I have been having pain during intercourse for 6 1/2 years, the entire time we have been married. I have talked to two different people about it, a doctor and nurse practitioner. I think the pain is because I am expecting it to be painful, so I tense my body up, making penetration very difficult.

I am not on any anti-depressants. I am on an insulin pump for Type 1 diabetes, and I take Ortho-tricyclen. I didn't take the BC for two years and there was no changes in the pain.
