    It took us a lot longer to get going again (I had a nasty multiple tear that headed off in a few different directions at once) but after a few months went to the drs and she gave me these oestrogen pills (to pop in there) which made things a lot more comfortable. Apparently if you're breastfeeding it keeps your oestrogen levels low and so the tissue can end up thinner and painful. So if you have problems don't delay, see your doctor as they do have things that can help!!

    I had a 2nd degree tear and we have still not DTD (nearly 5 months later). We have tried. My OB told me at my 6 week check up that things were looking a bit tight down there. Just the way the scar tissue healed I guess. Unlucky me. :sad:

    I've decided I'm going to have to see him again to be re-cut and re-stitched unfortunately.
