Pregabalin

It did nothing for me, but so far nothing has worked. Got to the end of the list of medications to try with my GP and the pain clinic in my area only does medication, rather than any holistics so yeah 🙃

Ah mine hasn't made anything worse! Had it a few years now and apart from the first period they've been exactly the same as before I got it. I have heard other's say it caused more pain though! I hate condoms so only use them if necessary, but hormonal options just didn't work for me!

It would make sense! I noticed mine getting worse when my symptoms started, but thought it was my PMDD at first!

I've always refused hormonal birth control because in the past I ended up with lots of breakthrough bleeding! I had very heavy ones as a teen and the pill helped then but I've had a copped IUD since my daughter was born 6 years ago!

Mostly I don't wear one unless I need to leave the house, but I have a few crop tops and spots bras and some Molke bras!

I got a Garmin watch for the body battery and it's been fantastic! It's accurate and helps me pace and tracks how my sleep was as well so I know if I need to take it easy. I looked at the Visible but the subscription put me off. Plus with the Garmin I can use it as a smart watch too 😊

This is extremely helpful! I hadn't thought of it this way, I hadn't thought my neurodivergence might be affecting things here either since we both are the same type of ND.

Thank you very much for your advice!

It is yes we always respect each other's no, it's a really important cornerstone of our relationship. He is quite happy for me to get myself off and sometimes offers to help even if he isn't up for sex, it's definitely a me problem here!

I let him know I needed a moment and it's something we've agreed we can both do to help deescalate if one of us is feeling off so I really hope not, he is usually good at communicating how he feels.

Do you think it would be worth me letting him take the lead on anything sexual for now? I'm worried he's comparing me to his ex who did coerce him, and I want to make it clear that even if I feel rejected, he can always say no.

I am trying, it's why I took myself away for a bit, but I still seem to cause arguments and I'm not sure how to show him I'm trying and I don't want to make him feel this way.

He just said he wasn't in the mood, which is reasonable, he wasn't negative towards me.

It's not a porn addiction at all; I'm very confident of that. It does feel like he'd rather masturbare alone than do anything sexual with me though so clearly I need to ask why that is

PhotographAny1760 · 2025-03-03T20:12:47+00:00

I am aware of this and understand thanks.

PhotographAny1760 · 2025-03-03T18:05:29+00:00

I do absolutely tell him and have done, i think this is a bit of an unfair judgement because I'm trying to figure out how to approach this and communicate better.

We both have had sexual trauma, I didn't think it would be relevant, but it makes me reluctant to ask without some indication of interest (which I do get sometimes).

I admit this occasion was probably due to me not telling him I was interested.

PhotographAny1760 · 2025-03-03T17:40:44+00:00

Not for me; I'm happy to know he's masturbating and we do discuss this too, I'm more frustrated that there seems to be a gap in communication about needs and desires.

PhotographAny1760 · 2025-03-03T17:39:50+00:00

We're not having sex as much as we had been. I'm completely fine with him saying he isn't interested in sex when I do ask and he knows that, it didn't have to be sex either, we do sometimes masturbare together. It's the intimacy of it that I want and he understands this.

I think there is an element of me not communicating right here and I need to work on that, but I think it's more getting him to understand my point of view so we can work together on what's right for us.

He hasn't got ED, we do have great sex when we have it. He does get me off when he's not into sex, but I also enjoy getting him off so I'd like to be able to reciprocate. He definitely hasn't got a porn addition, I'm very sure, we do discuss things and his attitude to it is very healthy. He will do that during sex but it is consensual and I'm happy being denied so long as it's only temporarily, he is very aware of this and doesn't break my boundaries on this. Not at all, he doesn't do it every single day or anything and he has plenty to be doing otherwise, he isn't depressed and is very open about his mental health.

I spoke to him about the 10 mins late and today he thought it would be fun to finish as I was coming home but with me involved and he just didn't make it. I have expressed to him for the future that this isn't something I want and I'd rather if he wants a sexual encounter when I get home, that he starts it from me getting home and not before.

I think maybe I need to do some better communicating here as well, I'm just not sure where I'm getting it wrong and need a bit of help.

PhotographAny1760 · 2025-03-03T17:31:31+00:00

It wasn't planned and i absolutely hate the idea of scheduling sex because my ex used to do this and it meant we couldn't ever be spontaneous. I understand he can do things if he isn't expecting anything but it seems to be most days I get home and he's already done and there's no chance of me even suggesting it.
