Hi-

I woke up this morning after a night of heavy drinking to blood smeared between my thighs. Normally, I would be like "drats, my period." However, my period finished just two weeks ago. It also doesn't feel like my period- It's kind of a consistent heavy flow of blood, although I do have some pain in my abdomen region, kind of similar to a very mild cramp. Also, this is kind of squicky, but it doesn't smell like my usual mentrual fluids. I have a pretty irregular cycle, sometimes not getting my period for two months or more, but never twice in one month. WHAT IS GOING ON!?

my nipples are on fire!!

[nightingaleecho.livejournal.com]

I'm on my period, and for some reason, my nipples are constantly sore, hard and in pain as if someone is poking them with a hot metal rod. My boobs will sometimes get sore around this time, but never my nipples!


any ideas why this is happening?
any home remedies to treat this?

I thought all the girls on VagPag would be able to appreciate this interesting array of purses, bags, pillows, hats and even a little something to hold your favorite "toy" in....

A friend of mine sent me this website in an e-mail, very nice.

so i shave--completely. everything.
and lately i've noticed some acne looking bumps. they're not open sores or anything but they do hurt and have little white tips (like a zit) i was wondering if this is just razor burn or what and how can i get rid of them (it's hurts to shave over them--which is an inconvenience.)


thanks so much!!

stopping one's period.

[morbidelirium.livejournal.com]

is there any way to hold one's period off?

i'm not on birth control and next weekend, i have a 5 day weekend and it'd just be a huge pain in the ass to be bleeding on that five day weekend. i'm due around the seventeenth.

although I do have nuvaring (not using it, just got some sample when I was supposed to go on it, but i have a mild clotting disorder. the doctor never told me NOT to use it, i just chose not to because i haven't heard back from her yet. i suppose I could use it for five days then i'd definitely want to stop, though I don't know how dangerous that would be--more info on this please? would it stop my period? would it be dangerous to start it, then stop it, or would it just end up like a late period?

thank you. :)

Man PMS?

[fumblerette1.livejournal.com]

This is sort of vagina related... I guess. Anyway, a professor of mine mentioned the other day how he can always tell when his wife is getting her period because he starts to get irritable and moody and stuff. (don't ask how we got on this topic, lol.) And he mentioned that he grew up in a house full of women, and now he's married with two (young) daughters. I thought this was sort of interesting, but wasn't sure how true it could be. But then yesterday my boyfriend was all depressed and moody, like I get about 3 days into my period. I didn't really think anything of it, except for when I went to put my patch on today and realized this week was my period week. So... anybody experience anything like this with their guys, or is it just one big old coincidence?

The Wonders of Boric Acid for Yeast Infections and Bacterial Vaginosis

[feckalyn.livejournal.com]

I get frequent questions about the specifics of boric acid use so I finally got off my ass and typed it up in post format for all to see!

Where do I find it? How much does it cost? What else do I need to make my own pills?

I've always been able to find boric acid powder in pharmacies in the US. (Another vp member made a more elaborate post about her quest for boric acid here.) It's usually in an 8 ounce bottle, and can often be found around the other "home remedies" section (like in with the hydrogen peroxide etc). You want to get a concentration of 2% or less for vaginal use (the stuff that they sell as cockroach killer isn't what you're looking for). If you have any questions about the product you find and its concentration, ask the pharmacist if it is safe to use vaginally.
I last bought a bottle probably 5 years ago and at that time it cost less than $5(US). Eight ounces will probably last you through at least two dozen YI uses (depending on the length of treatment).
Buy some empty size zero gel capsules from the pharmacy as well. (For vegans, there are non-gelatin caps often available at health food stores).
I've also heard people saying that "Yeast Arrest" and other over-the-counter pre-made capsules containing boric acid work, but I've never personally tried that route. Pre-manufactured and packaged capsules are significantly more expensive than making your own.

How do I make the capsules? How long do I use it?

Take it all home and dump about an 1/8 of a cup of boric acid powder onto a flat surface (I use a plate). Open a gel cap and scoop powder into both sides and close it up. Repeat until you've got enough caps for your needs. You can dump the remaining powder back into the bottle for future use.

Insert two gel caps nightly for every night that you're taking an antibiotic (for YI prevention).
For yeast infection and/or bacterial vaginosis treatment insert two gel caps nightly for 10 days (can go up to 21 if the symptoms are still present). This treatment regimen is not set in stone. Monitor your body's cues throughout the treatment and if it seems like your symptoms are gone after, for example, 3 nights of capsules, stop treating then. You can always restart the treatment if the yeasties return.
As far as dosage goes, I can't tell you specifically how many milligrams of boric acid to use per dose because I've never seen that information on the bottle and I suspect that there is some variation from brand to brand.

How do I do it?

Make sure and put the caps in as you're lying down to go to bed. Staying flat helps to keep the powder/gel cap ooze up inside of you. When you get up the next morning you'll need to rinse said ooze off (one day I was late getting up and rushed out forgetting about it and had a very sticky and uncomfortable day).

How does it work? Isn't it poison? Doesn't acid burn?

Boric acid works by reacidifying your vagina and killing off the unwanted fungus and/or bacteria.
I've heard some people here say that they had burning and discomfort from using boric acid, but it's unusual. It is a chemical that is safe to be used vaginally and even on eyeballs, so don't let the "acid" part of it scare you off. If you do have mild burning during the first few days, it is likely nothing to worry about. If you experience severe burning, stop using it!
Even at the 2% concentration, boric acid is mildly poisonous if ingested, do not eat it!

