Hi Jen, Welcome to the board! Glad to see you posted despite the amount of us men on here! There are several recent topics by women, just have a look through the last few weeks/months posts. The good news is that you have found this site now, and not 20/30/40 years later! There are several posts on here about de-sensing (getting used to WC's and 'practicing'). Although written for men, some of the main steps apply to women. ie fluid loading and trying out several WCs etc. As Andrew has said, women have attended the workshops before so get yourself booked on one. It seems very nerve racking but it will be the best thing you can do! If you need any help or advice then put a new post up so everyone can help out. All the best, Mark.
