Anytime semen or pre-seminal fluid enters the vagina, pregnancy is possible. The bleeding you mentioned was most likely caused by vaginal irritation from the intercourse. However, some women do have a little bleeding around the time of ovulation, which would have been the worst time to have unprotected sex. If you are not using any type of hormonal birth control (the pill, patch, ring, shot, implant or Mirena IUD), we would have recommended that you use Plan B. Plan B is a pill that can be used after unprotected sex to decrease the risk of pregnancy. However, Plan B should be used within 72 hours of the unprotected sex. Since you are beyond the 72 hour period, we would advise you to wait and see if you get your next period. If you miss your period, take an over-the-counter pregnancy test. Use first morning urine since it is more concentrated and follow the directions precisely. In the meantime, avoid alcohol, tobacco, and drugs in case you are pregnant. Also, please use condoms and a reliable method of birth control to avoid a future pregnancy. Feel free…

Comments Off on i missed my period and took pregnancy test and there were all negative. i got tested for stds and i have chylmedia. is there still a possibility that i could be pregnant?
Urine pregnancy tests check for hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone the placenta releases after conception. Most over-the counter pregnancy tests are quite accurate, and will detect hCG after a missed period. Therefore, it is unlikely you are pregnant. However, some individuals do have extremely low hCG levels during the first month or so of their pregnancy. You may even have had a faulty or expired test. To rule out pregnancy for sure, contact your medical care provider and request a blood test for pregnancy. If you have no medical insurance, try repeating the urine test in a few weeks. To decrease the risk of a false negative, use the test as soon as you wake up – your urine will be more concentrated at this time since it’s been collecting in your bladder all night long. In the meantime, please use condoms and a reliable method of birth control for each and every act of sexual intercourse. Since you have chlamydia, it would not be a good time to become pregnant as you can pass the infection to the baby. Correct…

Comments Off on Over the past few months, I have noticed recurring bumps on my vulva. They usually itch and sometimes also hurt. They are kind of hard, and some end up looking sort of like pimples but most are just red bumps. I don’t think it’s just razor burn or ingrown hairs because the bumps are larger than that and occur even if I haven’t shaved recently. I did have unprotected genital contact with several partners whose sexual histories I do not know, right before the time these bumps began appearing. Do you think this is an STD or just some other kind of irritation?
Without examining the area, it’s difficult to tell. Irritation is a possibility, but it could also be a mild case of genital warts or genital herpes. The only way to rule out these infections is to have an examination by a medical professional while the symptoms are present. The next time you notice the bumps, please call one of our offices for an appointment.

Comments Off on I had sex during the fourth day of my period. I then noticed that the condom had slipped off he hadn’t ejaculated yet. My question is could I get pregnant or is the plan B pill recommended at this point?b
Pregnancy is always a possibility when two people engage in intercourse. However, if the intercourse occurred during your period, pregnancy is highly unlikely. Are you currently on any type of hormonal birth control (pill, patch, ring, shot, implant, Mirena IUD)? If you are, and you are using your method as directed, Plan B would not be recommended. If you are not using contraception, contact your regular medical care provider for his or her recommendation.

Comments Off on I was just found out that my boyfriend that cheated on me with a girl that has herpes if I go today to the er I got my period can I still.get tested
You can request a type-specific blood test for herpes in which case it wouldn’t matter if you had your menstrual cycle. However, it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months for antibodies to develop after infection. If it has been more than three months since you last had sexual contact with your partner, the test would be accurate. However, if you were recently infected, it might not show up on your blood test since the test looks for antibodies that are specific to either type of herpes (type 1 or type 2). If you have no medical insurance, call our Lewisburg office for the test. We offer it for only $60, a real bargain thanks to a special contract with a private lab. If you have medical insurance, have your regular medical care provider order the test for you. For more information about genital herpes, please read the answer to the question that begins “If someone has a cold sore…” further down on this page.

Comments Off on Last night i had sex with my girlfriend and the condom broke. I’m pretty sure some semen leaked inside of her. She is on birth control and takes it regularly without missing any o the pills. Should she take the morning after pill? She mentioned something about there being a certain period of time throught out the pill cycle where you should not have unprotected sex, because you fun the risk of getting pregnant… is that true? And if so, what is that timeframe? Thank you.
If your girlfriend was on the pill for at least one full week before the encounter occurred and as long as she has not missed any of her pills, there is no need to take Plan B. It will probably just make her nauseous (since she will be overloading her system with hormones) and cause her next period to be irregular. The pill is close to 99% effective with perfect use (provided she is taking her pills at the same time every single day and as long as she is not using any medication that would lower the pill’s effectiveness).
A woman is most fertile around the time of ovulation. Ovulation typically occurs about two weeks prior to the beginning of the menstrual period. A woman’s monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period (Day 1) until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman’s cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have shorter or longer cycles. Each woman is different. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of…

Comments Off on He wore a condom, and pulled out. 28 hours later i took the plan b pill. Could i be pregnant?
If the condom did not break and if he withdrew his penis prior to ejaculation, we would not even have recommended use of Plan B. It is highly unlikely that a pregnancy could have resulted from the situation you described. However, there is always a chance when two people engage in intercourse even when using multiple methods (for example, the condom could have been defective, the pre-ejaculate could have contained sperm, and you may have ovulated before Plan B use). However, the chance of all three of these things occurring simultaneously is very, very slim.
