Sunday my boyfriend and i decided to have sex for the first time and it didnt really hurt all that bad, but i bled a pretty good bit, enough to get on him,and everytime i whipe its there. the blood when i whipped was very light and went away by the next day, but the problem is.. when we were having sex i stopped him before we really got to go at it, because i was scared and just kinda lost the mood. So Tuesday we tried again only to just get started once again then my roommate came home so we had to stop, still i bled just a little, and only when i whipped. So last night we finally got to have sex and really have it.. it still hurt a little but blood got all over the bottom of his condom and when i went to the bathroom all that night i had blood when i whipped and it is still a little off color when ive whipped today.
Is it normal for a girls first few times to bleed this way, and my lower stomach has hurt pretty bad all these times too. My roommate and most of my friend either didnt bleed at all, or just a little..none did like i have, so im wondering if something is wrong or am i just made this way...any advice is helpful.

Spreading?

I read through the FAQ on UTI's but didn't see an answer to my question (or missed it or something)...

I've just gotten another UTI. The first time I had one, I was having sex with a guy the day or two before, and he also had gotten a UTI the same time I did. So this time, I was having sex again with a different guy, now I have a UTI - should I warn the guy?

a bunch of random questions...

[yeminforever.livejournal.com]

I have a few questions that are unrelated to each other...

I started taking Yasmin three Saturdays ago.. At first it was really difficult for me to remember to take it at the same time every day, but in the past week in a half Ive been able to be consistent. I'm not taking the pill as a form of birth control, as I am not sexually active, but I am really just trying to ease my period (I get atrocious cramps, and have ridiculously heavy bleeding throughout my period) I know that it is safe to skip periods, but do you think that it is an okay idea to do it this month since I have just started taking the pill? Should I wait til my cycle becomes regular on the pill before I stop taking the placebos? Im really very new to this, so any information would be fantastic. 

Also, I havent experianced any side effects that I can detect, as of yet. No weight gain or excessive hunger (that is what I was mostly afraid of) or mood changes... Except for maybe a little nausea (is this a common side effect or do you think its unrelated?) How long does it usually take for sideeffects to become noticable? Do you think its possible that I might still experiance negative side effects?

Finally, My left breast has been sore on and off for about a year. At first I thought it was just coorelating with my menstrual cycle, but as of recently, it's intensified and become more frequent. Ive tried to do a self breast exam but can not detect any lumps.. I am a 36D so if there was a lump close to my actual chest, I feel like i wouldnt be able to detect it.. Do you think this is anything to worry about? Occasionally my right breast is sore as well, but it is no where near as frequent or intense as the left.

Anyway, sorry for all of the rambling... I am a 19y/o an I have never visited a gynocologist. I know I should, but Im away at school for most of the year so it's hard to find time or resources..

cant orgasm during sex

[midnightsphinx.livejournal.com]

Alright, I have no proublem having an orgasm, or even multiple ones... but I cant recieve one through intercourse. This has never really bothered me, but I have been growing curious as to what that may feel like.

I have done different positions with my partner, and although they feel REALLY GOOD, its more of this consistent, "nice" feeling, as opposed to the rising peak of an orgasm.

Is there any tips you can give me? Or can some people just simple *not* orgasm during intercourse?

3 day old tampon

[perksof.livejournal.com]

yikes! Last weekend I stopped bleeding, but was still spotting. I put a tampon in either Monday or Tuesday and completely forgot about it until today. I just went to the bathroom and while wipping, I found a tampon. (It had no blood on it) I took it out immediately and made an appointment to see my Gyno on Tuesday to make sure I'm okay.

Last night, I went out to dinner and very soon after just a few sips of my drink I felt VERY drunk. After I got home I got pretty sick and today my abs were sore. This all makes sense now even though this is the first time I've made this mistake. Sitting here typing this, I'm dizzy.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? What should I do now?

Symptoms of pregnancy

[low-billions.livejournal.com]

What are the symptoms of pregnancy? Where can I find a chart detailing this or STD symptoms?

"My periods are too short!" (fairly urgent)

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Some background: I'm 21 and was on HBC from May 2003 and stopped taking it in January 2006, I started taking HBC for three reasons: ( Continued under the cut )

My problem is that I'm really not interested in going back onto HBC, I like not needing to remember to take a pill every evening, I also like knowing my body is doing what its supposed, but this is ridiculous!
So my lovely Ladies (and Gents), I ask; what can I do to lengthen my period that wouldn't require me to go back onto HBC?

Another little detail, in January I stopped using tampons and moved to the Mooncup and have been using it exclusively since.

Thank you so much in advance.

Prenatal vitamins and metal allergies

[burntbuffalo.livejournal.com]

My sister is a around three months pregnant. For the first almost two months she wasn't having morning sickness and was fine, then she was given prenatal vitamins from Planned Parenthood and she started getting morning sickness all the time. She was taking all the vitamins before, just in the form of several different suppliments throughout the day. My entire family is allergic to metals - if it's anything less than sterling silver or 14kt we break out. The tablets PP gave her had iron and nickle in them, and she started getting sick. She stopped taking them when she read the ingrediants and found the metals, but the morning sickness symptoms stayed. The question is: is it more likely a coincidence that the morning sickness started when she started the prenatals, or could the vitamins have actually jump started the morning sickness? Our mother said she knew she was pregnant about 3 days after conception because she got morning sickness immediatly (she might have exaggerated, but my sister has gone months with NOTHING)

Thanks :)
