You both are doing great!! Glad to hear it 🙂 Once you are dominating #5, which KatieG07 you are and 23years it sounds like you will be soon, I think you can definitely try to move to #6. Even if you can only get the tip in and just leave it there for a while, then try to push a little more once you relax again. And remember, KEGELS! And lotssss of lube! Distract yourself by doing other things, too; reading a book, watching TV, browsing the internet, talking to your partner, etc. I am not sure if Dr. P would recommend this but if you have some of the lidocaine gel left over, use that with some lube the first few times that you try #6, so it will numb the area a little bit. Once you are able to successfully get #6 in, you’ll be amazed at how easily it starts to go in, I promise! Be kind to yourself, believe in yourself, but don’t be discouraged if you can’t get the #6 in right away. Keep trying, you WILL get there!
