   It turns out, it just needed some dedication to the cause     I'm not sure what the cause was/is, but it's gradually coming right.  
 Thanks so much everyone for your feedback - I really appreciate(d) it!

   LOL @ "dedication to the cause" that is SUCH a brilliant way to put it!! 
On a more serious note, good that it is coming right. Something that is often a problem which I forgot to mention is that it is natural after childbirth for down there to tighten up because with normal birth it has to... When you have a c-section your body still "tightens up" even though Bubs has not actually gone through the birth canal.....IYKWIM? Also a common thing also to happen is a lack of self lubrication...

   Oh god, I am petrified now! Not that I have any desire to be getting busy right now, I certainly will be making sure I have some lube handy before we go down that road again.

   I remember asking my MW at 2 weeks when I could BD again and she looked suprised to say the least lol! I think we did it at 4 weeks as per MW instructions and it was fine although a bit tight and definitely needed the lube.
 ETA: To clarify the MW instructions related to the timeframe not the actual act lol

   I was told by the docs to wait 6 months PP until DH and I even attempt to BD, due to the horrid recovery I had during thr first 6 weeks PP.
 We did try it once at 4 months PP, and it too sore. We didn't even do the whole hog, and I couldn't believe how tight everything was, even though we used a tonne of lubrication. And I think all of the oxytocin that whizzes around your body when you are breastfeeding desensitises everything down there    |

   It wasnt too bad, was armed with plenty of lube. It did hurt, but I was prepared for that.
 I think after a few more rounds we should be back to normal.
