Some days I think I would have been better off if I were still working, but I love every single minute I get to spend with Davian. He has really turned into a big mama's boy since I've been home but he's doing great! Thanks for asking :-) Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 1999 Report Share Posted July 21, 1999 , Glad to hear that you are getting treatment. Hope all is well. How do you like the sahm world? How is Davian? Wendi Just a little info From: LilNukie@... Hello Ladies. I know I haven't been around much lately but this SAHM mom thing is a lot of work lol! I just wanted to pass on some information that may be a little inappropriate but may help someone else out. Ever since Davian was born I've been having vaginal burning whenever I wash/shower that area. I have not been able to have decent sex because it burns so bad we have to stop every time we get started. I've been dealing with this on my own for the past 7 months and FINALLY decided to go to the doctor thinking maybe they injured my urethra with the catheter. Anyway...come to find out I have what is called " atrophic vaginitis " . Because I'm breastfeeding and not ovulating I'm not producing enough estrogen and my uterine lining has thinned out which also causes vaginal dryness. I have to use estrogen cream vaginally now and hopefully will be able to continue with a normal sex life once again pretty soon. Here's a link to a great site I found about atrophic vaginitis. <A HREF= " http://obgyn.uihc.uiowa.edu/Patinfo/Vulvar/vaginitis.htm " >Click here: ATROPHIC VAGINITIS - VULVAR/VAGINAL DISEASE CLINIC </A> Again I'm sorry if this was inappropriate to discuss here, but this problem was related to breastfeeding and there's always a possibility that somebody is having the same problem. Love, SAHM to Davian Luciano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU Stacie >> Stacie- So glad to help someone else. You know what...I went to my regular doctor a couple of weeks ago and mentioned the burning to him. He prescribed some antibiotics which I never got filled. Hmmm...I think I'll write him a nice little letter letting him know what is really wrong with me.

But after trying a few home remedies, for a yeast infection which DID help ALOT(THANKS & Wendi) with the itching and etc, that I was having, but did not get rid of the burning, I began to think it had to be something more serious, because I can NOT get rid of it...... And it has been even WORSE since I quit taking the mini pill, so I will ask my GYN next Friday when I go for my pap and see if she thinks this could be the problem SO THANKS, you have helped me a great deal, especially if this IS my problem, which I suspect it is Thanks Stacie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 1999 Report Share Posted July 22, 1999 Stacie- The itching just started for me yesterday, but if I hadn't gone to the GYN just the day before (which she checked for infections) I would have also thought I have a yeast infection. Just so you know my doctor prescribed Estrace for me. Best of luck and again I'm glad I could pass along some helpful info. Hope you get it worked out soon also.
