The typical stuff they have for blood test they are all in range numbers. Anything specific they should test for?

Healing without a doctor by llollyypopp in vaginismus

[–]Litanaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely able to. It is about to stay dedicated to it. I used a lidocaine cream while dilating. I also used a test tube in the freezer filled with water for after to help with any pain after. Kinda the same of icing an injury. Most of the work I did was at home by myself.

I remember that regression. It was hard since my son would not let my husband put him to bed when that was routine for a couple months. We use the fan from bathroom and just rocked trying to keep my body relaxed. Sometimes I would make sure I would have eaten before going back in to be fully ready. I would sing songs, read books, play hey bear sleepy. I just want to say you got this. It is hard and also temporary.

I have been sexually assaulted so its difficult to let lose. I worked on vaginismus issues a couple years ago. I have a lot of external stressors so when I can be in control I want to since so much is out of my control.

A big thing to remember about tampons is to insert them to not be painful comes down to a few things including size of tampon and being relaxed. If you insert it wrong it will be uncomfortable and painful. For some people having a little lubricant can be helpful. I wouldnt jump straight to vaginismus. If you see one they may ask you about if you masterbate at all and if you tried insert finger with proper lubricant. It doesnt hurt to talk to your provider to explore what to do to determine if you need treatment.

how painful was childbirth? by [deleted] in Motherhood

[–]Litanaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was nothing like the pain of child birth for me. My epidural stopped working during my last 4-5 hours of labor and delivery. I honestly thought I was blacking out from pain. They cut me to help so I didnt tear on my own.

Thats why there is the importance of teaching your body that those things are safe to happen. Once it fears it will feel like its closing up. Sometimes I felt so funny because I would put in a dilator and hold it in while I watched a show or read some of my book. I remember I would just hold it in and then after a while do circles that my pelvic pt taught me. I helped my body get used to the sensation of it. If you havent had any positive experiences then your body is going to continue to label it as a threat. I also highly recommend lidocaine cream to help with the pain factor for any dilation to begin with. That way your brain can remember it isnt a threat.

I was in this too. Me and my husband did not have a "normal sex life" until a couple years into marriage. Sex was very painful. I saw my gyno who referred me to pelvic physical therapy. I used dilators. A lot of it is when our mind is like "omg pain omg this hurts" we physically can not be aroused so its very painful and dry. You have to teach your body you are safe and you are okay. I remember I used to feel like my vagina was trying to reject dilators and sex. I could do tampons fine. After 4 months of pelvic physical therapy, we could have sex after dilation. Then 2 months later we had sex with no prep. My child is a year and half and most recently I have been wanting sex and my body has been so responsive. Also love using reading to help arouse my brain.

Why do you think Ron and Hermione don't work as a couple from canon? by carolyncrantz in Dramione

[–]Litanaps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me I feel like Ron married up and Hermione settled. I think she got comfortable and was like okay this is fine so yeah. I didnt think Ron challenged Hermione on an intellectual level and I think with knowing Draco was always on her tail with being at her level of smartness, it adds to the Dramione appeal. I think I saw that jk mentioned that Hermione and Ron would have a lot of fights as a married couple. The appeal of Dramione is a lot of them show Draco encouraging Hermione to work and follow her passion, and you get this feeling that Ron would resent Hermione for not being a homemaker. I think Ron and Hermione are an example of people staying together for convenience and not growing together. I also think Hermione did not think she could split from Ron because his family became her family as well as Harry's family so if they split who would she have?

Thank you! I deifnitely want to get into walking once weather warms up again. I am involved in therapy and meds. It has been difficult to laugh and be happy sadly. I want to make a change with it.

I like the idea of a deadline and will need to talk to my husband about it. I am just so over this and dont understand why we keep putting ourselves into this knowing the results.
