the pill, body behaviour, and other?

I tend to think of questions randomly, and then they build up. So...don't mind the jumping around and general randomness of these questions.

Chances of getting pregnant?

[ohohbriiiiana.livejournal.com]

Im 16 & i've been on the pill for over a year now. My boyfriend and I are sexually active BUT we havent had sex.
His penis, however, has been close to my vagina and i understand that pre-cum can cause you to get pregnant without penetration.

Last night he had his hmm near my hmm and afterward reminded me to take my birth control. In the past when we have done this it didnt worry me much because i know the chances are slim, but when i went to take my pill i realized that i was on day 14 which is/near ovulation. & for some reason because he reminded me to take my pill it made me think about it more and more.

SO, what are my chances of getting pregnant? I've been on the pill for over a year but my boyfriends sperm could have possibly gotten in me and im on day 14 in my cycle.

any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

A lot of discharge

[stumbling-in.livejournal.com]

Hey VPers!

Well I'm a gal that has quite a bit of discharge, so much so that if I didn't know it wouldn't be healthy for my ladybits I'd wear pantyliners daily.
I'm not too bothered by this, even if it is a little uncomfortable, but I'd like to go commando every once in a while as I have for a couple of minutes before, but got too worried about discharge getting on my clothing or legs.

My boyfriend returns from Iraq in about 4 months, and I'd reeeally like to surprise him by not wearing any underwear when I meet him at the airport, but the whole discharge getting on my clothing or legs doesn't sound too hot.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Or am I just not meant for letting my ladybits roam free (haha)?

small bump in vaginal area

[poorple.livejournal.com]

Hi Friends. Hope you're all having a great weekend.

So I just took a shower and noticed a very very small bump to the left of my clitoris. It's tiny, raised, and kind of hard feeling. Not really hard, but not soft like a pimple either. I masturbated last night, and the bump is kind of in the area where my finger was. The area is a bit sore from masturbating, but it doesn't seem like the bump is. But, I've masturbated before many times in the same way, and never acquired a bump in the area. And "bump" isn't exactly the right term because it's so small- but I'm not really sure what to describe it as.

Additionally, I haven't had sex in 6 months and I'm not pregnant. I also had my annual gyno appt last week and everything was fine. Just FYI.

I used a mirror to look at it and it doesn't look aggravated at all. Just a very small bump. And there is only one.

I doubt it's anything to be worried about, I just get freaked out whenever there's anything "abnormal" in that area. Any ideas what it is?

Thanks ladies! xoxo.

Abortion?

[xvxsmittyxvx.livejournal.com]

I just recently found out i'm prego, at this point in my life i know me and my boyfriend are not ready for baby. We're still young and immature. 

For the abortion part i was wondering what is the easiest type of abortion to go with, the medicine one or the vaccume type one. 

Im really scared of doing the vaccume one. But i also heard with the medicine one you get horrible cramps and can bleed up to four weeks.

Anyone who has had one which on do you prefer?

Skipped period and excess discharge.

[tentongoldfish.livejournal.com]

I think I've skipped my period for this month.

I have an excess of discharge, however. I've never had this happen when I've skipped previously, so does this mean anything, and should I be concerned? There's no chance that I'm pregnant (I'm a virgin) and I don't have any real medical problems, but I'm taking hydroxyzine (my doctor said it shouldn't have an effect on this sort of stuff).

It doesn't *really* bother me, as I just stick on a pantyliner and go about my day, but I am kind of wondering.

Thanks!

Pregnancy?

[tool007.livejournal.com]

My girlfriend was taking some medicione which rendered the effect of the pill temporarily useless. However, even knowing this, we had unprotected (read: no condom) sex while she was on her period (yeah, pretty foolish...) twice. Is there a very high risk of her being pregnant...?

Also, during this month, every time we had sex we didn't use a condom, since the pill eventually restarted it's effect. Do you think it's safe to have sex without using a condom, thus relying solely on the pill?

Thanks in advance!

kind of funny story

[essos.livejournal.com]

So I was masturbating a couple hours ago and started feeling this little, stinging pain. I suck it up and keep going, have my orgasm and the pain is still there when I touch my clitoris. I'm thinking, 'Well, I have masturbated or had sex every day for 5 days. A little soreness is normal.'

