Since you probably can't get in to see your doct in the next few days, try taking a pain pill (whatever stops your endo pain) 30 minutes or so before you plan on having sex and a pain pill after. I know it sounds like a lot but it can help. Look into pelvic floor therapy. My pelvic floor muscles were real tight and made sex and/or orgasm painful.

Thank you! I will have to look onto that. While we were having sex it wasn't bad but after it hurt sooooo bad. I took a pain pill after and I was okay.

are all positions painful or just some? for me there are two that dont cause pain.....

(warning: this would be tmi anywhere but this board)

like swankmama suggested, try different positions. cowgirl (me on top) tends to hurt less, probably because in that position the woman has more control over how deep the penetration is. also ask your bf to be a little more gentle depth wise.

lots of foreplay and lube to relax your muscles is good too.

also i'm sure this is the hardest thing ever to actually follow, but if it's only happened once maybe it was a freak thing and won't happen again. at least, you should think of it that way because being tense about whether you're going to be in pain is just going to make it worse.

Thank you :) I'm hoping it will only be a one time thing and I think the foreplay will help a lot. I have just been working on not worrying about the issues this disease brings up. I talked to my boy friend and he agreed that a little less agressive would be best. It thanks so much though I really appriciate the advise:)

see and missionary is the only one that isnt painful for me....its amazing how much endo affects your sex life.....which is a huge part of a relationship.....i have figured out that more foreplay and lube help...if its hurting afterward....try a heating pad and just try and relax completely. easier said than done I know.....

I always have pain during and after sex. I dread having sex because I know what I am asking for. The pain after sex is much worse tho, and can last up to a few days. I feel pressure and pain in my lower pelvic area and as well as in the butt region which make it difficult to sit. I hope things get better for you.

Missionary is the only way it doesn't hurt me. Just take it slow and easy (not always the most fun I know!).

Like the other women said, lube is your best friend with endo, KY liquid works best for me. Ive heard "from the back" is the most painful with endo. And girl on top is supposed to be best because you can control everything.

If missionary is a non-painful one, you can make it feel even better by putting a pillow underneath your bottom/lower back, it creates an angle that increases the odds of your guy hitting your G-spot (making the mundane missionary more fun!) And the more foreplay the better (thats true even with women who dont have endo!)

I know its hard but try to relax, if you go into it thinking "its gunna hurt" odds are it will. Hope this helps! :-)

Hopefully this is just a one time thing, definitely just relax and don't over-think it, because if you get tense and stressed it might make matters worse. Foreplay will definitely help you relax more! I agree with what everyone's said though, girl on top and missionary seem to be the best for me, nothing where penetration is too deep. On my occasional good days I can use any position, but on bad days those work best, though I tend to still have pain after sometimes for days. You might want to think about taking some advil or something before hand as well to prevent the pain altogether. Good luck!

I would definately look into pelvic floor dysfunction. It is apparently pretty common in women with endo. I still have other pain, but getting that fixed has DRASTICALLY improved my sex life. I went from not even being able to get him in without excruciating pain to bearable, and sometimes even really good sex. Definately look into it!
