Okay ladies, need some advice! (I'm obviously going to talk to my doctor, just want to know if this has been an issue with anyone else) I am 13 weeks PP and sex is so painful that we've stopped. It feels like he's putting a cactus inside me (sorry for the weird analogy!!). We can barely start and I'm crying. We are using lube. What could the problem be? I did start the depo shot about 8 weeks ago, could this be a side effect? I've read that it can affect libido but that hasn't been a problem for me. I want to have sex, it's just so dang painful!! We started having sex again at 6 weeks and have been just fine up until a few weeks ago. I feel so bad about it, it's never hurt like this before. Anyone been there??
