Hi Ladies.

A question for you all. Will LJcut in the name of courtesy...
It has been 31 days since the last day of my last period. (this is not really unusual for me)
(but this part is unusual --->)For the past, oh, 4 days or so, my vagina has been extremely tight, dry, irritated, etc. I almost want to just lube up so I'm not so dry. Sex is painful, too. I mean, it feels like my vagina is as dry as cotton, and I feel a pressure, too.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a serious problem. I've never felt *quite* like this before, when I've been PMSing. I felt around to see if there was a renegade tampon or condom or something causing discomfort, but no dice. The was something kind of hanging out and down for a little while, but part of it definitely had nerve endings, and it later went back up. I'm very very confused. Any ideas?

Just looked at your journal and my first question flew right out the window but I will pose it, jic, because I have known for girls my age (25) to have gone through it.
Is there any chance you might be going through menopaus? I noticed that you stopped taking the pill but that was quite a while ago, (almost a year?) so I don't think that is it.
I would definately go to a doctor because losing lube is not happy at all. Normally you get more moisture when there is an imbalance to flush it out.
You have me really perplexed!
I have heard some girls get really dry right before ovulation and seeing that sometimes you have been fourty days, it might be that?
Those are my two closest aprox guesses.

I'm not going through menopause. I think I heard of one woman who went through menopause at like, 22, and that was the youngest I'd ever heard of it happening. I'm 20. If I'm going through menopause before my own mother... Lord help me...

Maybe I am ovulating...? I don't know. I did stop taking the pill almost a year ago, and will be starting it again as soon as my period comes.

Thanks for your guesses, though. I really don't know what to think!!

While it's uncommon, it's happened to more than one woman that's in her 20's/30's.

How can you tell her what it isn't, if you yourself aren't even sure what it is? If you knew, you wouldn't be here asking us what is wrong.

If I were you, I would go to the doctor.

How about this, bud, It's highly unlikely considering my age and family history. Also, I said that I had only heard of one woman, not "Theres only one woman in the history of women to have menopause that early"
And am I defensive? Yes. Because its my body, so don't be rude next time you post.

The only person being a bitch here is you, so calm the fuck down. Clearly, you don't know what's going on with your body, otherwise you would know what's wrong right now, wouldn't you? There isn't anything wrong with that.

I didn't pose the question rudely - or didn't mean to, anyway. You just chose to take it that way.

I think you just need to go to doctor, if you're really that worried.

Whoa! *looks to the side and then the other* where did the hostility come from you two? Sheesh!
She was not being rude in her responce that it isn't menopaus but rock isn't being rude saying that it can happen.
Both of your responces to each other responce is rude though.

From:

I didn't think she was rude in her initial response at all. I was just pointing out a mere fact that was relevent to the post - at least somewhat.

She said she knew her body and "knew that wasn't the problem", but if she knew what the problem was, she wouldn't be here. I certainly don't think that is a bad thing. There are a lot of things that happen to my body that I don't completely understand, and I too, ask questions.

There was absolutely no reason for her to be so hostile and defensive, because I was not being nasty to her in the first place. But I'm not one to "bite the bullet" when someone starts getting nasty with me. If someone wants to get nasty with me, then they should expect some heat in return.

"And am I defensive? Yes. Because its my body"

I didn't call you names, I didn't use foul language, I just told you to not be rude to me.

I wasn't being rude to you at all. But if you're going to be hostile, then expect hostility in return. There were different ways that you could have handled that, and you chose to be hostile. I didn't call you names, either. I didn't call you a bitch, I said you were being one. And you were.

From:

Calling someone a bitch and saying that they're being one is the same thing.

From:

rockahulababy.livejournal.com

That's your opinion. I didn't call her a bitch, I said she was acting like one. And if I concede that I straight out called her a bitch, then that's what she is. I didn't say anything to deserve that kind of response, and I'm not about to sit back and just let her talk to me like that - at least not without an apology.

How old is this subject anyway? I moved on a long time ago, until I saw that you replied in my inbox.

she = you

This is so damn old I forgot you were the one that was nasty.

Get over it. I'm glad you found out was wrong with your body.

did you change laundry detergents or something? anything that might be creating irritation? change in diet? seems quite odd. definitely book an appointment with your doctor to find out what the fork is goin' on down there!

good luck!

I've been eating a lot of brussel sprouts lately, but I somehow don't think that would be negative... I dunno. I only use one kind of detergent because of my allergies...
I will see a doctor... I spoke with a nurse, and she told me to wait til after my period is come and gone thi cycle.

Thanks!

You will have to let us know what the problem is when you find out.

I would also like to say that some of your choice of words made me chortle as I was reading your post. Not due to the content, but due to the mental images, and I would like to thank you for making my day. :)
