I’m heading back to my gynecologist tomorrow for the exact same reasons... more sores on my pelvic area, itching, stinging... honestly, I'm about to lose it.

I dealt with similar issues myself—plus, I had this constant itching that just wouldn't quit—only to find out it was actually contact dermatitis from the liners (which is surprisingly common, especially for those sensitive to chamomile).
After just two days of ditching the daily liners entirely, all my problems vanished.

I use both liners and regular pads since you can basically find them everywhere... I guess I'll try going without them for a few days and see what happens. Honestly, better to just track my cycle carefully than to deal with this misery. Thanks for the advice...

This is just awful... I’ve already ended up in the ER twice🙂 because of the "odor"—an infection, apparently—not to mention how incredibly uncomfortable it's been. Now Violeta has released some kind of stuff with cinnamon in it, though the specifics don't really matter... as long as it’s colored and scented... poor me...😠. Maybe I should just stop using those ones with the faces of Hitler and Marilyn Monroe altogether...😛

Maybe there’s already a thread about this, but... I’m just over it! 🙂 It keeps happening, regardless of whether I’m ovulating or not. And obviously, I’ve been to the gynecologist—my Pap smear was fine, and I had a little yeast issue that I sorted out, but now I feel like I have to wear pads constantly!! Or change my underwear three times a day. It's gross... I always feel like I smell, and honestly, it's driving me insane... 🙂 My doctor tells me, "just wash properly," basically saying don't spray the shower head directly at everything, and that I should be grateful because so many women deal with dryness... Sometimes during my period, I get this redness and itching, so I just slather on some baby cream and it goes away, but seriously, it's enough to make you lose your mind!!

hahaha, or just standing there at a red light because you're in too much pain to actually drive

Alex Thomas27 said:It’s all about timing. Men generally have a much longer window, whereas women deal with a tighter deadline. For instance, a guy can theoretically father kids well into his 80s, while for a woman, that biological clock really starts ticking down by 50. And that's just talking about doing things naturally, without any medical intervention or IVF.

As people get older, you start seeing more issues with conception and an increased risk of certain health conditions in children—but we're looking at men after 55 and women after 40.

Oh, and there's also such a thing as partial infertility. Not every couple struggling to conceive is stuck that way forever; some actually end up having more kids quite naturally later on.

I mean... it's not a massive crisis right now, but why do I even have to spend my time wondering what if... I guess I'll just hope everything turns out okay...

..just get him to do a sperm analysis so you can actually figure out where to start if there's an issue...plus, your OBGYN can't see what's going on with your fallopian tubes just through an ultrasound...they could be blocked..and you really need an HHS to check that...

thanks

Yeah... it’s been going on for quite a while now. I’ve really been wanting to get pregnant, but it just hasn't happened yet...🙂 Of course, I’ve already seen my OB-GYN, and they told me everything looks perfectly fine on my end. Honestly, though, I can't help but wonder if the issue is that my partner is significantly older than me... he's 52 and I'm 31...🤷 And sorry, I know we're probably circling back to this topic for the millionth time. But should I just try to stop obsessing over it? Like, maybe stop tracking my ovulation cycles, monitoring discharge, all that stuff? 😕

So, what happens when the pills just don't kick in???🙂
