How hard should I pump?

2 weeks post-op...pain going down daily...

Can currently pump to about 0.5" of my pre-implant size. At that point, the pump gets hard and even if I try really hard, it's tough to get more pumps out.

At 2 weeks, I'm nervous of trying to press down too hard on the pump. Think it's a good idea to keep going slow and steady and as time goes on, should probably be able to creep back some of that 0.5"? I realize it's only been under 15 days...

Thanks!

#1, Follow the doctor's instructions.
#2, Cycle up - cycle down...repeat.
You are early in the process. If you need, use both hands. The pump with soften over time.

you are way early into the process...it get easier to pump as it breaks in. but once the cylinders are at max full --then the bulb gets really hard and wont pump much more.
