Hi!
I'm not sure where to start! Intercourse is often uncomfortable for the first several times. It is often due to a mismatch in arousal rates. In other wordes, he gets aroused much more quickly and sex begins before she is quite ready. Two things to try: More foreplay, and female dominant position (woman on top). At least its a place to start!
As for birth control, you are going to need something, or you will almost certainly be pregnant within a year! Every method has advantages and disadvantages. From all that you mention, pills actually sound like the best option for you. If you were my patient, I would recommend that you give them a little more time -- at least 3 months before you quit. Also, remember the morning after pill -- Plan B.
Good luck!

Also, I am very well lubricated and not allergic to condoms.
I forgot to mention that I did not tell my gynecologist that intercourse was painful for me because I thought the first few times would hurt anyway. I have done it 6 times now and everytime it was painful. My pelvic exam was about a month ago. The doctor said everything looked fine, but she did mention that I have a very small uterus. During, intercourse it feels like he may be hitting my uterus when he goes deep, and it also hurts when he penetrates and thrusts around the area he enters. Sorry for too much info. I'm just confused. I don't think this is normal.
