I thought I’d post here in case anyone has experienced similar. The two things may be completely unrelated but my gut feeling is that they’re not.
My bf lives several hours away so we don’t see each other that often. The last time I had sex with him was just as I was coming down with covid but at that point was testing negative on the lateral flows. Everything was fine, no pain during sex.
Whilst I was ill there was one day when my gums were bleeding loads when I brushed my teeth, there was blood literally dripping into the sink, but it just happened once. I looked it up and covid can apparently cause bleeding gums, and it hasn’t happened again so I didn’t worry too much.
Now it’s been 2.5 weeks since I first became ill, and I feel a lot better although still very tired. My bf is visiting at the moment, he’s been here for a couple of days. We’ve had sex 3 times and each time it’s been really painful for me. The first time I didnt bleed, although it was painful, yesterday morning afterwards I noticed afterwards that I was bleeding quite a lot (definitely not a period). The bleeding stopped after sex. I mentioned the bleeding gums thing because I have in the past bled during/after sex because I have a sensitive spot on my cervix which has been known to cause bleeding in the past if I have enthusiastic sex with someone with a large penis, although it hasn’t happened for about 10 years. So I’m wondering if like the gums, covid has caused this to be an issue again?
We had sex again last night, no bleeding but still just as painful.
Like I said, the timing could be a coincidence but it’s really odd that prior to getting covid sex was not painful at all, and now it is. I was hoping it was a one off but it doesn’t appear to be. Any advice appreciated.
