Hi Liz,
I totally sympathize with you. I've had the same problem for about 4
years and didn't know it was endo - I just thought something was wrong
with me. I generally end up in tears everytime my boyfriend and I try.
Its so heartbreaking because you want to be able to share that with the
person you love and you can't.
I've gotten some advice from this forum and that was to try different
positions. I would recommend the same thing. Usually, being on top is
better so that you can control the depth so that its not too painful.
Hope this helps.
Rosa
