I experience that occasionally as well, Grace. With certain positions, I do. I observed closely, and I found out this:

1. I have a retroverted uterus
2. Not drinking enough water and not eating good fiber to fuel my metabolism (bowel
movement is not good)
3. Sometimes its cycle - related
4. Really, just certain positions

Try to list your "suspicions"/symptoms and then deduct from there.

Hm I get pains sometimes aswell. I reckon it's a different thing, but I did go to doctor and she told me to keep track of the pains like what date they occur, what position and so on then go back to her after a while.
I just cancelled my appointment cause I cannot afford it, but the track keeping was to find out if it's something to do with the menstrual cycle.

I found out that mine was. Although I have problems with my stomach and bowels so it could have been that aswell.

But anyway, i used to get pains like, it felt like my partner hit the cervix or the wall of vagina and it hurt and that would cause tummy aches. Mine lasted after sex aswell, sometimes for a couple of days.

Doctor said if it's cycle related then it's just that I think during ovulation it's a bit more tender around that area and sex might feel uncomfortable or painful. She also said nothing can be done about that, just told me to take a painkiller about an hour before sex.

Oh wow, I never thought of ovulation. That could very well be it! I wish I could go to the doctor and ask, but I don't have health insurance and can't afford to spend a fortune. The pain is right around where my appendix is. But I am not afraid it's my appendix because I don't have pain there at all when I'm not having sex. Maybe it's something with my right ovary. The left always stays fine.

When is the most likely time a woman is ovulating, anyways?

hmmm...oh the joys of being a woman! :-)

i was just wondering if it was a positional issue. like do you still have the pain when you are on your side.

I get the same pain especially during missionary and on top sometime I have found that it occurs about the time of ovulation (well that's when it is worse) i have been to the doctors and I have policystic ovaries ( about 12 cyst on my right ovary and that my right ovary is also undersized compared to the left. I have an appointment in a month with the gyno to see what the treatment options are!!
I hope this helps
