How do I tell whoever I'm sleeping with that it wasn't "that great"? I don't want to lie if I'm not particularly satisfied...

TIA

Hey all. So I posted about having a yeast infection last week. I went to the doctor's, she gave me a pill, and also told me to use monistat 3 at the same time. Annd I'm still itchy. And I know why. Apparently antibiotics can cause yeast infections, which I didn't know before, so I didn't tell my doctor I was on them (although they should be on my record, no?) so I guess she might've given me something different. Anyways. The whole point is, I'm going insane because I feel like I'm going to be stuck with this forever. Like, it's been three weeks since my initial appointment, and I had to wait two weeks for a follow-up. My mom said she once had to go to a special gynecologist to get something to help her with yeast infections when she's been on antibiotics. My question is, while I'm waiting, is there *anything* that can work even against antibiotic-induced yeast infections?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Okay, so this weekend I have a fencing competition and my period, being the lovely little device that it is, decides to start yesterday! It usually does come until close to the 15th, but not this time....the 6th. So now I'm worrying about what to do.

I've never been to this particular competition so I'm not sure how it works or how I can manage a period at the "venue", if you will. The thing that has me stressed the most is my pants. All day Sunday I'll be donning a pair of tight fencing knickers...that are stark WHITE! I've never been on my period while fencing in these pants so I don't know what to expect.

What preventative measures can I take to stop any "mishaps" from happening with my nice white knickers?

The only thing that I can think of is wearing a tampon and a pad...

Thanks for your help!

I usually have sex when my period starts to end, but evertyime so far when we do it on say the fifth or sixth day of my period after sex, i get a much much heavier flow and the blood is more red than brown and its usual color.

should i be worried about this? does this happen to anyone else? is it normal? i know i should ask a gyn but right now i dont have health care to see one and a planned parenthood is two hours away.

is this normal? does anyone else experience this? should i be worried?

My scent from a year ago is back. Sweet, pleasant and mine. All mine. I used yogurt for two nights, one spoonful, kept it in overnight and wore a pad. Plain, whole milk yogurt.

I am overjoyed. Hopefully it doesn't come back. The thought of reoccurence makes me nervous. I might just go for one more night to be safe.

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!
My vagina makes me proud.

I see problem posts usually, and I just wanted to share my bit of success. ^_^

I'm really, really freaking out. Someone must have heard of this or something like it (or at least know enough to be able to tell me this is normal) - please help me!

Normally, I have a 5 week cycle. Sometimes it's a few days longer but it's about 35 days. And my period is about 7 days. First I get cramps and general PMS, then I get a light day, then a fairly heavy one, then a REALLY heavy one, then it just gets less and less until it's over. And it's ALWAYS like this. Somewhere between a year and half a year ago the light bit at the start got longer by a few hours, but that's all, and during that time I had sex for the first time and also started using cloth pads, so I wasn't bothered by a tiny change.

However, this cycle I got what I can only assume was ovulation bleeding, which I've never, ever had before (I sometimes get ovulation pains but I don't even get that every month). Then my period started without cramps, and with 3 light days instead of one. At the end of that 3rd light day (which was last night), I had sex, only we had to stop halfway through because I was bleeding heavily. I was so worried that I rang NHS Direct, only I could barely speak to them. :( The nurse ran me through a list of things like, are your lips blue, have you had a miscarriage recently, have you sustained an injury to your genitals... and I just said no to everything, so she told me to get some rest and if the bleeding doesn't slow down, ring an ambulance. I kinda felt like a hypochondriac, but oh well :/ But afterwards, the bleeding stopped abruptly and it's been back to light, slightly brown flow again. I am freaking out so much, I can't cope with so many changes, I'm so worried something is horribly wrong with me. I just don't know why all this has happened. I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant (I have not had unprotected sex), and I don't use HBC so it's not like this is a side effect of changing it or anything like that. I'm so frightened I am shaking, so apologies if this post comes off a bit stupid. I've never heard of anything like this before, but, to be honest, I hadn't heard of ovulation bleeding until I looked it up in a similar but slightly lesser panic!

Monday, for the first time ever, I decided to be a good person and donate blood through the American Red Cross. I asked the one question I was concerned about: will this affect my birth control? Nope. Great. And to the best of my knowledge, it hasn't. But that's not really what I'm here for...

I'm here because ever since the donation I've noticed a weird scent and taste down south. I asked my boyfriend, and he said it was a little weird -- as in not normal for me -- but not unbearable. I'm kind of weirded out. Is there any correlation between the 2 at all or is this some weird coincidence? I know that they took a pint of blood from me...would it have thrown anything off?

I looked and tried to find something on this but I didn't see anything. So I was in the shower today and I noticed a beauty mark in the inner lids of my vagina. I know for a fact its never been there before and it must have shown up within the past 1-2 days. What does this mean? Is it something to be worried about?

Hi VP, if you can make it through this serenade of sexual woe, I will be grateful for your perspectives.

And it began in October 2006 )

So, VP... I need help.

1. How can I get to the root of this shyness and unwillingness to take control of my own sex life with my boyfriend?

2. I want to get past the whole OMG SUCKING DICK thing and feel less ridiculous when I'm trying to work myself up into trying for all of the second time ever. Suggestions? Experiences?

3. I don't know what to tell him when he's down there. I honestly would rather almost stick to PIV and just self-orgasm when he's not around because again, I feel totally... embarrassed expressing myself sexually around my boyfriend. I don't even know what I like, I've never done much beyond PIV and partners going down on me and getting handsy.

4. I really, really, REALLY prefer the person I am with to be in charge of things but I've always been with really adventurous partners before. Not so here. How can I make our situation work to our advantage?

5. Is this a silly post?

Alright. So I posted a while back about this influx in discharge and it turns out I was getting a YI. The next day that tell tale discharge started. I got myself some 3 day cream, used it, and all was well. The itching and the burning and the extra discharge have all cleared.

The odd thing was, there was never a change in my odor.

Until after I finished treatment. Now I notice that I smell.... well to be very frank, i smell like a penis. Instead of that scent that I associate with my vagina, my discharge instead has that coppery metallic semen smell... sort of like I just had sex and I'm cleaning it all out.

Except I haven't just have sex. Or been anywhere near a boy.

I don't know, I have a gyn appointment on Tuesday so I'm going to ask then for sure... but it's very odd for me to have developed a smell that I consider to be so male.

new undies

So I, like so many of you, experience stained undies.

When I went on Depo, I spotted a lot for a month or so and it stained a LOT of my underwear. But I am a college kid and can't necessarily afford to replace all of them.

My question is: is there somewhere (online, preferably) that I could buy inexpensive, cute underwear? I'm trying to avoid granny panties.

For women with high blood pressure, what kind of birth control do you use?

My doctor is having a hard time figuring out why my BP is high and my medication won't curb it and he won't issue me birth control until it's down. Planned Parenthood won't issue me birth control without a doctor's notice because of the BP issue, too.

I'm considering going to a gyno and discussing a hormone free IUD, but I'm only 18 and in an only semi-serious relationship. Is the gyno going to turn me down because of my BP, too? Cause I can't afford to go and not get something out of the visit.

Smegma?

I just looked "down there" and found white stuff between my outer lips and inner lips. I just wiped it away with toilet paper. Is this normal or am i the only one? Please forgive such a stupid question, but I NEVER look down there, so its all new to me.

Thanks vp'ers
