Hey All,
One week has passed since the insertion of the Copper 'T'. So you know what that means! My partner and I attempted to have intercourse after waiting our one-week grace period after the insertion process. I felt no pain, and no discomfort with intercourse. My partner and I were conscious of the potential for my cervix being sore or tender from the procedure, and we have continued the use of condoms as a barrier method. Condoms are used in the second week following the insertion of the Copper 'T' as a preventative method of developing an infection. When I visit Dr. Brown four weeks from now for a check-up appointment, he will examine me for infection or possible infamation that would be caused by infection. I am feeling healthy and strong this morning, and have no sensation from the Copper 'T'- so I am happy and confident about it.
My partner and I had a talk last night about our experience of having to find alternative forms of intimacy over the course of this past week. We spent our week drinking tea and dancing together in our kitchen, cuddling, giving and recieving back massages, and we even took a few naps together. My experience was that finding new forms of intimacy, and re-visiting some of those lost gems has me feeling more attracted to my partner,and very excited about the love that we share. Sometimes the act of intercourse leaves me feeling unfulfilled in an emotional sense, and it is the act of being held or just being touched through massage that I crave, rather than sex.

It has been an interesting week. I have felt cramping, I have spotted and bled, I've wanted to be intimate in ways that I could not, and I have rediscovered some of the real beauty in human connection with my partner.
Here is a good link to show you how to use both male a female condoms EFFECTIVELY. The Copper 'T' cannot protect you from STI/STD's, so it's important to remember to use barrier methods in combination with the Copper 'T' if you change sexual partners, or if you are not familiar with the sexual health of your new partner.
