Discharge

So I’ve been experiencing green discharge with no smell. Went to my gp and had a chlamydia swab done which was negative and they also gave me a thrush pessary to use which has had no result. Has anyone got any recommendations on things to try/ has anyone else experienced this? I plan to phone my gp again Monday but hope to try something before then in case the issue resolves over the weekend. Should I try another thrush treatment or possible a bv one?

In my experience green vaginal discharge is either a bacterial infection, or an STI.
If your GP only did a chlamydia swab I would be asking for a full STI blood and urine check. Also a different swab is used to check for bacterial infections I'm not sure what country you're in or what they use there but usually a chlamydia swab will only pick up chlamydia and doesn't pick up any bacterial infections so I'd recommend that as well :)
Green discharge doesn't usually mean thrush, at all, in my experience.
BV discharge tends to be white/grey. I wouldnt try a treatment for that until you have got another swab because it could interfere with the results
Green usually means you need treatment with antibiotics (bacterial, or STI)

I got a full sti screening done in April and I haven’t had any intercourse since hence why we’re sure it’s not that as I’ve been in so much pain with this pregnancy. I stay in the UK so not sure how different things work here but with the checks they’ve done they’ve said there is no indication of infection hence why I’m stuck on what’s going on

Hmm green discharge WITHOUT any kind of bacterial infection?? I've never heard of that being a thing...
So if your STI screen came back all clear, I would definitely be thinking bacterial infection, other than that... pelvic inflammatory disease?... I've got nothing else for green discharge!

Unless you had intercourse in March/April and then got an sti check before the sti established in the body. Which can also happen 🤔

I’ll definitely be phoning them back Monday morning to try see a doctor again because physically I feel fine there’s been no other symptoms other than the discharge which has no smell there’s no itching or discomfort. The discharge isn’t everyday it’s random just sometimes I go to the bathroom and it’s there so really confused on what’s happening. I have been experiencing pelvic pain which my midwife said was normal so they gave me strong painkillers but I wonder if there’s something deeper going on so I’ll definitely push to get some tests done

Best of luck I really hope they find the answer
Have a look into Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and see if you feel like it fits. If STI and bacterial infection have been ruled out. It is a condition that gets missed a lot.

I’ve had something like this throughout my whole pregnancy turned out it’s strep B but they are saying that strep B has no symptoms which doesn’t make sense, only during labour will they give antibiotics for the infection something about it passing to baby if not given and if I have a vaginal delivery, I also had a chlamydia test at the gp which came back clear they wanted me to have a full screening done in a walk in centre but I haven’t had time to arrange that yet so in a week or two I’ll have a full screening done as well

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
