I just happened to stumble upon this blog at...2am, and it literally almost brought me to tears. I'm a 19 year old female that found out she had vaginal agenesis about 2.5 years ago. I just wasn't starting my period, but I saw it as a complete blessing considering I was a swimmer so, why fret? I knew something was wrong with me after I tried to have sex for the first time at 16...it just wouldn't go in...and it was incredibly excruciating. So since then, I knew I wasn't normal but I didn't want to accept it. Having this condition prior to my surgery (McIndoe) I had a romantic life....trust me. To all women out there I'd just like to say..there is a lot more to sex then actual vaginal intercourse. Prior to my surgery (I'm past my year this past June) I learned A LOT about what I like, and how everything works prior to sex. After the experience I had with the surgery, the learning experience that it was, I wouldn't change anything about it. Annoymous 15 year old, I know you feel incredibly alone right now, and that no one understands you, and you're completley right...no one understands you. They have NO idea what you are going through, but at the same time...they are there to listen and help. And though i didn't seek counseling because I am incredibly way too proud to pay to talk to someone that is "trying" to relate to me, it helps to talk, especially to your mom, or close girl friends. You may be different, but you're not dead. Just remember that. Life goes on, and trust me, if a man is going to love you, he'll love ALL of you.
