1st time sex questions
| Thu, 05-10-2007 - 5:19pm |
I am 34 and just started having sex with my boyfriend/fiance of 3 years. I noticed after a day after having sex that my ovaries were a little tender. I'm not sore anywhere else. I was just wondering if this was normal?

Welcome to the board katieally, and congratulations!
Most likely, it's your cervix. Often, his penis will bump into it during intercourse, and it can become tender. If you find that uncomfortable, the two of you can experiment with different positions, or he can control his thrust better. Some women like the feeling, others don't -- so let him know what you prefer.
Your ovaries are too far inside of you and away from the action, so that's why I'm thinking it's your cervix. If you continue to experience tenderness, and you think it might be your ovaries, it could be a totally unrelated thing. In that case, you should see your gyn to rule out any medical problems.
