i had sex without a condom on January 14th and i took the plan b pill 3 days later. well i masturbated the next day nd my nails made me bleed….. could i still end up pregnant even with my period a week away

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is a risk of pregnancy. Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. Your next period may be a little earlier or later; it may also be a little spottier or heavier. This is common after use of emergency contraception. That you masturbated and scratched yourself with your fingernail has no effect on your risk of pregnancy.

If your period is more than 2 weeks late, do a pregnancy test, either at home or at a family planning clinic. Family Planning clinics offer pregnancy tests, STD screenings, gynecological exams and birth control at little or no cost, depending on your household size & income. Please call for an appointment if necessary.

I took 2 plan b last night and I have a weird tingling feeling on my vagina with a little bit of itch inside. What is this?

There is no evidence that says Plan B could cause tingling or itching in the vaginal area. Itching is a common sign of either irritation or yeast infection.

If the vaginal itching continues or becomes worse, you could try an over the counter yeast medication like Monistat or Clotrimazole. These medications treat yeast and offer relief from vaginal itching.

If your vaginal itching continues despite using an OTC medication, follow up with your doctor or clinic for an infection check. Keep in mind that Plan B may cause you to have some irregular spotting or bleeding throughout your next menstrual cycle. This is common and is self correcting within a month or two.

If you need an infection check, Family Planning clinics offer these at little or no cost, depending on your household size & income. Please call for an appointment if necessary.

I HAD SEX ON MONDAY, IM NOT ON BIRTHCONTROL BUT I START MY PERIOD TODAY WEDNESDAY WAT WILL HAPPEN NOW? AM I SAFE FRM NOT BE PREGANT, I WAS ON BIRTHCONTROL FOR 3YEARS I TOOK IT OUT FEBUARY2011

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse there is a chance of pregnancy. However, since you had intercourse two days before your period started, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.

If your partner is on an antibotic and he cums inside of me, could that cause me to get a yeast infection?

Your partner’s antibiotic use would not cause you to get a yeast infection. Yeast infections are common in women.  Several things can alter your vaginal pH….your medications, having a period, sex, illness. When the vaginal pH becomes unbalanced, an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria can occur. Common vaginal infections like yeast and bacterial vaginosis are not sexually transmitted.

Symptoms of a yeast infection are thick, white, cottage cheese like vaginal discharge and itching or burning in the vaginal area. Bacterial vaginosis is usually characterized by a thin white, milky discharge and “fishy” odor, which may become worse after intercourse.

Over the counter yeast medications (Monistat, etc.) are available at many pharmacies and stores. They are available as a 3 or 7 day treatment. Bacterial vaginosis requires a prescription for an antibiotic.

If you are having abnormal vaginal discharge, you should be seen by your doctor or clinic for an infection check. Family Planning Plus offers infection checks at little or no cost, depending on your household size & income. Please call for an appointment if necessary.

What std makes you not have a period? I have discharge and I just started noticing it

Sexually transmitted infections usually do not prevent you from having a period.  Sometimes vaginal infections can cause irregular spotting or bleeding after intercourse.

Clear to white vaginal discharge with no odor is normal. You may notice that the discharge dries yellow on your panties or pad. This is normal and helps maintain vaginal pH at the correct level.

If you are having yellow or green discharge with a foul odor, this is not normal. This can be indicative of an STD.  Other vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast, may cause a change in discharge, but are not sexually transmitted infections. Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by thin, white, milky vaginal discharge that has a “fishy” odor. This odor may be more noticeable after intercourse. Yeast infections usually cause thick, white, cottage cheese like discharge, along with intense itching in the vaginal area. Medications are available to treat most vaginal infections.

If you continue to have abnormal vaginal discharge, you should schedule an infection check and/or STD screening. Family Planning clinics offer both at little or no cost. Please call for an appointment if necessary.

i had sex with my girlfreind on her period and the next day i have a rash looking thing on my dick? its not bumps or anything but ititches a little?

