    Hi everyone,
    I had my botox injections six days ago. Before the procedure I was able to insert the fourth of of five dilators with some discomfort. After the procedure, I woke up with the largest (fifth) dilator inside me. It was left there for about an hour. I felt a little sore afterwards at the vaginal opening and my PT told me not to dilate with sore muscles, so I took a short break and started dilating again at day 2 post-procedure – it was quite uncomfortable, so I stopped. I’m used to the feeling of soreness, that’s why my PT told me to dilate every 2-3 days rather than every day. I tried again on day 5 (post-procedure) and this time it worked really well – I started with the third dilator and didn’t feel any pain, moved on to the fourth dilator I worked with before and this was also fine. There was some fresh blood later, but no pain and I dilated for about an hour. Today (day 6 post-procedure) I was really optimistic but got disappointed. I managed to get the fourth dilator inside, but it was uncomfortable. It felt like before the botox injections. I went down one size and even the third dilator was uncomortable when inserting and moving it. I’m quite upset – everyone told me I’m a good fit for the botox procedure. I’ve read so many success stories about women who made progress following the procedure and were able to have penetrative sex soon after. Is it possible that I’ve regressed? Has the botox not started working yet? Is it still possible for me to experience progress? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
