I haven't tried any exercises. Am just using the cream. Will use it for 2-3 weeks and then DTD.

At first even when I tried to insert the applicator thingo it hurt and I thought I couldn't do it! But then I remembered that the GP had managed a finger or two (sorry if TMI). I just had to breath through it and it was totally fine. But I can tell there is some sore tissue just at the entrance. I just need to get past that!
