'sylc' site?  You may get free samples ;-)

I find KY Jelly useful.

Yes site. Why can I get it from anywhere else? X

Tubes of Yes VM in stock at Stressnomore, just this minute checked.

Poor you starting a new job 2 weeks ago and this to put up with.  For over a year now I use ovestin internally alternate nights and the other nights Boots own brand vaginal moisturising gel.  It's on the shelf and comes with an applicator like ovestin.  I also use a bit of ovestin externally when needed.  It's finding what is right for you.  Really hope things improve as it's a miserable time till you get sorted.

Hello Chihuahuachick

My friend gets her YesVM on prescription but I buy mine online.  Boots also sell Replens and Sylk vaginal moisturisers  so you may want to try one of those until YesVM becomes available.

Take care.

Just ordered from stressnomore. Thanks for letting me know where to get it.

Miserable today. At work, burning.

Put some canesten hc on as it's all I have.

Hopefully it works x

Vaseline would be far better than 'caneston' which isn't for the outer area.  When I used it for a suspected thrush problem, I spent the next few hours in a cool bath as it burnt so badly.

Canesten HC is a cream, CLKD. It is for external use. As well as the antifungal ingredient it also contains a smidge of hydrocortisone which might help the burning in the short term 🙂.

I would stay well clear of it, even so

My doctor recommended zinc and castor oil cream for babies for your external bits. A bit messy but quite soothing.

Can anyone tell me about sex with this burning problem?

An update of where I'm at: ovestin applicator before bed, applying canesten throughout the day and Ive got Yes VM due to be delivered.

But what about sex. How long do I wait, do I wait until I feel no burning or could I have sex with lubricant, not that I feel like having sex with the burning!

Do I always use a lubricant when I have sex even when the burning has gone? What lubricant do I use.

Any advice would be really appreciated. Don't know what I would have done without this forum. I'm so grateful x

[suzysunday]

Have sex when you feel ready, and when it feels comfortable.  No harm in using lubricant always with sex, it's what you feel confident with.  I like sylk lubricant.  I couldn't face sex for ages when atrophy struck, it was just too stressful, but now things are ok and I enjoy making love again.

[Chihuahuachick]

Thanks everyone x

Well. The cream on regularly, the canesten is helping.

Just been to the loo and thrush type discharge.

Cannot get my head around this, it changes day to day and hour to hour sometimes x

[suzysunday]

Really hope you feel better soon. These things just take your life over.  X

[Chihuahuachick]

Don't they just. Feel fine now.

Unbelievable though. The way that just started earlier.

So looking forward to getting this moisturiser and using that probably 4 times a day. Anything to get this sorted out.

Again, don't know where I would be without the forum and its members.

Just being able to turn to the forum when I am at work is such a comfort.

Hopefully the moisturiser will be here tomorrow. I don't like tonkeep on using the canesten.

[Chihuahuachick]

Well I think I'm getting this burning under control!!!!

I say think, because everytime I do think I am getting it under control, something changes.

I have used the ovestin religiously, and I have moisturised too.

Still waiting for the Yes moisturiser to be delivered so until then it's the canesten hc.

Thanks again for all of yiur help x
