Re: PREGNANCY: Home Insemination

I have a very dry vagina, and suffer from chronic yeast infections. The
last one I had was so bad that the doctor actually called all the nurses
in to look at it under the microscope. I can't remember the type of
yeast, but it was a very uncommon type that was not covered with
monistat. I have always had problems with my vagina, since my period
first began at 11. I also have dry eyes and a very dry mouth. No one
has ever done anything other than tell me what medications to take to
help. Nothing has really helped much. I did estrogen with my last
clomid cycle to aleviate some of the dryness, but that didn't take it
all away. I also used pre-seed to help with lubrication without killing
the sperm. But even with all that, if I have sex I end up with cuts all
over my vagina. The needless syringe is good because it is small, and
doesn't move in and out.
