Yes, you may be pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test. Call one of our offices for an appointment or purchase a home pregnancy test at the drug store. If you are pregnant, the earlier you know, the better.  Early prenatal care and taking good care of yourself during pregnancy can improve your chances of having a healthy baby. If you decide to terminate the pregnancy, earlier procedures are safer.  Just in case you aren’t pregnant, do not have unprotected sex again.  Either abstain from sex or use condoms.

i had unprotected sex two days ago then i got the morning after pill. but ive started taking birth control that day i had sex. so am i going to get pregnant? im really scared.

Pregnancy is always a possibility when a male and a female have sex. However, you did take the morning after pill within 72 hours of the unprotected sex so you did reduce your risk. It’s also good that you started regular birth control pills. Remember that they do not become effective until you take a full week’s worth of pills. Until then, be sure to use condoms or abstain from sex. During your first three months of pill use, you can expect menstrual irregularities (a missed period, breakthrough or mid-cycle bleeding), breast tenderness, nausea, and moodiness. These side effects are also symptoms of early pregnancy.  If you are worried about the possibility of pregnancy, take a pregnancy test after you finish your first pack of pills.

i missed two bc pills and started my period because of it. i then took the two pills the same day and had a normal period that lasted about 3 days. now im on my normal period and it is lighter than usual. what could this mean?

Whenever you miss birth control pills, especially when you miss more than one, you can expect changes in your bleeding patterns. This is because your body is experiencing hormonal fluctuations due to the missed pills. Your period was lighter this time because you had some mid-cycle bleeding. Since you did have some bleeding during your placebo (sugar) pills, pregnancy is unlikely.

my ultrasound says i got preg the first day of my last period but i didn have sex then i had sex a few days before n a few days after which is more likely when i got preg

Unless you have been keeping strict & accurate records of your cycle, it is almost impossible to know the exact day you got pregnant. Sperm are able to survive for 3 days in the vagina. Then the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and takes about 7 days to travel down into the uterus.
If you have further concerns about your dates, discuss them with your OB doctor or midwife during your prenatal visit.

I had sex for the first time last week. Since the next day, my vagina has been itchy and painful. Pain originated in the front and back of vaginal opening, like the other skin was stretched too much and it was a little red in those two areas, but not painful anywhere else. Today I noticed a little inflammation in the labium minora. Inside doesn’t hurt that I know of. We used a condom, and it’s still too early to be an STD, right? Is this normal? It doesn’t seem to be getting any better over time, although it’s only been a week.

Most STDs will show up within a week or two. Your discomfort may be due to stretching and friction of the tissue since it was your first time. However, reddness and itching can be symptoms of a yeast infection. You may want to try an over-the-counter yeast medication. If this does not relieve your discomfort, see your ob/gyn for an infection check.

Remember to not have sex while you are using any vaginal medication. When using condoms, an OTC vaginal lubricant (like KY) can help make intercourse more comfortable.

We had sex without a condom but he didn’t cum inside of me I don’t think so can I stilly get pregnant cause he’s the only boy I had sex with and now I feel symptoms of pregnancy

Yes, pregnancy is possible because of pre-ejaculatory fluid. This fluid leaks out of the penis during intercourse but prior to ejaculation (cumming). Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm and thus, could cause a pregnancy if the sex occurred around the time of ovulation (when an egg is released). If you have missed a period, take a pregnancy test. If you plan to continue to have sex, be sure to use a method of birth control. Contact one of our offices and make an appointment. We can perform a pregnancy test (if indicated) and help you choose a type of birth control that’s best for you.

I have no uterus i had sex no condom he came inside ..what can happen to me ?

Probably nothing. Of course, if he has a sexually transmitted infection, you could become infected. If you are concerned about an infection, having a vaginal swab for chlmydia and gonorrhea would be a good idea. 

Women without a uterus cannot get pregnancy /carry a child.  There would be nothing for the fertilized egg (zygote) to attach to. I am assuming that you lack a uterus due to a total or partial hysterectomy; you may or may not have your ovaries or fallopian tubes. If you also have no ovaries, you would be considered post-menopausal (meaning your periods have ended and you are no longer fertile). If you have your ovaries,they may still be slightly functional hormone wise, depending on your age. This can help ease your transition into menopause.

If your uterus was removed due to a female cancer, then it is important that you continue to have yearly gyn exams for vaginal pap tests. Having a history of uterine or other female cancer may make you at risk for vaginal cancer. If your uterus was removed for a reason other than cancer, then…

Can I return my unused birth control pills to Family Planning?

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept unused packs of pills.

i had sex 9 weeks ago on the last day of my period. i took next choice within 7 hours and started depo the next day. all of my hpts are negative and my doctor said my uterus does not feel enlarged and my cervix isnt bluish. also, i spot when my period would normally be due which ive been told is normal when on depo provera. should i still be worried, or can i relax?

Relax.

If you are pregnant, the home pregnancy tests should be showing positive by now. When first starting the Depo shot it is very common to have irregular spotting and/or bleeding. It may take your body 3-9 months to become adjusted to being on Depo.

After continued use of the Depo shot, you should have little or no period bleeding. 80% of all women using the Depo shot stop having periods within one year of use. The reason for this is that the shot doesn’t allow the uterine lining to build up each month. If there’s no lining building up and dying off, there’s nothing to bleed out. This is a benefit of the Depo shot that many women enjoy. When you receive your shots on time, Depo’s effectiveness is about 99.9%.

if you slept with someone with an std does it automatically mean you are infected

Thats a good question. If you had sex with someone who has a STD, no, its not a definite that you will be infected. It is possible to be exposed but not infected.
Think of it this way: you are in a room with two of your friends. You have a cold. You shake hands and talk with both of them. Friend A comes down with a cold a week later, Friend B stays healthy. Confusing? Sure.

According to Contraceptive Technology, the risk of becoming  infected depends on: having intercourse with an infected person, the transmissibility of the particular infection, and the gender of the infected person.  Women are more likely than men to become infected with an STD  from a single sex act. Women can also have more long term consequences from STD infection (pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnance, pelvic pain, cervical cancer).

Sexually transmitted infections are most common in people under age 25. According to the most recent CDC statistics, in 2010 there were 1.3 million new cases of chlamydia, with 50% of these being people ages 15-24. Thats an infection…
