| odor remianing a month after yeast infection? |
[11 Jul 2009|02:49pm] |
in the beginning of june i got what had to have been a yeast infection ( i know it had to have been one because they were a side effect of a med i had just started, and a day or two prior i got talked into letting something sugary be put inside me). i started a monistat 7 day treatment kit, and then switched to a 1 day kit. on the 10th i posted here about the swelling/pressure i felt the day after using the one day kit. later that day it went away and i was symptom free. a few days after that i had sex and was fine, my guy even said i was nice that day. a few days after having sex i noticed bright green discharge in my underwear (which had green in them, so that might be nothing). besides an odor there was nothing else odd going on before i got my period. now my only "symptom" is that i still smell kind of musky down there, where as before i never had a scent that i could detect.
can anyone take a guess as to what caused it or what i can do to help it? i'm embarrassed to have sex now because of it.

| fitting room sex? |
[11 Jul 2009|12:23pm] |
my casual sex friend both like the thrill of almost being caught during sex. so far we've done it with people in the next room and in a cemetery. his new big thing is wanting to do it in a fitting room. i checked the memories, but couldn't seem to find any tips on how to pull it off. i know i'd obviously have to try and make very little noise, but besides that we aren't sure how to go about it without getting caught. any good places to go? positions that work? any other tips or tricks? he wants to do it at my work, because i'm familiar with thoe fitting room, they wouldn't check to see how i'm doing, and would never suspect me of doing the dirty there, but i'm still not sure it's a good idea...
oh, and other quick one. one of his "spots" is his ear. he's told me before that if my mouth goes near it my pants are coming off whether i like it or not, but i don't know what to do! his lobes are stretched to over an inch, so sucking/biting those doesn't seem like a good idea, and i don't want to end up licking his brain or something. help a girl out?

i can't believe it.
the last relationship was horrible, but the sex was the most brilliant intimacy i've ever felt.. it turned out to be a constant cycle of fighting and much love-making?
so now i'm falling in love with someone who has never given me great sex. and i'm getting worried. moreso looking back now... when the first night i threw myself at him and he took me to his house... he didn't insist on doing the deed? or in the morning? i mean, didn't seem that interested? or what?
wow
i think i am acceptably attractive. and have always been told so.
OK replay in bed:
he fingers me...i get turned on, wow...yes...he's doing it...i touch back...he keeps touching me forever until i nearly get bored...i retract...we'll either just stop or go from there...and if we go from there the rythym is all off and then he cums after minutes.
HA
it is that bad.
he has said he has never had that problem, he is overthinking too much in bed, and it is not attractive. :( he has also said i intimidate him.
am i doing something wrong...ANY advice???
will it last...can i give him a better chance...should i talk to him more? (everything else is great)
THANK YOU!!!!!!

| Help for dry skin on breasts? |
[11 Jul 2009|02:03pm] |
For as long as I can remember, the skin on my breasts has been very dry. Flaking, peeling, crocodile skin. It doesn't hurt or itch at all--it's just dry. The dryness is primarily on the lower parts of the breast and the inner parts (like, if you push them together, the area where they touch each other).
I decided to do something about it this summer. I started moisturizing the trouble areas intensely--with really thick lotions and even pure Shea butter. It took 2 weeks, but it seemed to work.
After about 3 weeks, though, suddenly I was back to square one. It's like within two days, everything I had done reversed itself.
The only thing I can think of is that I started going out more...and therefore wearing bras more. I wear sports bras, because I find regular ones to be horribly uncomfortable. This probably isn't the best thing, because I'm at least a D-cup.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could do to get rid of this dry skin? Thanks in advance!

| Vaginal Prolapse |
[11 Jul 2009|10:17am] |
Hello all! I have been watching this community for a couple years now and finally have a need to ask a question. This is regarding my 58 year old mother. She had been told at her last gyn appointment about a month ago that she has a polyp that needs to be removed though a procedure similar to a D&C. Then over the next couple of weeks she started feeling like something was "falling out of her vagina". She went back and was told her uterus is longer than normal, and it is her bladder that is "falling out" of her vagina. The doctor gave her a plastic thing to insert in her vagina to hold things in place but also suggested they remove her uterus rather than do the D&C procedure (currently scheduled at the end of this month). They would also stitch her bladder back into place regardless of whether she decides to remove the uterus.
So my question is: she doesn't really want to have a body part removed unless necessary. She is concerned about the recovery of this surgery as well as how her body will operate w/out the uterus. Has anyone had just their uterus removed (cervix & ovaries still in place)? How do they remove it (through the vagina or a cut on the abdomen)? Does it mess w/your hormones and/or libido?
Any advice would be appreciated as she is trusting me to help her make this decision. TIA!

