I know four women road riders that have switched to and LOVE their Terry Butterfly saddles.

Pick up and read "Zinn's Cycling Primer" by Zinn Part I Block 2. Your seat might be fine (and your saddle too...in Groucho Marx voice) but the seat might need to move forward or aft to get the ischial tuberosities (the sit bones) to the proper spot on the saddle.
