Dh and I could barely wait until I was cleared at 4-6 weeks (and once we didn’t wait, oops). I was nervous the first few times, and it was painful, but made each time got better. I’m so glad we dtd sooner rather than later.

While my husband and I occasionally have moments of cuddling or kissing, I probably feel 85% ready to get back to sex. I’ll definitely wait until the discharge has cleared up and I feel 100% down there, even if we have about 2 weeks left until we’re in the clear.

Attempting to have sex was so painful that I ended up having to have surgery to fix everything. It was 7 months before we had sex again. I was still having some pain nearly a year later so I started pelvic therapy to relax the muscles. It is a lot better now.