A lot of friction occurs during intercourse. You could be having some irritation from this. If your partner was having bleeding or some vaginal discharge, this may have made the irritation worse, and caused some redness. “Jock itch” is common in men. Jock itch is actually a yeast infection which can occur in the groin, on the penis, scrotum and/or inner thighs. It is characterized usually by a shiny, sometimes reddened rash, and itching.  It is not an STD. 

You might want to try an over the counter medication for jock itch. Anti-fungal medications for this condition are available at pharmacies and department stores. Anti-fungals are very effective, but it is important to use the cream/spray for the recommended time (usually 7 days). .

If your rash continues after using medication, becomes worse, or you begin having pain or blisters, you should be seen by your family physician or family planning clinic. Family Planning Plus offers free STD screening for men and women. Please call for an appointment if necessary.

I had sex about 5 times this month everytime I had sex it was with a c ondom and he pulled put with a condom on before he ejaculated. My period is 4 days late and is never really on time or on the same cycle. I have been working out alot this month and have een kind of stress(idk if that makes a difference) is there any chance of pregnancy. To mine and his knowledge the condom did not break the

When used correctly & consistently, condoms are very effective at preventing pregnancy.  If you used a condom every time, the chances that you are pregnancy is low. However, only abstinence is 100% effective.

Things like stress, illness, medications, even a change in activity level, can alter your periods, making them come early, late or not at all. Additionally, you have a history of having an irregular cycle. Women who have irregular cycles can have periods that are as close together as 21 days or as far apart as 40 days. Some women may skip periods. This does make keeping track of your period more difficult. Wait until your period is more than 1 week late. After this, do a pregnancy test, either at home or at a clinic. If your pregnancy test is negative, then wait until the next month. If you miss two periods in a row, you may want to consider making an appointment for a gynecological exam.

Family Planning clinics offer gyn exams, birth control and STD screening at little or no cost, depending on your household size & income. Please…

i had sex with my boyfriend on monday. the condom broke but he pulled out right when it did and he didnt cum inside me he had a new condom on.. could i be prego ?

Anytime you have unprotected sex or a method failure (like a broken condom), there is a risk of pregnancy. If you were having your period, or just ended it, you are less likely to be fertile at that time. During mid-cycle, which is usually when you’re ovulating, chances of pregnancy are higher.

If your partner pulled out right away, before he ejaculated, it is unlikely that any sperm leaked into your vagina. If you are not on a long term birth control method like the pill, shot, etc., and you want more peace of mind, you might consider taking emergency contraception. Emergency contraceptive pills help prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It is available for purchase over the counter at most pharmacies by women 17 and older. Teens under 17 require a prescription. The cost is around $45, depending on the pharmacy. ECPs are most effective when taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse/method failure, but studies show that it may be effective  even when taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after.

If you are interested in ECPs or a long…

My boyfriend and I had sex about a week and a half ago and we did use a condom. After he ejaculated in the condom, we kept going for a little bit and when we stopped, we noticed the condom wraped itself up and cam off in me; but it was wrapped where it looked like nothing came out. i am on birth control pills and never missed a pill and take it the same time everyday. 5 days after this incident I had to take antibiotics (penicillin) for strep. I am one day late on my period now. Could I be pregnant?

If you were taking your pills correctly and consistently, it is unlikely that you would have gotten pregnant. Continue to take your pills everyday, and begin a new pack on time. Keep in mind that things like illness and some medications will alter your cycle, making it come early, late or not at all. If you do not have a period during your next cycle of placebo (sugar) pills, do a pregnancy test.

If you need a pregnancy test, Family Planning clinics offer these at little to no cost, depending on household size and income. Please call for an appointment.

No, those pills are for you only. You should take them as directed. Be sure to finish all of the pills. Do not have sex with anyone (including your partner) during your treatment and for seven days after you finish the medicine. If you fail to follow these instructions, you could become reinfected. You should contact your doctor to request medication for your partner as well.  If your partner cannot afford a trip to the doctor and you live in our service area, have your partner contact one of our offices for an appointment for a free STD screening.  Your partner should specify that he or she has been exposed to trich, and we will be able to provide him/her with treatment.
