Hi - This is no doubt hormonal. Your body thinks you have a baby sucking on your breasts, and so tries to respond with milk. Whoops - nothing there - thus the pain/burning. It could also simply be that, since your nipples are very sensitive, he may have been a bit too rough, and irritated them. At any rate, if the pain/burning continues way beyond sex, then at some point see a doctor to find out what's up. I'm betting, though, that this will diminish fairly quickly. Good luck - PJH

thank you very much, thats good too know, i was also thinking it may have something too do with my late pregnancy,  also this morning i did take the ECP, would that have anything too do with the burning? - also they are very sensitive too touch.  but it would make sense that my body has gotten confused with the baby thing - thanks
