HELP! RUINING MY CHANCES???

im going to sound really stupid now, and i feel it!

weve been trying 7 months as u all know. but i didnt realise i could have been ruining my chances and maybe giving myself bv, thrush, PID???????

i would die if i thought id given myself pid and was infertile because of it

after we have sex i keep my hips elevated for 10 mins- half an hour, but before i can on with the day i usually wash the semen out

otherwise it winds up in my underwear and it really smells gross

plus when it stays inside me it smells TERRIBLE

i dont douche, i just use my clean, damp fingers to swish around a little inside.

do you guys think i could be doing damage like douching does?

im not doing it EVER agin. but i really didnt know i was hurting!!!!

im scared- help!

Where did you hear that this could be causing things like PID etc? As long as your fingers are clean, there is no reason why this should be a problem. There are many women that do internal CM checks daily, or even more often and don't have any problems-it's actually recommended by fertility experts. I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as you wash your hands first.
