will i keep my chlamydia if i nut in a condom within a week of treatment

As long as you correctly completed your treatment for the infection, the chlamydia should be cured.

I recently had my IVF transfer and I am 5 wks pregnant. I had painful cramps and some spotting so I had to go in for an ultrasound. During the vaginal ultrasound the condom that they put over the vaginal probe broke while in me. Can you catch any diseases from this? I don’t think they sterilize after every patient because I observe them during my visits. The Dr. said it was sterilized in a bleach solution, when I showed my concerns. But if it wasn’t is it likely to catch any infectious diseases? Also, if it was sterilized I saw a website that said those chemicals that might still be on the probe can cause damage to the fetus.

It is highly unlikely that you would be infected with any infections from the vaginal ultrasound probe. Since you had IVF, I assume you are being followed by a board certified obstetrician, and  being seen at an accredited hospital. Reputable hospitals, clinics and doctor’s offices follow strict guidelines for washing and sterilizing this type of equipment. Yes, they are sterilized between patients. Usually, new sterilizing agent (usually liquid) is used for each probe, then the probes are rinsed or wiped well. It is doubtful that any chemical would remain on the probe.

I understand your concern about your pregnancy and your desire to protect your baby. Continue to take good care of yourself and keep in touch with your doctor. Good luck!

one night my girlfriend gave me a hand job and she made me cum thet day and night we had sex for the first time but both times i didnt put my penis in her all the way ..did i brake her virjinity ? we didnt see blood either ? if in this case where i probably didnt brake her virjinity could she get pregnant if my pre-cum cam in her ??

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. It does not matter how far the penis went inside the vagina. It does not matter whether or not ejaculation occurred. There is some evidence that pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, which could result in pregnancy.

As for your partner’s virginity, that is an individual desicion. Many women do not bleed with their first intercourse, therefore it is not a good sign to confirm virginity. Some people think that any penile penetration of the vagina  is sex. Others may feel that ejaculation must occur to make it be “sex”.

If you and your partner are going to continue an intimate relationship, discuss your values, expectations and concerns, including who will be responsible for birth control. Discussing these things beforehand can make your relationship and sexual intimacy better.

i been on the shot for a week and the day it made two me and my boyfriend had sex and he enjaculated in me should i be worried

The DepoProvera injection is effective 24 hours after you receive it. It is effective for up to 13 weeks, at which time, you are due for another injection. If it was a week since you had your shot, you are protected from pregnancy. The Depo shot statistics states that it is 99.9% effective as long as you receive your shots on time.

my boyfriend ejaculated in me a couple days before im suppose to get my period. im on birth control could i be pregnant and how likely is it?

As long as you have been using your birth control method correctly and consistently, then pregnancy is very unlikely.

The Depo shot is effective within 24 hours after receiving the shot, and lasts for up to 13 weeks. The birth control pills, patch, ring are effective after 7 days of continuous use. If you are taking these methods correctly, you are covered during your period, just be sure to begin a new pack/ring/patch on time.

I was tested positive for Chlamydia. I took 4 pills all at the same time right after eating but threw up 1 hour later. It’s been 5 days and my vagina is really irritated red and itchy. And have now started my period, which is thick and dark. Is this normal?

If you threw up 1 hour after taking your pills, it probably was due to their effect. When the antibiotics are absorbed by the gut, this can cause nausea and sometimes vomiting. Most likely the antibiotics were still effective at treating the chlamydia.

Many women will develop vaginal yeast infections after taking antibiotics. Yeast infections typically cause the vaginal area to become red, irritated and itchy. Add the chemical changes of your menstrual period, and that can lead to a lot of irritation.

You may want to try an over-the-counter yeast medication like Monistat or Clotrimazole. These are vaginal medications are okay to use during your period, just don’t wear a tampon during this cycle.

If your irritation does not resolve after your period or after using the yeast medication, consider scheduling an appointment for an infection check.

I’ve been on the birth control pill for the last year or so, this month however i did not pick up my prescription, therefor i’m not on the pill this month. Last night, i had unprotected sex (he did not wear a condom) and he ejaculated inside me. Now this sounds exactly what one would do to get pregnant , having no contraceptives. My question, do i have to wait for my period to know for sure that i’m not pregnant? When can i take a pregnancy test?

Yes, the best way to know about a pregnancy would be to wait until your next period. Most pregnancy tests will not be positive until you are, at the earliest, about 4 weeks along.

An ovum (egg) is fertilized in the fallopian tube. It takes approximately 7-10 days for the fertilized egg to travel down the tube and into the uterus. There, it may take another 10-14 days to implant into the uterine lining. It is not until after the fertilized egg is well implanted in the uterus that one would be able to detect HcG (pregnancy hormone) in the urine. The pregnancy hormone level begins at low concentration in the urine, then becomes higher in the early months of pregnancy. This is why you can do a pregnancy test too early and obtain a false negative. The first morning urine is usually the best one to test, because it would be the most concentrated.

Keep in mind, though, that being without birth control pills is an adjustment for your body. Your next period may be earlier or later than…

me and my boyfriend had sex and he ejaculated in me. we didnt use a condom, but im on birth control. is there a chance i could be pregnant?

If you are correctly using a hormonal method of birth control (pill, patch, ring, shot, implanon, or mirena IUD), and you have been using it for at least seven days before the incident occurred, pregnancy is highly unlikely. When used perfectly, hormonal methods of birth control are over 99% effective. They work by preventing ovulation (the monthly release of an egg). Without an egg, there is nothing for the sperm to fertilize.

I am on normal 28 days birth control pills and forgot to take it for two consecutive days. I want to take the plan B pills to just make sure. if i take Plan B pills should I continue taking my birth control pills on it’s regular schedule?

Yes, take your regular birth control pills as scheduled. Also be sure to make up the two pills that you missed. The best way to do this is to take two pills a day until you are caught up, and then resume the one pill daily schedule.

Because you will have a large amount of hormones in your system, you can expect some menstrual irregularities (missed period, bleeding or spotting in between periods, lighter than normal period, etc.). You may also experience some breast tenderness, moodiness, fatigue, and nausea. Taking your pill on a full stomach should help with the nausea.

When I was put on Ortho Tricyclen, I was told that it would also help to clear my moderate acne. But it seems like my skin has only gotten worse! I’ve been on the pill for almost 3 months. I have no problems with it in the aspect of birth control. Is this a “worse before it gets better” scenario?

Yes, sometimes acne does become worse before it gets better with pill use. If you can hang in there, give it three more months. If your complexiondoes not start to improve by the fifth month, contact the provider who prescribed the pill for you. They may want to try a pill change.
