2 words I didn't think I'd hear today...

"Vaginal atrophy." 

I went to the gyn because I have an itchy boob and an itchy ladypart. She gave me nystatin for the boob, but said it didn't look like yeast down below. Nope, I'm most likely suffering from vaginal atrophy.

But wait, you say, that only happens to menopausal women in commercials for HRT!

Evidently, it can happen to nursing moms who are on the mini-pill, too. 

Tell me I'm not the only woman under 55 who's had those words mentioned to her.

Yikes! I don't even know what that is but it doesn't sound fun! Hope you get back to normal ASAP!

Whaaaaaaaat! Did they give you some cream? When I went to the OB for my scar tissue post-birth, they gave me cream and also said it's for menopausal women.

She said she could give me cream, but her recommendation was to go off the mini-pill and just use condoms.

I said to her, ha, H will love that /sarcasm/. Oh, wait, it's not like we're DTD anyways!

Lol, I've considered getting off the mini pill as well. Ugh, I could post my own post for my complaining about the mini pill... maybe I will.... but it's not like I'm ever going to get pregnant again with the way my sex life is lookin.

It's weird you said that. While I'm not having problems 'down below' (except for my five days of spotting from being off the mini pill for a weekstarting it again FML)

I frequently get little red dots on my left boob. It totally sucks. But not as much as what you got. I'm so sorry.
