Can't get my lab results?

[anyamartinez.livejournal.com]

Last month, i went to a clinic to get a GYN examination and they took some blood for labwork. Since i haven't heard back, or had my sister tell me that the clinic had called, i'm thinking things should be ok...

I called them Friday morning to ask about it, and i was told that they did not give out information over the phone... but i can't go back anythime soon because the clinic is in Florida, and I am in Indiana. I'm not digging this.

If I jump through the HIPAA hoops, shouldn't i at least be able to schedule a callback from the nurse practitioner, or even get a report in the mail?

How do i get help with this?

I'm willing to call the NP on my dime, or send an addressed envelope if necessary.

pregnancy paranoia

[llama4u448.livejournal.com]

I had my Paragard IUD taken out on Thursday after it moved out of place. I had sex Saturday night and Monday night and only used my IUD as protection. I didn't take plan B when I had it removed and I had my period from the 9th to the 14th so its really early in my cycle. What do you guys think my chances of pregnancy are? My IUD wasn't partially expelled, but it was coming out of place. We decided to remove it instead of compromising my future protection. Would having the IUD in for 2.5 days after sex kill off/immobilize the sperm from these encounters?

Sex Question.

[jordazzzle.livejournal.com]

Okay so, I'm 18, I lost my virginity to my boyfriend and we've been dating for about four months now. I'm really new to the whole sex thing. I've talked to him about ways to make it better for him (he always asks me ways he can make it better for me)  he wouldn't answer the question just saying that I need to just get the basics down first (which i can understand, i'm REALLY inexperienced). I came from a family with three sisters and no brothers, so I basically know nothing about the male body/psychology or anything. So do any of you guys have any ideas on how I can improve our sexual experiences? As in, anything I can do for him, basically. Any suggestions are really really appreciated!

Freaked out/confused... period/spotting(?) on day of last active pill?

[torturedtoaster.livejournal.com]

Hello once again. I have yet another question about my crazy vagina.

I have been on birth control for a little over a year. For the first time ever, I decided to stack two packs. It was awesome skipping my period. Yay power! But.. here's the thing. I just took my last active pill of the bunch today, expecting my period on tuesday (it has ALWAYS come on the tuesday of my inactive week, no exceptions). I went about my day as usual.. went out to lunch with my boyfriend and some of my friends. When he and I got home, we were ready for some sex. I popped into the bathroom first and to my horror, there was blood all over my panties. Spotting or my period

My first thought: omg implantation bleeding??  The last time he and i had sex was last weekend.. and the weekend before that.. well. just about every weekend.

But I don't know if it's even necessarily spotting, or a light period. I feel like menstrual-esque cramps. :( I hope that it's my period, because if it is spotting I might get all pregnancy-paranoid. :(

What do you think? Is there any good reason this might be happening? Could it be cuz I stacked? I am so confused. help help. please and thank you.

I am a little planned parenthood ignorant =/

[https://users.livejournal.com/nomad----/]

I would like to look into perhaps a more affordable means of acquiring my HBC, ortho evra, as there are no generics for it at the moment and it is the only thing I can remember so far to use properly, but it costs 25 dollars a month, it would be 60 w.o. insurance but its still adding up as I only work part time at a min. wage job (boooo!). How much would planned parenthood charge me for Ortho Evra, does anyone have any clue? Thank you lovies <3

Non-hormonal IUD questions.

[natane.livejournal.com]

i went through the tagged entries but didn't really find answers.

one:
my boyfriend is fairly big and is perfectly capable of bumping my cervix.
i realize this is going to sound kinda stupid, but is any of the solid part of the IUD going to extend past my cervix? is there any way that he - or i, if i happen to have a hand up there - is going to feel anything other than the strings?

two:
how the heck do strings living in your vag make sense? i've been thinking this over and still can't figure it out. you're not even supposed to leave a tampon in for a long amount of time, since bacteria can make a nice little habitat out of it. can't bacteria start living in the strings?

third:
if i go into planned parenthood, with medicaid, what am i going to end up paying?
it's an NC planned parenthood if that makes any difference.

four:
i'm eighteen.
how much fuss am i going to have to put up before i can get an IUD?
i'm quite sure that i don't want to have children anytime soon - as in, within the next seven years or so. i really don't want to have to deal with that patronizing "well, you might change your mind, you're young, you never know" lecture. especially since the risk of PID in my case is very low, and if i did end up infertile, it really wouldn't be a major issue.

thanks for the help.
