Early period?

[deadbeatdancer.livejournal.com]

 Hi everyone. I posted in here about a week ago with my predicament/pregnancy scare. You can read it all if you want, or I could sum it up.  Essentially, I had unprotected sex shortly after my period ended. We used the pull out method and took as many precautions as necessary. Nevertheless, I am an extreme hypochondriac and I was terrified of being pregnant. I obsessed over "symptoms" to the point where I wasn't sure if it was in my mind or not. Panic attacks ensued.

Since I last posted, I began getting noticeable blue veins on my left breast, and also started noticing more pronounced veins around my pelvic area.  That was the symptom that has me 99.9 percent sure that I was pregnant. Is it even possible that my mind could make that happen? I even started looking into abortion...I was that convinced. UNTIL YESTERDAY...when I got what seems to be my period.

Ordinarily, that would be a good sign, right? Well, I am still not entirely convinced that I am in the clear. I wasn't expecting my period until Saturday. It came two days early. I am positive this is not implantation bleeding or any kind of spotting, because it is a decent amount of blood and it is a dark red/bright red shade. It looks like my period, but I have heard about women having bleeding that they mistook for their period, only to be pregnant. 

Here is what I am thinking:
1) I am not pregnant. My period only came early because I was stressed to the nines. Also, I've recently switched to a vegan diet and perhaps that has something to do with it.

or

2) I am actually pregnant and this is some sort of other bleeding.

Thoughts, suggestions, and etc? Thank you everyone. You're lovely. :)

Cut on my hood! Help?

[isunreal.livejournal.com]

I feel really stupid, lol. Yesterday I had to sit in my boyfriend's car for a couple of hours while we waited for my car to get fixed. I sat in the same position the whole time, and apparently my underwear/pants were in a strange position. When I stood up, I felt a stinging sensation as my clothes kind of peeled off my vulva. Now today, I am very sore there. It feels like a cut and it is VERY sensitive to touch. I got a mirror to try to take a look, and I can see what looks like a thin cut or a rip on my hood, on top of my clitoris. Is there anything I can put on it to help it heal? As of now I'm trying to just keep it clean and not move at all.

It hurts to sit, it hurts to move in any way. It figures that this happens now because I just received a big promotion at work - my position does not allow me to call out. I'm panicking because I'm in so much pain, how can I work like this? It helps if I put pressure on it, but I can't exactly keep my hand there when I'm in public lol.

Would it help the pain to put Vaseline or something like that on it? Has anybody had any similar experiences? Thanks.

antibiotics and BC

[new---noise.livejournal.com]

hi everyone..i have sinusitis and my doc gave me some amoxicillin when i met with her yesterday. im on birth control (junel) and have been on it since mid feb. i have heard that some antibiotics can interact with BC or make it not work correctly so i am wondering if anyone could shine light as to why this is? also, do i have to be concerned about my protection being compromised while im on this particular antibiotic? ive been on it for 24 hours now, and have had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend (last night and just now) and it just dawned on me. any info or advice is appreciated!

edit: forgot to say that he did not ejaculate in me either time!


edit again: hm im kind of confused. so should i be using condoms as well? my boyfriend doesnt usually ejaculate in me at all, so would i still be at risk even if he doesnt? im curious because im getting some conflicting opinions here and i wanna be safe! i really dont like the idea of having to use condoms for two weeks if i dont have to..and its interesting because my phamacist didnt mention anything to me about my BC being compromised, where as in the past she has about other things..there is also no label on the pill bottle stating anything like that. it does mention it a bit in the pamphlet i got along with it..now im just sort of getting paranoid! or am i overreacting?
