Painful sex..

Hey guys, so I posted on here a few days ago about the zoladex implant and painful sex.. Nothing is working, I think I've had one night that it was great...

My question today is, what positions are the best to do with endo.. I know that me on top is supposed to be good but it hurts like hell, him on top is the same.. I've tried googling it but nothing comes up :(

Please help me again..

Hello, sorry to hear you are having such a hard time, life with endo can really suck sometimes!!

Have you tried spooning? I cannot cope with being on top at certain times of the month but laying on my side with him behind me seems to work well.

I know it's difficult but try to relax too, I find that if I'm thinking it might hurt I can tense up and then it hurts anyway.

Hey I haven't yet, I've tried me on top, him on top and facing each other but they don't work and cause a lot of pain.. I'll give that a hit tonight :)

I try to relax but it is soo hard when you know what to expect..

All good hun, thank you for your input :) xx

Thank you for your help xx

So we tried spooning the other night... It was too painful to finish :( I really hope I can sort something out. My partner has told me that if we can't find something that will work he is going to stop having sex with me (not cause he's mad but cause he hates seeing me in pain)..

I'm 20 and also in the same situation unfortunately I haven't found anything that stops the pain only that different positions sometimes help, and that during my breaks on the pill, when I start it again the pain is worse , ive also had my Endo excised and it didn't help much , hope we will all find a solution soon, the coil is supposed to be good but I haven't yet tried it ..x

I'm not on the pill at the moment as I'm having the zoladex implant. What is the coil exactly?

Thank you for your help :) xx

It's a little device that sits him the womb, it slowly releases progesterone , and is 99 percent effective at stopping pregnancy, it's also supposed to make periods especially much better or even stop until removed, and help with pelvic pain , however some women have a terrible time with it while others great, to me it seems you love it or hate it , most ladies with endo are reccomeneded To try it at sometime or another I'm reluctant to try it at the moment but I think it's going to be the next step, ive been told my gyne won't give me any other treatment untill I have tried it x

Ahh righto, sounds painful.. I hope I don't have to have it. I don't even know if the zoladex is working or not, I've had no signs saying it is.. Thank you for telling me, I hope it goes well with you x
