Brief Answer:
Could be a possible infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Mild pain and discomfort is common during intercourse, particularly when a woman is around the ovulatory / pre menstrual phase.
But excessive pain that interferes with sex, all the time, is not normal.
Does she have any itching / redness / foul smelling discharge / tenderness ?
Then this could point to some kind of infection.
She should have an internal evaluation by a gynecologist.
That would include - internal exam, Pap smear, pelvic ultrasound scan and swabbing and culture of any suspicious vaginal discharge.
Make sure that she drinks a lot of water, and always urinates after having sex.
Try being gentle with her and have a lot of foreplay so that she is properly lubricated.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
Remain active around time of ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Using the washroom after intercourse minimizes chances of pregnancy.
For getting pregnant, she can lie down with the knees drawn to the chest for 15 - 20 minutes after sex, and then use the washroom.
For pregnancy, it is best to remain sexually active around the days of ovulation.
IN a normal woman, ovulation occurs around day 14 of the cycle, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1.
SO , please remain sexually active from day 10 - day 20 of each cycle, if her periods are regular.
Ask her to take folic acid supplements 5 mg per day ( eg. Folvite ) daily for 3 months.
Wait for atleast 3 months after the first miscarriage before trying for a pregnancy again.
Ask her to exercise regularly, eat sensibly and remain stress free.
Take care.
