Timeline for sex?

My doctor is making me wait until my check up to have sex, which isnt scheduled until almost 8 weeks post-op. He also has forbidden any sort of outer-course fun until 4-6 weeks.

Has anyone else been put on this strict of a schedule?

What sort of time frames were you given?

No sex OR outercourse for a complete 8 weeks pending my post op results..

Small price to pay to make sure I am healed correctly.. I actually plan on tacking on a few extra weeks to make absolute sure

6-8 wks till my post op, evn them he might not clear me however im waiting extra few weeks just be sure xx

My says no sex for 10-12 weeks. I'm only at week 3. The DH & I try to make the best out of it for now, but it's driving me insane .

rxdiva07,
I'm with you! The wait is killing me and I'm only 12 days post-op!

Why are they making us wait so long? My external incisions are healed and looking really good. Do internal incisions take longer to heal?

Yes it does especially if you've had your cervix removed like myself. The vaginal cuff could rip and you'll basically have to start over. I'm (we're) being very careful. I know in the end it will be worth the wait!

sitches might have healed but you could possibly still do damage by tearing stitches my philosphy is u only heal right once so the longer i wait the more i am healed, this was my dhs idea as welll as mine, and to be blunt...am gagging! Lool but will be worth waiting for knowing there will be minimal risk of damage as opposed to a possible setback and more months of waiting (my virginity is creeping back lol) just my opinion tho xx

Yep me too...Dr has said NONE until 8 weeks...have my post op check at 6 weeks...he didn't say no fun but, just no sex

meant ur external stitches may of healed but inernally we have anything from 30-300+ stitches which take longer to heal xx

my doc said 6 weeks, at my 6 week check we got the all clear.
