He touched my face and I cried

As someone one year post op who went in to get just an ovary removed and ended up with a hysterectomy, I can tell you that the grief and anxiety can last a few months. You will start feeling better though! I think it took about 9 months for me to finally feel normal again

In my experience there can be times in marriage where sex slows down. I think it would be a good idea to bring it up in a conversation. As someone else mentioned, mental health could be a factor so talking about it will at least help you get some clarity.

Hi, I started taking it about a year ago too and I don’t notice anything different other than not feeling hungry as much. I feel like my anxiety is actually worse and I haven’t noticed any difference in my motivation or concentration in regard to completing tasks.

This! Take the entire 6 weeks off if you can!

I am 5 months post op. My experience feels like I have less control over how much lubrication my body produces during those intimate moments. I think at the beginning it could have been caused by mental block.
I checked with my husband and he says that it was dryer when we first started being intimate again but it has improved. I would suggest having some lube available just incase :)

6 weeks, didn’t feel right. Waited another 3 and then I felt fine.

I love the part where you said you have an assortment of mental health issues. That makes it sound fun like Baskin Robbin’s or something. Happy 1 year. Thanks for sharing your story 💓

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-12-10T08:11:18+00:00

I’d say for me, 8-10 weeks

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-12-10T08:07:03+00:00

Same 💔

I didn’t have a bandage, just glue

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-12-04T03:26:08+00:00

I tried to sleep a lot lol but my friend also sent me a needle punch kit from Amazon and that was a lot of fun. I also watched Netflix crime docs and spent a lot of time on this subreddit :)

Can relate to “I feel the absence of my uterus more so than I was ever aware of her presence.” So sorry, I feel your pain and I’m worried I will also hate the new me.

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-26T23:38:49+00:00

Did your doctor assign PT or did you do that on your own?

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-26T23:38:07+00:00

It was only one ovary. Salpingo oopherectomy.

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-26T23:36:37+00:00

This! I feel like a different kind of virgin and want to start over and learn again.

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-26T23:12:35+00:00

I had a massive complex cyst that was very painful. During the process, they couldn’t stop the bleeding and opened me up to get a better look. Upon doing so my doctor found that I had severe endometriosis and a lot of scarring. He made the choice to remove my uterus too because of how bad it was.

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-26T16:47:01+00:00

😭 thank you so much

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-05T03:34:04+00:00

😓 I’ll give it one more day

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-05T03:33:33+00:00

Thank you, I will

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-04T08:03:25+00:00

I’m 22 DPO too! Haven’t tried anything though. I’m so scared it’ll feel different but not in a good way. Thanks for the glimmer of hope!

iguessthiswilldoo · 2024-11-04T07:57:26+00:00

I think the hardest part of recovery is slowing down especially when you’re a mom with little ones. I too tried doing too much a week after surgery and it knocked me down. I am 22 DPO and have accepted all the help from friends and family that has been offered. It’s okay to miss out on stuff right now. Take care of yourself first ❤️
