TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Update on me

I finally got an answer to all the itching, burning, and other crap I've been dealing with down there, but it's not a good one. I have vulvar vestibulitis. It's basically inflammation of my lady parts. It may never go away. There are some steriod creams I can try (have to talk to RE), but most of what I've read said that it's more of a mind/body thing. So I credit my stressful job and TTC (and my recurrent infections). At this point I'm pretty upset and wondering if I'll ever feel normal again. We are putting off the Clomid challenge and IUI for another cycle and I'm going to try acupuncture to see if it helps.

  • This sounds so uncomfortable.  I am sorry for what you are going through.  MY thoughts and prayers are with you.

  • I have to agree with T, that there are many jokes you could 'insert here'.  BUT, I think it really sucks you have to deal with this.  I hope the accupuncture or another treatment works for you and you can get back to TTC.  I am sure the stress is hard to avoid.  It seems like once you find out something is caused at all by stress, it just makes you more stressed and continues the cycle.  Hugs!
