missed periods

[lala-luvyou.livejournal.com]

here goes...
I've been on birth control since august, switch bc brand in december and I stopped taking it in March and I didn't take it this month either. I've taken my pills same time, everyday. My periods got really light, they turned into three day instead of five, sometimes I didn't even really get one.
When I was on the pill, we didn't really use condoms and he pulled out every time. We have used condoms every time in March and April.

I may have had one in March, I don't really remember because it was so light. I do remember taking a test and it coming out negative.
I didn't get my period this month. My body did have the pre-period symptoms and my bf was convinced I was getting it since I tasted like iron...well..bloodish (sorry for tmi) but I never got it. I took two more tests and they came out negative.

I've also had some weird stuff happening like utis and yi that are super rare for me.
Can I assume that I'm not pregnant after three negative tests and I'm simply missing my period because my body is off balance from my pills/weird infections?

I'm a worrier. I have an appointment for the doctor this week too.

Home remedies for balancing vaginal PH?

What are your preferred natural/DIY remedies for a vagina whose PH balance has been thrown out of whack? In the past, I've tried the yogurt thing, as well as using apple cider vinegar douches, and they never worked.

Super light period after BC pill switch?

[smallwonders8.livejournal.com]

I just switched pill brands (now on Yaz). I Started bleeding on the second day of the placebos but it's been sooo light. I'm certainly not complaining...just wondering if this is normal or could be a sign of implantation bleeding or something. I've been using light tampons since it's started, but it's left only a bit of blood.

Thanks!

Can anyone help? Allergic to sex!

[helpme11111.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, I'm having so much trouble and anxiety because of this stupid issue and I want to know if anyone has any advice.

sorry for the long backstory but it's necessary:

Over the summer I had sex with my summer fling.  We did it both with and without condoms.    Every time we would have sex, my vagina would feel very uncomfortable the next day--sore and itching a little--and I thought this might be normal for something a little rough.  (I have had sex before and never had more than a tiny bit of soreness, even when the sex was painful).  Then 2-3 days later, after every time, I would be in AGONY itching and burning, and it just can't be only friction as a problem (especially because I was in no pain during the sex).

After this terrible experience I went to the doctor and I was tested for all STDs, HPV, (and also for HIV 6 months later). I was also tested for any bacterial infections and came up negative.  But by that point (3 weeks later) the discomfort had gone away and the fling had ended, so I forgot about this problem.  My gynecologist's response when I told her this problem was "maybe he was doing it wrong," which I found very funny at the time but it's not helping me now.

I was basically abstinent for a number of months (just didn't meet anyone) and then two weeks ago had sex with a new guy.  We used a condom and it was a little rough, and I felt very uncomfortable the next day, burning and itching, and then just as before it got worse the next day and then went away after 3 or 4 days. Then that weekend I had sex with a different guy (i know, I know, don't judge) with a condom again, and it was extremely pleasurable, not rough at all, no pain at all, and then next day I was very uncomfortable, and the day after it was back to the itching and burning.  It has now been 5 days later and I'm feeling totally 100% better.  

This can't be just a problem with friction, because I know I have not always reacted to sex this way, and the itching and burning is too intense and unlike the slight discomfort I have felt before after having rough sex.  It could absolutely be some type of infection that flares up when I have sex because of the invasion (?), but all my symptoms completely dissapear and the last time I was tested was about 4 weeks ago.  If it was something I developed from the sex, I wouldn't expect it to go away within a few days as it has every time. 

What do I do?  I've read so many things about probiotics, maintaining PH balance with boric acid, etc.  But many women use these methods to get rid of infections, and I honestly don't think I have one!  I have had BV in the past and got rid of it with a clyndamycin cream, which I loved.  I was tested before and after to make sure the infection had gone, and I didn't have it after the summer or 4 weeks ago.

I am literally afraid and reluctant to have sex and that is so terrible.  It doesn't appear to be a problem with latex or semen as it happens with or without a condom, and I know I react badly to spermicide so I never use it.  I was also on the birth control pill when I had this first experience over the summer, and am off it now, so I know it's not related to the pill.  



Eta: I will try lube, BUT I have had bad dry sex before and my reaction was different: sore and swollen. This is not swollen at all...but I will try!

I will also try non-latex condoms...BUT I have had this problem both with and without condoms used on different days. I also have had no problems with latex condoms in the past 6 years (but I also had no problems with sex...)

What do I have?  I'm not embarrassed to call my doctor--it's just the last time I did, she didn't have anything to diagnose. If you google itching/soreness after sex it leads to people who have developed all these problems, but my problem is an immediate reaction that disappears.  I'm allergic to sex all of a sudden!  Help!

Nasty smelling menstrual blood

[anodracs.livejournal.com]

Hey all, this is a really embarrassing question, but here goes...
I'm currently having my period, and I've been noticing something that seems to be becoming worse and worse with each cycle. My menstrual blood smells awful, to the point where changing pads is almost making me gag. As far as I know, I've never had bacterial vaginosis, or even a yeast infection. I don't stink down there the rest of the month, but during my period I'm extremely worried that people will smell me. I have endometriosis and a heavy flow, but I don't see how that would affect smell. It's bad enough that my period is heavy, painful and generally distasteful, but I'm at my wits end with the horrid stink!
Suggestions or comments, please?

Period and Masturbation Question

[vanillite.livejournal.com]

Hiya all, 

I have my period currently, but I decided to masturbate using my vibrator anyway. All was fine, but shortly after orgasming I found I bled out a rather large blood clot and instead of the usual, dark red that my period normally is the blood was yep, bright red and thinner in consistency. I
put my menstural cup back in (I took it out to masturbate) afterwards. 

My first though was that I irritated my cervix a little (if it makes a difference I haven't had sex in a long time) and that was the culprit but honestly I wanted to check with some more knowledgeable people before letting my head get the better of me. 

Thanks!
