i had unprotected sex 2, 3, and 4 days before my period. my period lasted only 4 days which is kinda shorter than usual and now i only feel nauseas sometimes 3 weeks later. could i be pregnant?

Yes, pregnancy is possible. If you are a week or more late for your next period, take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result.

In the meantime, if you do not wish to be pregnant, do not continue to have unprotected sex. Either abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms from start to finish for each act of intercourse. If you are interested in starting a hormonal method of birth control and you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment. We can talk with you about all of your contraceptive options and help you choose one that best fits your lifestyle. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.

Lately after me and my husband have unprotected sex, his penis has been breaking out with bumps all over it and it itches for him too. I dont itch, i dont have bumps down there. i am pregnant and idk if that could cause something to make his penis react to my vagina?

Your husband should see a medical provider as soon as possible to determine the cause of his outbreak. This is particularly important since you are pregnant. If he has an infection, he may be able to transmit it you during sexual intercourse which could cause complications for your pregnancy. However, it could be something as simple as a reaction to a yeast infection that you might have. In any event, it is best that he be seen by a medical provider just to be on the safe side.

Should I be worried if the seventh day of my period is heavier than the first six, when usually thats when its fading off?

Periods can vary from month to month. However, if your bleeding becomes even heavier or continues for more than a few more days, contact your medical provider for an appointment.

I’ve been on birth control and taken it correctly for about 5 months now. Last Thursday I was about 6 hours late taking my pill but I still took it on the same day. Around three hours after I took it I got sick and threw up. The following Sunday I had sex and my boyfriend ejaculated in me when we normally just pull out. Should I purchase plan b or should I be ok?

Plan B is not necessary in your case, and would only cause unnecessary side effects. If you had missed your pill by more than 24 hours or if you had thrown up within an hour after taking your pill, Plan B may have been indicated. Keep taking your pills as directed.

i was taking a mexican shot for birth control but it was getting a bet costy so i went to the health deparment and got the depo a few days ago, but i have only two weeks i got the mexican one.(I have to put the mexican shot every 30 days) can my depo shot afect the bith control???

Unfortunately, we are unfamiliar with the mexican shot. If this is a monthly injection, it sounds like the equivalent of Lunelle here in the United States. Both Depo and Lunelle are progestin only methods and are highly effective (over 99% effective).  While it is not a good idea to receive both shots simultaneously as it overloads your system with hormones, it will not affect your regular birth control’s ability to prevent pregnancy.  However, it may increase the likelihood that you may experience some side effects. Please contact a medical care provider immediately if you have any of the following warning signs:

severe pain in the stomach or abdomen
unusually heavy or prolonged vaginal bleeding
a new lump in your breast
severe depression
migraine headaches accompanied by an aura
yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes

Even if you don’t have any of the above signs, please contact the health department where you received your Depo shot or the medical provider who provides your “mexican” shots, and explain what happened.  They may want to monitor your side effects more closely.

if i had unprotected sex 4 days ago what can i do not to become pregnant?

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill that helps prevent pregnancy. It is most effective when taken within 24 to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse (about 75% to 80% effective).  Some research states that Plan B can still be somewhat effective when taken as long as 72 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.

If it has been longer than 5 days after your unprotected intercourse, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent pregnancy. You will have to wait until your next period. Until then, use condoms or abstain from sex. If your period is more that 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

You may want to consider beginning a long term method of birth control like birth control pills, patch, vaginal ring or the DepoProvera injection.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, pregnancy testing and emergency contraception for little to no cost, depending on your household size and income. STD screenings are free for men and women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.

i started my period the on time usually lasts 3 to4 days and then start my new pack o birth control that week on friday ,so i started my white active pills but i have been spotting since 4 days into my pills

Sometimes spotting or bleeding from your period will last even after you begin a new pack of pills. Continue taking your pills every day. This should straighten out within the next week or two.

Hi. I have been on Kariva bcp sine November, so about 5 months. My boyfriend and i had unprotected sex and I experienced a very, very light pink discharge went I used the restroom about an hour later. This is the first time is has happened. Any ideas on what it could be?

First, as long as you are taking your birth control pills correctly & consistently, you do not need to worry about pregnancy. Even if you and your partner do not use a condom, your pills are covering you as far as birth control.

It is not uncommon for women to sometimes have pink discharge or spotting after intercourse. If this occurs infrequently, it is not a concern. However, if it begins occurring more frequently, like every time after sex, or becomes heavier (like bleeding), it may be a signal that you have a vaginal infection. In this case, it would be a good idea to follow up with your doctor for a vaginal infection check and/or STD screening.

if a man ejactulates sperm into a female two days after she discontinues birth control

Yes, there is the risk of pregnancy anytime you have unprotected intercourse. If your partner discontinued her pill 2 days prior to sex, she was no long protected from pregnancy.

my wife has been working a lot in the past 2 years , it is only in the last few months that i realized that she no longer has the same white discharge that normally she secreats during sex, also it smells clean as if she just washed her vagina , before even after a shower she would smell like a “normal” vagina (like freshly sharppened pencil) .also she would orgasm every time ,but not lately, she blames it as being tired. she lost some of her work and now i can see the normal white discharge and she orgasm again, i’m thinking that she is cheating on me am i correct?

Nothing you described would indicate that your wife is having an affair. Clear to white vaginal discharge without a strong odor  is normal throughout the menstrual cycle, and stress and fatigue can affect one’s ability to reach orgasm. Also, vaginal discharge may change periodically throughout a woman’s life. If you are worried about the possibility that your wife is cheating on you, you need to talk to her.  When you bring up the topic, don’t accuse her of cheating – she may not be cheating at all. Just explain what you have noticed lately and tell her that you are worried that she may be seeing someone else, and see what she says.
