My now ex said he was going to take the rise out of me during the change as much as he could. He is now in the past by over a decade and he missed his chance by over a decade. Those types are totally ignorant and we are not here for their personal amusement. No one should tolerate such a person. I totally agree with you.

So! I cannot take estrogen creams..have been told NO antioxidant supplements as the chemo process uses the oxident process to kill the cancer cells..so my question is..sorry for the ignorance..is E not a viable solution for me..i need something to help build back moisture so I di not bruise so readily.my advice from what this journey has taught me...check your Tatas monthly!!! Please!! And Therese GET OUT! Of that relationship. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 25!!! Years thinking it was the best I could do!! There is life after you leave..the first step is the hardest..but love yourself enough to go. I am sure that marriage created my cancer!!

I've been to my doctor 2 times to be tested for infection, but it came back negative. I haven't had intercourse in almost 2 weeks and one minute I'm fine and the next minute I'll experience a pain, vaginally, that last for some time. It seems to get better when I drink a lot of water. What can I do to make this stop? It is really related to menopause? I recently have had major issues, hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss and others but I wasn’t aware of the vaginal issue.

It supports the mucous membrane of the vaginal. It really lubricates the vaginal walls. I take 2 to 3 softgels daily. I space them out 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and one in the evening. I also take fish oil and ultimate Flora Vaginal Support, it supports vaginal and urinary health. I use Super Critical Omega 7. It supports the mucous membrane of the vaginal.

Any man who gets turned on by his partner's pain or bleeding is a sadist, IMO, and should be avoided like the plague. Sex is supposed to be pleasurable for both parties, not something that women endure while their husbands enjoy themselves. It's one thing having sex and feeling a bit of discomfort due to age or whatever, it's something else to have a husband who doesn't care or - even worse - enjoys causing his wife pain. For goodness sake, tell him you'll have sex when you find a way to do so without pain or bleeding AND only if you feel like it. If he's not happy, then tell him to take a hike. You only get one life and you don't need to spend it pandering to the wishes of an insensitive oaf. (I wish I had your husband here with me for half an hour - not for sex, you understand, but for a few plain home truths.) My comment is for Teresa – why on earth would you even think of having sex with a man who ‘doesn’t care if I hurt or bleed or have any problems in fact the discomfort turns him on more’?

He also hates lubricants and I can attest that they give less friction and he takes even longer causing even more pain. I am 50 on birth control and my doctor wont give me estrogen cream as I am on the pill and don't need.
