Family Planning Plus

My fiance’s period is five days late. We took the test and it came back negative, we plan on taking another in the next three days. We use condoms in combination with withdrawal. She has been heavily stressed lately and has been experiencing no symptoms. I was wondering what the chances of pregnancy were?

If you use condoms and withdrawal correctly & consistently, it is unlikely that your parnter is pregnant. Many things can cause changes in a woman’s menstrual cycle. Things like stress, illness, changes in diet, exercise or sleep may cause her periods to come earlier, later, or sometimes, not at all.

What you did is appropriate. Repeat the pregnancy test in 2-3 weeks. If it is still negative, then your partner is not pregnant. Wait for another month. If her period skips another month, consult with her family doctor or ob/gyn doctor.

every time i have sex withy partner my viagina gets lower and some times lips wount close remind you i just gave birth 2 months ago

Giving birth does stretch everything out and a woman’s body does take time to heal. Although it is okay to begin sexual activity 6 to 8 weeks after delivery, the body may take several months to return to it’s pre-pregnancy state.

I’m not sure what you mean by your vagina gets lower. Sometimes a woman may develop a small cystocele after pregnancy. This is when the pelvic muscles relax and the urinary bladder will “hang” down a little in the vagina. Some women describe this as a pressure or “hanging” sensation in their vagina.

Give your body more time to heal. If this becomes worse or you have further concerns, discuss this with your obstetrician.

if you had sex 3-4 prior and then woke up with pink eye is that clamydia or gonorhea?

It is possible to get chlamydia in the eye, however, this is more commonly seen in babies whose mothers were infected with chlamydia at the time of delivery. The bacteria that causes pink eye is not related to chlamydia.

Pink eye is very contagious. If your partner had it, or you were around another person who had it, you probably contracted it from general contact. The infected person touched something, you touched it, then rubbed your eye. Antibiotic eye drops are effective treatment for pink eye. Good and frequent handwashing is also important. Some employers and school disctricts recommend staying at home until the pink eye infection is cleared.

i have a precum leakage without sex and flow alot of precum speciaaly in the morning plz advise me adrugs for this problem.

It is normal for a man to have clear discharge from the penis. Depending on the individual, the discharge may be a “little” or “a lot”. Because men have nocturnal erections and ejaculations during sleep, the discharge may be increased and more noticeable upon wakening. This is usually not cause for concern. There are no medications to prevent this discharge.

If the discharge is yellow or green, or is accompanied by pain with urination, an infection may be present. If so, testing for sexually transmitted infections is recommended.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer free STD screenings for men and women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.

I have been pleasuring myself with objects, like pens and pencils. And all of the sudden I didn’t get my period for about 4 months, is there a chance i might have an infection from pens/pecils?

Vaginal infections are more likely to cause pelvic cramping, unusual vaginal discharge and/or unusual vaginal odor. Infections may also cause irregular periods or spotting.

Masturbating with objects, especially if the objects are not clean, may cause vaginal infections. Sharp or pointed objects could also cause damage to the vagina and cervix.

Amenorrhea, or lack of periods, is usually cause by one of two things. First, if you have been having unprotected intercourse, you may be pregnant. Perform a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, then you may have a hormonal imbalance that is causing you to not have a period. Consider scheduling an appointment with an Ob/gyn doctor for an exam and evaluation.

I am about 6 days late for my period, 4-5 days ago I experienced some brown spotting that was very light and lasted only a day; Could I be pregnant? I had a lot of mood swings around when I should have ovulated a few weeks ago which I attributed to my pill schedule being somewhat irregular (I missed two); Is it possible that my missed period is due to something else?

If your period is 6 days late, the only way to know about pregnancy is to do a pregnancy test.

So we have unprotected sex, he is 20% unsure whether he finished outside or maybe at the edge of vagina, there is no proof it ended at the edge. but i’m still worried. i want to take the moring after pill, but i have final exam this week. i am worry about the side affect, and this is my first time with morning-after-pill. i’m so worried. please help. thanks.

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy.

Emergency contraceptives help prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. When taken as soon as possible (or at least within 24-72 hours) after unprotected intercourse, they can be about 75% to 80% effective at preventing pregnancy.

ECPs are usually well tolerated by most women. Some common side effects can be nausea (this is lessened if taken with either food or an anti-emetic), fatigue, headache, breast tenderness and changes in periods.  

i had unprotected sex and when i went to wipe myself it was his cum on the outside of my vagina and then when i stood up it felt like something was leaking out could i be pregnant

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy.

Emergency contraceptives (ECPs) like Plan B and Plan B OneStep are available for purchase at most pharmacies for women ages 17 and older.  Women under age 17 still require a prescription. When taken within 24-72 hours after unprotected intercourse, ECPs can be about 75% to 80% effective at preventing pregnancy. ECPs help prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. ECPs do not provide any lasting or long term pregnancy prevention.

If you are not planning a pregnancy, consider abstaining from sex, using condoms, or starting a long term method of birth control, like the pills, patch, vaginal ring or DepoProvera injection. If your next period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

I’ve been on the same oral contraceptive for a year now. I’m 16, I had sex for the first time about a month ago. Saturday, May 5th, I had sex for the second time and experienced brown discharge afterwards and it hasn’t stopped since then. I don’t know what this is or how I can stop it. I’ve been reading on the internet about breakthrough bleeding due to switching birth control and possible pregnancy. Pregnancy is near impossible considering I’ve been reguarly taking my pills (Apri .30) and he wore a condom.

As long as you have been taking your birth control pills correctly & consistently, you should not need to worry about pregnancy.

Brown discharge is usually indicative of dried, old blood. It is not uncommon for women to have irregular spotting from time to time. Continue taking your pills daily. This should correct itself and go away over the next month.

I have the implanon implant inserted into my arm and it expired over a week ago without me realising! I had unprotected sex twice 7 days after the implants expiration date… Is there a chance I could be pregnant or is it possible that the implant would still be releasing contraceptive hormones? Thanks for your help!

With implants, it is best to error on the side of caution and assume that the Implanon is no longer active past its due date. Yes, theoretically, it could be active past the due date, however, it is unknown whether there is enough active ingredient left to maintain a therapeutic level in your bloodstream.

Another factor is your body. After having the Implanon for the past 3 years, your body has been in a hypoestrogenic (low estrogen) state. It can take weeks to months for your body to return to its own normal state of estrogen-progesterone balance. It is unlikely (but not impossible) that you would ovulate right away.

In the meantime, do not have unprotected intercourse. Abstain from sex or use condoms. If an “oops” happens, remember that you can purchase emergency contraceptives (Plan B) over the counter at many pharmacies. When taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, ECPs are about 75% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Call your doctor or clinic to schedule removal of your implant. If you wish to continue birth control, review the different methods and think…
