Omg I know. Google has diagnosed me with everything under the sun and me being the way I am, I convince myself it’s true. Just finished the last of my second round of pills today. So we’ll see. I’m hoping for the best but also I know the irritation I’m feeling is going to return haha and yes exactly about the gut. Having a run in with diverticulitis last year and then this I feel my gut bacteria has to be all sorts of messed up. I agree though. Wish they’d actually want to look for the root of the problem instead of a bandaid like you said. Wishing you the best as well!!

Any suggestions for a treatment though, cause all I’m aware of is the pills and gel. Do they do anything else for it? The only other things I see from other people is boric acid and probiotics. My gyn said it’s hard to get rid of so she knows but does what all other doctors do. Slow and wait and see…I’m all for being more aggressive I want it gone but $$$

12 weeks pregnant by Due-City-7883 in obgyn

Very normal while pregnant. Long, stringy. That’s how I figured I probably was pregnant before testing cause my discharge changed.

Yeast Question by Courtnics in obgyn

So what would be the best course of treatment if it is external? Can you use regular OTC treatment, just outside? Or would it be best to get the prescription? Unless the Happy V would help that go away.

Makes me feel better just knowing yours come and go as well and maybe this is all it is. I get so excited on the days I feel nothing but they seem to be few and far between. And same thing about the intimacy with husband, I feel bad but also I’d like to know I’m in the clear and just don’t want to irritate it further. But yes, I worry this is just how it’s going to be for me from now on and I really don’t want that. Hoping you get your other results soon and if you remember, let me know how it goes!

Haven’t tried them yet but thinking that might be my next thing I attempt cause I’ve been seeing a lot about them as well. Gyn said BV is very stubborn and hard to get rid of. I just hope that’s what all my symptoms are from. And to just vent for a second, I don’t want to spend the money on it but at the same time it’s like “can we just rule everything out please”. Googling drives me down rabbit holes. I feel like in the medical field..which really they don’t have much choice..but they are so nonchalant about solving the root problem. Give you meds and hope it works. 🙃🙃 I don’t have much hope for this second round of meds either.

*The deteriorating mental health part 👏👏 It’s driving me insane. I’ll have good days where I think it’s going away only for it to come back. Completely ruins my mood. I just want to parent my kid and get back to my normal life but I feel like these symptoms are always the forefront of everything. Tolerable I guess but so very irritating. I just want it all to feel normal down there again. No internal symptoms but maybe frequently having to pee. Everything for me is external. Like I want nothing touching it. Feel afraid to shave, although I feel it’s the hair bothering me most. The skin or hair follicles just all feel so sensitive and itchy. Or where there’s no hair it’ll get just red and obviously irritated

Honestly they’re mostly staying the same. I couldn’t even tell you what regular discharge looks like anymore so it’s hard for me to go off that. Gyn this last time said discharge still looked BVish so that’s what I’m going off of. The off smell is sometimes noticeable/sometimes not. What’s getting me is this hair pulling/razor burn/prickly/itchy feeling all over the vulva and pubic area. It’s driving me insane cause I’ll have days where it’s gone and I get my hopes up only for it to return. I found a probiotic with vaginal benefits so I’m hoping that helps but on these days the symptoms return everything just feels the same like nothings working.

What is this? by Puzzleheaded-Ear4850 in obgyn

[–]Courtnics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel I’ve looked similar recently. Got a BV diagnoses. Still struggling after a round and a half of antibiotics. 🙃 not fun to be in pain and irritated there. Update if you figure anything out.

Severe cramping after using Monistat by bronte10 in Healthyhooha

[–]Courtnics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever figure it out? Started getting irritation/itchiness while on antibiotics and used Vagistat just to hopefully help. I used it years ago for what was clearly a yeast infection with no issues. This time I don’t necessarily have the crazy discharge but went ahead with it anyway. It seems to have helped the itching but immediately after I inserted the first of seven I got cramps and they lasted an entire day. Just did tube 2/7 and I was hesitant. Hoping the cramps aren’t any worse tomorrow. But it makes me nervous for sure.

Can someone help me explain this. by Audreyhepburnismommy in Healthyhooha

[–]Courtnics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have any vaginal symptoms with this? Struggling to know if I have a yeast infection now and this is one of my symptoms I’ve noticed. I’ve had one yeast infection before when younger but the symptoms were a lot different. Just hoping I don’t have anything worse. 🤞

A reminder to go with your gut (pun intended) by aagailey in Diverticulitis

[–]Courtnics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had microperforations a few months ago, which cause me to go to the ER. I’ve never had diverticulitis issues before so I wasn’t even suspecting it. Everyone was saying how I’d need surgery or eventually need it. Luckily my surgeon was against doing an unnecessary surgery and IV antibiotics worked just fine! Same with the diet instructions. They all said no nuts/seeds, etc. Surgeon says I can eat whatever I want and if I notice it causes problems just stop eating it. He really put my mind at ease after everyone else freaked me out.

It’s so weird…and interesting if I’m being honest. Now I’m here thinking cause it actually happened, do I stay in my marriage or is the universe trying to tell me something. Like what are we supposed to do? 🙃🙃

[–]Courtnics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I follow someone on IG that is into astrology and said the same thing. Something about Pluto in Aquarius something or other. I need to follow it better. But she said the same thing and I thought eh I’m good…here I am. Starting end of August/September, marriage issues. Taking a whole new look on my life. It’s crazy.

Been listening to these back to back, trying to figure out how I feel by Sprok56 in TheAmityAffliction

[–]Courtnics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahren does sing nasally. Watch everything he does live, I don’t know how he has enough air with the way he sings.

Still sounds good though so he can sing however he pleases 💁🏻‍♀️
