spotting after you have sex and the condom split & i had unpertect ted sex but he puulled out and 2 days later i notice 2 spots on my undewear please help me

A woman’s cycle is very individual and can be affected by several things. You may be having irregular spotting due to a hormonal imbalance. Everyday things like stress, illness, and a change in diet, exercise or sleep can cause this imbalance. It may cause irregular spotting, or cause your periods to come early, late or sometimes, not at all.

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. Some women may have spotting due to implantation of a pregnancy in the uterine lining. If your next period is more that 1 week late, do a pregnancy test, either at home in a clinic.

Spotting specifically and only after intercourse can be benign, meaning nothing is wrong. However, it could  be a sign of a vaginal infection, like bacterial vaginosis, yeast, or chlamydia. If the spotting continues, schedule an infection check. Family Planning clinics offer free STD screenings. Vaginal infection checks are offered at little to no cost depending on household size & income.

me and my boyfriend both got treated for chlamydia and had unprotected sex the same day and he also ejaculated in me. i have also missed four off my birth control pills.this happened thrusday we also had unprotected sex today and he also ejaculated in me. what are my chances

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the chance of pregnancy. If you missed 4 birth control pills, then you are not protected from pregnancy. If you are not planning to become pregnant, it would be wise to use a back-up method of birth control such as abstinence or condoms until your next period.

Treatment for chlamydia can take 3-5, possibly up to 7 days to be effective. This is why it is recommended to abstain from intercourse for 7-10 days after treatment.  If you and your partner were both treated, is is unlikely that you would reinfect each other.

You and your partner may want to consider having a repeat chlamydia test in 6-8 weeks to make sure it has completely resolved. If you wish to restarted your pills, notify your doctor for further instructions.

this month has seven days left i still aint came on my cycle i am pregnant

If you have been having unprotected intercourse, there is the chance of pregnancy. If this is the case, wait until your period is more than 1 week late. If it has not occurred, do a pregnancy test, either at home or at a clinic.

If you are on the birth control pills, bleeding should occur sometime within the last 7 days of your pill pack (sugar or placebo pills). Your period (a more accurate term would be withdrawal bleed) occurs due to the withdrawal, or lack of, hormones. It may take several days for your body to react to this change. Some women begin bleeding on the first day of their placebo pills, while other women may not begin bleeding until the 4th or 5th day.

If you have further concerns, please discuss these with your doctor or clinic.

i came after my boyfriend can i get pregnat

If you and your boyfriend are having unprotected intercourse, then, yes,  there is the chance of pregnancy. The timing of orgasm /ejaculation does not affect the risk of pregnancy.

I have been taking birth control for two months now. I was supposed to start my period on sunday but I have not got it yet. What does that mean?

The birth control pill cycle is set up to have you taking 21 days of hormone pills, then 7 days of hormone free pills. The hormone free pills are also referred to as “sugar” pills or “placebo” pills. 

 Since the pills work to thin the uterine lining, period bleeding may become shorter and lighter. The reason why women who are on the pills have a period is because of the lack of hormones during that last week. This “withdrawal bleed” can begin anytime within those 7 days. How long it takes for bleeding to occur is individual. Some women start bleeding on the second pill, some may start as late as the 4th or 5th pill. Any bleeding during the hormone free week is considered a period. Additionally, it is not uncommon for consistent pill users to skip a period every so often.

If you have taken your pills correctly and consistently, then your risk of pregnancy is low. Wait a few more days to see if you start bleeding. Continue taking your pills and be sure to begin a new pill pack…

i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the second day of my period(jan 17)and after that my period has been really light like almost gone, could i be pregnant ?My periods usually last a week with heavy flow and today its the fourth day of my period(jan 19)and its really light.please answer asap.thanks.

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. However, the level of this risk can depend on where you are at in your menstrual cycle. If you have regular 28 days cycles, your least fertile time would be the few days immediately prior to and during your period. Therefore, the chance of pregnancy is unlikely.

Correct & consistent condom use can be an effective method of preventing pregnancy. You may also want to consider starting a long term method of birth control like the pills, shot, patch, etc.  Family Planning Plus clinics offer free gynecological exams and birth control at little to no cost, depending on your household size & income.

I want to thank whoever answers these questions. It is nice to know that there is somewhere we can go to for reliable answers. Since I am sexually active without my parents knowing and can’t go to a doctor this website has helped me a lot. Once again, thank you :)

Thank you very much for your positve comment.  We are glad you find our website informative and helpful.   🙂

if i got treated for gonorrhea and decide to have sex 5 days after i got treated am i still infected or is it cleared up by then?

Unfortunately, I can’t give you a definite answer about that. Most antibiotics for gonorrhea take at least 3 to 5, sometimes up to 7 days to be completely effective. The safest thing would be to abstain from intercourse for 7 days.  If you absolutely cannot avoid intercourse, condom use is highly recommended. However, since condoms are not 100%, there is still the possibility of exposing and infecting your partner.

You may want to consider being retested in 6-8 weeks to make sure the gonorrhea is completely gone.

I had unprotected sex about one month ago. my period has still noot co I took a pregnancy test. but it was negative. I also have a prob of polycystic ovarian syndrome. can I still be pregnant?

If you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy, even if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Many women with PCOS ovulate irregularly, therefore it is difficult to determine fertility. PCOS usually causes irregular periods characterized by  long menstrual cycles. Women may have 40 or more days between periods. They make go months without have any bleeding at all.

Repeat the pregnancy test in two weeks. If it is still negative, and you have not had any unprotected sex within that time period, then you most likely are not pregnant.

If you are not planning a pregnancy, it is important to correctly and consistently use a reliable method of birth control.  Consider scheduling an exam with a doctor to evaluate your irregular periods and/or begin a long term method of birth control (pills, shot, etc.).

Is it possible to have a period and be pregnant? On dec 1 I had unprotected sex, he pulled out, I took plan b 6-7 hours later My period usually comes on the 22, but I had my period or period like bleeding on dec. 14 that lasted until the 17, it was a medium flow with a lot of clots. Jan. 10-16 I had my period, I had a lot of clots which lead to medium flow that was constant. I am nervous because usually my periods are really heavy the first few days and they haven’t been heavy for 2 months. Sometimes my stomach feels tight specially on my left side and uncomfortable setpecially when im sleeping, sometimes I get random cramps/twitches, once in a while I feel nauseous. I took a pregnancy test dec. 22 and got a negative. I haven’t had sex after that.

Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. Plan B may cause your periods to occur earlier or later than usual. Your bleeding may be lighter, heavier or spottier than usual. Since you had period like bleeding in January, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.

If you are not planning a pregnancy, you may want to consider starting a long term birth control method like the pill, Depo shot, patch, etc.  Correct and consistent condom use can also be an effective method of preventing pregnancy.
