I had two comments/questions for you wonderful people.
Today I had my GYN appointment. As the doctor was doing his examination, I was thinking about what I generally think about during the examination and where my eyes wander. What do you think about, and where do you look? It just seems uncomfortable to look in the doctor's eyes while he's massaging your breasts and completing the pap (though, it's not like he's looking at your face either).
The other thing that came to mind was that he told me that my cervix was shaped differently than many womyn's. It curves toward the rectum instead of the bladder. Do other womyn feel different from me when having sex then? When menstruating? When giving birth? Or are we pretty much the same when it comes to physical sensations?

Has anyone had a big problem with DayQuil? Several years ago I had a cold and took some, and when I used the bathroom I noticed a STRONG odor coming from my girly parts, horrible, like pesticide or the smell that wafts out of the sewer grates in the street (actually it smelled EXACTLY like that, not like human waste but more chemical). Anyway I didn't connect the two and the campus doctor examined me and told me I had bacterial vaginosis and gave me some antibiotics. BUT soon I realized that whenever I took the DayQuil, I had that smell, and when I stopped taking it, it went away. I'm not saying it gave me vaginosis, I'm saying I never had vaginosis at all. NyQuil does nothing like that to me. :) But I'll never take that DayQuil stuff.

i was talking to someone the other day about a gyno exam and she nonchalantly mentioned that her boyfriend went in the exam room with her. she said it as if this is standard procedure and he always goes with her. and i wondered...who in here has had someone go with them into their exam, whether it be a boyfriend, husband, best friend etc. etc.? i know it would have comforted me if i could have had someone i knew there the first time i went, if just for a little moral support.

When it's bleeding, my yoni seems to me nothing so much as some strange, hairy, and totally alien creature, that enjoys making my whole body ache.
If I read one more feminist or spiritual text extolling the virtues of "women's moon times" I'm going to SCREAM!

An entry about my arse (and the pill)

[a-typical.livejournal.com]

Well, either my jeans have shrunk, or I finally have an arse.

I'm on a new pill (it's an anti-acne one, called Diane 35 ED for those in Australia), a type which causes a lot of people to gain weight. This is my 6th type of contraceptive pill and I haven't gained weight once.

Until Now.

It could be from the new antidepressants (a side effect is to be constantly hungry), because I've been shovelling in food. However, I have a faaaaast metabolism, so me eating alot of food doesn't normally effect me.

I can't believe it, my jeans look tight. I finally know what jeans are meant to look like on a person!! I wonder how much weight I've gained.........

It's pretty exciting in a way, because I have a butt. My breasts haven't gotten any bigger though (dammit).

Hee hee, I have a butt!!! After YEARS upon YEARS of being told I look anorexic, that I'm too thin, that I look sick, that I'm a stick, BLAH BLAH fucking BLAH, I actually have a curve to my lower half. It's INSANE.

The only problem is, my jeans are a little uncomfy. I'm so hoping that my clothes'll still fit me :(

Now, the conundrum. Do I relearn everything about my body, not only size, but appreciating what it looks like, not being able to fit some of my clothes....
Or, do I go the easy route, stop this new pill and get my (absent) arse back??

My best friend was on this pill, and she gained a clothing size. As soon as she stopped her body went back to it's previous size.

hmmmmmmmmm. Comments, suggestions??

i hate when i feel depressed or moody and stuff when i'm on my period, not just cos of the obvious reasons but also because it makes me feel like everything i'm feeling at that moment in time is so meaningless because i'm only feeling like that because of my hormones.

it just seems to undermine my whole existence for a few days each month!

any advice, comments, dissing etc welcome...

Does anyone ever feel like they're bleeding to death?

LOL... my monthly visitor is here, and it's a lot heavier than it usually is, and I mean a lot heavier!!!

I'm not really worried about this, it's just very very unusual...

Cloth pads.

[tina-marie.livejournal.com]

About five months ago my mother, sister and I converted to cloth pads. We usually kept them in the shower, rinsed, in a mesh bag until we would wash them. The mesh bag in the shower will no longer be an option. I am moving in with my boyfriend this week. He knows about them, thinks they are a great idea. But I do not want to keep them out like that. Any ideas or suggestions?

My only idea is a little cute trash can with a flip lid I can keep in a corner near the washer.

what a great community idea. lafly.

germaine greer once said that if the thought of tasting your own menstrual blood makes you ill, then you should consider yourself far from emancipated.

i have clashing opinions on this.

My dearest fellow vagina-bearing superstars,

There's a new addition to the VaginaPagina phenomenon: VaginaPagina Frequently Asked Questions!

I put it together tonight with the input of the other admin. Feel free to leave feedback in this post (Did I leave anything out? Misspell something? Word something terribly? Use a broken link?, etc.).

It's already linked from our profile page and once approved, the FAQ will be moving on over to VaginaPagina.com.

I hope it will make life even easier for us admin and also for new members!
