Pelvic rest can suck it. TMI?

yuengling58 · April 2011

The title pretty much says it all.. I'm 11 days post D&C today and my follow up isn't until next Tuesday. My paperwork says pelvic rest until follow up in two weeks. DH swears the Dr. said 10 days.

TMI but we haven't since a few days before the m/c so this is officially the longest we've gone without since we've known each other. The sexual tension in our house is out of control.

Ugh. Ditto. We had been at least a week before the doctor's appointment, then the doctor's appointment (with a pap) was too close, so we couldn't. And now we really can't.

It is kind of a relief that I feel like I want to though. A little part of me returns.

This, exactly. I've felt like such a shadow of myself.. very zombie-like since we found out. I can tell the hormones are dropping - my hair is starting to shed more plus my boobs feel pre-pg. It's such a weird feeling though to be starting to feel how I was pre-pg. Plus, I just miss being close with DH and sharing that with him.

hahaha. Pregnancy and everything thereafter has ruined my sex life. I was too sick and then too on bed rest and then too recovering from major surgery. I was told definitely not in the first 2 weeks, they would prefer if I waited until my 6 week post pardum... We split the difference, I couldn't handle waiting anymore. It probably would have been more enjoyable had we waited the 6 weeks, but it was still very nice. and I agree, it is kinda reassuring when you realize that despite all the pain and grief sex has casused, you still want to...

FYI my pelvic rest was for 2 weeks post D&C or a week after I stopped spotting/bleeding. It all ended up being 2 weeks anyway. I would definitely hold out if I were you. I read the risk for getting an infection is higher if you don't wait the 2 weeks.

Well yeah, we're going to wait until we get the all clear from the OB.. I'm just biitching.

I get it! We hadn't had sex since 1 week before I got my BFP. I had spotting all throughout my pregnancy so we were on pelvic rest the whole time. 2 months of no sex = hell hahah!!

My doc just cleared us yesterday (still spotting slightly, but she said it was ok for us to resume regular activities as long as it wasn't period-like blood, YMMV). It was definitely good to get back in the groove of things, the only time we'd had such a long time of nothin' was when we've been travelling years ago when we first dated.

If you're not 100% on the dates, you could call the doc to see! It did help me/us a lot to feel close like that again, and I agree with the PPs, it helps that I even wanted to at all.

Looking at your sig it looks like we found out on the same day (4/7) and had our D&C on the same day (4/8). I honestly barely spotted - just very sporadically. I'm probably going to call at some point this week.. I really hope we don't need to wait until next Tuesday.

I'll say, I'd rather have met you under different similarities! Are you going to TTC again and if so, how long are you going to wait? I'm waiting for just one AF, and then will give it another go. I'm feeling a lot better emotionally than a week ago, but it still makes me teary when I think too much about it.
