Genuinely wondering. It seems difficult in Alberta now

Just honestly curious if a few people who went to ualberta and still view this sub have gotten theirs and what that was like?

I was diagnosed 3 days ago, and have my physio appointment in a month.

Today, i bought tampons for the first time. I was able to insert it in, and the tampon was like just straight in the air, like sticking in my hole. I just lay in bed, and inserted it after I peed. The tip only went in unfortunately. I felt a slight sting at my entrance, and then slowly slowly pushed the tampon in. I did this laying on my back spread eagle. I felt a bit relaxed but I knew I had to go slow slow. I ended up freaking out that "oh no theres a tampon in there" then anxiety took over and i felt my body shake/vibrate from anxiety. I stopped.

When i looked in the mirror, it seems my opening got bigger? and now, theres white stuff at the entrance of my vagina hole. Im not itchy or in pain. But i know my vagina hole and labia feels somewhat sensitive touch, althoght I never touch there.

The tampon was dry though, and i didnt use lube, do i use lube? pls give me advice. I tried to insert it standing but couldnt.

So far, im taking things slow and choosing to be positive. I just pay attention to my body. one thing that helped me get the tip in was just reassuring myself like a baby that this is normal, nothing bad will happen if anything enters my vagina, this tampon is like a soft plush cushion etc etc. I also would breathe out and ensure my vagina is like relaxed and at that point push the tampon in slowly slowly.

I have also been diagnosed with vaginismus, and in the picture below, I dont know what that fleshy ball thing is. The physician said everything is in tact but im still worried.

Please help me, i got diagnosed today and simply want to look in the mirror to see if i can find the hole but i cant.

I was diagnosed today by a physician. She gave me directions to a pelvic physiotherapist and the appt is like in a month. Do i buy myself a dialator? I used a mirror to try to see my vagina hole/entrance and cant see it. All i see is a mound of flesh. Physican confirmed everything loosk okay. Do I see a gynecologist?

In 2024, I met a woman on bumble who became my partner for a few months. I had never had penetrative sex before. When we were together for the 5 months we did a lot of dry humping, oral sex which didnt lead to me haveing orgasms. I never had an orgasm with her too. The first time she tried to finger me, she placed a finger in my vagina and couldnt get past. She frowned and poked her fingers around, and kept frowning like why is it not going in. I told her she could stop. We never used a strap or fingers, just lots of dry humping where i would come super fast. I never felt like i was feeling pleasure to how much i wanted, just getting by with what i could do and what she gave me. I also remeber her saying shes used to being with people who have experience and because I didnt have any, she was used to that and she didnt like that she had to explain everything to me.

I felt so bad. Even worse seeing the straps and dildos she used on the girl she dated before me, how large they were knowing i could never get to that point. I got to hear of how she would even get emotional in bed with her ex because of how good the sex was, with me it was boring and I knew it.

We ended up breaking up. I mustered the courage today to see a physician, who did an assesment on me. she used this cotton bud looking tool, and when she went in, i didnt feel pain at all, jsut discomfort. I am more so uncomfortable with the thought of anything going inside me. It feels weird. It feels sensitive but not painful. Its like a mental block for me. Even touching my cervix feels weird. I dont even know why its not like pleasurable.

I am an attractive woman, but i feel so less confident and ugly inside. I found it difficult to not say horirble things about myself on the way home. I just feel sad, and dont know where to start from now. I have access to a pelvic physio, but im so confused on what to do, and next steps.

I have visted Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. And I am in Lagos right now with my fiance, and I cannot believe how extremely BAD these women are. Its absolutely insane. From natural beauty, to fashion, classy outfits the makeup, the hair. These women take beauty to another level, im learning so much lool. Every woman here owns a small business, especially fashion related and I cannot even fathom how much i've spent.

I love how these woman care for themselves generally and just spoil themselves. Theres definitely thingshere I would say ive noticed that I dont like and would categorize a con as a toursist, but generally I CAN say that these women are absolutely top tier and they fucking know it.

so i calculated how much ive paid through out my degree from fall 2022 to winter 2026, and it is more than $120,000. I also received a reduction of $9,000. so this actually made it equal to the 120,000 which is what i feel is the total of my tuition.

i have 3 more classes in fall 2026, after that i'll be done. Will i pay the usually amount for fall 2026? i know i will have to pay something in fall, but would that be my usually 16,000?

Did anyone have headaches that went away after they finally got their prescription and did an eye exam? Even if your prescription wasnt really high.

Just curious.

Still relatively new here and for two weeks i have headache, pressure behind my eyes which gets worse when i lay down. The headaches have reduced but still there. Is it the weather? i actually thought because its getting warm theres no sinus headaches or pressure. I ahve no sneezing or coughing or congested nose..

I have had skin related issues to eczema since i was a child and also reproductive related (FGM as a child). I don't usually like to go to the derm or gynaecologist due to previous SA from my long term. I really would like to see a derm and gynaecologist, mostly as i have issues related to use of steroid creams as a teenager, and just for my general reproductive health check. I also would like to do some blood work as well as i do this every summer. Im just too scared. I moved here two yrs ago, and i know i can go to the health center and ask for referral, but i dont want male derm or gynaecologist. can i ask for gender specific? how does the referral system work? i also dont know if they would ask to do assesment for my body, could i ask for the physician at the healthcenter to be female.

pls be kind, i am unsure what to do as im new here. thankyou.

