Is there REALLY nothing wrong with me?

Last year, during August, my period had been a couple of weeks late. During the last week of August, I was masturbating and noticed if I stuck my finger up far enough I could feel this strange mass on the upper wall. It almost felt like there was something above my vaginal wall that was pushing into my vagina a bit. Later that day I started my period.

Before, my vaginal walls always seemed like they had no blockage and that it just ran clear upward with no interupptions. As the time has gone on, if I merely push on it it doesn't feel like much, but pushing it upward to go underneath it (ie during sexual intercourse) I feel pressure.

A couple of weeks after I discovered this I went to the gynecologist and she said that my cervix appeared perfectly normal. I wanted a second opinion and went to another gyno. She said that she felt what I was talking about but that she would schedule me for an ultra sound. What was shady to me about it is that she said nothing was wrong about it but couldn't seem to explain what it was other than maybe it was just further development (I'm a teenager). Okay, then why have I never heard of this before?

I got the ultra sound and they sent it back to her to have her look at it, and she said everything looked normal. I'm glad that it seems normal to them, but it still doesn't to me. If it didn't cause me any discomfort, I would stop thinking about it, but during sex it does sometimes. Not a lot, I can still enjoy sex, but I still notice it. Anyone have any clue as to what this might be?

maybe you have a really sensitive cervix? What I think youre describing is your cervix, and it sounds like you and I have the same issue. For guys that are better endowed, its easier for them to hit your cervix with their penis. Doing doggy style is pretty painful for me at times, but not always. Usually when I am ovulating. It sounds to me that your fine and that your just a little sensitive. Hope it helped you a little bit:)

Thanks, it helps to know that I'm not the only one:) It hurts me a little bit to do it doggy style too:(

One reason why you may never have noticed it before is because your uterus and cervix shift slightly during different parts of your cycle. During most of the month your cervix may sit high enough that you can't reach it with your fingers (I usually can't reach mine, but I have hilariously short fingers), but it shifts and lowers in preparation for ovulation and menstruation. It makes the trip a little shorter for menstrual blood and spermies :)

Some women who have pain during deep penetration may actually have a tilted uterus, which would cause your cervix to sit at an angle where it is more in the way during intercourse. There are ways around the pain - you just have to experiment with positions and let your guy know if you're hurting. And really, a tilted uterus is nothing serious. As far as I know, it doesn't cause any complication during pregnancy or childbirth. I'm not the most authoritative on the subject, but my friend (who is a lesbian - lucky for her!) said her gynecologist pointed out that her uterus is tilted, and it struck me that this could be what you're feeling. Although, I'm not sure why two different gynecologists would've checked you out and not noticed it if it were tilted. You could maybe ask about it specifically next time you go in, but it's probably nothing to worry about :)

Yeah. I guess the only reason I was confused was because I had never felt it before but now I can always reach it... and I'm pretty sure my fingers didn't grow in the span of a week. haha

I'll probably ask whichever once I choose to go back to, since it is almost time for my yearly check up! Joy!... Though my pap smear (and it was my first) didn't hurt at all. That was nice.
