Why Does Intercourse Hurt While Being On Depo? Posted: 11-29-06 10:23am
I've been on the depo for 3 months now
(1st shot only). I just called and
canceled my next appointment to get the
2nd shot. It's just not for me.
^-^ I am one of those statistics that is
having problems with it. Other than the
other side effects I have posted before, I
am the most concerned about this one. I
am too nervous to even ask the
professionals while they are talking to me
in the room! When my boyfriend and I
have intercourse, I feel intense burning
pain inside of me. Not really burning I
guess. It's more like friction. If I am
laying on my back, it would toward the top
of me. In alignment with my clitorus. We
always use condoms and enough lubercant.
I with held from any sexual interaction
from him for a month. The poor guy. It
hurts me too. I can't enjoy it anytime we
have intercourse; it just hurts. I'm not
sure is anyone else has had this problem
or not. I have a feeling it is from my
cervex tightening up from the hormones,
but that is just a guess of mine. Before,
when I was not on the depo shot, we had
sex fine. Never on or just before my
period because it hurt. *sigh* if
anyone can give me some answers, it would
be very helpful. I called and canceled.
I am getting off bc for now. Too scared
to try the pill or the patch in fear that
it will have the same effects.

Nope, that is one of the wonderful side
affects of depo.
Depo like side affects are not common on
birth control pills.

Depo can cause many women to have vaginal
dryness, and thus they will have more
painful sex and less elastic vagina..
