Femilift... 38 and in need of vag tightening

Week 3 of second treatment

Honestly I feel so disappointed and totally alone. This time around has been a complete flop (pardon the pun), there's no difference at all and I'm constantly doing my pelvic floor (I know I'm doing them correctly because I use the Elvie.
Again as I said before I've never had a problem with leakage or incontinence. No bulge or anything hanging out so it's hard to judge. Just looseness and not able to grip my finger that well. I can feel the walls, and my walls can feel my finger but I can't seem to grip well at all.
My MD is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. On my second visit he didn't even check internally to feel if there was any improvement, he never asked how I was or if I'd seen improvements or had any concerns. Honestly if I had not already paid I wouldn't go back.
I feel embarrassed and honestly don't know what to do, it consumes my every moment of every day. I have no one to talk to about it because I feel so ashamed. I don't have a partner and not expecting to get one any time soon.
I wasn't expecting miracles but I was hoping for small changes.
When you see a gynaecologist for a problem that you're struggling with and hand over £4500 of your cash you kind of expect a little support and encouragement.

You should absolutely be able to expect that from your doctor! Is there another doctor in the practice you could switch to? I've found that some doctors are reluctant to discuss disappointment that you're feeling with a procedure because they're don't want to get into a discussion where you're going to want your money back (which they wouldn't do anyway). Maybe if you made it clear you're just looking for information so you can set realistic expectations for yourself, he might be more helpful. And stop feeling embarrassed! Just about everyone past a certain age deals with related issues, and I'm sure a lot of female weightlifters as well.

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. I've decided to go under the knife, I can't face going back for my last treatment, he made me feel so embarrassed. I'm booked for surgery in July. Feeling so much more reassured, the surgeon I've chosen is absolutely amazing and so kind. I now feel like here's light at the end of the tunnel for me. Good luck to you, I hope you get the results you were expecting :)

I'm sorry you feel like this...wow shame on your doctor, but I have heard that a lot of women dot get the same result on the 2nd treatment as they did on the first one. I think you should wait for your 3rd treatment and hopefully you will get a better result. I hope this makes you feel less disappointed...:)

Second treatment. Day 29

KindKitty
Feeling anxious.
I had my second treatment yesterday. Relatively painless.
I was hoping for the same instant result as last time; instant tightness and swelling, I saw that as a real positive. This time I feel looser and can't squeeze my finger at all.. but maybe that's normal? I don't know..
No cramps at all, a little discharge (which I rarely have normally) but that's to be expected.
I shall keep you updated over the next few days.. fingers crossed.

Hi...good to hear that everything went well. One thing I did 2 weeks before my treatment was take pro biotics( acidophilus) it helps with the discharge actually no discharge. It worked...I had no discharge at all. Unfortunately my cycle started the evening of my treatment, it was a normal cycle. No cramps. But still even after my cycle was over I noticed no leaking or discharged.

Ahh thank you. I shall get some tomorrow as I still have quite a lot of discharge this time. Thank you for that.

Day 20

KindKitty
Sooo.. day 20!
I'm looking forward to my next Femilift, I don't feel as tight as I did on days 3-9 but I feel hopeful that all three treatments need to be completed for me to feel the real benefits.
I'm still doing my Kegals 4 times a day and can feel myself getting stronger as I can hold for longer. Unfortunately I still can't grip my finger and I don't feel quite as snug as I did on day 7. I'm finding this both upsetting and frustrating; maybe the Dr was right, there's no hope and I do need surgery.
It's tricky because I don't have an incontinence problem so it's hard to judge if there's any other improvement.
Also I'm becoming completely neurotic and putting my finger inside myself 50 times a day so am I overthinking?
I hoped my Elvie Kegal contraption would help with informing me of my progress. Problem is it fluctuates daily so how on earth can it be monitored? Yesterday my LV strength was 1.9 and today it's 9.4 and I do them at the same time every day. But I'll keep at it, it's only 20 days in Kitty!!
I wouldn't expect a bubble-butt if I'd only been squatting 20 days.
Is anybody even listening? I'll still keep you updated anyway, plus it's nice to talk about it.

I had my 2nd treatment today...you're right after 3 weeks it didn't feel as tight except for the lubrication. But best of all no more incontinence. So today I felt crampy when my NP was doing the treatment and it felt more intense. So we will see if I have the same discharge. Will keep you posted
April 11, 2017
Oh I do hope you get some improvement, great news about the incontinence though! I have my second treatment on Thursday so fingers crossed, I shall let you know how it goes. Thank you for keeping me updated and good luck!
