My youngest son is 21 months old. Ever since he's been born, I sometimes have a pain my lower belly, a little to my right. Especially after intercourse. I went to a doctor and they did a physical and something that looked kinda like a sonogram. No infections, nothing they could see. I just blew it off and went on. It's gotten better, but still there. (Dude, it's been almost 2 years). Lately after sex, I'm hurting a lot now, kinda like a bladder pain. I've gone to a different obgyn and had a physical, they've checked for infections and all that, and nothing. But seriously. Hurting really bad today. What the heck??? Does anyone have any thoughts since the doctors don't seem to???

If you had a c-section it could be caused by adhesions or scar tissue, especially if you have had more than one section. There are some places that do deep tissue massage to break up scar tissue. Otherwise it sounds like a fibroid or something but that would usually be checked out on ultrasound. Hope you get some relief!
What birth control are you using? I had an IUD and I was experiencing pain after sex. I had two exams and an ultrasound and they said it was in the right place, nothing wrong, etc. I finally asked them to take it out even though they said it wasn't causing the problem and the pain went away.
Did they specifically check for a prolapsed uterus or bladder? You might want to look that up and see if it fits your symptoms at all. If you had a vaginal birth, your risk is higher than if you've had a c-section. If you had a vaginal birth and an episiotomy, the risk is even higher. Add on a big baby being born...risk even bigger. But then there are some rare women who get it who have never had kids. It's not always really obvious unless the dr is specifically looking for it.
maybe a cyst but I can't imagine that no doctor has figured this out. It is pretty common to get cyst's once a month. It hurts me too, I just hold my hand between he and I and don't let him press too hard on or into me. sometimes different positions help. I would talk to the doc about cysts, odd you would have to tell THEM what you might have.....maybe some other moms have better advice. Hope you figure it out...
Did they do an ultrasounds of your ovaries?
Are you having any other bowel issues which can also be around that area and need to be ruled out as well.
Ack, can't remember what it is called but it is caused by a weak pelvic floor. Try doing Kegels every time you think about it and see if it helps. Worse case you end up with one buff pelvic floor. :)
