Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I posted anything on here. But this has been eating me up! Whenever me and my partner have sex it’s so painful and not that enjoyable for me, with light bleeding afterwards. I’ve been to my doctors and they keep telling me it’s normal for someone my age (22) to experience painful sex etc. But I can’t help but feel like my concerns are being dismissed. I also feel like it could have an effect on my relationship down the line, we go months without it because I never feel up for it. I’m currently on the microgynon pill, it would be interesting to hear if anyone else has similar issues on this pill? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you getting 30+ minutes of foreplay focused on making you thoroughly wet and aroused? Have you and your partner both been tested for STIs and infections?
