OK: There is nothing wrong with you and your husband having sex.
I am sure he is very thoughtful of you and won't cause any pain. If that does happen he will be kind enough to stop but still love and comfort you.

Once decided, please consider both of you going to see a gynecologist.

Question 8

Question 9

Accepted Answer

You : You are likely unable to enjoy sex anymore since the focus has shifted from pleasure to solely trying to have a baby. Many women going through infertility experience this problem. You may want to seek out a therapist to help sort through your feelings and experiences and how they have affected your marriage and sex life.
All the best.
