Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi , I haven't really an answer, I just wanted to say thank you for bringing this up, because this has been the thing that has made me cry the most over the years, wanting children so badly, wanting a happy family with lots of kids and not being able to have sex and have children. I just wanted to know, like you, if someone here has been able to have sex and have children, before or after they started their treatments for the vulvar pain. My doc told me I could have children, but, the pain is so immense I haven't really wanted to have vaginal sex, we have tried a few times, but it just hurts too much. I have felt like crap because of this and this has also caused me a depression. I would love to be able to have sex like everyone else and know that if I am not having kids at the moment it is because of another reason, not the pain at having sex. And also, like you, I wonder about what happens at childbirth, if you tell the people at hospital that you have VV and so on, will they understand? Will they help? Is it good/bad to give birth vaginally when you have VV and others? Sincerely, pregnancy with VVS Hi,I'm starting to think about having a family over the next few years,now that I'm doing a little better and can have sex occasionally. Hasanyone had a child while you've had vulvodynia? I'm curious whetheryour symptoms got better/worse/stayed the same, and if you had anatural birth or c-section. I'm mostly terrified of having to givebirth naturally, and risk reactivating the nerves, and hurting mymuscles. What are your thoughts? I'd really appreciate it, as it's been on mymind a lot.thanks,**IF REPLYING TO THIS POST, PLEASE REMOVE ORIGINAL POST, THANKS**Our HOME page is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VulvarDisordersto search our archives, files, articles, etc.*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks for responding . Although I'm only 27 and have years to still have kids, it's always a fear of mine that the pain will get in the way of conceiving. I have definitely felt very depressed about this from time to time. I've had VVS for almost about 13 years, and the treatments I'm on are finally helping me a bit to the point where I can have sex 1-2 times a week, and I am starting to think about actually getting pregnant. I'm afraid that this is my window of opportunity (sorry to be so negative) - you know, what if the treatments stop working. Whenever I talk to anyone about this, I always get 'don't worry you have years, and you can always find a way'. I guess noone knows how to respond. Maybe this is a dumb question, but can you choose what type of birth you have (natural or c-sec)? I would much rather have a c-section.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi , I know exactly how you feel, I feel the exact same way. I'm also 27 years old and I'm married since I was 21. I got diagnosed a few months after the wedding, because our sex life was impossible, it kept hurting and hurting and hurting and I had a terrible yeast infection which then has returned a few times, it has been a while now since I didnt have a yeast infection thank God! My husband used to think I had all these problems with pain because I was a virgin when we got married, but, nowadays we know it has nothing to do with that. I understand your worry about not being able to have kids and so on, this has caused me a lot of depression as well, this is the issue that hurts the most with me, having kids, having sex, because both these things are so difficult for me, it feels like its never going to happen. I also get these type of answers, as you said, that I still have many years, that I can find a way, that I can adopt and so on, but the thing is, its not about being able to adopt, of course I know that I can adopt, I think its a matter of feeling like you cant be like everyone else, at least, this is the issue for me. I feel less feminine, for lack of a better word, like Im not a real woman or something, I cant explain it better, but, I hope you all will understand. Yes, I think the thing is that most people dont know what to say and they also dont understand how it can affect us so deeply. I think you can choose which way you want to give birth, nowadays I think you can anyway, I dont know what it was like in the old days. I know from having heard stories from friends that have children, you can choose to give birth in various forms, either vaginally or by c-section and in a hot water tub and all sorts of things. Thanks for listening and writing back!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 My vvs started when I was 5 months pregnant. So I cant really help you in the realm of getting pregnant, but I did have a vaginal delivery which was not textbook by any means. It required a vacuum and numerous stitches. However, it didnt change my vvs at all and IMO a c-section is surgery. The other reason that I went for a vaginal delivery is before I was diagnosed with vvs, the OB wondered if I had an entraped nerve from being pregnant and thought that the delivery would maybe "fix it". Like I said, it didnt make it better or worse. However, internals were totally out until the labor itself. But you can elect to have a csection if you have a good enough reason. I hope that this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 and and Anyone else I was 19 when this started (nov 95) and I had been married for 11 months. I went on elavil (apr 96) and diflucan weekly. I was able to have sex and live a pretty normal life most of the time. i did have flares brought on by stress or yeast. I finnaly decided in Jun 99 to have a baby. I weened of the elavil and diflucan. I was fine until I had to have galbladder removed in Feb of 2000 when I had a flare. I decided to get the flare under contorl before getting pg. I was waiting for my period to start so I could go back on Birth contorl and