Hysterosonogram vs. transvaginal ultrasound

[disturbedme.livejournal.com]

Hey.

I was just curious who here has had a hysterosonogram? My gynecologist set up an appointment for me to have one because a CT scan picked up that I had a cyst on my left ovary with the left ovary being enlarged. They also saw that I have a bicornuate uterus/heart shaped uterus (though I already knew that from CT scans in the past).

I have no idea why he rushed into me wanting to have a hysterosonogram. Actually, at first he wanted me to have laparoscopy because he thinks I *could* have endometriosis. But then he decided against the laparoscopy and decided on the hysterosonogram.

I should have asked him why not just do a transvaginal ultrasound because that can see a cyst on an ovary fine from everything I've read/heard. And supposedly it can see the shape of the uterus fine as well.

For those of you who have had a hysterosonogram, is it REALLY painful? I read that it can be painful but only for a short time while they are putting the saline solution in your uterus, etc... And also, did any of you get an infection from having it done? I read that it has a small chance of causing an infection and I am not sure that's a good idea with my immune system the way it is.

Thanks!

Discharge/infections everytime I have Intercourse with BF

I have had BV and YI since I started having sex with my boyfriend in August. Ive been treated multiple times and It keeps happening.
These are the things I am thinking about doing:

Burning my underwear and throwing away all my pants
Bleaching my bathroom
Lysol the rest of my clothes
Taking some probiotics


I am at a loss here. I am going to the doctor monday and my BF is finally coming with and maybe he can get treated also? Do you think this all could be happening because he drinks beer everyday? (I maybe have a drink once a week and its never beer)

Its getting so bad that sometimes the discharge is light pink and my vag is so sore and itchy.

Please help me stop reinfecting myself. Each doctor visit is 250 dollars and Im at the point where bill collectors are starting to call. Plus I feel horrible about myself and Im losing my sex drive. I just want to be healthy happy and sexual.

Background on me: Ive lost 50 pounds this year and my immune system is low. Ive never had an STD or vag infection until I met this boy.

overweight sex?

i tried checking the memories and i couldn't find anything that really fit this particular question.

i have a new partner and we're both overweight. sex seems to be a bit on an issues presumably from that also because he's not.. very well endowed. i was wondering if there were any suggestions for positions where it may work? we've previously tried missionary, me on top, and doggie. i'm starting to wondering if it's even possible :-/ TIA

ETA: we have had fun doing plenty of other of stuff, but i do like PIV as well. he wouldn't come out and say it, but i think it bothered him that it couldn't happen. thanks!

Severe drop in sex drive

[damn-hookers.livejournal.com]

OK so.... I've been dating my BF for a little over 6 months.  We started having sex about 2 months into the relationship.  Everything was great.  Amazing even.  He couldn't get enough.  We'd have sex no less than 10 times a week.  The last 2 months or so, it's like he does it because he knows I expect it almost.  I'm lucky if I get it once a week now.  And before sex during my period didn't other him at all.  He always rolled his eyes when I said no for that reason.  Now...... if I'm even CLOSE, he avoids it saying, "Well, sometimes it bothers me, sometimes it doesn't." 

I just don't get it.  I have never felt more unattractive in my life!  I've brought it up a few times and he says he doesn't want our relationship to revolve around sex.  He use to tell me how beautiful I was all the time, now I barely hear it at all.  He tells me he loves me all the time and I honestly don't think he's cheating.  He's just not that type.  I've known him for over 10 years.  Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this issue or what could be causing it?  I'm completely at a loss here ....

Plus size pubic grooming standards?

First time poster, but long time non-member lurker.

In the past year I've found that I thoroughly enjoy the way having a bare pussy feels, during regular running around type stuff and sexual activity. I've gotten that all sorted out, but when I decided that I wanted to have less to deal with on my mons, I realized that I had *no* idea about what would work aesthetically. I'm a big girl, so the styling choices that are available to smaller women don't make sense for me, kind of like wearing hipster pants. :) After a lot of consideration - mostly comfort, but I do like how that patch accentuates the curves - I know I'd like to keep a reasonable amount of hair, but I'm at a loss on how to trim/style it in a way that with look good as well as feel right. I have very pale skin and near black public hair, so it's a nice break in the landscape, so to speak, but while there's a good deal of it, it's not particularly dense. I'm at a loss.

My questions are thus: how do other women in my size/shape style that specific area, and, if you find it to be so, what looks do you find attractive on plus size women?

If you have examples on Tumblr or relatively non-porn spam prone sites, please do post links, as even with a mirror, getting this job done without a proper visual could easily end in hilarious disaster.
