I had sex today and during it there was a pain in my lower belly area, like between my belly botton and my crotch.  I felt it only when my boyfriend was behind me, if we were missionary I did not feel it.  Also, the very opening of my vagina began to hurt after we'd been going at it for a while.  Not the labia but sort of... the muscles, I guess, at the entrance of my vagina.  Has anyone experienced this before?  I have only recently begun having sex, so is it possible that part of my vagina is just not stretched enough yet?  The sex was a bit rough, and he was pushing in pretty deeply, and this is when I would feel the pain in my stomach area.  Does anyone know what the pain in my belly/vagina entrance is, or ways of making it go away?  It was getting in the way of me enjoying myself completely.

Also, I went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and there was some blood on the paper.  My period ended two or three days ago, so it may because of that.  But I am also worried that my boyfriend and I tore something inside of me by having rough sex?  Is that possible?  Will it heal on its own or should I go see a doctor?

Thank you!

 This is my first time posting here, I just have a small question. I've been masturbating for a number of years now and recently I have discovered that if I have a powerful enough orgasm I actually squirt all over the place. I have yet to have sex with someone but am planning on doing so soon. Should I be worried/embarrassed about this happening while with a partner? Also, any ideas for lasting longer amounts of time before the first orgasm?

Hello once again, labia ladies.

A few weeks back, I was diagnosed with BV by my ob/gyn and was prescribed 2 g (yes, you read that right) of Flagyl. Strong stuff, yes, but apparently not strong enough. I returned this past week and as it turned out, the BV was still present, along with yeast cells. For this, I was prescribed 1 applicator of Clindesse to be taken at night and two 150 mg doses of Diflucan, to be taken 72 hours apart. Well...clumsiness came into play when I applied the Clindesse and a bit of the cream (a tablespoon at most) slipped out of the applicator. I took the others as directed, but have been noticing that my symptoms are not really improving much. Along with the lack of relief of the symptoms (profuse discharge mostly), I've also found myself experiencing cramps and odd smelling urine. My period is coming on fast, so that could be cause for the cramps, but I can't explain the other. I was tested twice last year for STDs and results were negative both times. Now I'm worried that this infection may have "evolved" into something much larger (PIV? kidney problems?) and will require extensive treatment.

Basically...I'm wondering where to go from here! As always, thank you for your advice.

So I have been having the worst cramps all night. They come and go almost like contractions but as far as I know I am not pregnant.

I just started on ortho tricyclen lo. I did not take a pregnancy test before starting my pills since I have been having my period regularly and had no signs of being pregnant. I am supposed to be having my period right now. My period started on Sunday so I started my pills.  Well on Tuesday it disappeared. I have had light spotting but thats really it.

Earlier this evening I started getting these horrible sharp pains that feel like cramps. I normally don't have cramps like this. Ever. They will not stop. There is no specific timing to them and they are insanely painful. They get progressively worse then stop and I feel fine and all of the sudden it starts to hurt again and all of this repeats. I took a vicodin and they still are so bad I'm in tears. I have tried going to the bathroom and pushing when I get them because my first thought was that it was a clot trying to pass. While I was in the bathroom I noticed I have started bleeding again. It looks like regular period blood.

I am insanely paranoid that I was pregnant and starting my pills caused me to miscarry.  Could it be a miscarriage? Would a pregnancy test show a positive if I was pregnant? Could it just be side effects of the pill? Should I go to the doctor? Is it something else? What the heck is going on down there?

I was visitng my parents this weekend and by accident left my pills in the drawer. I just realized this morning, a day too late! I was on Yasmin and that was my last pack. This would be the beginning of my third week and I do not have another pack but I have a gyno apt on Saturday to ge that taken care of. However, I found an extra pack of Yaz from when I took that brand. I took one of the pills today to subsitute. Am I still protected even though I switched brands mid-pack? I am not too concerned with break-through bleeding.. I have ran Yasmin packs together before and not had a problem.

About a month ago I started hooking up with this guy. We've pretty much seen each other every day since then, and have had sex many times. However, we haven't had oral sex very often. The first time I gave him head was about 3 weeks ago. The next day I had a sore throat, and few days after I had developed white spots on my tonsils. I went to the Dr. and she told me I had strep throat. I took Amoxicillin and it went away after a couple days. However, I didn't tell her about the oral sex, because at the time I hadn't thought about a possibility of the 2 being connected.

So last night I had oral sex with him again. He didn't cum, and we went on to have unprotected sex (he pulled out). Sure enough, I wake up this morning to an extremely painful sore throat. It feels exactly like how it felt a few weeks ago, which makes me worry that they are both from going down on him. I'm really scared, and feel really stupid for having unprotected sex and being so careless. 

Do you guys think it could be an STI? Is it possible for it to show up so immediately? I'm freaking out, because we've also had unprotected sex several times over the past few weeks. He was a virgin until we started having sex, but I'm pretty sure he received a blow job a long time ago. If it was an STI wouldn't he have symptoms? Also, wouldn't I have symptoms related to my genital area also?

I'm ashamed to admit that I really don't know anything about STIs (STDS?). I don't have any bumps or discharge or anything. Is a sore throat a symptom of an oral STI? What could it be? Would a simple dose of antibiotics cure it? Is it okay to take antibiotics twice in less than 2 months?

