Hi, I'm Megan, and I have been cured of vaginismus. It was not until after I was married that I realized I had vaginismus! 

As presented during our Vaginismus event on Zoom 05/12/2022:

I couldn't believe I couldn't have intercourse because I was married with vaginismus.

I have been married for about 18 and a half years now. 

My husband and i married when we were 22. We were both raised with a strict religious upbringing where abstinence was encouraged we were encouraged to save sex for marriage

I really had no idea that i would had vaginismus at all.

I never wore tampons, or had a gynecological exam .

I fell in love super quick with my husband and knew right away that he was the man i'm gonna marry. I think he knew pretty quickly too. We enjoyed making out and being close to each other while really looked forward to the time we did get married.

I didn't feel fearful, scared, or nervous to get married. It was more of a feeling of "let's get married, let's get this over with so we can get going." 

When we got married, obviously due to vaginismus, intercourse didn't work. It started out weird we suggested like let's just try to relax a little this is all new to both of us. Let's just take it slow it doesn't have to be something crazy to begin with so we took a bath together for the first time and that was exciting. 

Then as soon as we got to the bed, it's like the best thing I can describe. It was like an out-of-body experience! 

My eyes clamped shut my body stiffened up and i started inching my way to the top of the bed.

Then just tears, constant tears and i'm in my head thinking "What the heck? Why? Why am i reacting this way?" 

I had been looking so forward to doing this!

I couldn't understand it.

I immediately he stopped and said "I'm so sorry, did I hurt you? Did I do something?"

Obviously the pain was not his fault, and it was not my fault, it was vaginismus.

Talking with doctors was of no use, they seemed to think that I must have been abused growing up. OBGYN visits were impossible.

we had lost any hope for penetrative intercourse.

I thought I would have to live like this forever. 

Until I found the Women's Therapy Center. I have been cured of vaginismus for many years now!
