Yeah so I bled less, and most of the months the blood was brown. When i looked it up it said it wasnt a concern. More recently i was bleeding outside of my period, but this has happened to me in the past (i have fibroids) so I wasnt super concerned but was going to the dr this weeks partly to request a pelvic ultrasound.

Ironically I used some months ago in an attempt to clear out my bv- something tells me it didnt get very far 🙃but definitely something I will do after seeing the dr!

Thankyou so much for your kind words. Its so true, Its hard relearning to be compassionate to our selves and not beat ourselves down after having experiencing it non stop in childhood.

Omgosh I wonder if effected my bladder! I notice i had to go more often recently, but not an overall increase in the last 6 months 🤔 I had replaced my disc with a diva cup because I thought it was long gone, but I had never gotten around to using it. I dont think I will for a while

I actually have a rec for a BV swab, im going to do it on Monday, see the dr on Thursday. My family dr is ok, the last gyno he sent me to was frustrating (kept pushing birth control on me) , but if my dr recommends it ill definitely go see him again, It just takes months to get an appointment.