My younger sister is fourteen and she's been sexually active for a couple years and I'm really worried that she isn't being safe. I've given her the rundown about contraceptives and STD's several times but I don't think that made much of an impact on her. I've also gotten her condoms but I don't know if she uses the consistently. I would like her to go on hormonal birth control but I don't think my parents would approve, they are still in denial that she's having sex. If she went to the gynecologist and got a prescription for birth control would the doctor have an obligation to discuss it with my parents? And would she be able to get the prescription filled monthly without their knowledge? We live in Michigan and have TriCare Prime military health insurance if that helps at all.

So this is a little more than embarrassing for me but I figured I'd ask.
On occasion when I shower I'll notice little white bumps on my nipples.
I'll pinch them and white stuff will come out, sorta like a pimple. It's not like a yellowish tint like a pimple though.
It's just white.
Does anyone know what this is?

I've watched this community for awhile now and it's incredibly inspiring that a place like this exists for women. Because of this community and through the help of some close friends and LOTS of research I've made a lot of progress in making healthy choices for my body and viewing myself, my body, and being a woman in a very positive light.

Now I want to do something (anything!) to help other women view their bodies positively. I would love to go back to school and do something with women's health, but my bachelor's degree is in no way geared towards that--and I also really want to get an MBA. At least for the next few years, going back to school isn't really even an option, but I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for organizations I could get involved with to help promote women's health/positive body images.

I'm currently living in Massachusetts, but I'll be relocating somewhere (still looking for a job......) in the next few months, but still hopefully in the New England area.

Any suggestions for getting involved?

Thanks!

Help?

Okay, so you guys were really helpful with my last question and I am turning to you all again. Since I discovered the art of masturbation (lol) I have always used my fingers, however I am very curious about using toys and stuff. I am way too embarrassed to go to a store to buy a vibrator or something like that, so have any of you found safe alternatives that work just as well for penetration, vibration etc?

All right ladies. I know this has been asked multiple times in different situations, but I could really use some reassurance. I am 20 and have not visited a Gyno yet because of my total embarrassment of "down there". My labia seem to be larger than normal, and while I am very happy and have been sexually active with my one (and only!) for over a year- I feel really insecure about it. Women are all sizes down there, right? I know it's stupid because they've probably seen everything but I keep thinking that every woman who walks in to be checked has picture perfect small labia/lips.. and mine are not. I would like to get checked sometime this year. So am I perfectly ok? Worried about nothing? Thanks.

so yesterday i made my first trip to good vibrations and bought my first vibrator, the turbo glider. i was (am!) thrilled about it. so last night i'm in bed, gettin' ready to make a new best friend, when i realized something.

i have no idea what to do with it! i get the part where it vibrates and then you have a magical orgasm that doesn't involve finger cramps, but i'm missing all of the in-between. i mean...where should i start? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WITH THIS THING?! i really want this to work out...but i'm just really overwhelmed by it.

thanks all...i kinda feel like a nitwit for having to ask this, but hey, at least i have a medium in which to do the asking?

 The last two times I've had sex, I've noticed afterward I am bleeding. The bleeding is not very heavy, but obviously noticeable. Usually takes about an hour to stop. The flow is similar to that of the very last day of my period, where I don't really need a tampon because it's so light. At first I just though I was getting my period early, but it stopped, and now it's happened again after sex. 

I'm looking it up online but wanted to know your all's opinions. Ever happen before to you? Thoughts on what it could be? If this normal?

Also I'll mention the sex was not particularly rough, I believe I was on top most of the time, but that's fairly normal. And there was no pain or discomfort.

okay, so this just started happening today and I'm more than a little confused/freaked out/loving the whole situation.

In the past eight months or so, I've only been sexually active three times (two of those time being in the last two weeks. The most recent was on thursday). The last time it happened, I got put into a position that was a totally new angle for me, but it was good. We used a condom.

Flash forward to today, when I went to pee and noticed light red/brown-ish stains in my underwear. I've been on the pill for at least 5 years (i'm 21) and had my period regularly about two weeks ago. I should be getting it again in about a week. Although, I should mention that I've been pretty irregular with taking my pill lately, I do usually take it within four hours of the right time. I can honestly say I've never noticed any spotting in between periods for as long as I've been getting it. Anywho, when I started to pee, I felt the most INTENSE pressure on the inner, front wall of my vag. I've been drinking a lot of water today, and since about four in the afternoon, I've continued to feel the pressure when I've just been sitting around, although it's not as intense as when I pee. It's not necessarily bad pressure... it actually feels quite good. Anyway, I wipe and there's blood on the tp, sometimes small clots.

So... WTF? I honestly have no idea what is going on right now, and while the pressure is good, it's kind of freaking me out in an "OMGWTFBBQ" sort of way. I mean, my parents visited me today, and I felt more than a little awkward sitting there with a touch of the 'gasm in my pants, haha.

When I pull a tampon out, especailly if it hasn't absorbed much blood, it gets like snagged on something when I pull it out, and sometimes makes a little little popping noise and then it comes out easily. Is it just that its getting stuck behind my hymen or something?

Also ; I know some foods can lower birth control effectivness. What are some really common things I need to avoid? Also any over-the-counter medications that would react to it? I just read about grapefuit in a past post. I'm so paranoid I'll have a favorite food and be snacking away on it and lowering my birth control. Is there a list somewhere?
