Well, I have a yeast infection for the first time, and I'm trying to get rid of it. But the yeast, they love me and would rather stay.

Details and questions... )

I'm looking to order my first menstrual cup. Does anyone have a preference of Diva Cups versus Instead Softcups? Especially while having intercourse? Will my SO feel it?

Any other brands that you feel are worthy would be great too.

Thanks. And I must admit, I think I'm a little excited. = ] hahaha

Two questions. I got five shots the other day (Hep A, Meningitis, Tetanus, First Gardasil shot, and flu shot). Do vaccinations interfere with HBC (I want to make sure as I use it as my only form of birth control)?

Also, my bleed this placebo week keeps stretching itself out. I've been on Yaz for about 3 packs, and have had no issues with spotting, but this bleed has lasted for about a week and a half. The last three-four days have been very light (no need for a pad or tampon), but I'm definitely still bleeding. Should I be concerned? Thanks.

So every time I post I'm sure its about the same thing.
I have an issue with my vagina, Penetration hurts about 60% of the time, due to lack of lubrication and yeast or bacterial issues.
When i went to the doc at the end of October she gave me metro-gel, which seemed to get rid of the infection, 2 weeks later I got a UTI, was treated, took longer to go away, avoided going back to the doc, pain finally went away (during my uti, penetration didn't hurt).
A week later I started to get itchy, tried the metro-gel again, nothing worked.
Had my period last week tried sex 2 times, with painful penetration and my labia swelled afterwards. I always pee and rinse after sex, I take acidophilus everyday and cranberry every other day, I'm on pre-natals and we have been trying to make a baby for around 6 months.
Currently my vagina is un-happy and needs a total re-balance of chemicals/bacteria/flora ect.

Is there anything I can put in there to make my vagina happier? also is there anything I can do to get my vagina to be wetter?
Anyway I have typical yeast and BV symptoms, I cannot tell the difference, cept the external cream I used lastnight was for yeast and my vagina feels much better today. (however it still smells really strong and I still have a bit of itchy/white creamy stuff around my labia and clitoris).

I am super annoyed with my Vagina, I never had an issue with this stuff until I moved out of my parents house, into my apartment with the husband.

(for the record, I have no sti's)

VPer's Please help!

I know this is probably a super popular topic, but there wasn't as many postings as I thought in the memories.

I'm planning on getting my *first* Brazilian wax soon, and I'm pretty terrified.

-I'm only 16, although I don't really imagine a huge issue with age
-Is this going to be the most painful experience of my young life?
-I know it's expensive... is the upkeep difficult and how often do you have to get it waxed again?
-Are most waxers usually good at making it a comfortable environment? Needless to say it doesn't have to be anymore awkward than necessary.
-If I decide it isn't for me afterwards, how bad is it to let the hair grow back?
-Any other information/personal experience I could gain insight from
-Oh and anyone know anywhere good in/near Albany NY?

Thanks!

Can the same STD's you catch vaginally can you catch it through oral sex? If so, are the risks as high?

Using a condom is always stressed for sexual intercourse but not always for oral.   And many people think using a condom for oral sex is pointless and silly. 

I've always used condoms for intercourse and once for oral--I remember and encounter where mid way into it the guy got frustrated and snatched it off and said "this is stupid i can't feel anything" so I continued without it.  I always thought that you couldn't catch STDs through oral sex-- don't know why but I thought you were more at risk when it was vaginally.

Today I noticed I had a small bump on my labia. It looks like a pimple, or a whitehead to be more precise. I recently shaved so it may be an ingrown hair. It's painful but doesn't itch or burn.

Other random info that may be useful:
I've been in a monogamous relationship with my boyfriend for the past year. We don't use condoms, but have both been tested for STDs (I think just gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis) and have used condoms with everyone else.

Any ideas or experiences with this before?

Thanks Ladies.

New to Yaz

Helloooo. I'm 17 and I've just been prescribed Yaz. is Yasmin another name for this?
For those who take it, could you tell me about your experiences with it?

And today was my first day of taking Yaz. I intended on taking it at 8 am everyday but some things happened and I ended up taking it at noon. If I make sure to take it every day at 8 starting tomorrow, will everything be fine with that? As in, should I still be protected from pregnancy at the end of this first pack?

Thanks!

Hello, everyone!

Okay, straight to the problem. My doctors don't believe me! I've had this issue since I was a kid but as an adult, it's getting worse (or it's not getting worse, I'm just getting more annoyed with it.) I have a very very large amount of discharge. I know it's supposed to be a larger amount before the period, 4 ml's worth, but I literally have 5 times that. EVERY time I go to the bathroom, a LOT comes out. I tell my doctors this (I've been to 4 (from a pediatrician to my adult doctor, to two gyno's)) and they all give me the "you're crazy" look. I don't know what is going on. I have resorted to using tampons when I leave the house, which I know isn't healthy. Even if I wear pads or panty liners, there's so much of it that it literally drips down my leg and gets everywhere. It's a mess. I don't like public bathrooms, but even if that wasn't the case, I generally need a LOT of toilet paper to clean up the mess and in some cases, even a change of clothes. I need help. This ISN'T normal because I've talked to several friends and they never experience this problem. I wouldn't mind discharge in the morning, for regular cleaning, but how dirty is my vagina for this to happen??

P.S. I am not sexually active. I do not masturbate, either. I have been tested for STD's and came back negative in the past and I've only had one yeast infection and that was 7 years ago (when I was 15).

I need answers! I am tired of dealing with this. :-(

Oh yeah, I went on the pill (Seasonale) for a year and then my doctor refused to prescribe it to me until I got a pap smear (but the day she actually gave me the pap smear, she still refused to give it to me until she got the results. The results came back too bloody because I started my period that day and I found out my insurance expired so I couldn't afford to go back and I've been off for months now.) The pill helped with the situation but there were still times a lot came out.
