Hi,
The more accurate answer might have possible if you have mentioned your age, obstetrical history, etc. According to your description the possible causes are:
- Decreased estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness and dyspareunia, pain during intercourse
- Stress and strain, fear of intercourse can also lead to dyspareunia
- Pelvic infection, etc.
So, better to get examined once. By clinical examination the possible cause of your problem can be identified. Sometimes a simple lubricant jelly can help in relieving the problem. In case of infection you may need local and systemic antibiotics. The possibility of pregnancy cannot be commented according to this, you need to undergo urine or blood test for pregnancy, if you miss your expected periods, to rule out the possibility.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
