You are not alone. One in three women doesn’t have orgasms during sex with a partner. This can be because the clitoris (which is the most sensitive part of a woman’s genitals) isn’t always stimulated during vaginal sex. Touching this part of the body, either with hands, a sex toy or through oral sex, is actually what helps most women have orgasms. You can do this instead of vaginal sex or before, during or after penetration.
Here are a few other things you can do:
Change position. Not all positions work for all couples.
Teach yourself to orgasm through masturbation. Show your partner what you like.
Start with a lot of foreplay to get you aroused.
Try to relax. Anxiety/stress makes the situation worse.
Sex is more than (just) penetration, it's mental and emotional as well as physical. If things don't seem to improve, try talking with your doctor. Find a new doctor if your current doctor dismisses your situation, again. You need a doctor that will take you seriously and help you.
