When I had mine I had an infection. 6 weeks almost 7 and I still have infections. Hang in there... I was not on antibiotics until after week 2, so I think that is why I am still having complications.

Hello Firstly sorry your in pain and having problems, , today is only day 3 , give it time , I started to feel human in week two x just let your body heal in it's on special way x wish you better
Hi Marilyn,
Glad that you're home, but sorry to learn that you're having problems. You came through the surgery and you're back at home, so you can start to heal.
Three different antibiotics is a lot to take! If you can tolerate it, have someone get you some yogurt so that you can counteract the effects of the antibiotics in your gut. Because of the infection your outer and inner stitches may take longer to heal. Inner stitches take at least 6 months. Pleae be gentle with yourself and take it very, very easy! If you start to spike a fever, head to the ER!
Am thinking of you, and will keep you in my prayers! xx

HI lynda or anyone that can help, do i have to go on hrt , i dont want to , i want to try to do with out
If you don't want to go on HRT, don't. Let your body settle for a while. You'll know soon enough if you can do it. Also, if you are overweight, remember that the fat in your body creates estrogen, too.
Best of luck, let me know how you do!
Hi all home again, I have been back in hospital for the last three days, on iv antibiotics bombarded with them because they weren't working, massive oral doses, been so ill I can't believe it, had to start drinking 5 ml at a time and still being sick omg, still have to go to emergency clinic tomorrow xx
Oh, how horrible! From what you wrote I can only conclude that you got an infection! Praying for you.
When you feel up to it, please let me know what happened. xx
