pregnant?

[tifftails88.livejournal.com]

its been about a week since i had unprotected sex and im supposed to get my period sometime during the next week or two. Im not sure if this is too soon to feel anything but ive been really sic the past 3 days. my boobs are sore im been extremely gassy, i keep getting dizzy spells one of which nearly made me pass out today. ive been nauseaus all day and i keep getting sudden urges to throw up. but the dizzyness and faint feelings are causing the nausea sometimes so i keep eating because it seems to make the feeling go away. but it comes back within the hour. Im just being paranoid right?

Irritation from pad

[starry3yedgrl.livejournal.com]

Lately my pad at the end of my period has been bothering me.  I use tampons in the beginning, but by the last day or so when it's too light to use a tampon but too heavy for nothing, I use Always pads with wings (the regular size, unscented).  But lately it seems like the pad is really irritating me down there....I think I change it often enough, but it seems like after even just an hour or so I feel kind of "suffocated" down there and by the end of the day I'm really irritated.  Today I had a bit of a smelly discharge along with the irritated feeling (though the discharge and smell was just for a few hours, I am feeling ok now).  I don't think it's the specific pad (like the brand or anything) it's just the mere fact of having a moist pad about against my girly parts for any length of time, but this is what I've always done, why am I having issues suddenly?  Anyone else experience this?

is this normal?

Hi lovely VP. It's me again.

See, this morning I got up and felt a gush and thought I had FINALLY gotten my period. But nope. Just this wet spot on the crotch of my panties and some white-and-clear, almost snot-like stuff (that sounds bad, doesn't it). But not quite so mucus-y and thick as snot? It's hard to describe. It doesn't smell weird, just a bit yogurty like vagina tends to.

I've included a picture under the cut for those of you brave enough.
( Panties ahoy )

Does this sound/look normal to you? This happened to me a few days ago as well.
I want my period already D: (I took a pregnancy test yesterday, even though I'm using hormonal birth control - it came back negative ♥ so now I'm just waiiiiiting for Auntie Flo to come round)

Diaphragms

[lulad.livejournal.com]

Because my body has made it very clear to me that I can't be on hormonal birth control, I've been looking into getting a diaphragm and I have some questions about them:

Most importantly, can a man feel it in during sex? Can I feel when it's in?

Do I have to use spermicide?

Are they hard to take in and out?

And lastly, I read I have to go to a doctor to get it fitted, and I'm sure this is a stupid question, but what kind of doctor? A regular one or a gynecologist?

Cramps? Miscarriage?

[kill-inhibition.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what's going on with my body. Earlier this month I had a period and then it stopped for a week and started up again even heavier. For the past 5 days I have had seriously painful cramps and the weirdest heaviest bleeding. It looks like there's little veins in the blood and sometimes it's full of what looks like bloody mucous. Right now my stomach hurts a lot and I'm not having a good time, the cramps feel eerily similar to contractions. This morning I felt sick from it. I should also say I have PCOS and average at 3 periods a year until recently where I've had one three months in a row for the first time ever. I'm not used to menstrual cramps at all so I don't know if what I'm experiencing could be that.

Someone thought maybe it was a miscarriage. During my first and only pregnancy (to my knowledge) I didn't have any clue until I was expecting until 7 months in so I'm hesitant to think I was/am pregnant again or experiencing a miscarriage. Even though I've been pregnant, it seems so unlikely for whatever reason and I don't want to read too much into it. 

Is it more likely that this is a weird period, a miscarriage, or something else all together? 

I'm making a doctors appointment tomorrow but I wont be able to get in until Wednesday. Any insights are helpful. 

Pimples?

Ugh. Horrible infected pimple on the outside...pretty positive it's "just" a pimple, nothing more exciting/alarming.
But how do you treat a pimple somewhere so close to your most sensitive bits?? :(

A burning question (har)

[sweetoldetc.livejournal.com]

Question - I spent the past couple nights with a guy during the course of which he fingered me somewhat intensely a few times. We did not ever have actual sex. Today whenever I pee there's been an accompanying burning sensation. I know that often this is a sign of some sort of infection, but I usually only hear of that happening in conjunction with PIV sex. Is it possible that something is wrong down there as a result of only fingering, or is it possible my vagina is just a little agitated and will calm down with a few days' rest?

Thanks!

Fist pump!

 I got my period a couple hours ago.

I made some parsley tea (thanks to a website I found on here) because I should have been cramping today and I wasn't. So about six hours after I drank two cups, I started feeling warm-ish and went to the bathroom.. voila!

THANK GOODNESS!

I guess I didn't need the pregnancy test after all... but I will be getting on the birth control pill ASAP. It will definitely be worth the extra money so I don't have to go through this extra worrying anymore.

Thanks to everyone who helped me through this scary time. I needed it!
