Air Build Up/Collection?
May. 16th, 2008 01:31 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png){kind=small}
notbig.livejournal.comOk so I've been meaning to post this for a few days now and keep forgetting so now I've finally remembered at the point of going to bed *headdesk*
Sometimes when my boyfriend & I have sex it feels like there's a small to medium collection of air inside my vagina. Often it makes the area just above my pubic bone feel hard and sort of bloated, it also makes any sort of penetration with a solid object (be it finger or penis) pretty uncomfortable - not painful just uncomfortable.
It normally only happens if we've been fooling around for ages before sex, particularly if he's been fingering me for a while, or when I'm in positions with my hips raised up and my lower body flat. My boyfriend passed a comment the other day about it being feeling like "a balloon - all opened up and empty" when he's inside me. He also finds it quite hard to enter me sometimes when this happens which can be frustrating and painful for both parties >XD
The air can be pushed out pretty easily (And I'm sure you can all imagine how :P) and everything's back to normal though.
It's not a problem or a concern, more a general wondering if anyone else experiences this/knows of how to avoid it really.

Fun with the Media
May. 16th, 2008 08:46 ammarciamarcia.livejournal.comHey all, I'm a health journalist and I'm working on an article about some of the problems women have with hormonal birth control and the research that's being done to find more alternatives to HBC.
I'm looking for women who are interested in being interviewed for this piece.
I'm particularly interested in talking to women who, while they take HBC and are happy to have the protection it offers, have had problems with hormonal side-effects and wish there were more/different options available to them.
If this describes you, please drop me a line, either in this post or at my work email: maggie (dot) koerth (at) gmail (dot) com.
Please note that, to use your story in my article, I will need to use your real, full name and age.
Thanks in advance!

BC Sunday start Vs. first day start.
May. 16th, 2008 08:46 amcindy-ann.livejournal.comI hope this is ok to ask, I read the BC section and didn't quite find the answer I was looking for. Periods and cramps drive me crazy and tri cycle pills (where you only have 3 periods a year) make me a kind of mean person so I need some advice for my question. I am now on Ortho tri cyclen lo. Right now I am a Sunday starter but was curious how the first day starting works. If you start on the day your period shows up does it end your period? Do you still take the placebo week? Can you stop your period doing this?
Any advice and help you can give would be great.
Thanks.

bodily functions regarding periods
May. 16th, 2008 11:54 amgoth-kittykat.livejournal.comso i'm on my period now just like everyone else is it seems.lol
while i was in the bath i noticed i squired some blood out and i thought, hey where did that come from? it didn't feel like it came out of my vagina, it felt like it came out where i pee. so when you squirt blood out, where does it come from?>.> if it came out of there, how does your body know to not pee and to just release some blood?

weightofourlove.livejournal.comSo while I know this isn't strictly "women's health" related, I thought I would post it anyway since justice vs. injustice affects us all, especially minorities (such as women, who have historically been discrimminated against) looking for equality. Also, I'm sure many members of vaginapagina are part of the LGBT community or have close friends who are.
Yesterday, our State Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage in Callifornia. This will make us the second state in the U.S. to legalize gay marriage.
In the decision, the Court declared that "in contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation, and, more generally, that an individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights. We therefore conclude that in view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship, the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples." (You can read the full text of the decision here: http://www.nbc11.com/download/2008/0515/16274829.pdf )
This is a major step for us, and although certain groups in this state are already planning to try to amend the state constitution and nullify this court decision (which, luckily, the Governator says is a motion he will not support), it is still cause for much celebration. I'm very proud to be a Californian right now. Minorities need to stick together to ensure the rights of us all. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

HPV and breast lumps.
May. 16th, 2008 12:39 pmimeowface.livejournal.comHello lovely VP friends. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I hope you guys can offer some advise.
One of my dear friends lost her virginity to a guy she thought she would be with forever. Unfortunately, he gave her HPV, and they have since broken up. She made him get tested for all STDs before they had sex, but there is currently no HPV test for males. On top of that, my friend discovered a few lumps in her breast. She recently had surgery to remove the lumps, but I don't know how her surgery went because I've been terrified to call her. I feel so selfish and like I'm being a horrible friend, but I have no idea how to help her through this situation. I want to be there for her. I just don't know how. I've been reading the success stories you guys post her, but my friend is so devastated about her situation. How can I help her?

