Are you taking birth control pills at this time? After the birth of my first child I was taking progesterone only bc pills because I was breastfeeding. The pills really caused me to feel dry. The only solution we could find was using a really good lubricant. Once I stopped the pills, the situation resolved itself.

Good luck - Tamara
