Repeat bleeding after sex?

Just some basic info to start: I'm 26, married, and we do not use any form of birth control. I generally get 1-4 periods/year (but have gone as long as 19 months without mestruating), yet despite extensive testing there is nothing medically wrong. I have also to this day never had any issues with arousal or self-lubrication. I have neither health insurance nor a lot of money, so I'd rather not see a doctor unless I'm certain its absolutely necessary.

Okay, so here's the issue: For about the past month, whenever my husband and I have intercourse, I get a sharp pain when he pushes in. Usually the remainder of the sex is still somewhat uncomfortable, and I am often sore into the next day ('internal cramp' kind of sore, not 'raw from too much sex' sore). I always clean up shortly after making love and theres never anything then, but the morning after I'll notice a tinge of blood ranging from pink to brown. Its very light yet very definate, like the first visual sign of a period about to start. When I pull out the tampon later in the day there's almost nothing on it, and thats the last I see of it until the next time we make love. In an attempt to remedy this, we've tried abstaining for 2 weeks in case there was some sort of minor injury that needed a chance to heal, and resumed with very gentle sex 2 days ago. We also started using a little lube in case we were both misjudging my wetness and causing too much friction. However since then we've made love 3 times, each time accompanied by the same discomfort and followed by the light bleeding.

I was wondering if anyone else has any knowledge, advice, or suggestion on this matter. Any input will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
