Thanks to Alison and Intern for their prompt responses.
Alison,
I reviewed the other comments online... But honestly, I am afraid of going to my DR about it. Her first remedy for it was a steroid cream and she was pretty honest about it being "fairly new" to her. She had read about the problem before but I dont think that she has run into it often---let me rephrase that---I don't think that she has recognized it before. I trust her, normally, she is a great OBGYN, but it is impossible to have a complete understanding of the human body. ANYWAYS... I am also pretty sure that my vestibulitis was caused mostly by my BC so I am looking for a non hormonal way of dealing with it. They said if it was hormonal my periods would be irregular, but I am 27 days exactly every month...-------------------------------------------------------------Intern, Thanks for letting me know that Dr (name removed) told you the exact same thing that my Dr did. She may not know the best way to treat it, but knowing whats wrong is half the battle.----------------------------------------------------------
This brings me back to my question... What are people using for BC with this problem? I would rather not take it and have sex occasionally then deal with the shame and pain of not being able to have sex. Condoms, however, irritate me... Are there any other options?
