Please tell me I'm not the only one....

I am 12 weeks pp and still there is one particular area that is in excruciating pain when we try to have sex. It was a little frustrating at first, but now I'm so mad that I don't even want to try anymore. Is anyone else having this issue?

    DH and I haven't done the deed yet this time.  He hates condoms and I'm getting a mirena at 12 weeks.  I'm ok with the wait.  With DS, it got better over time.  I will tell you that with DS I tore a ligament in there.  I felt it every time I squatted.  There was nothing I could do other than give it time to heal... it took about a year.

  • Glad I am not the only one. It hurts so bad I cry. Poor DH.

  • Lube. Lube. Lube.

    Seriously. It is painful for me too but the lube definitely helps!

  • Yes it is still painful for me too.  It has gotten better over time, but I will be so happy when I won't feel so tense at first because of the pain.

  • tmi.....lots of lube and a pillow under my butt to lift my hips up a bit. Only way that it doesn't hurt. It is getting better each time but in minor bits. It's the initial entering that hurts the most for me. Those 2 things make a world of difference with that.

    Oh and make sure your lube hasn't expired, especially if you have sensitive skin. That was the biggest mistake the first time we tried. Who knew that stuff expired? Nothing like burning skin to stop things dead in their tracks.

  • Haha.  I've been telling DH the whole time he's not getting any unless he brings home lube...  Guess what he brought home last night...  Looks like the 12 week dry spell for him might be ending soon, if I ever have time since A's always the fussiest when DH is home.

  • You're not the only one.  Before we have sex, I use the numbing spray they gave me in the hospital.  I just use my hand to cover the parts that don't hurt and spray my perineum and then wait a few minutes before sex.
  • I never thought about the numbing spray. I might have to fish that out! We are using KY sensitive, probably just not enough of it. Maybe we just need to try it more often :) Because frankly, I'm getting tired of him having all the fun!!! Thanks, Ladies!