I am a black woman, and some of my issues are related to:

- body acne

- black heads

- strawberry legs

- uneven skintone (hyperpigmentation)

- dark spots from mosquito bites

I dont have really nice skin, which causes me lots of insecurity, especially because i do sports. I like anything that is really research based, not only nice products that smell good, ive also heard great things about lotions with urea, and love science based skincare products. Please help me with any good product recommendations, Im canada based.

Thankyou

I made a freind whos straight and shes christian. As we got to know each other, she explained that as a joke, that sometimes people assume she is a stud and girls flirt with her. I did tell her its okay if she dresses masc, and it doesnt mean shes gay, and her style is cool. I dont know if this made her uncomrfortable. Her brother also has asked if she was gay, and he told her its okay to come out. All in all, we have been very good freinds and have spent time with each other. She knows im bi as well, and we talk about life and lots of things, and im so glad ive made a freind.

For the past few weeks out of no where, she became really distant from me. She used to call me all the time and we would stay up and chat. She would make plans with me, invite me over, offer to do things for me, i was feeling so thankful that most of my freinds including her match my energy too, as my freinds are like community, who I can rely on the way people rely on me. But all these stopped. If she comes over, she wants to leave immediately. She came to my new place to see me, and she bought me my favourite ice cream and i was overjoyed and hugged her as she got me my favourite ice creams. she wasnt really feeling the hug, while i was hugging her she wanted to leave the hug which is the first time she did that as she initiates hugs with me mostly. She went straight into "what did you want us to unpack in the house" as she moved away from the hug. She has been acting super odd, idk if its because maybe she is uncomfortable that im bi? one time we had a play fight over a bean bag, and she said how i touched her brought some feelings, i thought she felt uncomfortable but she said she wasnt and it just made her feel a certain way.

I moved houses and she didnt call to check up on me, or see how my move was going. She seems distant and annoyed, im worried maybe she is not into the freindship anymore due to my gayness. she goes places and spends time with other freinds though. Once we were working together, and she brought up a random memory of how she walked into an office for a service, and two girls saw her and were giggling and now she thinks of it it seems they might have had crush on her. I hoped after that she wouldnt think i had a crush on her as some straight women think that.

Lately, she has been distancing herself from me, when we go out she is thinking of leaving early, she is not inititating conversation with me anymore, and the freindship is not same as before. She cannot spend time with me for long periods anymore? Im unsure if to stop speaking to her or act same way, and i feel too much. Ive tried asking if shes okay, she says theres absolutely nothing wrong and avoids the conversation, if i say if shes mad at me. but it still feel sth has chnaged.

I called her over the weekend, which she didnt repsond to. I did invite her to an event which she came for, but had to leave early. She never bothered calling me back, or texting to say she saw my call. I gave her some space, and we didnt call the entire week. But now, since we have lunch on saturday she texted me to confirm our plans..everything feels weird now, no calls or catching up, nothing. Im not interested in her romantically, im just concerned that maybe she might feel like im trying to get with her. I feel almost like awkward.

I made a post a few days ago about my freind who has been acting strange.

we would call each other a time, i would visit her hangout and she would also offer to do things for me. As we got closer, she started telling me about how her brother and people randomly always think she's a stud or like shes gay. She did bring up wanting to wear boxers, or just how she is so protective of women and her female freinds because shes an older sister, or her walking on the right side of the road when she is with a woman. I just assured her likeif youre gay you will know it, those things dont mean youre gay. She did have a boyfreind a few years ago who she said she really really liked and he would also say she looked like a stud as well, especially because she liked to pay for some of their dates.

I usually would stay quiet when she told these stories because the last thing i want to do is making a straight woman feel like im trying to get with her or convince her she's gay. She has brought up a story of how she suddenly remembered walking into an office and two girls looking at her and giggling, and how now she thinks about it the girls must have thought she was gay and were flirting with her. In our freindship, she has been very nice and accomodating, i slept over at her place, she would cook me food, even let me wash my hair at her place which she wanted me to do because i had dirty roomates. She offered to cook for me once when i was busy with exams and would stay on the phone for hours with me and we would just chat. when i moved houses, i needed a place to stay overnight and she turned down me staying at hers.

i feel guilty, because i feel like what if she thought i was trying to get with her?

Now

She suddenly has become cold. she doesnt call me anymore, if i call her she doesnt return calls, she doesnt want to spend time with me and is always in a hurry to leave when we hang out. She doesnt want to hug which is alright. When she came over to help me unpack stuff, i noticed she was sitting at the edge of the bed and i told her to try to get comfortable if she wanted to and rest her back, she then said " dont you know there are things you do that make people uncomfortable" i was so confused at first and did apologise after, although i didnt know what i did wrong. We have brunch on the weekend, and Im hoping to see how things play out. Right now, i dont call her or text her as she doesnt call me or text me too, just to give her space and understand what type of freindship she prefers, maybe just those freindships were we dont talk for weeks?

I feel ive lost my freind, specifically my few black freind in this white city. just wanted to share.
