Hi all!

So... I was a goof and messed up. I was supposed to start my new HBC pack on Saturday-- It's Monday today, so I'm 2 days late (2 missed pills).

I did some research, and it looks like:
If you missed 2 or more active (hormonal) pills or if you started a pack 2 or more days late

1. Take 2 active (hormonal) pills as soon as possible and then continue taking pills daily. You should take 2 pills on the same day. You may take one at the moment of remembering, and the other at the regular time or both at the same time.
2. Also, use condoms or abstain from sex until you have taken active (hormonal) pills for 7 days in a row.
3. If you missed the pills in the third week of the pack, you should continue taking the active (hormonal) pills in your current pack daily. When all active pills have been taken, discard the pack and begin a new pack the next day. You should not take the 7 inactive pills.
4. If you missed the pills during the first week and had unprotected sex you should use emergency contraception for maximum protection, in addition to taking today's active birth control pill.


So... I know that I should take 2 pills when I get home today. So that takes care of today's pill and one of the missed pills. What about the second missed pill though? Do I take 2 pills today and 2 pills tomorrow? It's been a while since I last had sex, as I had my period last week... so that I last had sex about 7-9 days ago, pre-period. I think I should be okay in this regard with pregnancy?

And I should be fully protected by next weekend, right? (no sex this weekend with the holidays-- both bf and I will be at our respective families' places).

Pill woes

HBC question.

I've been on Alesse 21 for a number of years no problem. This time around my doctor by accident gave me a script for Alesse 28 this time around. Is there really any difference between 21 and 28 strength wise? I'm asking because I am experiencing some spotting and I'm only on week one of my pill. I have not missed any and I've taken it around the same hour each day.

However, could it also be due to the following:
- I had a UTI last week, so I've been on the antibiotic since last Tuesday
- I have lost 10 pounds since the summer

I know the antibiotic can make HBC less effective, I've taken HBC and UTI antibiotics before but I've never experienced spotting. Is this most likely what is happening?

Heya

Today and yesterday I've noticed my panties stained with yellow discharged and still really damp, with a weird strong odour. I don't remember my discharge ever being like this before, do you think it's anything to worry about? 
I've never had anything wrong down there before and became sexually active 3 months ago.

Thanks!

Sorry, it won't let me select a tag :S

I've been on Portia for about a year, stacking up for a few months at a time to not have to deal with a period. I think the last time I took the sugar pills was 5 or 6-ish months ago. I've never experienced any spotting before, but now I am.

I've been spotting for the last 4 days, to the point where I go through a pantyliner every 7-8 hours. I've also been experiencing some mild cramping, almost like a period but not as bad.

I'm wondering if I should just stop taking the pills for 7 days and let my body reset itself? Or should I just keep taking them and hope this stops soon? I'm not sexually active so I don't need them for that, I just really don't want to deal with a period if I don't have to.

 Sorry if it is inappropriate to ask this here but the sextips community seems now defunct and I'm hoping some vagina superstars will have some insight. I'm having some difficulty with my new partner as lube dulls sensations for him and makes it basically impossible for him to cum and my vadge dries out and hurts without lube. (If you have another community you would rather I post this in please let me know) 

I'm a girl whose obsessed with lube, I love it, I need it, I feel like my vadge dries out without out during sex. My new boy is extremely well-endowed and is un-circumcised. Generally for me -esp since his penis is so large- I need lube. Also, the fact that bf takes a while to cum (we are talking twenty plus minutes)  only exacerbates the drying out of my vagina cause at a certain point it just doesn't feel that great, y'know? Sex feels good to me, I love it, but i pretty much can only orgasm from clitoral stimulation. I've tried using vibe or fingers on my clit while he is in me to stimulate me but its hard to concentrate and I am having trouble finding the right position for that.

The real issue is that my boy can't really  have sex with lube. Lube dulls out sensation for him (I'm guessing its because he is uncircumcised but I could be totally wrong). Basically he keeps going and going and at a certain point gives up because he just isn't feeling anything and it makes sex super frustrating and sad face for both of us. 

I've tried using diff types of lube and it doesn't really have an effect. I've tried giving him a blow job before hand to make him cum faster but I'm having difficulty adjusting my technique to an uncircumcised penis and blow jobs don't really do it for him. I dont think its lack of experience that is making him say that since he is almost 28 and been with many partners but he has never even come close to cumming from oral. We have tried without lube but no matter how aroused I am before hand (or how much he has gotten me off orally) by the time i'm having penetrative sex for ten/fifteen minutes I just can't take it anymore and it hurts.

PLEASE. I welcome ideas. It is really really upsetting and I would love to get this problem resolved. 

EDIT: We aren't using condoms or any sort of physical barrier that could potentially be effecting sensation for him.

For the last few months I've felt some pressure in my pelvic region. I decided to check my vaginal passage amd I noticed there was a bulge up ther,e but it never stopped me doing anything like having sex or using a tampon. Now it's gotten worse, it's nearly takes up the whole passage. When I press on it, it makes me urinate a bit. And when I strain it lowers. The thing is, I'm only 21. I have IBS with chronic constipation, asmtha so I cough a lot, and allergies so I sneeze loads and read they all put stress on your pelvic muscles.

I have a doctor's appointment on wednesday, but my period is due today/tomorrow so I'm thinking of going in as an emergancy..
