Im new here, and even though I had sex like 7-8 times Im still new to it. Well I don't know what to do, it seems that everytime I engage into sex with my boyfriend, I get irritated down on my vagina or something happens like a yeast infection (not sure if its because of sex or not since I only had it twice). The first time when we did it we used a condom, then after that we stopped because I was on birth control myself. (the condoms was a back up.)
The rest of the times we have sex, I would sometimes get sore and swollen. I mean I get turned on but maybe my body doesn't produce enough lubricant. We had sex about 5 more times before we decided to go back on using condoms. The 6th time we used a condom which was, Trojan-Enz and it was lubricated, I had no problems whatsoever just the same old being sore. The 7th time same thing, now this time Im really sore and it looks like its irritated down there. And on top of it all, I can't seem to orgasm at all.
Could it be an irritation due to the latex, lubricant, something? Because Im starting to feel like I just don't want to have sex anymore, if Im just going to have one problem after another....:(
It can be from the latex condoms try the poly ones instead, many times latex causes severe irritation. Also, add a lubricant from a bottle not just lubricated condoms. The best solution is a spermicidal lubricant since it serves as a back up to the condom. I am assuming you & your partner have also been checked for STD's.

My doctor thought I had got clamidiya (sorry if its spelled wrong) from my boyfriend, but the tests were negative for them and told me that I just had a plain yeast infection. This was about two months ago. Im not sure if I can use an lubricant such as KY since I think it was the cause of my 2nd yeast infection. I must have a million problems wrong with my body.

If you have had a yeast infection be certain you get re-checked to ensure it's gone & take your partner with you since he may also have it. Try to decrease the amount of sugars in your diet this may help. You are not abnormal, it seems when they begin you get a run on them! I rarely have had them but when they happen it takes a long time to really cure it. Diflucan (the pink pill) is good but it only treats one type of yeast not four. The suppositories are the best although they are annoying. Try the OTC yeast meds (Monostat) that should be fine. Or just call your doc & if you have a documented history they will call in the RX for the others.
Testing for Chlamydia is normal and good practice! Many can be asymptomatic with occasional flare ups. I had to do the same, I nearly died laughing since I had been checked & had not been involved with ANYONE!
Do not use a sugar lube, just a water based. Also some are allergic or have mild reactions to glycerin. Read the labels well. KY (the plain type) and surgilube work well, the reason docs use it for exams. If the issue continues and the doc rules out yeast, perhaps go back on the pill? But remember they do not protect against STD's.
I've been on the pill since I was 15, treating my horrible cramps and acne. I will do what you advise and speak to the doctor. I just lost so much confidence since this has never happened to me before. Its just so frustrating, and enough to put me off from sex for a long long time. But thanks for the advice, I really needed someone to talk to lol. Just incase mind if I leave you a message or talk more?

Feel free to drop me a PM anytime you wish. I usually respond quick. Also, women on BCP's are at higher risk for yeast infections. Add some Yogurt or Acidophilus to your diet!
