Cleared to have sex but still having discharge

My surgeon told me at my four wk check up that I could resume sex in two weeks. Which is fine by me...but the husband is anxious and asking if Ill be ready to go when I hit the six week mark. I am willing to try but I am concerned that the small amout of discharge which is a light rusty color is a sign that I am still healing . Id like to know if any of you were cleared while still experiencing spotting or dishcarge.

Re: Cleared to have sex but still having discharge

I think the discharge is a sign your not fully healed yet. I had a discharge ( looked like a tea or cola stain on the TP when I wiped) when I went in for my 6 week checkup my doc did an internal. She said the discharge was seepage from my vaginal cuff and it wasn't healed yet. She said wait 2 more weeks to have sex, but wait longer if the discharge was still there. She told me a scary story about a patient of hers from the past that busted open her vaginal cuff at 6 weeks from sex and needed emergency surgery.My discharge didn't end until 9 and 1/2 weeks, and I waited one more week past that before having sex. I know your impatient and that is normal. Your DH needs to know your risk. If your not healed and you go ahead and have sex it could end up being a horrible experience for you both and cause you to both have to wait even longer.I'd stall till the discharge is gone!

No, I wasn't cleared. I just reached week 7 and now have just a tiny bit of discharge every other day. I had my check-up last Friday and I was told I have another 4 weeks to go before I'm cleared.
