It's like his penis is firing a harpoon up there - ouuuch!

Just wondered if anyone can shed any light on this...

We are ttc #1, on 3rd cycle. Around ovulation (used clearblue digital smiley face thing to tell) I had ovulation cramping. I've had this previously, it stabs and then dies after a day or so.

This time it started as a stabbing pain about 2 inches from right hip, lower pelvis, as normal. Then it sort of went away, however if I push down on the area it twinges a lot. The real killer is when DP and I dtd, if he goes in too deep it sends a shooting pain like a lightning bolt through the area. Rocks my world, but NOT in a good way! Makes me feel sick with pain! It's fine if we don't go too deep, though.

I don't have PCOS as far as I'm aware (just long cycles, between 35-39 days), so having consulted with dr google, I'm not convinced it's rupturing ovarian cysts.

I guess the thing is that I've NEVER experienced this before. Has anyone else?

Thanks x

Missionary?

According to the Mumsnet Words of Wisdom, it's either missionary or from behind, on account of getting the sperm closer to the cervix. 'Twas the latter . And, if anything, it all felt too bloody close to the cervix!

Urrrgh no can't do from behind - my retro disco cervix does NOT agree with that. Fuck that. Plus it makes me a bit erm... trumpy from the fanny.

Can't believe I just admitted that

Oooh yeah certain times of the month doggy style is a big no no here.

Rest of the month its.... lol

I fully concur with you Rpopz . Mmmm...I've just googled "cervical positions during ovulation", and apparently it goes up instead of down....Whatever.

I think that the only conclusion I can draw from this is that it's possible for a girl to do way too much overthinking! (and overshagging, possibly ).

Hahaha fancyacupoftea I'm there on the trumpy fanny via doggy style! OH very diplomatically ignores, after all it's his fault.

Searing sex pains gone for now, hope they don't return. I was so convinced that Because it was an altogether new pain, it had to be a pg symptom, SURELY etc etc. clutching at straws I guess. Onwards and upwards. Ate asparagus and spinach sans butter to 'health up' dinner (that green face is for sick) - fuck it was rank.

Hi ladies, can I join? I've had this evil sex pain on & off for years (once it was so bad I nearly fainted & was sick after, yeah... sexy) I've been to the Drs before but they couldn't find anything, but it sounds very much like it might be 'retro cervix' - will be back in GP surgery demanding they check it out ASAP!

Do they deffo no longer associate it with infertility? We're in 1st month of TTC, had a frustraiting session of DTD this morning, with me yelping/leaping away whenever it felt like my cervix was being punched (TMI? Feel safe after guffblob-gate), leading to the 'vital fluids' never reaching their destination.... late to work for nothing!

Blugh, Im with you right now on feeling pissed off with your body - I've been eating quinoa for years & how does it repay me?!

Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop in and say... had my totally unexpected BFP this week! Don't let those crazy disco cervixes hold you back!!!

I would state that deep pain felt during sex can be very suggestive of endometriosis being present. It can cause such shooting pains.

If this keeps happening the GP should refer you to a gynae as a matter of course (many GPs do not recognise this as a possible symptom of endometriosis).

Eek, just checked out endometriosis on NHS website - scary stuff! Thanks for flagging that up though Attila - I've been planning to go for a general TTC appointment anyway, so advice on this tread has deffo given me a few specific questions to ask!

And congrats RPopz, how exciting!!

Whoop whoop Rpopz! Shit, does that mean I'm going to have to give up the caffeine too? Neverrrr!

woohoo rpopz! congrats yay positive baby thoughts to all!
but still not giving up that coffee...... just... cant.... do it!