Hello superstars! I know all HBCs have different effects for everyone, but I'm wondering what the most low-maintenence one generally is, in terms of hormone changes and side effects. I'm not looking to lower or heighten my sex drive, I just don't want infants. I'm thinking of Implanon just because it lasts for years and it would be easier to just have it implanted than taking the pill every day. Personal experiences, anyone? Thanks so much in advance!

| herpes. |
[11 Jul 2009|09:45am] |
about 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 herpes. my outbreak was in the genital area. I was put on acyclovir immediately, which helped... the outbreak was basically gone in about 4-5 days. about 1 1/2 months ago, I got a really weird rash in my right armpit for no apparent reason. it started out as a slightly raised patch of skin that was red and irritated. kind of itchy. i didn't think much about it at first, but then the bumps started! the red patchiness was different, but the bumps reminded me of my initial herpes outbreak. and then it spread to my left armpit (both the red patches AND the bumps). so I tried to drink a lot of water, take lysine every day, etc, etc. but it never went away. also irritating it was my job, which is kind of like waitressing in what happens to be a completely air conditionless building in D.C. summer heat. I finally went to the doctor last week and he said that it could be a herpes outbreak, but it looked more like a fungal infection. so he gave me a prescription anti-fungal cream, and also a prescription for Valtrex just in case the fungal cream didn't work. i went to the pharmacy and only got the fungal cream, because the Valtrex was $200. after like 4 days of using it, the red patches went away. but the bumps are still there, still keep popping up. I'm almost positive it's herpes. and I think the reason it's lasting so long is because I keep reinfecting myself (because the sores basically have to rub against other parts of my skin because they're in my armpit).
what I would like to know is this: is there ANYTHING I can try to get rid of this FAST? I will scrape up the money to buy Valtrex if I absolutely have to, but I want to try what I can before I do that (but still get rid of it ASAP!). I know that everyone's outbreaks are different, but it's almost been 2 months and it's summertime and I just want to go swimming and wear sleeveless shirts and not worry about sweating too much and not have my summer ruined by herpes. I'm crying right now just thinking about it. I can't take it anymore!
here is what I've been doing:
*taking a multi-vitamin every day
*drinking a fairly good amount of water every day (not excess, but what I'm "supposed" to have)
*taking 1000 mg of lysine once a day (would it help to up this dosage?)
*taking 200 mg (I think that's the dosage) of vitamin E once a day
*breaking open the capsules of the vitamin E and putting the oil on the sores once a day (the doctor said this works for some people)
*still putting the anti-fungal cream in my armpits because I want to make sure the fungal infection is completely gone
*not drinking alcohol, which I normally do
*not smoking cigarettes, which I normally do
please help if you can! thank you!

Hello everyone. I've been experiencing this issue for quite sometime, and I've been hoping I could find a solution. During and after I have sex with my boyfriend, I get this burning, uncomfortable pain in my vagina. Sometimes it gets so bad it stings and I feel swollen. Additionally, I've gotten yeast infections after wards. On last Thursday, I went to my gyn, and she said that everything was normal (I forgot to tell her about the pain).
P.s. I've been std tested and it all come back negative, along with my bf.

| Early Menopause? |

terribly curious |
] |
So, I'm 31, and in pretty good health (I've just been told by my GP that I'm the most boring patient ever after my yearly physical yay) but a bunch of little things that have been piling up over the last year or so are making me suspicious.
I've developed new allergies to stuff, can't sleep, my hair is thinning a wee bit (enough for me to notice anyway) I'm sprouting facial fuzz,dealing with anxiety, packing on a few pounds around the middle that don't go away despite dietary changes/exercise, my nails are brittle, if it wasn't for my HBC, my period would be all over the place, and now I'm getting hot flashes out of nowhere.
Iiiinteresting.
I'm going to see my gyno on Wednesday to discuss what's up with her, and to get my 6 month check (I also have HPV and dysplasia has ranged from severe to moderate despite 2 leeps and 2 rounds of cryo and doesn't seem to want to go away) to see what's going on with that.
Has anyone else started menopause early? I knew a girl a few years back who went through it in her 20's for some reason but I haven't seen her in years, or I'd be asking her about it.
I can't say that I'd be terribly disappointed, as my partner and I aren't going to be having kids anyway, but I'm curious as how to go about dealing with this if it is indeed menopause. Suggestions/stories?