oleoxenfree.livejournal.comHello one and all again! This time I come to you with a problem of a different sort that, while it does feature my anxiety it has NOTHING to do with my body what-so-ever.
When I went to my first gynecologist appointment they gave me the STD Chlamydia and Gonorrhea exam. Now, they didn't ask if I wanted the exam, they just said hey its part of the exam what have you. I assumed it was because I was sexually active only having one sexual partner who I lost my virginity to. He had one previous partner who had been tested and was clear. Plus, we used condoms, so I was not worried about STDs. They did the tests and everything came out clear (hurrah). I was told it wasn't going to show up on my insurance as it'd be part of the examination and my parents didn't have to know about my sexual participation.
However.
Today in the mail I get a BILL from the lab who did my test results saying I owe them $260 because my insurance said it did not cover the test. My parents knew I took tests, bu lo and behold what does it say on the bill? Chlamydia and GC Amplification! I went to a clinic specified by my insurance company, why would they reject the charge?
My MAIN concern though is how do I explain this to my parents. I am 20, in college, not pregnant or have any STDs, but I live with my parents still. I want to be able to tell them that they test EVERYONE for STDs but I don't know how much that will fly. Again they (the doctors) didn't ask as if I had a choice, just explained it as it was part of the procedure. Can I just say I'm still a virgin and that it was part of the exam so I didn't say "No"? I don't think they can take this back to the clinic and say I didn't deserve the test if I said everyone was supposed to get one. But my mom (who had me around my age) told me at 17 that 20 was an ok age to lose my virginity. However, she still didn't want me to have sex and said I shouldn't have sex at all because I "have too much stuff to do" in the ways of a career and college. Which I disagree with you can have sex, do college and have a career but I'm obviously not going to go against my mother.
How do I get out of this mess I am in? This is the LAST conversation I want to have with my parents.

save3tearsforme.livejournal.comI just asked my gyno to switch me off of Yasmin because I have NO libido whatsoever when I take it. He prescribed me Cryselle (saying since it has a higher level of estrogen it might help). Does anyone have any experience with this BC? What did you think of it? Any side effects?
ALSO, I finished up my period after taking my last pack of Yasmin, and started taking the Cryselle 2 days ago. Am I safe to have sex tomorrow (going home to my man!) even after switching the brand of pill?
And, why does it say to watch how much grapefruit juice I drink when I'm on HBC?
[EDIT] I just found an article that said that grapefruit juice contains an enzyme that slows the absorption of estrogen, making the pill less effective. Therefore, Progesterone-only pills are not effected.
If you are curious, it also says that with some other medicines it can actually speed up the absorption of the medication into your bloodstream, possibly causing the medicine to become lethal.

good gynos in nyc
May. 16th, 2008 03:17 pmgettogethers.livejournal.comHi guys,
I'm not really sure if this is the right place for this, so feel free to delete if it's not on topic, but I'm looking for a good gynecologist in the NYC area that accepts Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I usually find myself feeling pretty uncomfortable at the gyno, so I'm looking for someone friendly, preferably female, who's easy to talk to and not judgmental.
Thanks a bundle.

abitofanenigma.livejournal.comOkay, so I posted recently about my crazy periods after (and before) three years of progestorone HBC (depo and implanon). I was basically bleeding heavily for about 5-6weeks.
Anyway, the nurse stated that having irregular periods is completely normal at my age. I'm 23, started menstruating at 14/15 and went on HBC at 19 when my periods ceased completely. My periods have always been heavy and irregular. While I know that it's not uncommon as such to have period patterns outwith the norm, I'm suprised to hear that it's actually common. Call me ignorant, but I believed the lies of the tampon packets that said they should regulate within two years...no wonder I was worried when they hadn't settled after double that time had passed!
Anyway, I was just wondering who else was like this? I've always been extremely envious of the girls mentioned in health leaflets who experience light periods lasting three days. Three days - I've never had one last less than about ten days!!! On top of that I erm..."gush", I feel so unsexy and feel like I'm virtually wearing a nappy! I know it seems like such a basic issue but it's not something I've really talked about with anyone else.
Anyway, I've been referred to a gyno in a few weeks time and have been given Norethisterone to take for three weeks in the hope that it will stop my bleeding and in some sense "reboot" my uterus back to a regular monthly pattern. Anyone have any experience with this? I know it's used to treat endometriosis and such like.
Anyways, it's nice to discuss.

Break through bleeding?
May. 16th, 2008 04:57 pmhttps://users.livejournal.com/likeastar-/So this past week, I've had gross brown discharge all week. I'm assuming it's break through bleeding. Does it seem logical that if on Mon-Fri I took my pill around 7:30 am, and then on Sat-Sun I took it around 12/1 pm, it could cause the bleeding? I quite enjoy my sleep-ins on the weekends, could that be the cause? Sorry if this seems silly, I'd just like reassurance that its a plasuible reason. :)
Inspiring stories....
May. 16th, 2008 06:17 pmnakedfaery.livejournal.comI've been getting a bit depressed recently because of all my woes with birth control. VP tends to be the place where people go with their problems, so we don't often hear good stories or see posts that say 'everything is going well'.
So I'd like to start a thread where people post good stuff.
So, what contraception are you using, what do you like about it? Are there any side effects? How do you cope with them? Would you ever change it? What disasters have you had with other methods before? How long did it take you to find the method that you are using now?
To start the ball rolling, I'm having a copper IUD fitted in 2 weeks time. I've tried mirena, Depo provera, 7 different types of combined pill and 2 types of progestogen only pills. I won't try the implant because the hormones are the same as a POP I've tried, which failed for me. My mirena expelled. Depo provera made me completely incapable of producing natural lubrication and I also bled the whole time. HBC makes me gain weight and breakout in acne, as well as have hot flushes and evil migraines.
I had a copper T IUD before and loved it, only switched to mirena because I didn't like the heavier periods. But now I've found a few supplements that should help, so I'm more hopeful this time.

