Vaginal dryness

I am very much in love with my husband, but I cannot get lube up before sex NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. It is going to ruin our relationship. He thinks it is him, and I know it is the depo shot. I asked my doctor. Sex is very painful when I get dry. I get embarrassed about it too. One time I used ky and he found it by the bed. He instantly thought he wasn't turning me on. He was, but I just don't work. THe lube was awsome, but he isn't open to using it. Is there anything i can change in my diet or anyway to tell him what is going on? Is there anything written on this?

Thanks, Jaime

Thank you for thinking about me. My hubby has agreed to use it!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited. Tonight is the night! I'll let you know how it goes. I did find that KY makes a long lasting inseratable lube that last for 2-3 days. Add that to KY warming and it should be fun.

THanks for all the help and support

When my husband and I first started having sex--in highschool--I wasn't on the pill. I never had a problem getting dry. But I didn't drink a lot of pop either. I drank water. After moving out of my parents home and started on bcp, I was dryer than normal. The more pop I drank and less water I drank the drier I got until I had to use something. My husband thought it was him. I truthfully didn't understand what it was, until I looked it up. I had found an article that stated that a women needs to drink water more than ever. I started to drink more water and eventually stopped drinking pop. I didn't need to use anything before sex. Now when I feel dry I know that I have been drinking to much pop and not enough water. It works for me. So, after all this, my recommendation is to drink more water. It will also help if you are gaining weight on depo like I did.

Good Luck!
