Embarrasing question :(

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone knows how long the dryness down there lasts? I had my daughter on 21st nov via c section & have tried a few times but have to stop as it gets to dry & sore

No idea sorry, just invest in some trusty old KY! x

lol, I'm not keen as any time we use anything like that I get really sore down there after, even if I wash straight after I guess I must b sensitive or something.

I'm the same hun

I would say the same use some KY!

I think I have thrush actually which is causing my dryness, need to get the Canestan out!

Its such a pain

I'm the same hun. I hate KY too! Are you bf. I wonder if that's it with me? Like the hormones telling my body it's not ready x

 

[p1nk11]

No hun not bf x

i had my LO 2nd nov and ive never had that problem.. Why does it happen??

 

[p1nk11]

its caused by the decrease in estrogen after birth xx

 

[Princess81]

I wonder if agnus castus would help? It's a natural hormone balancing supplement. I don't know a great deal about it but it may be worth having a look at it x

Thanks hun I might give it a try It would b much easier if my OH would have a shower wiv me

I have the same problem
the dr prescribed me vagisil cream, but I am a bit reluctant to use something to numb things iykwim

 

[p1nk11]

I was thinking of asking my dr or a pharmacist if there is anything but im to . I know its silly but I got really this morning when we tried but had to stop AGAIN!!!!, more frustration than anything. Is it to much to ask, all I want is a bit of , surely its not that much? (oops getting a bit carried away there, sorry) xx

It has killed our love life

Think DH is a bit stuck, I'm glad to read that others have the same problems (well I'm not but good to know I seem to be normal!)

 

[p1nk11]

I know what you mean hun thats another reason why I posted, its one thing to be told that its normal but better when you speak to others who have it or had it x

I had the same up until round about now...which is 5 months later. We used ky type stuff. Good luck hon!
