Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 When I had my post-op appointment three weeks after my myo, my doctor gave us the green light to have sex again, as long as we used birth control (I use a diaphragm). He said we should wait three months before trying to conceive.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I had a 2 week post-myo appt. last Wed. and my Doc told me 4 weeks. But to take it slow. Based on the different responses it sounds like each Doc has their own feeling and maybe it has to do with the location and size. She also told me to wait at least 6 mo before TTC. Hope this helps > > At 11:02 PM 2/14/2004 -0600, you wrote: > >I'm trying to distract myself from my current > challenges pre-surgery, and > >was trying to search the archives for info. on when > you can resume sex, > >and other sex questions, post- myo.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 My doctor said 5-6 weeks. I know how you feel but try to concentrate on how good you are going to feel with the fibroids out. I really feel like I worried way too much before my surgery...the day or so before I just started to accept it and told myself that I had the easy part just being out under general (which did scare me though) and that the professionals had to do all the work and they were under stress to do it right and make sure I came out all right. Try to relax and pamper yourself and do the things that make you feel good before surgery. Also, it helps to be around positive people. I know it's really hard but it will get better.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 My GYN said no intercourse for two weeks after surgery. I had meant to ask him if that meant no sex at all (no orgasms), but I forgot. We went back to sexual activity after about two and a half weeks (at my instigation not DH's!) but didn't have intercourse until 3 1/2 weeks after. It was kind of uncomfortable, though not what I'd call painful, and my abdomen felt strange after orgasm. It got better and easier each time after that. Honestly, though, it didn't feel " normal, " or at least as good as normal, until last week, about 8 weeks after surgery. One interesting observation: pre-myo, , uterine contactions during and after orgasm made my fibroid much more noticeable. Post-myo, it's nice to not have that unwanted third party!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi ! How are you doing? Thot I would throw in here too. At my 2- week post-op appointment my doc said I could do anything I wanted that didn't hurt or make me overly tired, including sex. As it turned out, I was hesitant to try it out that soon as I was still having some abdominal discomfort, so we waited til 5 weeks. At that point it was totally fine (excellent really). I probably could have tried it out earlier, no problem, which was how I felt about everything. That is, when I started running (slow & short) at 4 weeks, I felt I could have done it earlier, same with yoga. Best wishes to you!
