Either saddle is too high or tribars are too far in front of you, either way leading to you rocking/rolling in the saddle as you strain to reach them.

Plus the aero position does put more pressure on the clit area because you're in a more pelvis-rolled-forward position.

Defo just change one thing at a time. Put saddle back where it was, see if that's better. Try out over several short rides.

I am an ISM Adamo saddle fan (see my other post). Expensive but if you can get a free trial first, worth it.

Yes my bike was fitted to me and yes my saddle has a long slit... It actually fits pretty well..I am beginning to think that aerobars should only be put on a Tri bike. I guess there is a difference in road bikes and Tri bikes, am I correct in this... Maybe I should just ride without the bars...It is definitely uncomfortable to ride with them on...Thanks for your comments...

Road and tri bikes have very different geometry.

If you had your bike fitted using drop bars and have now added aero bars, it is likely your fit is now completely off. You will probably need to move your saddle forward accomodating appropriately for saddle height. You may need to reverse the seat post to do this and you may decide you need a different saddle for the purpose. You can always set up a seatpost/saddle combo that you swap out as necessary so you don't screw up the saddle position when you add/remove the aero bars.

Using a road bike this way can mean a lot of weight on the front of a road bike, so be careful with the handling. This is one of the reasons for tri-specific bikes - to balance your weight properly in this extreme forward position.
