Pains in pelvic area during intercourse - 3 months postpartum?

I had my baby three months ago. My husband and I resumed sexual activity at about 8 weeks postpartum and things had been fine, but just recently I have been getting pains in what feels like my uterus during intercourse. What could this be? I have recently stopped breastfeeding. Could it have something to do with my changing hormones? My menstrual cycle has not yet returned. Anyone else have this happen to them?

If Sex Hurts
Some common reasons that lovemaking might be uncomfortable for moms By Arricca Sansone

It's hard enough for parents to find time for sex, so it's disappointing when it's painful. Some common reasons that lovemaking might be uncomfortable for moms, from Laura Berman, Ph.D., coauthor of The Passion Prescription: Ten Weeks to Your Best Sex 鈥?Ever!

Tearing and scarring
Even if you're past the six-week postdelivery, no-sex period, episiotomy scars may still not have healed completely.

What to do: Be honest with your doctor about how much pain you're having. It can take as long as a year for the tender tissues around the perineum (the area cut during an episiotomy) to heal entirely after childbirth. Scar tissue can also cause pain during sex but can be treated by topical medications, therapy, or exercises.

Dryness
Estrogen levels, which help keep you lubricated during sex, often drop when you're breastfeeding and may not return to normal until six months after you stop. Oral contraceptives can have a similar effect.

What to do: Use an over-the-counter lubricant. If you're on the Pill, talk to your doctor about changing to another brand or method of birth control.

Irritation
An infection can cause an itchy or sandpapery feeling during urination or sex, vaginal redness, or a cottage cheese鈥搇ike discharge.

What to do: See your doctor right away: It could be a yeast infection. If so, he'll prescribe a topical cream or pill or suggest an over-the-counter treatment. Or it could be bacterial vaginosis, which is usually treated with antibiotics.

Pelvic pain
Deep pelvic or lower-back pain during sex could be due to fibroids (noncancerous uterine growths), an ovarian cyst, or endometriosis (uterine tissue growing outside the uterus).

What to do: See your doctor. Once he diagnoses the problem, he'll suggest treatment. For example,the Pill can slow down endometriosis, and uterine artery embolization (a minimally invasive procedure) treats fibroids. Or he may simply advise physical therapy and/or exercises.

postpartum. you just had a baby,
It's fairly common but ask the doctor next time you see him/her or call and ask.
When a woman is pregnant, certain of the changes that occur in her body include relaxation of the ligaments surrounding the pelvic bones. Once the baby is delivered these gradually return to normal, over the period of several months to a year. It's possible that during this process the pubic symphysis joint has become misaligned.

Do you have pain or discomfort when lifting one leg (e.g. climbing stairs, getting in or out of a car)? Is there pain or discomfort when you press down on your pubis?

If so, I would suggest seeing a chiropractor for an assessment.
I've heard that your body doesn't go back to normal until you stop breastfeeding. Since you've just stopped, my guess is that your uterus is returning to normal size still. This is prime time to get pregnant so be careful :) I think your fine but i would mention it to your doctor. Uterine cysts can cause pain during intercourse, i get these sometimes-they go away on there own but some people have to get them removed.
