That is great! I am coming up to four weeks on Monday. Swelling is less. I am looking forward to cutting out one dilation as of this Wednesday! Living on a schedule is causing us stress!

OH wow it's been 10 months already... how is everyone doing?

Hope all is going well for you! I am coming up on 5 months and things are going well. Still have some puffiness. I hope this goes away. Sometimes I feel it when I am walking. Peeing is still an issue for me. I still have the nozzle effect and am getting sprayed too often! Dilations are good and I am looking forward to one a days as of Oct 10th.

Otherwise? My relationship with my partner is strained and I find myself being very lonely way too often.

Hi,
I have been wondering how you are doing. I remember reading about your early on difficulties. Could you update on how things are at 10 months. I had my surgery in late June. Hope all is well.

It's been 13 months now... everything is pretty much really healed... I got lazy with dilation tho about 9 months in... I was supposed to dilate everyday but I would do it like every 3 days... and I think that's how I lost depth... I think I'm like 3.5 inches now... I was 4.5 inches or 4 inches before... it sucks but it's my fault... now I dilate everyday to see if I can gain it back... and I just started dilating with just orange... it's tight but it loosens up quickly but he's just the depth I'm concerned with... dr brassard is good you just need to do your dilation...

Great news! I'd lost some depth around 3-4 months in due to not being very forceful with the dilators - I was concerned above doing damage, probably for no reason.

For a month now I've been pressing quite hard and have regained one dot worth of depth so it definitely can be done. The neovagina cavity is created by "blunt dissection" essentially the surgeon uses fingers to open the space. I'm hopeful I can gain another cm or two.

Like Sadie stated, I too lost a couple dots around months 3 and 4 when everything started to tighten up. I ended up going back to #2 because it allowed me to push further. I probably regained another dot which is now 3rd on the dilators. I believe the other 4th dot was just an illusion from the swelling and as it settled appeared as if I lost one. Anyhow, try #2 again and see how it works out.

Thank you for the encouragement!!!! I'm going to Steve for that lost depth!!!

Question! I measure the depth from the entrance of the vaginal canal not where the labia majora starts... am I measuring it right? Cuz from where the majora starts to the vaginal canal I think that's 1 inch already... I'm confuse

islandgirl · November 11, 2017, 10:48:50 AM

I tend to look at the entrance of the canal. I check to see if I can see the dot! It I can, and I am on the last dot, I push a little harder. So far, still maintaining depth with all dots in. I would imagine that labia thickness varies so we would need to consider the canal approach. As for me, I still seem to be a bit puffy so mine are thicker. I suspect that this may be the case with cis women as well.

All the Best! Hugs

Yes, and no. I grew up in Canada (Saskatchewan), but I have lived in San Francisco for the last 16 years.

Omg! You grew up in Saskatchewan to?!

Awful place to grow up trans!
