Hi isyc007 – I’m so sorry to hear about this sudden onset pain! It sounds really frustrating and I’m glad that at least the infection has cleared up. I think there could definitely be a psychological factor where you anticipate pain so your vagina is tense, then it DOES feel pain, which just reinforces the cycle. Have you had any issues since this experience with vaginal dryness? That can be a side effect of medications and definitely can make insertion more uncomfortable, so that’s something to look into as well!
