Just sayin'... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1279838 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:31:19 +0000 knittylady 1279838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhh, nope. I think we waited till somewhere around 12 weeks. I was terrified but it was all good ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1279813 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:26:50 +0000 Mrs. J 1279813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are ready, but I'm still bleeding at almost 4 weeks pp, so I wanted to wait for that to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1279093 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:26:50 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1279093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: I feel like it might be ok now for me too if it wasn't for the PP bleeding still going on (it's pretty light but still)-- but I'm still SO TIRED! I also have to figure out the birth control situation... my sister in law's grandma was pregnant at her 6 week PP check-up (yeah, a long time ago...) and stories like that scare me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278796 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:25:17 +0000 erwoo 1278796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are brave! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278791 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:21:00 +0000 78h2o 1278791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HELL NO!</p> <p>My stitches did not dissolve until 7 or 8 weeks and they were always poking me...plus I had pretty heavy bleeding until 8 or 9 weeks pp. I remember my OB talking about BC at the 6 wk appointment and I about laughed in his face. Um, did you not just see the train wreck down there?! I can't remember when we first tried? 3 or 4 mo pp? I remember it hurt a lot and we had to take it slooooow at first... It got better though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278789 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:20:02 +0000 JessKas 1278789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two stitches and my bleeding stopped by 2.5 weeks and we DTD then. With the help of some lube it was all good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278538 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 22:30:34 +0000 jetsa 1278538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: we dtd at 4 weeks. No harm no foul. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278465 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:35:22 +0000 loveisstrange 1278465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did sometime between 3 and 4 weeks, even though I had an episiotomy. It was a fail, but it didn't hurt or anything, we were both raring to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278451 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:31:51 +0000 chrispygal 1278451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were about 5 weeks out and DYING to DTD. I had a c-section though so we probably could have done it sooner. It was great. That was back when I had a sex drive. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278422 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:15:18 +0000 Periwinkle 1278422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm impressed with many of you! It took us a long, long time to get back into the swing of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278377 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:58:09 +0000 KT326 1278377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it at 8 weeks but just didn't feel ready. Tried at 12 weeks and it was an utter failure. Tried again at 16 weeks and though it wasn't a complete failure it was not enjoyable for me. It didn't stop hurting until a month after I weaned, didn't matter what kind of lube we used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278375 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:57:59 +0000 shellio 1278375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a C section and it was 4 weeks. It was painful for a while though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278368 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:56:13 +0000 MrsF 1278368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No thank you. We waited at least 12 weeks, maybe more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278363 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:53:39 +0000 matador84 1278363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was asking for it right at 6 weeks, but I still had stitches that hadn't dissolved. I was so busted up and bruised, I couldn't imagine prior to six! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278359 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:52:24 +0000 Bao 1278359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! No, it was more like 11 weeks. I had tons of stitches though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278358 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:51:18 +0000 erinpye 1278358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HELL NO! Hahaha! Tried at maybe 9-10 weeks pp, tried a few more times, weren't successful until 6 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278091 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:00:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 1278091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't cleared at 6 wks and still had a healing episiotomy/tear at 8 wks...we didn't until 13 wks, but I remember a bee here doing it at like 2 wks with no issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278043 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:50:35 +0000 sarac 1278043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwive's rule was no sex while still bleeding. Mine stopped fairly early, so we gave it a try. It wasn't totally comfortable until 6 weeks or more, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1278005 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:38:51 +0000 HabesBabe 1278005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still bleeding/spotting until like, 8 weeks.... so heck no. 17 days?! I don't think I was able to sit properly at that point. More power to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1277978 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:29:12 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1277978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to pop in and say I think you pre-6 weeks pp people are INSANE! Although I know DH wishes we were in that camp... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1277972 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:27:16 +0000 mrsjyw 1277972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we dtd right before my pp check. i had an episiotomy and didn't want to risk the healing process before then-- i did feel fine/ready before then (i had minimal bleeding) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1277952 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:17:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1277952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dtd at five weeks pp. Would have earlier but I was worried about infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp/page/2#post-1277951 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:17:37 +0000 Running Elley 1277951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 it was 4 weeks PP I think? I had minor minor tearing and just a couple of stitches.</p> <p>I'm almost 3 weeks PP now and I've been ready for the past week! I'm still having some spotting though and we decided to wait until it stops. Booooo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp#post-1277941 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:14:33 +0000 Sapphiresun 1277941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Goodness no.

You are brave! I was terrified of the possibility of pain so we didn't end up having sex until 5 months pp!

But now at 16 wks pp it feels great again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-sex-before-6-weeks-pp#post-1277579 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:21:58 +0000 lawbee11 1277579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Umm and how about the risk of infection?? You're not even supposed to use a tampon. That just doesn't even seem very smart. </p>
