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!
How hard should I pump?

#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.

Re: How hard should I pump?
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.
