I had a medical abortion end of March. I was kept pretty busy with university and don’t think I had the time to fully process what I had gone through at that time.
Fast forward to now I’m finished school and not working so I have a lot of alone time. My boyfriend has been as supportive as he can be but he doesn’t fully comprehend how I feel. The guilt , regret, sadness, and anxieties come and go in severe wave’s especially around my period and I understand my emotions are something I have to work on and I am considering post abortion counseling.
I waited the two week period before having sex again and felt ‘fine’ at the time but I put this down to not really realizing what I had experienced. At the moment, over the past few weeks, while I am still interested in sex with my partner and sometimes initiate it, I have been suffering with vaginal dryness and some slight pain during sex. This is giving me more anxiety and I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with vaginal dryness/libido changes. I’ve read online that sexual dysfunctions are considered ‘future risks’ but I was wondering if this is temporary or permanent wnd is there anything I can be doing? I know my anxiety is probably making the issue worse but I’d just appreciate anyone giving me more insight into their experiences. Thanks in advance!
