> the depo suggestion is on the right track, i think, for the suicidal PMS issue. the GYN drs can prescribe you a pill that will guarantee a bleed for abt 4-5 days every 28 days. it will help, i'm positive. and i'm on the same med-profile as you (wellbutrin/happy pill - you: prozac; xanax as needed for anxiety - you: klonopin, same drug family; neurontin for both of us). plus i take a pill for the bleed. it's a nice light flow (i was initially prescribed it because i was bleeding too much each period). mine's called mircette.hey wendy,
is the pill you take similar to Depo? i just don't like what i read about Depo, though a doc once prescribe methyprogesterone for me if i was 10 or more days late...(i've just got to get *insurance*)
> anywhoo, don't worry your little texan self about girl questions: whomever doesn't want to read can just close the window and move on...!
hell yeah, good, my girlfirends know about as much as i do (one didn't even know that these infections are caused by sex) and my mom, when i told her i thought i had a bladder infection, seemed convinced that i'd spent some time sitting on a "cold curb" somewhere. The "cold curb" has been the cause of all gyn troubles she's spoken of since my youth. contrary to her wisdom, cold sidewalks haven't done shit to me...but sex can really do it at times!> the cervix question: yes, a dr told me that and i've read it. the more he knocks on the cervix, the more your tendency to UTIs will go up. also, just the more you 'do it,' the more likely you are to get a UTI. people at the emergency room have seen it millions of times: they call it honeymooners' bladder infection. another thing: you would have to drink gallons of cranberry juice every day to stop the infections from coming on. buy the cran/urinary tract herbal remedies at the local health-food store, ask the people who work there which one they recommend, each pill gives you a ton more than the juice.
this makes lots of sense to me. the cervix-hitting feels, at times, terribly wrong. i'll score some cran-pills at the HFS and edu'mecate the boy. :) yikes
> i do think some partners have a tendency to give you more infections. he ALSO has to pee before sex. you wash after. he washes after if you want to do it again. (are we getting intimate here yet??? sheesh...) the suggestion abt rubbers is ok, although some people are allergic to or sensitive to the latex. it can irritate the hell out of already-irritated skin/genitalia. rubber gloves, to me, are a total turn-off, but to each her own...this has been unprotected sex (yes, LECTURE ME!), gotta score some condoms along with the cran-pills...i'm not down with gloves 'cos they would be like, professional or remind my of the gyn or something. i have to get it in my head that if we're having sex, then i should feel comfortable discussing this with him YES YES YES i RESOLVE to discuss it with the boy
> lots of the L-word,
lube? luck? lots of cran? ahhhh...*love*?
aw yiyeah!