Depression and sex
May. 16th, 2008 06:46 pmpreciouslilme.livejournal.comAfter a five year hiatus my depression is unfortunately back with a vengeance. I'm confused though: my sex drive has gone through the roof but I'm scared of actually having sex with my boyfriend because I'm afraid I'll think he's using me/doesn't really love me etc (all reoccurring themes with me as it is, but ones which have not made an appearance in over a month now). I know that it could be different for me than others, but I'm wondering if anyone has been in this situation and acted either way and if it helped? If I can stay away from that thinking then I think having sex with him could actually help, because it will make me feel loved/cared for but I'm afraid it will go the other way...I know there are no definite answers but I'm curious as to what other's have experienced.
oh-brianna.livejournal.comOK so I have looked through the memories, and there isn't much about this topic. (or i just didnt look very well!)
I have been on the pill for twoish years, the same kind. (Orthotricyclen) Today I noticed a stain on my new white undies. (DAMMIT!) TMI: The color is rusty, more a light orangy brown. I know I don't have a yeastie, I used to get them all the time, and I take my pill almost the same time every night.
I shouldnt start my period until next week, so that means that I have 2 active pills left in my pack for this month.
Should I be worried? I've never spotted before on the pill, but I should mention im sexually active, with the same guy for 2ish years, but we don't use condoms. (I know, bad).
HELPPP please ladies ! (and gents?)
Thank you :-)

Basic Diva Cup questions
May. 16th, 2008 08:33 pmdreaa-x3.livejournal.comHey girls!
This is my first post here... I actually created my lj so I could post to this community, lol. Anyway, I've been really looking into getting a Diva Cup after reading so many good things about it here. The only thing is, I don't know where to find it!! Its not sold in any stores around where I live, and I have no problem with ordering online, but the prices of it vary with each website I visit. How much did you guys pay for yours and did you just order off of the Diva Cup website? If not, would you guys be kind enough to link me up? Thanks!! :)

holycrap1234.livejournal.comSo i definitely was NOT using my personal account with this gem of a story i''m about to tell.
I was driving home from work tonight and it was late..around 10pm and rainy. Less than halfway home i notice that i really need to poop but as usual i figure i'll hold it. The need to go gets really really terrible and i am doing EVERYTHING i can to make it home. I don't know what happened in such a short time to make it so terrible. The route i took home didn't have any stores that were open at that time so i wasn't able to stop and use a bathroom. I really thought that i could make it home.
It was the worst experience of my life! I was right about to round the corner my house when the most mortifying thing happened. I, a woman in my mid-twenties POOPED MY PANTS.
I won't get into the gory details because the whole thing is embarrassing enough.
The problem is. Because i was sitting while this happened poop got up onto and in my vagina :( :( I took a shower immediately after i got home and did everything i could to clean up. But the entrance to my vagina is really sore and burns when i pee like if i'd had rough sex. I keep trying to pee and i've noticed that when i wipe it looks like i must have some poop somewhere up in there. Ugh, so gross! I can't believe this.
I'm not sure if the soreness is because of the straining i did trying not to poop my pants because i feel like it's way too quick to feel symptoms of a UTI. But i figure i'm going to get a UTI either way because poop & vaginas should never mix. It's so frustrating because i can't flush myself out. I've never douched before and am not sure that'd be a good idea?
Please help! What could be going on? What should i do?

missed pill
May. 16th, 2008 11:18 pmmykissmightkill.livejournal.comI'm sure this has been asked many times and I'm pretty sure I am ok, but i wanted to ask.
I take the pill Enpresse, substitute for Tri-Levlen. I take my pill on time at 11:30 pm every day. however My bf and I do not use condoms and the night we had sex, I remembered I needed to take it after we had done it, got distracted when I went to find something in the kitchen, and then forgot to take my pill. When my alarm went off today, at 11:30 to take todays pill, that is when i realized I didnt take thursdays pill so I took both todays and thursdays. I am on a 28 day cycle and am currently on the 14th pill which is the one I took tonight. From what I read I should still be protected. Is that correct?
The only thing that worries me is that my friend's bf's sister was on the pill and from what I know, she claimed that she forgot to take her pill just one night when they got drunk on a cruise and now she has a kid...
Thanks for any answers!!

When my alarm went off today, at 11:30 to take todays pill, that is when i realized I didnt take thursdays pill so I took both todays and thursdays. I am on a 28 day cycle and am currently on the 14th pill which is the one I took tonight. From what I read I should still be protected. Is that correct?
The only thing that worries me is that my friend's bf's sister was on the pill and from what I know, she claimed that she forgot to take her pill just one night when they got drunk on a cruise and now she has a kid...
Thanks for any answers!!
