it happens to me all the time. its really annoying. totally into it then it's dry as a desert. we have to do the same thing. I'm thinking it might have something to do with me taking BC and how swollen we can get from endo

no offense but it really helps to know that you go thru it too! it really embarrassed me because we have been together so long and we were in a sexual relationship before we started dating and it had never happened until recently he even like asked me what was wrong and if it was ok. i was so embarrassed. but he brushed it off and said that it could be from either my BC or my antidepressant.

This happens to to me sometimes. Specially at certain times of the month. I have the mirena and I am sure it contributes to it. Don't be embarrassed that is why we have lube these things happen. Endo messes with so many parts of us.

I thought it was caused by endo, not BC...now I wonder? Yes, I am dry as a desert quite a bit. Used to be a river when I was younger, and then about age 27 the area dried up.

I really like Slumber Party's "Just Like Me" lube. It is the best out there. I get it in the pear flavor & it is actually just like me, just younger. :-)

Thank you ladies! @endowife how much is it and where can guy find it?

It's through one of those tupperware party companies. :-)
I went to a party and since then have been hooked.

It comes in a big squirt bottle, about the size of a ketchup bottle. Lasts a long time and is their top seller.

I wish I had answers for why this happens. So I dont have an issue with the dry thing too much, but I get very swollen as well. It happens from the beginning, and I can usually get past it. I also have a hard time with transvaginal ultrasounds. Im trying to reintroduce tampons again, because they were too painful from this swelling sensation (Dioxin free only!) It also seems about 80% of the time after sex, I get a yeast infection. WTF?!
Anyway, its like "it" doesn't want anything entering at all! It feels, like you said, swollen, it burns, and is bruisy, and even feels like sometimes something tears inside of it (OUCH!!)-Ill bleed a little.
This is relatively new, its only been going on the last 2 years, but as you all know, with endo, it seems theres always a new "adventure"/wierd symptoms around the corner!
My only advice is to try to relax as much as you can before and during. It helps me. Lubricants are obviously good for the dryness. If possible try to focus on the pleasure, over the pain. I know sometimes its impossible. Also try positions that dont hurt as much. Try taking some form of pain killer before, tylenol, motrim, whatever you take, that will help, but may dessensitize you a bit.

I use lube from the get go....and lots of it! It really makes sex much more comfortable.

I had a hard time with that when I was on a progesterone therapy...as soon as I went off, no problem! Good luck and keep an open mind!

Thank you ladies!!! I haven't had an issue with tampons yet... But I've also been doing everything I can to avoid having my period because of the cramps that I've been getting (and that's after surgery)
