I just wondered if anyone else on here has vaginismus and how you are managing? So far Ive coped with all the scans and had 3 x IUI cycles.
(Fyi: involuntary contraction of muscles around the opening of the vagina)
I think Ive done damn well to get this far if I may say so myself 💁🏻♀️💅🏻😘
I dont have this myself but you sound like you're doing great having managed to cope with all you have so far!! Ive seen a few ladies over my time here with vaginismus but the most recent one is Noah1981 who unfortunately recently had an unsuccessful round of IUI. Best of luck with it all.xx
Thankyou, were are chatting now 😊✨
It’s the same reason I’m doing iui .So well done you cause I couldn’t cope at all with the trans vaginal scans and I was sedated for the first iui I just done and failed .Are you doing more iui cycles now or are you onto ivf xx private message me if you want too xx
Hey Noah, I am also suffering from the same thing. Had scans through sedation and now really worries about IVF. Do you have any idea about NHS funded IVF and sedation?
Sorry I’ve not been on here for a while . I had iui procedures which is less invasive to ivf and we paid private for our treatments. So I’m not sure about nhs funding to be honest .I’m still trying my hardest naturally but due to the vaginismus it’s really hard but I have a very very patient and loving partner so who knows maybe gif will bless me with a miracle after all the heartache . I was so emotionally destroyed from my failed attempts we didn’t have the 3 rd procedure done because my partner couldn’t see me so distraught anymore so we take it step by step every month and hope for the best .Time is ticking away for me I’m 40 next year but good luck hunni sorry it took so long for my reply I just get so emotional when I log on as I get so wrapped up in all the stories xxx
Hey dear, no worries at all. Sure ther will be a miracle. Due to current situation, my tratment is also delaying. But I had first appointment with doctor and Dr assured me not to worry at all even if you have vaginismus and asked me try certain things that me make me more confident. And always remember you are not the only one in all this...there are plenty of us.
I did have this. I have past sexual trauma so I think it was linked to that for me. It was quite difficult to keep myself in the right headspace with that going on! As I’ve gone through the process I had it less and less until now I don’t get it - I think I’ve just had so many internal scans and procedures now I’ve got used to it/disassociated it from past trauma. I hope it subsides for you. Xx
Hi, thanks so much for sharing! Im so sorry to hear about your past but Im so happy that you are strong and have overcome it ☺️
Its funny you should say that, my doctor asked me last week how I had been and I said I felt it had improved!! A positive thing to come from it all so far 🤭 xx
Hiya, I battle with vaginismus too - as if we don’t have enough to contend with in this boat!
I Recently had the HSG test which I found particularly difficult 🙁 being nervous definitely went against me!
Sounds like you are doing a great job coping with it all - it’s reassuring to know others further along in the process can get through it. Wishing you lots of luck xx
Vaginismus and egg transfer
*Sensitive* I am in shock!!
Am I really pregnant?!
Am I being unreasonable?
Am I a horrible person
