Hi everyone,
New to this forum and glad to be here. After dating someone for the first time in ages, I discovered I have vaginal atrophy. Sex was painful. The first time, I thought it was just because the shop had been closed for over 10 years, but then when the second time was also painful with some spotting, I made an appt with my Ob/Gyn. She prescribed some vaginal estrogen.
It's been almost a week now, so who knows if it's helping (I assume it is). I've also stopped sleeping. Coincidence? Instead of the usual 7-8 hours, I'm up after 5 or 6 hours and can't go back to sleep. Anyone else have this? I didn't think vaginal estrogen would cause symptoms other than localised. It's also possible they are not connected at all.
The other thing: I explained what was going on with me to the guy, and said I needed to hold off on penetrative sex for a while. "No problem," he said. But darnit if I have barely heard from him since. Kind of an awkward conversation for fairly early on in the relationship, but still.
