we waited about 5 weeks but I had terrible brusing
U have to do what is best for your own bodies everyone heals at a different rate

Just take it slow and easy if you cant wait any longer

My doc said 2 weeks, so we waited 2 weeks to the day, but trust your body. If you don't feel ready, wait.

I waited about a week. As long as your comfortable. I suggest listen to your body.... if your slow and careful, it worked for me

I'm 2 1/2 years out. My husband is getting tired of that excuse!

LOL! I'm just kiding. I've found other ex uses since then........

Seriously, you will know when it right. Just be careful and tk it easy. I think officially my surgeon said weeks.......

Thanks everyone. I know it's kind of a "personal" subject. My husband keeps dropping hints and it was starting to make me feel bad. Don't get me wrong, he is understanding, but I know he's getting impatient, too. I am not hurting anymore, just had some muscle soreness the last couple of days and my incisions are itchy as hell! I appreciate everyone's insight!

You can always give him a helping hand until your body is ready!

Lcat4, you just made me giggle.... But she is right there are other ways to handle your husband. As a women its always hard at a time like this because we can put it off fairly easy when we are stressed or going through any medical issues, but men are the opposite, when they go through hard things, they seem to need the release even more.....

Good luck and listen to your body... :)

helping hand....great minds think alike!!! lol.....

echoing, just listen to your body, you'll know!

OOPS just reread. I think my surgeon officially said 2 weeks.............................

But like everyone said you'll know.

PS In the meantime Tell your hubby sex is like poker. You don't need a partner when you have a good hand................

Don't forget he can still satisfy you as well!!

I love the responses to your post, especially the poker analogy. I believe that I was told 2 weeks, but I would wait until you feel ready.

Our surgeon said whenever we felt "up to it".... so it was about 8 days.... LOL....

Listen to your body

=)

My surgeon said whenever I was ready and felt up to it...Ummm, it was like 2 or 3 days after getting home from the hospital (5 days post-op)!! But we took it really slow and my hubby was super cautious and careful not to hurt me....sad thing is...I initiated it, and he kept asking me if I was sure!! lol!
But you have to listen to your body....there are many ways to be intimate w/out pulling on your operation area....be creative...it is fun!! :o)

Ohh heck my doc released me full duty LOL at one and a half weeks out. Said I had NO restrictions. I guess I was lucky incisions healed quick and pain was pretty much gone by then. My doc feels that exercise and movement is best to heal quicker and stronger. You should check with your doc tho they are all diff and all have diff opinions.
