Thank you ladies for your kind words and encouragement! It has been therapeutic to express how I feel and have thoughtful and caring feedback; I can’t say thank you enough for reading and responding. Since I wrote a day ago, Dr. Pacik also gave me some advice and for the last two nights my husband and I have been dilating with him holding the dilator in place and me pushing his hand forward. For whatever wonderful reason, this has alleviated a lot of the pain and anxiety! I hope to advance to a larger size soon.

Thank you both for your openness and desire to help your fellow women. You are both in my prayers and I am very thankful for this community 🙂 I hope anyone who feels as I have can take the same encouragement I have. Love!

I just had my procedure done today. I woke up with the giant blue one in. It wasn’t so bad just turning it and moving it in and out (without removing it entirely) but after it was out, the pain of pushing the dilators through is still causing me to panic. I am worried but still hopeful. They continue to go in, but mentally it is difficult and my husband has done it every time so far. I want to get the glass ones since I’ve read that you don’t have to press as much to get it to go in. We go back in tomorrow for our follow up.
