A Vibrator and a burger...

[mmm-sexxay.livejournal.com]

So on Friday I went to my dentist for a follow up on my surgery (had 5 teeth taken out).. then I went to my school to get a book from our library, and cash because I was on a mission

( a buzzing mission )

I adore my new vibrator and have yet to name it (after that one post about naming vibrators I feel it needs one LMAO), any suggestions? LOL

Bleh.

I've got a question to ask. ( dont know if this is considered long or not )

I do hope I haven't posted a frequent topic. I'm tired, frustrated, and its not about Yeast or UTIs so I'm not going to go through the entire comms archives to search for a post on... this.
I think its pretty coherent. If it isn't, I'll know if and when I wake up in the morning and come and check my post.

And about my ljmood- my joints, muscles etc. are sore from walking around all day on crutches, trying to keep up with my parents and my inability to just lay there and let them heal.
I can't stand it.

Should I be concerned?

This weekend I had sex with my guy and after we had finished he pulls out and tells me that the condom had ripped. Neither of us had noticed it because we were so into what we were doing. He had definitely ejaculated in me, big time. He acted like it was no big deal, but then again he was a little tipsy that night. We always use condoms, and I'm on Nordette 28 birth control pills. I know that since I'm on the pill I shouldn't worry, but we use both because women in my family tend to be fertile Myrtles. I just thought I would get your all's input and see if I should really be worried about it. I've been on the pill for a few months now, so I'm hoping that it's as effective as it says it should be. Thanks ahead of time for your help!

I hope these questions aren't off topic...

1. Do any of you girls get a lot of, uh, bowel movements before and during your period? I was jst wondering if it was common. And also...

2. Right after doggy style sex (like when you go to stand up as soon as you're done having sex), is it normal for some of his semen to leak out?

I hope that some of you guys can help me :D

More Post-Depo Problems

[actinide.livejournal.com]

I'm on my period. I have been since... Oh... the 23rd of last month :(

I was supposed to get my last Depo shot in January, but decided against it. Planned Parenthood wanted me to start on an alternative method of BC, but I decided that I just wanted to let my hormones return to normal. I bled for 5 days after missing my shot, then didn't have a period at all until last month. When I started on the 23rd, I figured "great, my hormones are returning to normal and my period's coming back". Hah.

I called Planned Parenthood, and asked them what was going on, and I got the response "eh, who knows? Just take some ibuprofin to help the cramping, and beyond that we don't know how to help you". (Have I mentioned that the local branch of PP isn't exactly competant when it comes to anything more complicated than handing out condoms and pill packs?)

Last time I had a bleeding problem related to Depo (7 years ago), going on the pill made the bleeding stop. However, I don't have access to the pill because PP wants me to have another pelvic before giving it to me (even though I JUST had one done about a month ago). Also, I'm not really sure that I want to use any more synthetic hormones to fix problems caused by synthetic hormones.

So... Any suggestions? =\

P.S. I apologize if the tone of this post is kind of grumpy.

Period-ness

[iridescentcold.livejournal.com]

I was planning on skipping my period this month [I'm on Tri-Sprintec, the generic ortho tri-cyclen] but the insurance won't cover it until 5 days from now. I'm also starting a new job and I know I'm going to be nervous and now on top of that I'll feel miserable sick and be cramped and gross. Anyone have any specific things to help bad cramps? I'm kind of tired of having to take at least 1000mg of Tylenol.

Also, more importantly, I need to get a Divacup but even if I order it now, it won't come in time. Does anyone know anywhere near the Clearwater/Tampa area that sells them? The closest I have found online is in Orlando but that's impractically far for me. I just really don't want to have to use tampons/pads anymore. Agh!

Masturbation-- urination afterwards?

[pirate-poet.livejournal.com]

After I masturbate-- usually this happens if I use my vibrator (a silver bullet)-- I find I have to pee afterwards.

Does anyone else get this?

Is it because all the bllod is down there and make me think I need to pee bc of "pressure"?

hymen

[said-goodbye.livejournal.com]

I got to thinking this morning...does the hymen have any kind of biological purpose?

I tried Google, but it didn't really offer any help. : \

In reference to the Sandworm post, I have a question. I'm so glad that post was made - as I have been trying for two days to decide what this particular part of my vagina is called and what is going on with it. Anyway onto my problem!

