My experience with saddles.. you'll know within a few rides if things are getting better, or not... I went through a few myself, where they initially felt a lot better, but then not so much... as if the new issues each one created took a little while to reveal themselves.. but I knew within 3 or 4 rides that they were NOT the right saddle for me, I really didn't spend a long time wondering. Once I found the "right" saddle for me, I was totally comfortable after about a week, but I had no more soft tissue issues..

It's normal to be slightly sore at first.. especially when you are relatively new to cycling. I went through a few weeks of it a couple of months ago... but it should get better. Since I found a saddle that works for me, I don't have any pain/discomfort no matter how long I'm on the bike (so far, I'm still not doing super long distances, my longest ride so far was just short of 20 miles).
