Thanks Rbray.

Well, had my appointment, and turns out, wouldn't have mattered how much I tried the dilators or anything else, it wouldn't work. NOt yet anyway.

Firstly, I have an infection (that I was seeing a dermatologist about for over a year), so he's given me meds for that to clear up. I go back to see him again on the 22nd Nov.
If that is cleared up, he will then book me in to have an operation to remove my Bartholins' Glands and my hymen scarring. (Will also ask for a pap while I am under). This is an overnight stay at hospital and I will require 10 days recovering.

After this, he will then perform some lasering on an overly red area down there.

Then once all this is done, most of my pain should be gone apparently and then I will be able to go back and start on dilators again.

Can't wait.
