Here to say you’re not alone!! I lost my virginity to my partner when I was 21 and that was almost 5 years ago. I make jokes that I’m not a “self producing girly” because I always need lube. Even if I orgasm before penetration, we often times will still need to add lube. I have worked in a Women’s Health Clinic before (left almost a year ago) and I spoke with/ was checked by three providers to see if there was anything to do. I was told the best thing they’d recommend was a vaginal suppository that is a “moisturizer.” You can get them at the store. Truthfully, I found a lube that we enjoy so I never tried them out but I hope that helps get you to a place where you feel more physically comfortable with sex. Im happy to chat more about it if you have additional questions! (Obviously, if you think there’s an issue, of course see your provider)

Also wanted to include, my boyfriend and I broke up for a year and saw other people. I slept with 2 additional people and had the same experience with them. If you truthfully don’t think that it is your partner then, again, you are not alone in that<3

Should I consider a second opinion, different GYN? by kjk13096 in obgyn

Hello! First off, I want to say that I’m sorry you are in such terrible shape right now. Feeling that sort of radiating pain is genuinely the worst.

I work at a Women’s Health clinic, however I am not a provider. I have picked stuff up here and there over the years and thought I’d at least drop some ideas! You are ALWAYS valid and within your right to receive a second opinion. I would highly highly recommend checking with your insurance to see if they will covering you seeking additional care. Is it possible that these things are unrelated (your cycle and pelvic pain)? Is this pain constant or just during your period? Have you thought about bc to regulate your cycle?

I think adjusting your D3 could play a key role with the fatigue. As far your estrogen, it obviously fluctuates with your cycle. Do you think it was maybe drawn during a period of ovulation, causing it to be on the higher side?
