I had sex two nights ago for the first time in.... oh, about seven months. I was expecting some pain, but it was ridiculous. During sex I really was not in pain. Immediately after I felt like I had extreme cramps all around my pubic bone, if that makes sense. They made me feel like I had to pee. I also had a bit of spotting, which stopped pretty quickly, so I'm not worried about that. But the crampy pain was pretty extreme right after sex. We went to sleep and I relaxed enough to fall asleep, but I had weird cramps all day yesterday, an odd kind of pain in my stomach, and even today it hurts a bit.
A friend of mine suggested that he was hitting my cervix while we were having sex, but I'd always heard that when that happens, you're in some pain during sex and it stops about 10 minutes afterwards. Is it possible that he was actually hitting my cervix and, for some reason, the pain just is not going away?
It’s totally possible that you were bumping your cervix during penetration. (Wonder where the cervix is? Click on the image to your left.) It’s also possible that because you have not had sex in a while - your body (cervix, muscles, urethra) was waking up to penitrative sensations and found it to be jarring.
You should also know that about a week or so before your period (when you are ovulating) your cervix drops down a bit and can be more sensitive. It's most likely during this time of the month that you would feel a stabbing pain (deep in your vagina and under your pubic bone) during penetration and possibly experience cramping after sex. It’s all relative to your body and the shape, size and force of thrust of your partner or toy. Some women even report that it is at this time that they really like deep penetration and the sensation of having their cervix bumped. Every body is different.
If I were you I would make an appointment with your gynecologist for a pap smear and pelvic check up just to check for inflammation. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to cervical health.
