Is my vagina broken?

Question

On a serious note:
 I'm 12 weeks post partum, vaginal delivery, I did tear-2 stitches- no other complications. Cleared from Doctor for sex, said everything looked good, currently have IUD.

Sex is still so painful! We waited 7 weeks for the first time and I just couldn't. Second time I tried so hard to get past the pain, but again, I couldn't. Third time is the charm? Right? Unless you're me, and your vagina is broken...

I don't want to even try anymore. What could be the issue? It can't be deep. Shallow is ok, but that really limits any movement. Tried different positions, definitely used lubricant...

Any ideas?

Answer

It'll get better. It took me about 3 months to be totally comfortable again.

Answer

Same exact story with me. 2 stitches. 14 w pp now and it still hurts. I'm just hoping it'll get better eventually :(

Answer

It took almost a year for it to be totally comfortable and like it used to be for me

Answer

I know for me we just keep having sex and it's generally been getting better. I don't have an iud though. My husband just tries to go slowly and help me get through the pain.

Answer

I would bring this up with your OB! Maybe he's hitting your cervix or iud? I know when my husbands to deep he hits my iud and it hurts a shit ton.
