So I know for some of you ladies this is the furthest thing from your mind.... I understand that was me until recently - but I'm now 6 1/2 weeks post op (still waiting post OP check) and well am starting to think when I should jump back on the horse (so to speak) had no discharge for over a week now in general feel ok - only feel sore or "bulgy" if I over do it- should I wait for my check up appointment or if I am feeling brave ( with a couple of glasses of vino) should I just go for it ???
There's no harm in trying deborah. A lot of consultants prefer you to have had sex before your post op check. It's a sign that everything is getting back to normal.
I thought about it...7 weeks later, but because I can feel a sharp stitch inside I decided against it!
😤😤😤😤😤😤😤omg sex at 6wreks😄😄😄😄😄😄 I don't xxxx think so hahahahaha
Hi Deborah,
I am 8 weeks post op for A&P repair, and not even thinking of penetrative sex as yet, even though the swelling has on the whole went down and hard bumpy dry feeling is now smother and feeling more normal.
I'm probably more scared now, but will definitely buy some KY gel before my consultant appointment at 11/12 weeks and have a go, but not looking forward to that at all.
One of those things that can't be rushed until you feel ready yourself.

Why do women disappear when we want to know this bit? ?@!! I want to hear happy endings when it comes to sex life post op. I'm sure I am not the only one? ??
So 3 LARGE glasses of wine later ....... And it was totally fine - bit tender and apprehensive at the start but luckily after nearly 7 weeks - didn't last long 😂 Seriously it was all good but I know this is quite personal thing so some ladies might be uncomfortable with me posting intimate detail - however if anyone wants to ask me anything please do - am more than happy to answer -
Oh. glad it all went ok......might have to wait till my sharp stitch disappears but think I can manage that!
I have just had reply sent to moderator,,,,dont know why but well done ladies!
Its the moderators decision not to show a message.I have had a few and said nothing wrong.x
What's that all about? Just a normal reply...can we have an answer please
My computer is really playing up today.....doctors at 9.5o so have written a list of questions...how are you today?
I OK, very afraid to even touch down there.the thought of the sex thing gives me shivers lol.
Mind you I'm only a week sincevther surgery. X
Hi welshgirl/eve,
The posts from you both that went for moderation were because of the bug listed in the FAQ below which is linked to when a post is in moderation.
Until this is fixed and if this happens again all I can suggest is either wait for me to approve them or repost making sure there are spaces between every sentence.
Regards,
Alan
For us ladies just had op ouch lol all in good time I say😊😊
That's OK, no problem at all.you do as good job!
Oh I was the same....I started crying when I had to have a swab taken for Thrush and I felt like I stunk...it made me feel very down....The smell has almost gone now but i am left with this sciatica that doctor is referring me to a physio for.....i have cold sores etc so must be run down but never mind, I am off to Spain in 3 weeks so just hope I feel ok...xx
Hi eve,
Hope your sciatica lmproves soon before you head off.
you say you are going to Spain in 3 weeks time, how far post op will you be then and how soon (post op) can you get insurance to cover you ?
Hope you enjoy Spain,
Phyl xx💖
Hi Phyllis
I will be 10 weeks by then,,,no probs with insurance but hubby has had melanoma so that puts insurance up xx
Hi eve,
Sorry to hear hubby had melanoma, hope he is doing OK.
That's good to know that insurance is no problem from 10 weeks, I hoped off to Costa del sol 3 years ago around 3 months post op, never gave it a thought last time.
Hopefully all going well at work once I return will get away at end June beg July. If not will have to wait till school October week!
Thanks Eve,
Phyl xx
