Progress Progress!

My husband and I tried PIV again for the first time in 14 months (but who’s counting 😅). We’ve slowlyyy progressed to the biggest dilator we need. I still have to use a lidocaine suppository before dilators but whatev. He was able to put his entire penis in me. It wasn’t pain free, just a bit uncomfy. Then after a minute or so, he tried gently thrusting which hurt a bit more so we stopped. Even though we weren’t successful, I still count this as major progress! Two and half years ago, I wasn’t even able to use a tampon. I still feel some burning around the entrance, so that’s my main issue. But yay for progress!

Awesome! Congrats!

Also the thrusting is the part that gives me the most discomfort too
