So, it turns out I've got an Escherichia coli infection.

It says the exact same thing in my medical report, though I’m a bit stuck on the wording—does the part about "not needing antibiotics" refer specifically to the colpitis, or is it talking about the Escherichia coli?

Also, does anyone actually know what parakeratosis is?

Before my little guy finally had his ultrasound, I used to head over to the local vineyard whenever it was necessary—I remember thinking everything was just perfectly fine back then. Ljičnik was such a clean, orderly place, too; honestly, if I could have moved right next door to him, I probably would have!

A close friend of mine went to him for her entire pregnancy, and we both had nothing but wonderful experiences with his care. In fact, I was just seeing him this morning myself! 😁

Does he actually have an ultrasound machine available?

As for a dentist—mine is absolutely fantastic, though she’s located right by Central Park. Actually, I was just there seeing her yesterday! 😁

Do you happen to know any gynecologists who fit that description? 😁 Location doesn't really matter—anywhere in the Washington, D.C. area works for me.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Basically, I got a "letter" from Medicare the other day saying my dentist didn't renew his contract with them—so now I have to find someone else. Honestly, I have no clue who or where, since I've been seeing the same guy since I was a little kid! 🤷
I live around New Jersey City, but location isn't a huge deal for me—as long as they're good and actually accepting new patients 😉

I mentioned the Community Health Center on Broadway above, urbantinker8. Their Tooth Fairy is absolutely wonderful—plus, there’s never a crowd, at least not during the times I've gone 🙂

Donna Bailey3 said:I have an amazing OBGYN in my Suburban Neighborhood, Dr. Kos, but she is always swamped. It's worth calling, though, because apparently it's one of those seasons where doctors are rotating... (every attempt feels like a coin toss)

Does she have an ultrasound machine on-site?
I'm looking for an OBGYN through Medicare, but ideally one that has an ultrasound available so I don't end up having to get a referral and head all the way to the hospital again.

My apologies to the moderator for posting several times in a row—I accidentally started reading the thread in reverse order, unfortunately!

Chloe Kern78 said:I actually signed up a few days ago myself. The woman there was incredibly kind--really lovely, actually.🙂

Hmm. So, about ten days ago I called the clinic and they told me the OB-GYN was out on maternity leave. Now I’m starting to wonder if someone just gave me the runaround over the phone... you know how it goes. Ladies, please let me know if she's actually back in the office!

I used to go to Dr. Miller over on Madison Avenue, but now the wait list is somehow five months long!😲

About six months ago, I headed over to Madison Avenue—I can’t quite recall the doctor's name right now—but I didn't have to wait even a month to start my therapy.

Speaking of private specialists, I haven't really had the best luck with them personally.

As for me, I'm currently hunting for a solid gynecologist covered by Medicare, honestly doesn't matter which part of the city she's in.🙂

I live on the west side of town, but I’m making the trek out to Central Park today—heading over to Broadway to see Dr. Smith - Jones. Honestly, she is just wonderful. If only I could find a gynecologist who is half as good as she is!

It isn’t exactly a reaction to sperm, though it feels pretty similar in nature 😬

So, here’s the thing—after performing oral, if I don’t wash up immediately, I start getting this stinging sensation down there. Does anyone else deal with a weird reaction to their partner's saliva? 😕

The very first time it happened, I managed to sort it out the next day by doing a soothing soak in chamomile tea, and everything went back to normal after that. Now, though, I make it a point to wash up right after every single time—which, honestly, feels a bit awkward and extra 😢
I just can't quite wrap my head around why this happens.
