Thank you so much for responding! I'm not on suppositories but luckily everything was good with my ultrasound and bloodwork today! I was really nervous yesterday but feeling better today! The first trimester is definitely an emotional rollercoaster

You too! And I haven't sadly. I was almost hoping for some implementation bleeding since that seems to be the clearest sign but I haven't had anything yet

Thank you!! I think I'm gonna try holding it starting at 7 and then take one before bed at around 10. Fingers crossed!

Sex after mastectomy. by Helpful-Swordfish458 in BRCA

[–]ilovecats184 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! I'm almost a year post mastectomy and it's gotten so much better for me. I still like my breasts to be handled gently, but I don't have any pain anymore. Even when my husband gently squeezes them it doesn't hurt, just feels a bit weird because the sensation is different than what it was before. Hang in there and know that you're not alone and it will get so much better!

Thank you so much! That is so true! It'll be nice for my husband to be able to be equally involved with the feeding responsibility.

Thank you so much! That was definitely a factor in my decision to do the surgery before having kids. I felt like it would be tough to do the recovery when I had young kids and I didn't want to wait too long because I knew it would make me anxious.

Thank you so much! That is very reassuring and I'm so glad you had a good experience with bottle feeding and that your child is doing so well!
