What Are The Chances Of Getting Pregnant With Abnormal Small Vagina?
I was born at 24 weeks and am now 22 years old. I am petite and have struggled with anorexia since the age of 12. I have irregular periods - maybe 4 a year although I get a lot of spotting . I suffer from BPD, Conversion disorder and Chronic fatigue. I have also been told my vagina is abnormally small and have had trouble with my sex life (needed to use dilatory aids). I am worried I will have a prem baby and have been told my chances of conception are low - is this true? How do I find out? My partner may be joining the army next year and I will be doing a Masters university course, if this happens we would like to begin trying for a child before he goes on a tour of duty. Can you help?

Hello,
I think vaginal size doesn't affect the pregnancy gestation. If your periods are irregular, do a evaluation of yourself. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. You can try medicines for growth of your follicles and track the growth of your follicles by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles are more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles.
You can go for intrauterine insemination (IUI) if you are not able to do sexual intercourse naturally. Take progesterone for the next two weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Discuss with your doctor regarding it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
