but he said that was fine, just could be from the surgery. He told me to come back in another 4 weeks, no lifting take it easy and have a great day. I felt like after my post op it gave the green light for the rest of my house to say oh, she is better now. Well I'll leave that to your imagination. I have had several break downs since crying over what is left of things...hope this coming week will be easier. Gave my honey bunny the leacture, twice and the kids more than twice. So we'll see. Been told to just let things go , but I can't ..so part is my fault. Now my honey bunny wants to try having an organism without sex involved. I told him no, not ready and it sounds too scary to soon.
Hope everyone else is doing okay...

I have definitely found out 3 weeks is too soon. My LSH was on AUg 21st. And yes, I tried the "O" without having sex. I had one but it sucked afterwards. I got all cramped up and felt crappy after that. I am NOT doing that again for a while. I guess I was more curious to know if I could still have one but the insides weren't very happy.

On top of that, I decided to go back to work 3 weeks post op! I only went to work Wed - Fri. I am in a Corporate Office and mostly sit at the computer. Well, I still wore my heels to work, still made my photocopies and was feeling fantastic until last night. I didnt feel well at all and kept feeling like I was going to start my period. Well this morning, I woke up and was spotting bright red blood. I was very alarmed since I had not spotting or ANYTHING of that sort since my surgery. I called the doctor on an emergency and since it's spotting I dont have to go in to see him until Monday but I am back on "house arrest" for the weekend and was already told that I can't go to work on Monday. I knwo when I see my doc he will probably keep me off for another week. That sucks b/c staying at home is VERY BORING and I thought I would enjoy my time to just do nothing. Doing nothing is harder than I thought. DH thought I was doing things too soon and I didn't agree but my body is now telling me otherwise.

Im just about to week 3 too on wednesday. Its definatley hard to just let things go Im finding it almost impossible but I just keep thinking, do you wanna tear your internal stitches? but I dont know how long that thought will hold me lol you can only take so much mess.

I have also wandered about having the big "O" without intercourse. I cant say I havent thought about it but I'm also scared.

my big thing is how do you know enough is enough and what is going on inside, I still get crampy when I think I'm doing nonething to cause crampy. Right now the big O seems so far away and yes I'm scared as well

Im trying to figure out how much is to much too its tough. My sister in law just called cause my hubby goes back to work m onday and she has made three crock pot meals and is calling merry maids tomorrow to come clean my house WOW that is helpful!

that is wonderful....sit back or lay back and enjoy!!!

I tried the big O at about 2 1/2 weeks...it was weak and I was disappointed but it didn't hurt more after than if I bent over to much. I didn't try again for a while cuz I didn't want to find out if it would always be weak. DH convinced me to try it again a week later. It was better and I didn't hurt at all afterwards.

But don't try if you don't think you are ready. Only you know how your feeling.

Best of Luck

P.S. It was fun to see a fellow Utah county gal. (I am orginally from Orem)
