Dryness down there

Hi everybody. I'm new here. I want to ask the women out there if anyone in the situation I am. First a short background of me. I'm 22yo. Recently married, about 8mos. My husband does not want me to work right now because he wants a baby. I do to. It's fine if I stay at home as housewife.

I'm from a conservative family from the country. I moved nearer to the city because it's nearer my husbands workplace. Discussions of intercourse and the likes, are not normal where I grew up. I still get embarassed when talking about these things.

Now the reason I am here is to ask you. I'm quite dry down there when making love to my husband. All the time. He does not rush, he does foreplay to me. Still I don't get much wetness for proper lubrication. We have trouble inserting his thing into me. It is sometimes painful. He is traditional too so we don't use aritificial lubrication. The thought is repulsive to him.

Will this lessen my chance of having a baby? Is dryness an indication of anything that I am not meant to have a child?

Dryness of the vagina is often caused by lack of the female hormone called estrogen. Estrogen, as you may not know, plays an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

With this in mind I advise you to visit a doctor.

Let me add that there is nothing to be embarrassed about a woman's body dear, most especially yours. Feel good about yourself. Discussions about intercourse and the likes, such as this one, is normal. Yours is done within marriage. How about those outside of it? I'm not really into these moral issues stuff but if it makes you feel better, know that you haven't done anything wrong.
