If you purchased your Terry saddle direct from Terry, they have an exchange policy. This enables riders to keep experimenting with different saddles until the best one is found.
When I purchased my tandem about 9 years ago I went through 7 different saddles until I found the best one for my anatomy.
But when I start a riding season I keep the old Spenco saddle pad packed it the rack pack. That pad is about 20 years old. It has saved my backside on many rides over the years.

Get a Brooks leather saddle – the are classics that bike tour riders swear by and so do I as a bike commuter and a couple centuries per year. They may be deceiving because they appear to be hard leather but they form to you over time and they are the best!

You can get them at many good bike shops or on-line. I actually found decent prices on ebay for new ones.

It’s hard to suggest a saddle everyone is different, sometimes narrower is better. You can play with the adjustments seat tilt etc. Have you tried cycling shorts ?

if you haven;t been riding long, it may a matter of butt conditioning
that is, possibly no saddle is going to work until the thing gets ‘calloused’
or it could be adjustment
is the pointy part parallel to the ground?
under no circumstances should it be pointing up [tilted back]

terry saddles are supposed to be pretty good, designed for women and all that

i’d be surprised if it;s the saddle per se..
