Sex After Surgery

Had kinda started a thread earlier however I just want to know what folks are experiencing and how soon are you experiencing sex after surgery?

I was 5 days post op and it was incredably helpful with gas and cramping the next day. Positions can be a little tough but worth it! ????

I'm actually terrified to resume sexual activity given the chances of getting pregnant rises incredibly. My surgeon says to stop BC pills 6 weeks before surgery and for 4 weeks after, so I'm a little hesitant about having sex again. I couldn't imagine just having surgery and then finding out your preggers. Omfgggg.

The have lots of information out there, but birth control pills are less effective because they ate controlled through the gut/stomach, sois the implant in the arm. They recommend something that works with the lower bowels like Nuva ring and/or IUD. The patch is more effective than pills.

I had the mirena iud put in about 6 weeks before surgery and all doctors were good with it! :)

I had no idea what the sugar intake on semen was...I wonder what the Protein is like if any? lol

Barely any, like 1-3g of protein per tablespoon

As long as you're comfortable have sex whenever you're ready. NOTE my surgeon told me that for 3 months post-op many girls are much more fertile and it's much more likely to get pregnant' date=' so please be careful! Since we can't be on birth control (bc of blood clots) for a month post-op wearing a condom is a must. Also be careful with swallowing, apparently there's 15g/sugar per tablespoon, no one told me and I dumped! Happy humping :']

I have the depo shot does that work as well' date=' and can I have the shot before surgery??[/quote']

Yes, depo works, but it also causes weight gain and hair loss, its not peoples first choice. I was on it for about a year.

I like the depo shot, haven't gained any weight or lost any hair.
