I think the more you think about having X for the first time again. The harder it is to just do it. So just relax ladies and have some fun. It can't be worse than it was before if it hurt back when. It can only be better. So like the NIKE commercial just do it. haha

Good evening everyone! Boy life has taken over!
Oh my gosh being off spoiled me!! I'am so not wanting to work!! My job keeps pushing and pushing more responsibilty on me. There are 12 more people in my department and none of them are expected to do as much as I do. My boss told me that she was so glad I was back because the department numbers have looked bad since I left for my surgery! Last wk was first wk back and numbers were up for the first time in 8 wks. My question WHY with 12 other employees they can't manage the numbers that it falls on my shoulders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On top of that they stuck me in a tiny corner with a makeshift desk with no air!! I'am burning hot and have no writing space on my desk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FRUSTRATED ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATED..I'am still recovering. I have to take hormones to help with hotflashes not been able to tolerate the heat and they stick me in the corner were they can't get air too!! OH my gosh I'am two seconds from quitting!! NOW MY QUESTION IS AM I BEING DIFFICULT?

The problem is not with doing it for the first time...I was released to have sex at 4 weeks. Since that time, we have had sex several times. It is always uncomfortable. I am trying and I want to enjoy it like I used to. It is frustrating to no end!
Having drinks prior, ky, and relaxation breathing and my DH massaging...and it is still uncomfortable.
Just a plain old bummer.

i don't think so....you have gone through an aweful lot lately. Noone can possibly know the feeling until they have walked a day in your shoes.
Even each one of us sisters has a different situation.
Good luck to you!

Good Evening Girls!
Well didn't get back thru all the posts but a few pages anyway! Hoping all of u with lingering aches and pains begin to feel better soon!
Looks like I'm in for another M-F of 10hr days at work...man that's a long day... this morning we already went outside on 3 breaks before it was even light out LOL, had 4 breaks in by the time the boss came in LOL! How rediculous! I'll take it right now though to make up for the difference I was getting on disability pay I guess.
To those of u hesitant to try X, I truely think you will be pleasantly surprised that it won't hurt...I thought it never hurt before hyster but I think I was feeling more pressure than I thought, now even that is gone! Me and my dh tried right around 6 weeks and it's been good ever since...don't really even think twice about it anymore...back to good quality ones, and quickies too and it's all good! So best of luck to u all when it finally happens!
Well gotta go clean up supper dishes (spaghetti, the worse) then gonna chill out in front of the boob tube for the night!
Take care all my friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening sisters. Menopause can make quite a difference to how sex feels (I'm 56, so I speak from experience). I still lubricate OK, but my vagina is less "stretchy" and that does cause some pain, at least for the first little while and then things seem to "fit" better. Some of you are going through a radical, "unnatural" menopause right now, and that might be the cause of the pain (feeling raw and bruised). I mentioned previously that I ordered the lubricant that they advertise on this site. It's excellent and feels like the "real thing". Try it, you'll like it.
I'm tired, tired, TIRED. I put in a full day at work and then went to have passport photos taken, which took way too long, and now all I want to do is fall into bed and sleep. Still, I think I have it better than many of you. I feel good aside from the fatigue, with only the occasional ache that one 200 mg ibuprofen handles just fine. I have good people at work, and live alone with no one making unreasonable demands on me. I've always been a "power sleeper" who needs her eight hours, but these days I would happily sleep 10 hours a night if only that !@#!^%$^ alarm clock didn't interrupt.
Nighty-night

Hi, sisters. I'm trying to wean myself of hystersisters. Life is so hectic. DD who is teen has lots of trouble at new high school, esp. in math. There's not much we can do but she might fail and be in algebra for four years straight. It is insane. Sad situation. Wrote teacher/counselor/consulted w/sister in law who has m.a. in spec ed and there is just nothing bec. daughter is too smart in verbal i.q. to qualify for help. Drove DD to a friend's house so they could try to put heads together and figure out the algebra. Sister in law says geometry will be worse, but half this class has jr. and sr. students in it w/the 9th graders....all who failed and failed again. What a great intro to algebra, eh? And I was at school from 7:30 a.m. until about 5 p.m. bec. I have a late class M/W....so there a very long time. It will be like this all year w/my schedule........i shouldn't complain. I know some of you do that every single day w/your jobs. I'm just used to more flexibility and always tried to work early so i could 'be there' for my kids as a single mom and the college schedule is getting less flexible or 'understanding.' I pray i can retire early............but it might be 'too late' for DD by then. She'll be done or a drop out like my other DD was. I always think it's so ironic when even a school teacher's kids can't all get thru school. Sigh. That's me.
Occasionally get a needle or knot but very rarely now. Went hoofing it w/a pal at work today for a 30 min. walk....good thing as there is no chance to walk tonite w/all the driving around; late arrival home. I'm eating out of stress, too, so i'm sure my 2 pound weight loss will soon be gone!
Well.............a good evening to you all. Thinking of you, yes, I do, during the daytime and at nite, too. I wish you all the best in healing and life.

Gemini, Law,
I have been feeling better and better since week 5. Each week I am feeling more normal. I mean, I won't do any weight lifting or cross training machines or anything yet (even though dr. released me) but I do stretch a little and walk. I didn't feel comfortable at week 6 when I was cleared for x. I am going to atlantic city this weekend (supposed to anyway) for BF b-day and it is good not to have to look at the calendar to clear the period schedule. I actually caught myself looking at it a month ago for this trip. I think that I am developing a sinus infection and that will be the only thing preventing me from going since I might be on meds and drugged up. So, I will wait and give him some nice b-day X. I hope it goes as well for me as you. Thanks.
