Re: Life after VV Surgery

[Guest guest]

i very rarely get cycles, my last one was 1 1/2 years ago and I am

only 36. I actually just got one yesterday due to being on meds for 2

months to bring a period on. When it was time for me to try getting

pregnant 7 years ago, I had to do infertility as well as 5 years ago

for my 2nd. The VV got worse with my 2nd due to my forcep delivery

and tearing everywhere. I never had vv until after having my 1st child

and it took 5 years to be diagnosed. I had surgery last year and it

was a total success. I do not have areas of pain anymore but can get

slightly tender at times, espcially if my partner is not careful with

his hand or fingers, otherwise I am thrilled with the results.
