Re: Post-Myo Sex restrictions

[Guest guest]

It's so strange...my doctor specifically told me no restrictions on sex,

and I asked her twice, when we were discussing having the surgery and when

she released me from the hospital; both times she said we could have sex

when I felt up to it (but no getting pregnant for 3 to 6 months!) We

waited about 2 weeks. We were very very careful and we didn't do it again

for another week or so. For several weeks I found myself putting my hand

on my belly to keep him from rubbing it (my muscles were *really* sore).

I also wasn't given restrictions on baths or tampons, but I didn't ask

about them since I don't use either (I waited until my mother was there to

take a shower, I was nervous about falling).

Sex is better in some ways -- some positions were painful before surgery

and are less so now. Some things haven't changed (lack of orgasm, for

example). I don't know what do about it at this point; I suspect a

hormonal imbalance, but doctors I've spoken with only recommend therapy,

which helped a lot of things, but not lack of orgasm.

I will be 6 weeks post myo tomorrow, YAAA! I have not

lifted anything heavy, have not had sex, have not had

a bath and have not exercised, per docs orders. The

thing I am most looking forward to, is finally being

able to lift my 20 month old baby! She weighs 29 lbs

now and I am not even sure the doc will let me do

that, yet. I am a 98lb weakling.