So then, I'm sitting on the couch and lean forward to get up. 'OUCH!' The same little pain in my clit. I do it again (the seam of my jeans was pressing it perfectly). I touch it to try to investigate. And it HURTS. Finally I go to the bathroom, grab a mirror and check things out. What do I find?

One measley little pubic hair was stuck up in my clitoral hood, barely poking out for me to notice.

Oh man, anatomy...

unrelated questions: chin hair and pinups

[shallwekissluv.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone

I had a couple questions. Both are completely unrelated but they were on the brain so here goes. 

1. Do any of you ever get little black hairs on your chin area? I pluck them out. They randomly sprout. Never really understood them.

2. How do you feel about classic/modern pin up girls? Do you think they degrade women or send a message of powerful sexuality?

Looking For Lube

[into-amystika.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a lube that A) does what it's supposed to do (lubricate of course), B) doesn't dry sticky, C) doesn't leave a bitter taste (doesn't have to be flavoured, just not nasty tasting), and D) doesn't stain blankets. So far the only kind I've found that I like is Wet Platinum, but I can only find sample sizes. So, do any of you have suggestions on a good lube?

Also, what is your favourite kind and why?

Virginity Question

[http://users.livejournal.com/---3x5/]

So this is slightly awkward / embarrassing.

I'm 18, 19 in June...and have not lost my virginity yet. Keep in mind, I have done everything besides lose my virginity, yet I still have the V-Card. I feel so out of place by having my virginity still, sometimes, and I feel like I can comfortably post this here. My friends have all lost theirs in a race to get it over with, and partially regret it. I don't want to end up like that, ad I know I won't rush into things. But I'm also ready to just start enjoying sex...it gets very frustrating, because I know the first time is important, but I also just want to make love on a regular basis and just feel good because of it. I'm also pretty nervous to find a guy who will like me, but then dislike me because I have yet to lose my virginity. I know people say that "no guy that's worth your time will ever do that", but I still get worried. I haven't dated someone in about a year, and before it wasn't a problem with the person I was dating. But now as I go forward to my sophomore year of college...I'm wondering if it will be hard to find a reasonable guy who won't mind.

so I guess my question is, how old were you when you lost your virginity, and how long had you been with this person before losing it to them? Also, do you regret it, wish the circumstances were different, etc.?

what to expect from seeing Dr. for bad cramps

[hardlyso.livejournal.com]

In a few weeks I have a Dr. appt scheduled. My mom wants me to talk to her about the fact that I have always had really bad cramps, and they have gotten worse over the past 6 months.

I WILL NOT tell the doctor that I am sexually active (oral, not PIV) if my mom is in the room. I also will not ask my mom to not be in the room, so please don't encourage me there :). It is crucial that she not know I am, just take my word for it. If my mom is not around, I will tell the Dr. I have oral sex, with 1 STD/I free guy. <-- mentioning in case that would affect the below questions.


What all could the doctor do about it? Is HBC the only possible option? If we have state insurance, how much would HBC cost, approximately? (Really just shooting for a generalization.)

Thanks!
PS. I have read a lot recently about your body changing once you become sexually active or are on HBC. If I started having oral sex/masturbating with penis-sized objects/getting off allll the time 2 years ago... would my "hormonal changes" have kicked in then? Does your body really change on HBC? (bigger boobs?)

Weight Watchers and BC / Bikini Zone?

[tinydancer7.livejournal.com]

i have two totally unrelated topics i want to address.

1) i've been doing Weight Watchers for a little over a month now. i've lost about 8 pounds, and that's nothing to sneeze at, really. but 5 of those 8 pounds came off during the placebo week of my birth control pills (LevLite). i'm not really looking for an answer to anything specific... but do you guys think it was just a coincidence? or is this how i should expect to lose weight--once every 4 weeks? haha. i gained about 25 pounds since i started BC (2.5 years ago), so i'm not really questioning the fact that it effects my weight.

2) i've seen commercials for a product called Bikini Zone that claims to remove red bumps from the bikini area. it seems a little too good to be true. i've got some righteous bumps around my bikini area, and i'm looking for a way to get rid of them before i start wearing a bathing suit regularly. is Bikini Zone something to try?
