I am feeling ugly I had sex with my partner now I don't enjoy normally bleed but yesterday was a lot of blood . I got to the point where I don't want sex .

Im so sorry youre feeling like that. I have now been the same for a number of years as the pain and bleeding afterwards has made it not worth the risk!!! Can you speak to your GP. I dont know, (you probably already have and feel like its pointless) also speak to your partner, it was the mistake I made as i didnt think he would understand and assumed he just started getting fed up. I hope things start to get better for you soon.

I totally get this feeling it is so hard. Definitely talk to your partner. I had to with mine and he totally understands and I didn't want him to feel like crap because he thinks he had hurt me. I do think it is possible to have good sex with endo but it takes a lot of time and effort and lubricant and try and be completely relaxed to do so. The bleeding needs to be sorted with gp or gyne. I managed to get mine under control with zoladex injections. I would definitely advocate for that and maybe explain to your partner that you need to get that sorted first. Because bleeding after sex is mentally quite hard to process especially every time. And your partner does need to understand that you call the shots if it hurts you need to stop at any time and not feel the need to forefill his needs. Endo in a relationship can be very difficult to get to grips with on both sides. I'm lucky my partner is very respectful and understanding of this. If you need anything message me we all have your back on here so don't feel alone.

Hey there I’m single and I hate sex because of the pain so I have abstained for three years and am not looking for a partner or anything as someone said if it hurts your partner has to be respectful of you. Talk to him too. As he may not even know hun. Don’t do things for the sake of it as you don’t want to upset him. Just by talking to him he should get the picture and respect you. If he loves you then he will respect you.

Unfortunately I think it tests a lot of relationships. And I think if I was single I'd stay single because I think its a lot to try and get a guy to understand and therefore respect you for it. X
