painful sex at times

Hi all. 28 y/o married female. I had a gyne exam and pap smear done in Febuary of this year, everything was normal according to my doc. My hubby and I just recently started to try and get pregnant, started in June. My problem is, the last couple of months, not every time we have sex, but sometimes, it is painful. Not a burning dry sensation upon entry, that is fine. It is when he is thrusting deep. We tend to umm, embarassing to say here, like it rough a lot. But lately, this hasn't been feeling too good. I notice it hurts in doggy style, not so much in missionary, if it did then very slight. It goes away immediately, only hurts when he is thrusting and prodding in. Sometimes a shift in my hips or something can hinder it. No pain after intercourse or when going slow. It doesn't stick around. No abnormal discharge or smell. The only other thing I could add, and it probably isn't related at all, is that for the past 4 cycles, my period has been coming at shorter intervals, averaging 22-24 days for a cycle. I read online many different things...."he's just hitting your cervix, that can hurt!", to other things that are pretty scary such as internal problems. Could you tell me anything?

It could also be that your uterus isn't in place (might be a little sideways) I've had that too, and it was painful! A massage practitioner did a stomach massage on me, and put it back in place. The pain was gone after that. Nothing else was wrong with me.just the uterus out of place sure to heavy lifting... Good luck ;-)

Thank you for responding.

So when I read or hear that when the penis hits the cervix, it is actually true that it may cause pain, even if nothing physically is wrong?

If there were some sort of infection, would my cervix maybe have showed anything (inflammation,discharge?) when she did the pelvic exam?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the pain you are experiencing is probably due to the penis hitting the cervix/uterus.  I would do a couple of things if you were my patient, first I would test for infection--pelvic infection can cause the uterus to be tender.  Second I would do an ultrasound to see if you have a cyst on your ovary or fibroid on your uterus that is tender.  Endometriosis is another possibility.
Female dominant tends to be the best position to avoid discomfort because you have some control over how deep and where he is thrusting.
Hope this helps!
