My partner and I have been together for just over a year now, and he and I have been having sex basically our entire relationship. We've never had any problems until very recently.
We used condoms for birth control until about December when I went on the pill. For a month or so we used both condoms and my pill, until we knew I was adjusted to it, and then we stopped using condoms. About a month and a half ago I started feeling sharp pain right at the opening of my vagina after sex, which was more severe if I orgasmed while being penetrated. Once or twice when this happened I would bleed a little bit, which I attributed to not being lubed well enough or just general roughness. Since nothing is entirely consistent, I'm not sure what to do. The Mayo Clinic website basically says it's nothing to worry about, but I got a little freaked out because last night I bled more than I have any other time (but I'm probably also ovulating right now, so maybe that was it?). Also, I take my pill religiously and have been getting regular periods, so I'm not worried about pregnancy, and we're entirely monogamous, so STDs are out of the picture too.
I have my yearly gyno appt scheduled for August. Is it worth moving it up to get this checked out? Anyone have any experience with this?
