First doctor I saw for this told me this would be the perfect cure, and, when I said I wasn't ready for motherhood, told me I should really hurry up and have a kid while I was still fertile. I was 23 and had no job.

Pregnancy and the whole period I breastfed my baby (5 months post-partum) my symptoms completely disappeared, making me think the whole problem is hormonal. Also I don't know if this made any difference but I had an emergency c-section, not natural birth.

I developed vulvodynia after my first birth. I got a graze the size of a 50p piece and this became horribly infected.Not sure if it was this all the treatment-antibiotics and antibiotic cream I had to use triggered the vulvodynia but I have never been the same since-over 10 years ago.

Although I'm not entirely sure if this "cured" me, my vulvadynia and vestibuladynia were gone 6 months after the birth of my first child. It did take 6 months - I still had the same problems for those first six months. But I am thrilled to report that I am cured. I hope it never, ever comes back! I had it for 6 years.
