Well that was fun. I just got back from my OB GYN's office. This really isn't all that surprising considering...well if it's going to happen it'll prob happen to me. In my attempt to cure my yeast infection with out having him call in some Diflucan I inserted a clove a garlic into my vagina..I know I know! But this really does work. HOWEVER! When one cannot retrieve the garlic clove they inserted from the vaginal canal is when this becomes a problem. Of course he comes in the room with a smile on his face. I too thought that this was slightly humorous. I've known him for like 4 years & am super comfortable with him. I can joke around with him and all that. To make all this more fun my GYN's nurse wasn't there today & some other chick was in there....of course with this "omg how strange look on her face" look #&%#@, if you're gonna be an OB nurse you need a little thicker skin than that. I feel certain that a garlic glove isn't the strangest thing you're ever going to see. So anyway there I am...you know with that cute little sheet on my lap...he's smiling of course because I'm such an idiot. "Where did you read to do this. I've never heard of garlic helping a yeast infection." Oh. Ok. Good. that makes me feel like much less of a moeRON that you have never even heared of this before. "Oh there it is. Is that the only one T.?" hahaha. YES! it's the only effing one. Thanks for double checking with me first though. Well he*& at least it worked! No yeast infection. Of course he reassured me that this wasn't even close to strange considering what he's seen. And of course, as always, shared a lovely story with me. Sorry if all this was TMI for some, but I just got back and had to share. Good Lord. I think I'll have a beer with lunch today :)
lol...All of your comments made me laugh :) ..my husband...Oh. he's loving this one. Field Day! The Doctor's episode with the garlic..yea it's totally on my DVR. Have I watched it yet...um. no. whoopsy. OH....the beer(s) extra yummy for sure ;)
no. no burning. Thank the Lord....well you know....considering....I did read that it does burn some & not others. And by others I'm referring to the other 2 people in the world who have done this to themselves...those stats are of course from my husband. My husband who is now taking great pleasure out of calling me...spice crotch or garlic crotch. He switches between the two. In a home that includes a lot of sarcasm you can only imagine the spice & vegetable comments.
Hope everyone has a good week ~LOVE~
LOL, whew, you are a trooper! I'm glad all is good. If it makes you feel a little better, I've definitely heard of garlic helping an infection. But I'm too chicken to do it because a friend of mine years ago tried it, and she said when she was walking into class, someone asked who was cooking garlic bread! Gross, I know, but that story makes it much easier for me to put a call in to my GYN for diflucan, haha. Thanks for the laugh!
LOL! You have made my day. Going to the gyn this afternoon will have to share!
BTW, you are supposed to press the garlic cloves, soak a tampon in that and insert the tampon!
LOL! Thanks for sharing. I got a good giggle and will remember to keep the garlic in my spaghetti and for fighting off the vampires and whatnot, but not to be used for my ladybits! Enjoy that beer! You deserve it!

Too funny. A friend's mom (yes it really was a friend's mom) went for her annual exam. When she got home, she commented that he had said something odd, 'I see you got all gussied up for me'. Huh? My friend asked her mom what he could have meant. She said 'I don't know, all I did was borrow a little of your feminine deodorant spray'. Friend does not have FDS, she only has glitter hair spray.
I was going to make spaghetti for dinner tonight. Think maybe I wont,,lol
lol. my cousin worked at an ob office and a nun put a roll of mentons up there....
the song ...the fresh maker has new meaning now...next time tie a string to that garlic...lol=)
OMG! Thank you for sharing this story! ......:)
I have many friends who load tampon applicators with yogurt for treating yeast infections. I just eat the danged stuff! It's much easier that way.
1st time I've ever heard of garlic. LOL
LMAO, you earned that beer ;)
Oh my god, once I had a little mini vibrator thing get stuck up inside of me. It had a little string thing that I was supposed to be able to reach but couldn't. I was FLIPPING out. But I used my mad ma-giver (sp?) skills and took out a tweezer. That was a bad night... Well, actually considering what I had stuck inside of me, it was a pretty good night till I realized I couldn't get it out! Lol
ha ha, well you should have watched "The Doctors" tv show the other day because they talked about this on their show and suggested NOT to do it, LOL. I have also heard of putting garlic and oil in your ear for ear pain.
Bwahahahahahahaaaa!! I sincerely didn't know where this was going from your title, but OMG, I almost fell off my chair at "inserted a garlic clove into my vagina"! Thanks for sharing - I LOVE your sense of humor!
Oh my gosh that is too funny! Apple cider vinegar works well too, you have to drink some and use some as a douche! Tastes aweful, but at least nothing will get stuck!
I thought I had an 'off' morning. Thanks for the laugh!
Oh dear. I needed the laugh!!! ;)
I would not tell my husband because he would NEVER let me live it down! Enjoy your beer and Happy Monday, just four more to go! Put the garlic down!!!!
BWAHHHHHAAA - many things come to mind about garlic, etc. But I will restrain myself ;)
Thanks for the laugh! I had a friend get a mini vibrator stuck in her. She could not get it out and panicked. She went to minor emergency where she knew someone. OMG!! When she told me I could not stop laughing!!
Your story is almost as good!!
Blessings!

Oh my that's really funny, however I think I would just go with the Diflucan. There is only 1 way I get them and that is with 1 certain antibiotic and other than that I have never gotten them, knock knock on wood, but I always get the Diflucan and poof it's gone in 2 days. No cream and no garlic in my crotch..hahahaha
Thanks for sharing...glad it worked! And yes the other nurse needs to get over her "stuff".
have that beer! I would.
That's for sharing I needed that laugh!!! I am glad it worked too. I had never hurd of that and I like you would probably have similar problems if I tryed something like that!
Lmao!! Its ok love! Make it 2 beers :)
::snort:laugh::
I've heard of people making plain yogurt popsicles for insertion during painful yeast infections, but never garlic inserts.
Now just remember, Z... once it's on the internet it's on the internet FOREVER!!!
Thanks for making me laugh today.... hmmm Garlic....Heard of yogurt never a garlic clove.. lol
Funny!!!!!!!! But I have to ask, did it not burn at all?
I'm a nurse midwife so I have put in some time "retrieving" things so not to worry--- it happens a lot! Garlic does work well, it affects the Ph balance. Next time poke a hole with a needle and run a string through so you can retrieve it. Or try squatting and bearing down, should get it close enough that you can get it out.
That nurse was probably new, by this time next week she won't even remember you because she will have seen some really crazy stuff!
Yup, my day started a little rough....but nothing like this. LOL Thanks for sharing.
LOL ! I've never heard of that before either. Ill have to remember that one. I prefer home remedies when possible.
This made me smile. I needed that, thanks! Glad it went well at the gyn :-)
Great story!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing such a funny story.
