the pill or not the pill, that is the question

[Guest guest]

hello ladies,

it has been a while since i have posted here, and usually when that

happens, it's because all is well. and that is exactly how i have been.

my stuggles with vulvadynia began in july 2007, and after a long

battle, i finally found what worked for me, and that was dr goldstein

and his estrogen/testosterone gel, physical therapy, and getting out of

a relationship that wasn't healthy. i have been low symptom/symptom

free since august 2008, and there isn't a day that goes by that i don't

appreciate my now pain-free life. wearing jeans, wearing thongs, pain-

free sex - i never thought i would see the day. no wooman out there

should give up hope, as success stories are everywhere.

i was on a lo-dose estrogen birth control pill from july 2002 through

oct 2007, and my gut feeling is that certainly had something to do with

my case. unfortunately, i had a miscarriage in december 2008, which

was probably for the best since it wasn't planned and another accident

where the condom failed which lead me to take plan b. so i am now at

the point where i am considering getting on the pill, and i would love

your feedback, experiences, opinions.

i hope everyone is well, and i wish you all a pain free 2009.

best,

emma
