UPDATE 1/26/21 - Lab came back with both BV and yeast infection 🥲

On Thursday, I thought my panties were drying me out down there, so I swapped and carried on. My bf and I had sex that day and I thought I was dry because of my panty choice earlier in the day. Nothing a little extra spit can’t handle.

Friday, my vaginal discomfort multipled 10-fold. I called out of work and called the triage nurse at my doctor’s office. The discomfort felt as though I were dry, but after self-inspection, I had hydration down there and I had the typical white discharge during pregnancy. Nothing smells weird/fishy. I described it as someone taking a little balloon and sticking it at the vaginal entrance. I was uncomfortable all day long. I tried ice, heat. Little alleviated my discomfort. Nurse said she could schedule me first thing Monday due to lack of availability that day.

Saturday, I felt better. No pressure at the vaginal entrance. I went about the whole day thinking I’m fine. Then, at night, it got worse all over again. The discomfort was towards the front side of the inner lips and clit. I showered, rinsed down there with water, and slept without wearing anything.

Today, I feel moderately fine. It feels like I’m dry, but there’s definitely lubrication. Some stinging here and there, nothing extreme, just nuisance. My bf and I get in the mood, and I’ve never felt so much pain for insertion. We stopped right away and I almost cried and felt inadequate.

I don’t see typical signs of infection. I am producing extra discharge, but nothing smells off and the coloration is just white. Could it be regular swelling from the weight of the pregnancy? Or is there something going on since it’s actually giving me pain?
