I rode when i was little all the time. When my store bought huffy wasn't good anymore i gave it up. I then started dating a guy who wanted to do some more outdoorsy stuff, so I had bought a giant. But he was all talk and i hardly used it. This year I will finally have time to bike, so to prepare I bought a new bike, a gary fisher (my ex stole my giant), an indoor trainer, and now that my dog is full grown a "walky dog" (it attaches to the bike so i can exercise her while riding).
But i'm having a problem. My "back end" is not adjusting well to the gary fisher. I have to ride upright no handed on my indoor trainer other wise the seat kills me.
Will i adjust? I know it takes some time, but it's been about a month. Mind you I have been riding only 2-3 x a week because of my schedule this semester. I'm kind of scared i got an ill fitting bike.
 
You need to invest ASAP in a so called Ladies seat. Available in most respectable bike shops...or they order it.
 
If you were not previously fit to the bikes frame when you originally bought the bike then that may be your biggest problem but other than that the fitting in the store is only about 5% of what you need overall. As you ride the bike you too will have to do the other 95% of adjustments as you ride....get a multi tool and make small adjustments to the seat height and fore and aft positioning of the seat to find what feels good. you may need a longer stem or raise the stem up a bit but these are all adjustments that YOU can make in small increments to get the feel that you require. Try angling the front of the seat down about a degree or two, that may make a difference for you too!
