Almost every time I have sex with my boyfriend, i experience extreme abdominal cramps afterwards and sometimes even during. I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced this and has any solutions?

Members connected over the shared experience of painful cramping during or after sex, with many describing it as uncomfortable enough to strain intimate relationships for days afterward. Several members shared potential medical factors worth exploring with a doctor, including ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and a tilted uterus, while others found relief through hysterectomy or are considering procedures like ablation. A recurring theme was the importance of communication with partners, plenty of foreplay, experimentation with positions, and ensuring adequate natural lubrication to help reduce pain and nausea during intimacy.

Yup same here and when i went to my doctor i found out i have a tilted uterus. So if you haven't gotten a diagnosis yet ask your doctor to check that even though i pray you don't have that cause it makes having a child very difficult.

Endometriosis sufferers will be familiar with this issue.

I recently got married and have been having sex often and we found that my body has to have a LOT of foreplay and if I ain't super wet it will hurt and make me nauseous. He also has to be in certain angles or it hurts as well. We have had a lot of trial and error.
