Pelvic Pain & Fertility Concerns: Seeking Information

Question
HI, I AM 29 YRS OLD.  MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW AFTER BEING ON BIRTH CONTROL FOR 11 YRS. I AM CURRENTLY ON MY PERIOD AND MY CYCLES RANGE FROM 24-26 DAYS. WE BOTH HAVE ONLY BEEN WITH EACH OTHER.  I HAD MY YEARLY CHECKUP WITH MY OB/GYN THIS PAST JANUARY AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OKAY.  MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER DIED OF OVARIAN CANCER 4 YRS. AGO AT THE AGE OF 59. ANYWAY, THIS MONTH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LAST 4-5 TIMES THAT WHEN I HAVE A ORGASM, I HAVE LOWER RIGHT SIDE PELVIC PAIN JUST ABOVE THE PUBIC HAIR AREA.  ITS KINDA LIKE THE MUSCLE(S) ARE CONTRACTING OR SOMETHING.  IT FEELS LIKE A SHARP BUT DULL CRAMPING PAIN THAT LAST ONLY WHILE HAVING A ORGASM THEN IT GOES AWAY.  HAVING INTERCOURSE DOES NOT HURT AT ALL. ANY IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE?  IS IT HORMONE RELATED?  COULD IT HURT OR LOWER OUR CHANCES OF CONCEIVING? SHOULD I HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT BY MY OB/GYN?  JUST A LITTLE CONCERNED SINCE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PAIN BEFORE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Answer
The pain you are having during orgasm may be muscle spasm or contraction of the muscles. Very little is know of the mechanism of orgasm. As long as it does not hurt during inercourse, it will not interfere with the chances of conception.  If the pain persists, check it out with your gyn.
