Hi Pinkygirl,

I am so sorry for your pregnancy loss. I understand your hesitation to want to try intercourse again after having pain since your first attempt.

I do think you have vaginismus, and dilators would be so helpful.

Since you do not have access to dilators, I think you need to improvise and try to work with what you can find that could mimic shapes of a dilator, start small and work up.

Can your husband insert his finger? If you can have him insert one finger, he can slowly try to massage the vaginal opening to stretch it, then he can try to insert two fingers.

Sometimes lidocaine cream or gel can also help with the pain and that is usually sold over the counter, you can also try that.

You also sound like a great candidate for our Botox procedure her in NY, if you can make the trip. (Here is some more information for patients outside of the New York area).