start the elavil and diflucan again. Well it never came. I was pg. Spent the entire pg in a flare. After I had my daughter in Jan of 01 Vaginal I was pain free for the five and half years. I had one minor flare in 04. Sex was great I could use soap and pretty much shoved VVS as far in the back of my head as I could shove it. I got pg again in Jan of this year. I ended getting a Bacterial infection followed by a yeast infection (which is what started all this in 95) in my 33rd week of pg. I couldn't use the diflucan so I had to use the creams! And majior flare that is still going on. My daughter was born on 10/2/06 vaginaly. The first few eeks after she was born were awful. IT is better now but still no where near as good as I was. I Just wanted to share my story. I have heard lots of stories of VVs getting better with a Vaginal delivery but also heard of it getting worse. For me it gave me five wonderfull years away from this. it is a hard choice and i remmber being terrifed of what was going to happen after I had my first daughter. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thank you all for sharing your stories with pregnancy. I guess it varies for everyone. I remember an upsetting moment about 4 years ago when I was formally diagnosed with VVS (after having it for many years), by Dr. Ledger in NY. He basically told me that this condition was not very treatable, and that one of my only chances of getting better was to get pregnant and have a natural birth to stretch my muscles. Then he said 'but don't get your hopes up, it doesn't work for everyone, and it depends on whether or not you can get pregnant'. Then he sent me home with antihistimitnes and hopelessness. Really great bedside manner, right - and he's supposed to be a specialist! Since then, the idea of pregnancy has always been in the back of my mind. Of course, since then, I know that there are so many other treatments, including this Capsaicin Cream which has been beyond a llifesaver for me.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi Lindsey, I am using Capsaicin Cream (20 minutes daily), which is a cream made out of hot peppers! Sounds crazy, but it nullifies and helps repair painful nerves and the surrounding vulvar tissue. I have also been going to physical therapy weekly (now bi-weekly), and restricting yeast in my diet. The Cap cream has helped me the most. Within 3 months, my pain has gone from almost excruciating to minimal, and I can have basically painfree sex for the first time in 13 years. Doctors are hesitant to prescribe this cream because it burns on contact - but I figure, what pain could be worse than sex! The burning from the cream really isn't that bad, especially if you're used to pain. If anyone wants more information about this cream, let me know. I can't promote it enough. Seriously, 2 doctors had basically told me I was hopeless because I have had VVS for so long. Shows you how much they know! nicole > >Reply-To: VulvarDisorders >To: VulvarDisorders >Subject: Re: pregnancy with VVS >Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 07:40:33 -0800 (PST) > >My gyn told me he has heard antecdotal evidence that this CAN get better >with childbirth, but I have heard the same thing in reverse (it can get >worse). the V Book by discusses ways to get pregnant >without intercourse (ie-turkey baster method), although I know that if we >all had our druthers it would be through intercourse. , what are you >doing that is making you feel better? > Lindsey > > >--------------------------------- >Sponsored Link > > Mortgage rates as low as 4.625% - $150,000 loan for $579 a month. >Intro-*Terms _________________________________________________________________ Get FREE company branded e-mail accounts and business Web site from Microsoft Office Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi, girls, I can only tell you my own experience for what it's worth. 1. Getting pregnant: I found that sex was actually easier when I was ovulating! So if you're trying to get pregnant, you might start taking note of when that time it for you (check out the book, Garden of Fertility, by Singer), and see if your pain is less for a day or two each cycle. Also, I would recommend manually stimulating your hubbie until he is almost ready to orgasm and then put him in at the last possible second. Another method is the use some sort of applicator (turkey baster, etc.?) to insert the sperm into your vagina. 2. Pain during pregnancy: For ME, the pain never let up during pregnancy. Not fun, but not unbearable. 3. Delivery: I did not get a choice on vaginal vs. c-section the first time around. My dr. said some patients improve after a vaginal delivery. I ended up with 2 c-sections, so it did not effect my V pain either way. Hope this helps!

Another method is the use some sort of applicator (turkey baster, etc.?) to insert the sperm into your vagina. 2. Pain during pregnancy: For ME, the pain never let up during pregnancy. Not fun, but not unbearable. 3. Delivery: I did not get a choice on vaginal vs. c-section the first time around. My dr. said some patients improve after a vaginal delivery. I ended up with 2 c-sections, so it did not effect my V pain either way. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hehe yeah, I read that part about the turkey thingy too! I was really amazed at this! I wonder if its possible? Maybe with injection?? Can we use syringe and get pregnant if we inject the sperms thru vagina? Hahaha, this sounds so SF, sorry, Im REALLY tired! Best regards Re: pregnancy with VVS My gyn told me he has heard antecdotal evidence that this CAN get better with childbirth, but I have heard the same thing in reverse (it can get worse). the V Book by discusses ways to get pregnant without intercourse (ie-turkey baster method), although I know that if we all had our druthers it would be through intercourse. , what are you doing that is making you feel better?
