So I got my results, the screening came back clear but the swab she took for infection came back with bacterial vaginosis... apparently it's common if not more common than thrush...

So mixed news @avant-garde . I think I saw yesterday for bacterial vaginosis partners should be treated too.

I'm going OK but up a lot at night and not getting as much bedrest as I should during the day. Maybe I should take things slower but it's a bit frustrating.

@Dimity female partners yes, male partners no.

I would have to be sexually active for that to be required though

[Dimity]

Hope it's readily treatable @avant-garde . It's good your screening was clear.

im glad your screening come back clear @avant-garde sorry about the infection though. i hope it clears up quickly. i have had that many times before due to the hormonal imbalances i have

@Glisten 

Am currently trying to find a new GP after many failed attempts to get my current GP to listen when I say that perimenopause has triggered/increased PMDD symptoms to the point that I can only predict my period by RSD and suicidal thoughts 😮‍💨

[Glisten]

Oh my stars @ficklewind ! I’m sitting here shaking my head thinking that your GP should be ashamed of themselves.

I’m annoyed that in this country, women continue to be treated as ignorant second class citizens.

@ficklewind you said that you are looking for a new GP?

I hope this link helps you. Big HUGS 🫂
