Hi,
I'm 17-years-old and I had intercourse for the very first time today with my boyfriend...and yes, we did used a condom. Now, about 3 hours after we had sex, I feel gassy, a crampy and a little bloated. The gass is actually very painful at times. Is this normal? As for my cycle, incase thats what is causing my discomfort, its about 32 or 33 days and I'm on day 25 or 26.
Please help.
Thanks!

I had sex for the first time three days ago. He wore a condom but came inside of me. He checked the condom after for holes and he told me that the condom didn't break. Since the day we had sex, i've felt bloated and gassy and had some cramping in my lower abdomen. I'm seventeen and absolutely terrified. All of my friends have said that I shouldn't worry if the condom didn't break, but I am looking for a professional opinion. thank you!

Hello Anonymous,

You should have been protected because your partner wore a condom and it did not fail.

Stress and anxiety could be the reasons you are feeling bloated, gassy and having some lower abdominal cramping.

Im 16 and I had protected (with condom) sex with my boyfriend on the 5th of this month, I'm not sure when my last period was or when I am suppose to get it. But I feel bloated and my stomach kinda hurts, I also get cramps at the top of my stomach and near my vagina sometimes. I don't have vomiting, or any other symptom of pregnancy. I'm not sure if this is the problem but I was bloated a few days ago and so I took 6 tablets of vitamin c to try and get my period and it just got worse (no period) . I have no spotting and I'm pooping/peeing and eating regularly. My stomach is just really bloated, I haven't got my period yet and don't know when it will come and my stomach gets cramps sometimes. I'm so scared and I am super stressed about it and overthinking every 2 seconds please help me. We did use lubricant along with the lubed condom and we took it off once when it wasn't inside me to put a new condom on and he never ejaculated until later (into condom)

I had protected sex with my bf a couple days ago. I am on the pill. Now I feel bloated and uncomfortable. Before he came, he pulled out just to be safe. Could I be pregnant? I am really anxious and scared

Hello,

I had sex for the first time a week ago, I was on the pill. The last pill I took before intercourse was 3h before so I should be protected right? We also used a condom in case so we've been really well protected, he took it off once (when he wasnt in me) and then put it back on. So I've been quite sure it was all safe.

It's been a week now since we've done that and I got really really bloated and its been like that for 3 days now, and never in my life I've been so bloated! I'm so worried it might be early pregnacy. I took last pill 2 days ago and I still didn't have period. I usually get it around 2 days after finishing a pack though, so I hope it will come soon. I know I sound a bit panicky and crazy but is there any chance I'm pregnant? I'm just so scared.

I went to GP with the bloat, I didn't tell her exact situation but asked her if there's a chance I'm pregnant and she said she wouldnt think about it and she didnt at all. And she gave me some pills for the bloat. It didn't calm me down though...
