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.

    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.

    Phyl 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 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
