Hiya,

Thank you both for your really nice encouragement, I definitely think I’ll give dilators a try soon and start doing my Kegel exercises again. 🙂 I haven’t started treatment yet as the waiting list for the NHS is ridiculously long.

I’m not too worried about the talking therapy though, as I’ve had hypnotherapy before for anxiety so I’m sure it won’t be too hard to become quite calm when I go to the clinic for the first time (because everyone is there for a similar reason).

It’s nice to know I’m not alone and I do often wonder how many people I have met in my life that have Vaginismus or have been effected by it that I don’t know about! I’ve found that just realising that fact has already helped me take a few steps and reach small milestones with my boyfriend (who has to deal with me happy crying afterwards). Thanks to this forum, I know that I can put in the work to overcome Vaginismus and get better!

Thanks very much! 🙂

Thank you Recessivegenequeen, it’s really nice to get advice from someone who understands the position I am in. I am definitely looking forward to the talking therapy as I have been through hypnotherapy for my anxiety before so I can imagine it won’t be too difficult to get used to. As dilators go I definitely want to try them out (I almost ordered some off of amazon not too long ago) as they seem to help out for lots of other women.

When I visited the doctor to be referred she told me to stop doing my Kegel exercises as they tighten the muscles? I thought that they allow you to have more control over the muscles and I can manage 2 fingers now so they must have been doing something. 🙂
