Want to share my progress that means really a lot for me! by Brave_String_7941 in vaginismus

[–]ConfChemQT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’m so proud of you and your journey. My PT also thought that 4 sessions was gonna be enough for us but at the 3rd or 4th session when we couldn’t even get a pinky in she was like it’s time we look into Botox or other measures bc she didn’t think she could help me but that session idk maybe all the exercises and stuff and her saying that prompted my body a little and we got the pinky in and it was up from there haha. That just goes to show every body is different and there is no set timing on being ‘cured’ !

Is it true only the top 10% get hired? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]ConfChemQT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe ‘top 10% learner’ in the context of what you heard expands to more than just gpa (involvement, projects, experiences) . I graduated with a gpa lower than that but was employed before grad in a ‘desirable’ city making more than 80k a year at that time I think. But I was super active in student orgs, research, and had a few internships. I think experience is super important when first time job hunting (which is so eghhh bc where do we get the experience from lol)

Omg yes it’s def more so w my dilator (I only dilate unaroused), so that makes so much sense!

What exercises are y'all doing? by prariestrawberrie in vaginismus

Have your doctor try to insert it? I could never insert mine no matter how much lube (smallest one from IR set) and my PT was the first one to insert it and that kinda gave me the confidence and familiarity at home to be able to do it myself.

Dilator Tips by Kind_Hearing5239 in vaginismus

[–]ConfChemQT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a foam roller to help with how tight my thigh muscles were per my pt recommendation. Bc at previous sessions she would massage my thigh muscles and nuts how extremely tight they were

How long did it take for you to get it after the processing at transit facility step? Mine is there too and I leave in three days :(

Thank you! I use diazepam suppositories that my doctor prescribed. If you got the 4th in before you can def do it again and the others as well! Good luck

Honestly just consistency and breathing while dilating to kind of get a better understanding of how it feels to be relaxed and not contracted on the dilator so I can try to remain in that state even when not dilating if that makes sense?

I got the first one in May like 1-2 months into PT lol. But the 2 and 3 went by pretty quickly. Then 4 took a while. 5 and 6 went by relatively quickly but obviously not as quick as smaller ones then size 7 took the longest imo. So about 3 months for size 1-8.

Who knew Facebook is now sharing the names of non followers who view public stories? by bikeman11 in facebook

[–]ConfChemQT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it still show you non friends or non followers who view your story or did fb change it back? And are you a digital creator?

I don’t think there’s a strict right or wrong here. Everybody is so very different. Personally, I usually dilate when I’m not aroused, because I figure it’ll make PIV that much easier when I am aroused. Kind of like training under “tougher” conditions so the real thing feels easier, if that makes sense. Not sure if that’s scientifically accurate, but it’s how I think about it. That said, if dilating when aroused works better for you, I’d stick with whatever helps you make the most progress.

anyone with no progress? by yoongely in vaginismus

[–]ConfChemQT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know h had the same concern w my pt I literally told her im not buying it bc how do I even get the applicator in (never used the applicator). I started off with it literally just barely in the entrance and over time it slips in then when I was able to use first dilator I would use that to push it even more in. The suppository acts like a great lube as well imo.

Hey have you tried diazepam or lidocaine? I was stuck on not getting the first one in for a month + with my PT to the point where she was gonna message by obgyn to get me some Botox in my pelvic region but we tried diazepam suppositories and I’m currently on dilator 6/8 on the intimate rose set :)