Here's some reputable web resources:

STARTED PILL PACK ON SATURDAY, WHAT CAN I DO?

[tinycityofashes.livejournal.com]

I already posted this to birthcontrol but haven't got a response.  It's a relatively urgent question so I thought I'd post here.

I take ortho-novum 777, if that helps anybody.

Yesterday was Saturday, and I accidently started up my BCP's again (I had been on my placebo week).  I'm not quite sure why I did this, I think I was just off yesterday.  Anyhow.  The OCD / paranoia part of me (diagnosed, too!) really LOVES being able to check her pill pack and see that I've taken the RIGHT pill on the RIGHT day.  Being a day off, I know, is going to drive me crazy.  I also really like starting on Sundays.

I have some extra pill packs, so what I'm wondering is: can I just start another pack tonight, as if I hadn't taken a pill yesterday?  I can't see it hurting me, because it's just 1 extra pill.  It's not like it can compromise the protection, because I took MORE, not LESS. 

What do you think?

Also, thanks for all the tips about the vibe in the ass question.  You girls are stellar.

more bleeding

[bairdyloo.livejournal.com]

Ok, right now I'm on the placebo pills (I start a new pack tonight), and I had my period on Monday-Tuesday. However, last night at work I started getting cramps and spotting a bit. I didn't have blood in my underwear, but when I'd go to the bathroom and wipe the paper would come up pink/light red. I'm still having the same problems today. I don't know if it's my body still getting used to the pill (I was on depo before), or if it's something related to the cryocautery I had 4 weeks ago (I was told that it could take up to 8 weeks to heal). Any ideas?

just curious

swelling and iching

[strawberrys532.livejournal.com]

okay so for the past few days, basically everything down there has been really irritable and ichy (mostly on the inside of my outer lips). There are also strange bumps between the beginning of my thigh and my vagina on both sides. I kind of ignored the bumps and ichyness, thinking it will just go away. Well about 25 minutes ago i looked down there and everything is massively swollen.
It looks like i have three outer lips in a row because the skin above my clit was swollen to the size of my outer lips. besides for having three lips, basically EVERYTHING is swollen. The whole area is now 10x the size it was before. wtf?
Has this ever happened to anyone else and what could it be from?
Thanks in advance


backround information: i have not changed the usual body wash, underwear, or anything that could possibly come in contact of my vagina-area. The only change is that i just started taking Yasmin BC, but i highly doubt that has anything to do with iching and swelling.

Quick Question.

[darialjr.livejournal.com]

Hi, I just had a quick question regarding yeast infection medication. I have a relatively mild YI at the moment and literally cannot get the recommended (by my doctor) Monistat medication in because I am just so tight. Today I bought some natural medication - the brand is AZO Yeast - and before I took it I wanted to see what others' reactions were to it, if it worked, etc. etc. Thanks in advance for any help!

Couple of questions...

My discharge has been yellowish/white and smelling of vinegar lately. Is that a sign of anything or is it normal?

After going pee earlier, I looked at the inner folds and it looks like they're turning brown. They've always been pink, but now it's a light brown. Is this just something that happens as you get older? If so, I don't like it. :(

Posted on behalf of a friend.
Does anyone know where I can find an image similar to the one on the bottom left hand side of this image?
I need one like this but with a more pronounced vulva, Google has been tried and came up with nothing similar. Would also love to see any images that show the full clitoris within the cunt.
Warning: Not worksafe, and not for anyone with a major objection to seeing women's cunts.

i feel dumb...i realized that i left a tampon in for way too long! i put it in probably around midnight or so last night and then i only realized it was still there at about 8pm tonight. it was a lites tampon, very tiny. am i at risk for tss? i'm super-paranoid about it. i took it right out and got in the shower (i was getting in the shower anyways). it's the last day of my period anyways, so it's a really light flow anyways if that makes any difference. and it wasn't stuffed up too far into my vagina, it was near the bottom.
i ended up having sex in the shower, but it hurt! it hurt my vagina like if i had a yeast infection but that CAN NOT be a possibility because i just treated with diflucan AND monistat a week and a half ago. hopefully it was just a little dry? it also hurt my abdomen a little. let me try and explain it..it was to the right of my belly button and a little bit lower. it hurt during the sex, and then a little bit afterward. we were doing it standing up (you know, me bending over and him entering from behind). it doesn't hurt anymore, and my boyfriend suggested that it might have been just that i was standing up?
so is any of this worrysome? ie, the tampon left in for too long, the pain during sex, etc.
thanks!!

Hello ladies..

Question:
I don't get to see my boy very often so when I do.. of course.. we have sex.. because we're bad like that.. anyway..
He's really huge.. and I don't mean that in a good brag way.. I mean it in a bad way.. He tears me apart every time.. and I know lube and all of that will help that but unfortunatly.. this past weekend.. we didn't have that handy.. so now, I'm ripped open at the bottom of my vaginal opening and my chronic UTI is acting up again.. anyone got any ideas for immediate relief for the ripped bit? This has happened many times before and every time I go to the gyno, she just puts me on antibiotics and gives me AZO (which I am taking) for the UTI but I'm used to them so I can handle that.. I'm usually so good at not letting this ripping happen anymore but .. ugh my vagina is on.. FIRE =\

Much thanks as I start my IV of cranberry juice ..
<3

Every now and then I get really sick just when my menstrual period starts. My stomach gets upset and I get nauseated and even throw up. I am almost 25. I am in good physical shape. I'm not on birth control but I've had my tubes tied. This has been going on for at least three or four years.Does anyone know what the hell causes this shit?
