BCP & painful intercourse
| Tue, 05-25-2004 - 1:31am |
Ok, I have been on OrthoTriCyclen now for over 2 years & recently started my first "active" relationship. It doesn't so much as hurt but my natural lubrication is pretty much little to none-gone almost! What is going on here? Also I noticed that I started to have before-period cramping tonight after intercourse this morning. HELP!

Sometimes I get cramping if he's been hitting my cervix too vigorously, but usually that's right after and not later in the day, though some abdominal cramps feel like period cramps but aren't! I wouldn't worry too much about that unless the pain is significant, then you might bring that up to your doctor.
Good luck!

As Judie said dry and painful sex can be the beginning of serious reproductive health problems not to mention developing an association between sex and pain to the extent that the sufferer tries to avoid an intimate relationship to the extent possible. You might let DH read this discussion to show him that the problem isn’t with him but is a rather common physical problem for which there is a simple solution.
Good luck and hugs

I have talked to my doctor and she said it was due to the depo and not any other health problem. No matter what I do, he doesn't believe me. I will check out what you said to.
Thanks, Jaime
