Pain During Sex/random Cramping??? Posted: 02-08-06 17:09pm
For the past couple of months, it has been
painful for me to have sex with my fiance.
It burns really bad during penetration,
and although the pain usually subsides as
we get going, sometimes it hurts the whole
time. About 90% of the time, I bleed a
little bit (just enough to notice on the
toilet paper).
This is soooo frustrating! At first I
thought the problem was that we were
having sex too much. But we've tried
several times to wait a week, and it never
seems to help. The weird thing is, a few
days ago we had sex and it didn't hurt at
all - I thought the pain was finally over.
But when we had sex again last night, it
was the most painful it has ever been. I
don't know what I should do. If it keeps
happening, i'm probably gonna go to the
doctor. But i'm afraid he'll say to just
stop having sex so much. Even though that
may be the problem, I don't see why it
would still hurt so bad after going a week
without sex. Maybe i'll wait 2 weeks this
time and see what happens.
Also, i've noticed that i'm getting really
random cramps lately. If I cough or
laugh, it feels like my ovaries get
"twinged" or cramp up. I also will
sometimes get random period-like cramps
for no apparent reason. I just switched
birth control pills, so I don't know if
that has anything to do with it.
Anyways, any of your opinions would help.
It's probably nothing, but it's definitely
gotten my attention and I just don't know
what I should do.

It's most likely your birth control. I
had been having the same problems and went
to my doc to find out what was going on
with me. I have been on the same kind for
the past 5 years and my hormone levels had
changed causing me to have cramping, pain
during sex, and very light bleeding. So
as soon as this last pill pack is done,
i'll be taking a new kind. But just to be
safe, i'd get into the doc. It could also
be a cyst on your ovary (which is no big
deal, they have meds to get rid of them).
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Light Bleeding And Pain During Sexual Intercourse Posted: 09-22-07 05:08am
Hi Emily,
I have never mentioned it to anyone but I
also have pain during and after sex, along
with light bleeding. Not every time, but
the majority.
I have not been on contraceptives for a
good 15 years.
I don't feel brave enough to ask a doctor.
I haven't had a pap smear for a long time.
I hate them.
If you don't mind invasive techniques, see
your doctor.