| baby thoughts? |
[10 Jul 2009|11:29pm] |
|
I figured this comm was the perfect for my inquiry. Small back story first. I lost my virginity to a complete stranger some drunk-filled night. I was heavy intoxicated knew exactly what I was doing. Just wanted to have sex that badly. Very bad idea and I do not recommend it. Since that night I've had a couple of one night trysts. Not caring about them or me for that matter...just wanted sex. Right now I'm in a long term committed relationship (our one year was last month) So here's the reason for this post. Ever since we started having sex, I've been thinking about babies and having a baby and how much I want one....then the more rational part of my brain says "where is this coming from? youre not ready to have baby. babies aren't like going to the pound to pick out a dog" Prior to all of this I was dead on not having kids. but lately I've been thinking of babies. Is this just what happens when you have with someone you care about? My boyfriend does not want kids...EVER so talking to him about this isn't a good idea...cuz I'll never get to have sex with him again. Not that I would ever intentionally get pregnant. That would be completely irresponsible. But these baby thoughts are really worrying me right now. I guess I was wondering if it's at all common to think this since having sex with someone you care about when all the other times I never thought this way.

Thank you everyone for helping me with my yeast infection diagnosis. In retrospect, I cannot believe I didn't recognize it. It was, to be fair, my first one though.
Now I have something else going on. I noticed it the night after I went swimming in the ocean. It's in the creases of skin between my thighs and vagina. It's enflamed and stings and gets angry when it's hot or kinda sweaty. Has anyone ever experienced this? I researched heat rash and that seems likely, but since it's near my cunt and I have a YI happening at the same time, I thought I should post here.

| irregular periods |
[10 Jul 2009|07:32pm] |
Are there any natural remedies for irregular periods? I went off HBC in the middle of April and got a Copper IUD in May. I have yet to get a period. I've had some light spotting here and there but I think thats the IUD settling. I was pretty irregular before I went on the pill when I was 15 but I was starting to get them regularly, like every 2 months instead of 4x a year.
If I were to try something natural, would its effects go away if I stopped taking it or would it be ok to quit once my body went back in sync?
ETA: can going vegetarian affect your period? I never really ate red meat before but I always had a lot of chicken and cheese. I only eat dairy when I eat pizza or eat cereal now. I still eat plenty and healthy though.

| slight change in discharge enough to see gyno? |
[10 Jul 2009|07:28pm] |
Hi everyone, new poster here.
Two months ago I had my first yeast infection. I didn't have a noticeable change in discharge, but my vulva was very itchy. I used the Monistat 1-day ovule and the itching went away within a few days. Fast forward to a few days ago when I began to have mild itching on one side of my vulva, but it was gone by the next day. I haven't been itchy since, but as of last night and today I've noticed thin tan/light brown discharge. It smells slightly stronger/different than it normally does, but it does not smelly fishy, almost a little sweet I'd say, but it doesn't have a distinct odor. I've looked up symptoms for both YIs and BV, but it doesn't seem to fit either, but the symptoms for BV seem to vary quite a bit so I'm slightly concerned.
Last month I had my gyno appointment and tested negative for all STDs, and everything went fine with the exam. I haven't had sex in over a month (my YI came right after a spurt of a lot of sex). One thing I'm thinking is it may be spotting between withdrawal bleeds, however I've been on Yaz for two years and I can't recall the last time that has happened. My "period" is due in a week, and they're typically short and light, with the blood typically light to dark brown.
So I guess my question is with just the change in discharge, would this be enough to warrant making an appointment with my gyno, or should I wait and see if I start to show signs of other symptoms? Ever since the YI I've kept a close eye on how things are going down there, so a change has me worried. Is tannish discharge considered normal?

| Natural progesterone cream and hormone imbalance |
[10 Jul 2009|05:25pm] |

Has anyone tried to use natural progesterone cream to correct their hormone imbalance? I've also read that diet, exercise, and other factors like enviromental toxins play a role in hormone imbalances, which I am currently have. Has anyone tried to change their lifestyle in order to have more normal periods and did it work?
