I'm 18 have have been sexually active for almost a year now. In January I started taking the pill, as well as started having unprotected sex; still using other contraceptive methods. Shorting after I started having a sharp, intolerable pain during intercourse. After a while we realized if we went slow and 'stretched out' we could have enjoyable sex however every single time it is painful at the beginning. I've done a lot of research and I haven't found it as a symptom linked with either STI's or the pill. Does anyone have any information or tips?
