Has this ever happened to anyone else?
I use the cheapest brand but I don't think I've ever done this before. And weirdly - it's happened twice in the last week. First on one side, and then on the other.
I've had great fun trying to capture it on my phone camera but I can't see anything. I feel like it is either a tiny, tiny tear or a tiny blister.
At the back of my head I'm worried what if it is a herpes sore or something similar? I can't feel it tingling like a cold sore - but I don't know if that happens with genital herpes.
I do plan on getting a routine check after I finish my exams, but until then, is my toilet paper explanation actually plausible?
This is really embarrassing but every time I have to have any sort of pelvic exam my heart races and I get REALLY wet. 2 doctors have mentioned how wet I get. It is sooo humiliating. Also one doctor sent me for blood work because she was worried about my pulse being so high (112 bpm). I think I need to go to the dr. but I am having extreme anxiety about it. I am having mid-cycle cramps and abdominal pain and stools that are really long and thin and bloating. I know I have a super-retroverted uterus. It's been going on a couple days, though it has happened in the past. I am worried about some obstruction either from my uterus or in my colon. My mom had aggressive uterine and colon cancer (she is ok now after 3 surgeries and chemo/radiation). When I was younger I had a really traumatic experience at the doctors and I think it is the cause of my nervousness/excitedness. I hesitate to call it excitement but I can't control it. I think it is because of my traumatic experience (( Read more...Collapse )). I feel like this experience has messed with my head and my ability to have normal doctors interactions. I am really stressed out right now and i think it is making my stomach hurt more. any advice? any similar experiences? I am so humiliated by this.
It hasn't been much of an issue before, as my first partner was very young and had only been with a couple of girls, and the next one was a close friend first, so we'd already had conversations about our sex/dating history, but now I'm 29 and finding it very hard to be back on the dating game. There seems to be even more of a hookup/casual sex culture now than ever before, and most men I know have had quite a lot of partners and different experiences.
My question is, how do you broach the topic of sexual history and STIs without causing offence? I'm very stressed at the moment because I gave a guy I'd basically just met unprotected oral and it occurred to me later that I had absolutely no idea how many people he's been with (I know for sure he's had casual sex and obviously that's what we were doing!) his attitude towards protection, whether he's ever been with a sex worker...the right thing for me and my anxiety would been to have waited and had these conversations BEFORE sexual activity (lesson well and truly learned for next time). We're still in contact with plans to meet up and I think he wants to keep seeing me but now we've already done stuff, I think any revelations about past stuff might stress me out even more.
I am going for a sexual health check-up next week and have already been referred for counselling for what my doctor perceives to be over-anxiety relating to sex/sexual health but how can I deal with this in a practical way?
Hey! Quick question about pregancy tests, I currently on Levlen (the pill) and use condoms too, I also skip the white pills and usually only have a period once every 3 months - curious as to if skipping pills can effect the results of a pregnancy test? Rationally I know the chances of being pregnant are loooowww, but I'm horribly paranoid about being pregnant haha. Last few days my stomach has felt a bit "off" and paranoia is kicking in. I haven't caved and bought a test yet, I swear I get like this all the time :C
On birth control, was reading this web comic http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/implant/
Plus, how can you keep track of if your pregnant or not? I know for some people their periods stop completely, but while that's amazing, holy crap id be so scared of getting pregnant and not knowing. I'd love to get sterilized, but I know its not going to happen. Id love to hear some input from people that have had it/use it still etc.
Soooo ... can a person get pregnant on her second last day of her period?
But this is one I want a "YES" to ...
You see I was told I would never get pregnant ... I have PCOS and at the age of 35 just started to get regular periods. Last November 12 I got the phone call I never thought I would get ... "congrats, your pregnant" but then at 9 wks we discovered I had a stalled pregnancy and the fetus had not grown past 5.5 wks. My body was not rejecting the fetus so I had to go in for an emergency D&C on Dec 17th.
Needless to say myself and my SO and family were devastated.
We tried and tried and tried to get pregnant again, even using clomid but to no avail.
Well my SO and I split up, and he moved on ... except they had a fight two weeks ago today and he came running back to me. I was on my period, second to last day ... but we still had sex, twice.
Is there any chance, at all that I could get pregnant during this????
Even though my ex and I are no longer talking, I would still want this. I make enough money to do it on my own, and I would have a huge, huge family support from both his side and mine. Though I don't think he would be involved .... but he could prove me wrong there.
My stats are: cis female, single, 39 yrs of age, have lost 76lbs in the last 2 years (was 285 now 212 - 5' tall), been sexually active since 15, only one pregnancy, and only have had regular periods since 35 yrs of age.
So ... can anyone give me any advice?
Thank you in advance!
