You have 2 options \n\n1. Have the strings cut\n2. tuck them around your cervix b4 intercourse.\n\nI like you had the same problem. I have a short canal However I opted with the tucking of the strings BC if you do get them cut it might be slightly more difficult to remove it. My stings were obviously long due to the small canal and when extended all I have to do is barely insert my fingertip and feel them. With time the strings do wear a little and become more flexible and almost unnoticeable. With normal vaginal secretions and semen they do soften a bit. I wish you the best of luck

You can get this fixed, sweetie.  Go to a doctor.  There are surgeries that help this tremendously.  Also...for those who are making jokes...this will happen to about 90% of all women who have children or that live long enough!  You can also do Kegel exercises to help strengthen the muscels that hold the bladder up.  Do a google on kegels and how to's, Drink less caffine, and go see your doctor.  It's really not that big of a deal and your husband would be a jerk if he said anything about it, especially if you have carried HIS children that possibly helped to cause this.  Good luck sweetie.

I had never had them before last year and  I feel for you as they are the most painful things I have ever had, its not just the pain but the nausea, cramping and everything else that goes along with them that makes them so difficult to handle. Anyway, I was told that there is no way to stop them from reoccuring except for taking the prescribed medication Urocit-K which dissolves them. I have tried to find herbal remedies or alternative remedies etc but have not had any success. My doc told me that once you get them you will always get them...but in saying that you need to see a doctor so that he can determine which kind you have and how they will need to be treated...one thing that I keep seeing over and over though is that you should drink plenty of water and a glass of lemonade everyday and avoid getting dehydrated....hope this helps, good luck.

Yes, i actually tried that the other day. My BF said that it felt weird but it didnt intensify it or anything. He also tried it on me and it didnt do anything.

Take anti-inflammatory tablets like ibuprofen regularly. Stronger painkillers like codeine are pretty good as well. If you have really bad period pains, see your doctor, who can put you on mefenamic acid which is very effective in reducing both pain and bleeding. You could also consider going on the contraceptive pill, which tends to make periods lighter and less painful. \n\nOther, less chemical suggestions, would be to try to do some gentle exercise - I know it's the last thing you feel like doing, but it really does help. Heat pads, hot water bottles etc can be helpful as well, as can a hot bath. \n\nOne last suggestion........I've heard ;) that masturbating can really help with period pains!

Mentally?  Maybe a little but it will pass.  Physically?  Depends on if you are nervous, you will hold the muscles tighter it might hurt at first.  so get yourself or he can get you real relaxed and lubricated.  start drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day to help with dryness that ids sometimes due to age and hormones.  This will make your vagina more easily lubricated naturally.  Of coarse the BIG last element is will he be rough or go too fast or if he is large or extra large it will hurt so much foreplay is needed. Have some oral sex, first him a little, then you a lot!  It will help to slow things down some to give you time to lubricate naturally.  So things aren’t forced and you don't react and tighten up the pubic and vaginal muscles.  If you do it might hurt, a bit until they loosen up some.I had a problem with this same thing.  This really works.  especially adding the water to your diet as soon as possible. you will feel moist, ready and young again.

I wouldnt experiment with natural remedies for this particular problem.  Please see your gynecologist.

I have the same problem. My doc suggested keeping KY liquid handy (and even gave me a sample bottle). He also suggested astro glide (even though most people say it's for anal sex I find it's nice for vaginal). He said the reason why it is dry one day and wet the next has a lot to do with how you are feeling- if you have a head ache or are tired or aren't as into it as before. He didn't give me a medical explanation though.

there are many options but still have some side effects. you can also use iud, or natural family planning methods. you can ask your gyne for birth control that may suits you and your hubby.\n\nsee this site for more info: http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/index.htm\n\ncongrats!

try using the slender or the lite ones sometimes they have ones for teens.  make sure you use ones that have a plastic applicator.  I find that only tampax compacts work for me but the problem with those are that you can't buy the lites separately they only come in the multipak.\ntampax pearls are okay too, they too have the plastic applicator. look at the package insert for instructions, they also have diagrams too, that would be the most help\ndefinitely do NOT keep trying and trying... just make sure you get it in far enough or else you'll still feel it\nif you keep trying it will begin to get dry in there and feel really painful\nif you've done it wrong, take it out and put a pad on and try again later.\ndon't try it when you're not on your period, it really helps if you try it when your flow is heavier\nif you're having difficulties, make sure you're relaxed and you can even put a bit of lubricant on the tampon if necessary \nI'd get the tampax compact multi-pak and start out by using the lites and then try the regular, discard the supers though (that's what I do all the time, well not throw them out, just give it to a friend or something).  I've had a lot of discomfort trying out different tampons too.  You just have to find the right one for you.

Talk more about that TOGETHER and try to get a solution TOGETHER.  A possible idea is trying to give as much possible pleasure to your partner before inserting it, and then proceed as usual.

Yeah, my period was heavier when I was on Provera.  I hated it!  I stopped getting it, I'm now on Mirena.  It's so great!  : )

Go to the Dr asap and rule out perforation of IUD

i get the feeling that you guys are more or less just diving right in. you need to spend a bit of time stretching yourself to properly and comfortably take him. the first time is likely going to sting a little, as there is some tissue damage when he takes your cherry, but the pain fades quickly (or so i am told) tell your fiance that you need to get warmed up first, use fingers, toys, whatever is comfortable to gradually stretch out. also, make sure you're turned on, since the natural lubricants released by your body are the best. have him try some oral play if you can, since the saliva will also help keep you lubricated. if you stil feel you need more lubrication, ensure it is a water based lube. if none of my advice works, talk to a doctor, it may be that (s)he can give better advice.

Pain is the body's response to a physical condition, and your body is telling you that you need to slow down on it.  Tell you bf that your feeling pain, and, if he really loves you, he will understand, and be willing to do it with more moderation.  \n\nI would also recommend you see a gynecologist, to make sure there has not been any severe damage to your vaginal area.

try man on top and tell him to go slow! when it hurts, speak up. \n\ndo you use tampons? probably not. they hurt first couple times. Try using tampons on your next period. \ni know this is different but they are related. in the shower you may want to practice "that" feeling and insert your index finger as far in your tunnel as you can. it hurts but it will help you prepare better. \n\nrelax and go with the flow. when you tense up every muscle tenses up include down-there muscles. Always remember to speak up b/c good communication is essencial!!! :)\n\nI'm still a virgin but know alot about sex, wierd? dont worry- waiting until marriage.....
