Alexra 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Just as soon as you feel up to it... if that means 2 days after surgery... you go girl At least those are my surgeons directions....... other Dr's may differ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreaday 0 Posted April 12, 2006 you are not a freak.....don't worry. i wondered the same thing. the best answer i can give you is whenever you are comfortable enough to have sex. be careful. go slow. stop if it hurts. that's what worked for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msheavensent 1 Posted April 12, 2006 Ok I cannot explain what sex is, you guys are going to have to pick up the phone and call your parents, siblings, or bestfriends so they can tell u about the birds and the bee's ! I'm sorry I just can't explain that and I wanna believe yall are joking, but if not i'm sorry ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricia K. 0 Posted April 12, 2006 My surgeon's directions were the same as Alexra's. If I remember correctly, we waited for 3-4 days. Just make sure you hold the palm of your hand over your port site while in the missionary position. You'll understand why if you don't. :biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted April 12, 2006 I wanna believe yall are joking, but if not i'm sorry !I've been married over 8 years, if I don't know what sex is yet, then DH is a much more patient man than I give him credit for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lookingout 0 Posted April 13, 2006 um this might sound bad, but what happens? And how large is your incision? I am curious...Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morsaille 4 Posted April 13, 2006 The port incision (at least mine) is about 2.5" long. It is the one that hurts. I barely noticed the others. It twinges if you shift or bend. A twinge isn't nearly as fun as it sounds. Putting pressure on it is a great help. We used a pillow between in missionary, I was OK on my knees or side after 7 days. Back to FULL activity a month later. winks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gadgetlady 4 Posted April 13, 2006 My dr didn't give specific directions, other than "when you're comfortable". I think we waited about a week. I'm a little over 2 months out now and still feel a bit of discomfort -- not pain -- in the missionary position. Port just feels weird and I have to press on it.

missnikki 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Seems like someone got to the question before me. That was one of the first questions I was asked, how long we needed to wait?:think I guess they figured better get it while I can.:help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
