I am so, so sad right now. I have more or less been in remission for around a year, but it is back.
A couple weeks ago, I starting having consistent pain again. And now, in this last week, while in less pain, I haven't been able to reach a climax (it has been half-orgasms or just not being able to reach that release), and I feel less sensitive down there. I believe this is due to vaginal atrophy, and I am really scared.
I had been on birth control after stopping briefly to try out the Mirena at my doctor's suggestion (which didn't work for me), and now I am throwing it away. I believe the hormone imbalance from the BC is causing all of these issues. And it is just really frustrating because I had been doing so great, and nothing had really changed in my routine--it just all the sudden came back and is causing all of these additional problems. And I am upset that I need to stop the BC because it keeps my skin clear and my cramps at bay. But I can't risk losing sexual function...
I'm REALLY scared about sexual function not returning--it has only been a week, but it has been a really terrifying concept. Has anyone else dealt with this in their journey? If so, would love some advice on if and how you were able to remedy. I see my specialist next month, so hoping she will prescribe something to help.