I've been having sex with my current boyfriend for about 3 months now and he's considerably well-endowed compared to most guys I've had consistent PIV sex with. After about a month, sex started getting painful. Which I attributed to his size and a lube issue.  Bought some astroglide and all was well for awhile. Then I began to have the whole sore, bruised urethra UTI coming on feeling - so I went out and bought some cranberry juice and some AZO pills and by the end of that day I felt fine, so I decided it wasn't a UTI - I must just really be *that* sore. And then, my vulva starts itching like crazy, so I'm like oh god, yeast infection! She and I have clearly been having issues lately - aside from the itching I had no other yeasty symptoms - so I got a hand compact and decided to investigate. Turns out, the flesh on one side of my vaginal opening is ripped - not just like a small tear - it is literally seperated. I have no idea in the 5 years I've been having sex how I have not even noticed these two pieces of flesh before, but they are there now - and they aren't happy. Now I've noticed that the itching is coming primarily from the tear. So we're definitely not having any kind of penetration for awhile till this heals up.

I'm just curious though - has this happened to anyone else? Does this warrant a trip to my GYN? Any advice on how to speed up the healing proceess that's vag friendly?

Do any of you ever get random ovary pain? Not just ovulation pain. I mean random, sharp ovary pain, that goes away after a while.

Missing period--NOT PREGNANT

[http://users.livejournal.com/_appassionata_/]

So my period is 2 weeks late, which is pretty unusual. That's only happened once before. I was sick but then I got better, I've been drinking (alcohol) an awful lot these past few weeks, and it's graduation so while I'm not under school stress there's a lot of emotional stress going on. I also know it's not because of body weight, although I am a relatively thin girl, like I said I've been consuming a LOT of carbohydrates lately and I think my body fat - muscle ratio is doing fine.

My question is, when should I worry about my missing period? I've taken two pregnancy tests so I'm not worried about that, but just...is it really unhealthy? Should I see a doctor if it goes on for too long? When is too long?

I like to know why my body is doing things...so aside from emotional stress, does alcohol have anything to do with missing periods? What about allergies (but not necessarily Sick)?

Thanks!

Slightly off-topic, but it's a humorous little commercial about sex and parents which I though some of you could appreciate.

pads / cups / blood love.

[mydearprophet.livejournal.com]

i've worn pads ever since my first period.

sure, they're a little uncomfortable sometimes, and sure they're a little bulky, but for some reason i just use them. i've got this thing with tampons - they scare me. i'm able to wear them and do if i'm bleeding and want to swim or am wearing a tight skirt or something of that nature, but otherwise, they just don't feel good to me and seem unhealthy. (not to knock any of you tampon-wearers, of course.)

where i live in rural kentucky, it seems like it's 94% tampons and 6% pads. every girl i've ever talked to about their periods have the attitude of "yuck, i don't want to deal with it." (i suppose i used to have the same view, but lately have begun to see my cycle as something beautiful. it hurts and can be an inconvenience, but still, that red comes from some powerful red and proud place within me.)

anyway! i have become interested in cups. if i want my mom to buy me one, i'll have to explain every detail to her, and i'm sure she'll be very, "ew!" about it. my super-awesome boyfriend would buy me one if i asked. i guess the only think holding me back is my own apprehension about them.

TO TIE THIS UP:

a.) is there really anything "wrong" with pads? is there a secret danger to them that i don't know about? do you ladies wear them?
b.) i know there have been a trillion cup-related posts, but do you think they would be compatible with a 17-year-old high schooler who has about 3 seconds between classes?


thank you! <333

i have an std question

[ais-chiq.livejournal.com]

a friend of mine (yes, seriously, it is a frined) asked me if she could get std's from dry-humping with her boyfriend, and i had no idea what to say to her. i told her yes cuz i have this vision of genital contact without penetration, but i'm not sure if she axually meant that....and she couldn't go into more details due to the company that decided to come and visit us just as she was asking (ie: her mom)....so could neone lemme konw what they think? i can email her and let her know if neone has any insight into this, cuz right now i'm stumped as to what std's she can catch (if he's not clean) or if that's even possible if i'm misunderstanding the process. thanx ^_^
