I’m 7+2 weeks and I’m having pain during sex. The pain has been there since the day before I tested (2 days before my missed period). I had been checking my cervix at the time to see if I was ovulating/pregnant. The day we had sex (2 days before my missed period), I checked my cervix. It was hard like a nose and low. I knew when you got pregnant that it’s supposed to soften and raise up so it’s hard to touch with you finger. Anyway, since I felt it and it was low and hard I thought I wasn’t pregnant. We had sex and my husband must have hit my cervix a bunch because it was super painful (we always use lube, so it wasn’t painful because it was too dry or something). Anyway, I took a pregnancy test the next day to double check and I was preggo!

Since then (about 24 days ago), we’ve only had sex 4 times, partly because I’m a little anxious about the pain and so I haven’t been initiating. All of the times have been painful in some positions. It’s like if he goes all the way in it feels like he’s hitting my cervix and it hurts! I’ve had pain from him hitting my cervix in the past but it was rarely an issue. This is the first time it’s happened 5x in a row over an entire month (with tons of breaks in there for me to heal!). The last time we had sex we had tooooons of foreplay because I thought maybe I wasn’t warmed up enough, but it was still painful.

I’ve also noticed that my bladder (and maybe uterus) hurt when I pee. The pain isn’t really noticeable until after my bladder is empty and then there’s like a dull pain for a few seconds. It doesn’t happen all the time but definitely happens if I hold my pee too long (and I do kinda hold it for awhile because I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I GOTTA PEE, but not like in a UTI kinda way). I dunno if it’s related or not to the pain during sex but I thought I’d mention it.

Is anyone else having pain from sex? Anyone else check to see if their cervix is low? I’m too anxious to check mine because it just feels so sensitive right now and I’m paranoid about irritating it / introduce germs into my uterus with a finger (for some reason I have this irrational thought that a penis doesn’t seem like it would be as irritating or likely to carry germs as a finger 😂). Anyway anyone have similar issues? And ideas for how to fix it?
